EDUCATIONAL,
(By G. w. Meisuest,)
CONTESTS.

II is time to begin to think about our
contest work. Contests will be held in
oral and Written Spelling, Adding,
Practical Arithmetic and Geography at
the time of our County Commencement,
June 3. There is no reason why teach
ers may not inject other contest work
into the program at the town contests.
Every school ought to have contest
before entering the county contest. In
the past we have had town contests.
We shall again have them this year but
if after IA meeting of the teachers OF a
town they decide on n different scheme
there will be no objection. II two or
three schools wish to compete there will
be no objection. often such contests
could be held in school house. This
will be left entirely with the teachers.
In some schools children may need en-
enlargement in this work. 1t is largely
y to the teacher, 1t should be under
stood that special drills in this contest
work ought not be given apart from that
given during school, or for opening eN-
ercses. In fact the teacher who gives
this drill daily will be the winner every
time over the one who may not do this
work as thorough every day and then
pile it up just before the contest.
Then there should he good literary
program in connection with each con
test This program should not last over
forty minutes or an hour AS each
school will furnish but a few numbers
on this program there will be no excuse
or poor numbers. Teachers are advis-
ed not to have anything to do with any
social that may follow the program,
In fact they should discourage it, or let
the proprietor Of the hall attend to that
The following teachers will act as
chairmen of the towns and will in a
measure be held responsible for the con
test. He should call meeting of the
teachers of his town To arrange matters.
The chairman must get the ball roll

cosaACKo OF TIE DON

Joined side by side in fight against
Bohdan Chmielnicki (164s-1657) is the
subject of Sienkiewicz's widely-read
novel. by Fire and Sword" The
Cossacks of the Don gave Russia no
little trouble. Under the leadership
of Stenka Razine, who promised free
dom to all who would follow his
standard, the Cossacks rallied faith
fully to battle. AS with all such fig
ures, legends have grown up around
Razine. one of which imputes to him
a felt cap which rendered him invis-
ible. He was finally captured in 1871.
dying by torture without so much
as a murmur.
For long time the death of the
famous leader was doubted, and le-
gend has 1t that he made various ap-
pearances, now among Russian sail
ors, among Persian prisoners and on
the Caspian s9a. He is here repre-
sented as a yhite-haired old man.
One hundred Years later it was be-
lieved that Polgatcheff, who then
played role similar to that of Ra-
zine, was really an incarnation of the
adventurous bandit and good fellow.
Soldiers First Of All.
Felicien Pascal, writing in one of
the leading European magazines of
the Cossacks and their effects upon
the literature CT the surrounding ma
tions. points out that in the novel of
the Pole Michael Czajkowski, entitled,
The Zaporog's Sweetheart" the life
of the Cossack and the ideals for
which he lives finds one of it's most
effective and realistic settings.
First OF all, as one by this time may
easily guess, the Cossack is a soldier.
For battle he is born, and in battle he
finds his most glorious death. To la
Dor is a calamity, and work is looked
down upon. Every true Cossack must
bristle with a fierce independence,
must burn with passion for war.
And thus in the tale of the Cossack
and his sweetheart, when we find Os-
tap ready to thrust aside the sword
for the love OF Marienka, we must
see in his abandonment OF the fight
the greatest sacrifice possible to a
Cossack. We come to the marriage
of Ostap and Marienka. At this mo-
ment n troop of Cossacks is going by,
within Ostaps hearing. The latter,
despite all vows, seizes his white
steed. jumps on his back and makes
q mad dash across hedges. bitches and

formidable individual is ordi-
nar1Iy looked upon as q member of
an elite, redoubtable, savage cavalry,
who are absolutely insensible to any
such emotion as fear. And, to be
sure, the present war has provided
both ample opportunity for the test
ing of that fearlessness and proof of
it's steadfast refusal to be intimidated.
The Cossacks have faced every mur
derous resource of the twentieth cen
tury science with the same courage
that has distinguished them from
their earliest days, writes DR.. l. Gold
berg in the Boston Transcript.
Their fire, their spirit, their abso-

role of modern, purely warrior state
was left by history for the Prussia of

War, however, endangers literature;

on the other hand. inspired genuine
works of art in England, France, Rus

owes very much indeed to the inspi-

The original meaning Of the word

Gabriel Sarrazin, in his work on the
great romantic poets Of Poland, "en-
genders Cossacks." Here, in the mid
die ages was the place of refuge for
all manner of criminals, vagabonds,
refugees and fugitives. who banded to-
gether into a confederation.
Cossack life and that of Poland have
time and again interpenetrated, now
in combat against each other, now
