Living History.

A Boston University professor
comes forward TO recommend the
reading of newspapers as part of
the public school course.
Isn't this rank heresy in the realm
of educa ton? It's easy to recall the
time when any college professor
who recommended the reading Of
newspapers for any purpose what
soever would have lost caste. News
papers were regarded by all high
brows as hopelessly vulgar, futile
and trashy. Some of them, horrible
to relate, were yellow" Nearly all
were beneath the dignity of a schol-
ar, particularly the news columns.
And as for putting such stuff into
the hands of innocent school chill
dren-the very idea!
Maybe .he newspapers have i'm
proved since that epoch; we hope
they haye. But certainly the edu-
Gators have improved. And as they
wake up to an interest in real life,
and perception of the fact that
education is intended to fit children
to live the same life, they develop
appreciation of the wonderful ad-
vantages offered to every man, wo-
man and child by the modern news
paper.
TIE teachers of the young used
to act as if history were worthless
until it had become fossilized in
books. Now they recognize that we
have here, in the news columns from
day to day, history in the making
which is vastly more interesting
and perhaps vastly more important
than any ever concocted from the
bones of dead vents.-Augusta
Chronicle.

Death of an Infant.

Death came and kissed away the
life of little Louis Burnett last
THURSDAY morning. Louis was the
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Burnett. He was only six months
old but was sweet and lovely
child. We join in with the whole
community in sympathy for the be-
reaved ones.
1t has been two weeks since we
have had rain. The roads have
dried off wonderfully. The log drag
has been used in many places and
has helped SO much.
The farmers have lost no time in
sowing oats.
Mr.. Tom Wood sowed wheat last
week.
We are sorry to report the severe
illness OF our friends, Messrs. H.
H. Smith and George Mathis. Both
are thought to be some better this
morning. We hope and pray for
their speedy recovery.

A MESSAGE TO THE NORTHWEST

7 AM an old man now, and have seen many
things in the world. l have seen this
great country that we speak of as the
Northwest come, in my lifetime, to be popu-
lous and rich. The forest has fallen before
the pioneer, the field has blossomed and the
cities have risen to greatness If there is
anything that an old man eighty years of
age could say to a people among whom he
has spent the happiest days of his life, it is
this:
We live in the most blessed country in the
world. The things we have accomplished are
only the beginning. AS the years go on, and
always we increase our strength, our power
and wealth we must not depart from the
simple teachings of our youth; for the moral
fundamentals are the same and unchange-
able
Here in the Northwest we shall make a
race of men that shall inherit the earth.
Here in the distant years, when l and 9TH
ers who have labored with me shall long
have been forgotten, there will be power
in material accomplishment, in spiritual at
tainment, in wealth, strength and moral in
fluence, the like of which the world has not
yet seen. This l firmly believe. And the
people of the Northwest, moving ever for
ward to greater things, will accomplish all
this as they adhere always to the moral fun
damentals, and not otherwise.

TRUTH. NOT POETRY

Drank Day picks c. G. Schulz, state su-
r perintendent of public instruction, as
good gubernatorial timber. There is
no doubt about it-Schulz is big enough for
the lob and he would get the votes. The
same thing might be said of Jim Peterson,
William E, Lee, Sam Iverson, J. A. A. Burn
ouist and half dozen others. But the big
task before the Republican party is not to
find candidates but to eliminate them. The
abundance of good gubernatorial material
has been the weakness of the Republican
party the scarity Of it has been the strength
of the Democratic A divided Republican
party is no match for united Democratic
party, especially when the latter receives aid
and comfort from blacksliding Republicans.

bad When he eats all the meat in the lam,
lily he is doing the rest of the family a real
service. The main point in which he is all
wrong is his distrust of his wife in the mat
ter of buying. His case may be an exception,
but in nine cases out of ten the wife is bet
ter buyer than the husband. After all is
said and done, the outstanding fact about
Mickle is that he went and did it. He did
marry and he did raise family"

THINGS TO FORGET

If you see tall fellow ahead of crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless and
proud,
And you know of tale whose mere telling
aloud
Would cause his proud head to in anguish
be bowed,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of skeleton hidden away
In closet, and guarded, and kept from
the day
In the dark; and whose showing, whose sud-
den display,
Would cause grief and sorrow and lifelong
dismay,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of thing that will darken the
joy
Of a man or woman, girl or boy,
That will wipe out smile or the least way
annoy
A fellow, or cause any gladness to cloy,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
