SELF EDUCATION

Has it ever occurred to you that
each sentence which you hear brings
a picture to your mind; that the
picture which you see is one much
larger than that depicted by the
words? We do not realize that we
are daily developing our minds and
training them to enlarge on each
subject which enters in. A mans
or a woman's whole life is thus
unknowingly spent in developing
the intellect. This is where origi-
mating enters into the curriculum.
One who cannot think things for him
self, but depends wholly upon what
has been set down before him, is al
together dependent. He can rely upon
no part of himself. He is as ma
chine run by some outside force, with
no inward spirit to prompt him.
| In the modern school the teacher
is but an agent of the process of
developing child's brain. She sug'
gests certain ideas, and the pupils
mind travels further on, and new ideas
are formed in his head. It is like.
wise with books and lessons. It is
not what is written in black and white
that counts, but what underlying
meaning there is in it, and whether
or not we are able to pick out the
meaning. When we are able thus tt
find things for ourselves, and to en-
large upon ideas, we are then gaining
an education. But each man mus
think for himself; his neighbor can
not think for him. For if we were
all to depend upon some one othel
than ourselves we would all be help
less. Instead we are all here to gai1
and to give all that we can, to make
the most out of what is given US.
What is lacking at present is tn,
inability to summon our powers ant
learning when we are called to d.
so. No two minds will respond at tn,
same time to question. Some minds
travel more rapidly than others AM
in order to have them respond NOR,
readily they must first of all be givel
a course of development and exercis,
as has often been quoted mo man i
educated until he can summon in al
Emergency, all his powers"

OUTLOOK IS
FRIGHTENING
Signs of Substantial Revival
In Ore Business, Says
Locker.

DULUTH, May 21.-There has been
a decided change in the iron ore stu
alton during the last few days and
general business in the East is begin
ming to show signs of substantial re-
vival, according to w. H. Locker Of
the Locker-Donahue company, who
has returned from Philadelphia, where
he had been engaged in closing the
final details in connection with the or
ganization of the AMERICAN Manga
nese Manufacturing company.
Everything pertaining to the deal
has gone along satisfactorily without
a hitch developing in any quarter, he
averred. The assent of the stockhold-
ers of the Dunbar Furnace company to
the transaction has been obtained, and
it is expected that the agreement will
be formally ratified at a meeting of
that company to be held on June 2. 1t
is planned to have the iron furnaces at
Dunbar, Pa, in operation under the
new organization by July l.
In the meantime mining operations
Mr.. Locker said, will be pushed at the
properties of the Cuyuna-Mille Lacs
and the Cuyuna-Duluth Iron compan~
les which are being merged into the
American Manganese Manufacturing
company. The raising from 100000
to 300, 900 tons of ore at these mines is
proposed during the present season.
Between 100000 and $4,000 tons are
now accumulated on their stockpiles.
The working forces at both mines are
to be increased in the near future, so
that large tonnage may be available
to ship with the going into operation
of the Eastern furnaces in the con-
solidation.
Steel Outlook Brightens.
Discussing the iron and steel situa-
ton, Mr.. Locker said that Eastern
steel manufacturers are looking for
ward to the materialiszing of a good
buying movement in the event of the
Forthcoming decision of the interstate
commerce commission in the rate ques-
ton being favorable to the railroads.
Bullish sentiment is-also being pro-
noted in financial and industrial quar-
GERS through the good crop outlook.
Up to date only small tonnage of
ore has been contracted for by the
independents largely for the reason,
| according to unofficial statements,
that mine owners are not satisfied
with the schedule of prices fixed and
ire holding back. There is said to be
general expectation among opera
sors that Forthcoming developments
in the situation will be of such nature
as to lead to advances in ore prices
| ater on in the season, by reason of the
| fact that stocks now being carried at
the Lower Lakes ports are compara-
lively small and will thus render nee
essary the hurrying on of shipments.
"The manager of one of the biggest
vessel concerns outside Of the Pitts
burg Steamship company expressed
the opinion to me that vessel space
will be at premium by the middle of
the season." averred Mr.. Locker. "His
reason for entertaining that view was
the expectation that there will be
heavy demand for space on the part
of shippers by that time"
Mr.. Locker will leave for the East
again tomorrow to assist in placing
the finishing touches upon the plans
of the big consolidation.

old county is getting in line with
the wide awake and progressive
counties OF the state and

and we stand in need of more
progressive farmers. They are
coming and after all it will not
take so long to have all our
lands utilized. The waste and
