THE MEN WHO WIN.

The greatest thing in the world is
q mani speak in generic terms-not
a crowd OF men, but one man, says
Charles Stelzle. A crowd Of men Is
man reduced to his lowest terms. The
best is last, the worst is usually upper
most. The crowd manifests the ele-
mentary things; the mai reveals the
finest possibilities of the race.
Made in the image Of Coda little
lower than the angeIs-every man
may take courage and 60 to his task
without fear.
No system, or combination, or
principally, or power or any other
creature is strong enough to deprive
| him of his God given rights. He has
| God on his side, and God and one are
a majority. After all, it is not 80
much the fact that men form powerful
orga nizations that makes them win
out; it is because come one man sup.
plies the necessary force and Are
| In a very real sense every man
stands alone-just as alone as though
he were the only man in the world
While there are times when we may
think zen masse," and work in gangs
and trade in corporations, and pray b.
congregations, and sing In choruse|
nevertheless, there comes the time
when we must do these things alone
or fail absolutely. Society cannot dc
everything for q man; there are Soma
things which he must do for himself.
There are few Of Us who may no

RURAL EDUCATION.

The editors of the Saturday Evening
Post, who have brains enough to pro-
duce a paper which has achieved a
circulation of 100000 copies and is
probably the most widely read single
publication in the world, have this to
say of rural school consultations:
1T ought TO be pretty well under
stood by this time that the one-room
rural district school beloved of our
grandfatheTs is mostly a scandalous
institution. The typical teacher is a
girl just out of normal, much under
paid, sometimes overworked and some
times with only half dozen pupils OF
assorted ages.
"a Vermont report covering thirty
two such schools shows that in three
years there were one hundred and
seventeen different teachers, of whom
l-cn an average-more than half
served less than two terms.
| "A great majority OF these schools
are poorly housed and hardly equipped
at ADJUST bare little room with a
desk, rostrum, a blackboard and a
poisonous cast iron stove That eff
cient instruction can be had under
such conditions is out of the question.
And there is less and less excuse
for the typical one-room, ungraded
rural district school Our grandfath-
ers could have that or nothing. In
their day the nearest town was ten
miles or more away and the road all
but impossible half the year
Now-all over the middle west at
least-there are few rural districts
that are not within easy haul OF a
village graded school; still fewer that
might not have a fairly equipped grad
ed school within easy haul by conscli
dating the districts. Already in some
localities a wagon to bring in the
country children is as much a part o!
the educational equipment as the ira
ditional blackboard itself
Like some other poor institution,
the little red school house subsists
mainly on prejudice and mere inertia
If educating children is worth all this
effort, to give them tolerably efficient
teaching is worth Just little more eff
fort"

PICTURES ON THE SLATE.
some evenings when the lamps are
lit,
Before It's bedtime yet for me,
And all of US together Sit
To quietly digest our tea,
Mamma with nsedle swift and keen,
Papa with book or magazine.
Dear Uncle George, who lives near by,
And laughs alike at rain or snow,
With good gray head and kindly eye.
VIII come to spend an hour or So
End always when he comes | take
Delight If I'm downstairs awake.
For Uncle George believes in boys
Far more than many uncles do.
He knows about their games and toys,
Ann sympathizss with them, too;
And then his power is very great
To draw YOU pictures on your slate.
He'll sometimes draw me ships In
sail,
With pennons at the jib and mast;
He'll draw horse with flying tail,
And hoofs that show they gallop
fast;
He'll draw me cows; and once he
The friskiest little kangaroo.
He'll draw Turk with turban high,
And sword that crooks, and oulg-
ing pants.
And any artist I defy
To beat him at his elephants;
And when he draws me dogs bark,
Relieving l can hear them bark.
How much his Cinnamon amuse
I fear / could not put in words,
With pigtails down their backs, and
shoes
AS point 20 as the beaks OF birds;
And oh, I'd fail to tell by half
How much his monkeys make me
laugh.
But prettier views he shapes at ease
OF lofty castles decked with towers,
And lakes below them fringed by
trees.
And terraced landings lost III po"-
erS,
And swans that swim in graceful
bands
To feed from leaning ladies' hands.
But, ali. OF all he ever draws,
His handsome soldiers rank apart;
I can't explain it, but they cause
A curious beating at my heart.
With sashes, muskets, buttons, caps,
They are such gallant-looking chaps.
And once, with pencil quick and fres,
He drew the merriest soldier boy
But when he said 1t looked like me
blushed for vanity and Joy.
It pleased me to such great extent,
This military compliment.
