Midst the sweet blossoms that smile
on our faces
Grow the rank weeds that would
poison and blight;
And cen in the midst of earth's
beautiful places
There's always something that
isn't just right.
Yet oft from the rock we may pick a
gay flower,
And drink from spring i'm a desc
late waste;
They come to the heart as a heavenly
dover
And nought is so sweet To the eye
or the taste.
Every day toll is an everyday bless
ing.
Though poverty's cottage and crust
we may share;
Weak is the back on which burdens
are pressing
But stout is the heart that is
strengthened by prayer
or other the pathway grows
brighter
Just when we mourned there was
none to befriend;
Hope in the heart makes the burden
seem lighter,
And somehow or other we get to
the end.
Exchange.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES
Items OF Interest to Friends and
Patrons OF our Schools.
STANDARDS OF SCHOLARSHIP

Two views are held among school
teachers and superintendents, as to
what shall be done with pupils who
fail to keep up. The old time teacher
was rather inclined To pass them
along. The student it was argued,
would lose interest if compelled to
drop back into another class. lie had
probably got about all that can be had
out of that grade or stage of his work.
He will get more to let him go on
than he will to make him grind over
the same work again.
a few years ago there was wide
spread impression that a good athlete
could slip along through almost any
college. OF recent years, both in COL
leges and high schools, there seems
TO be a stricter feeling about scholar
ship requirements for athletes.
That many Of the colleges are now
imposing severe tests was suggested
by the news reports Of the past week.
to the effort that at Cornell University,
la men have dropped as the result Of
the mid-year exams" Also 169 others
were placed on probation and denied
many privileges
Probably some students do lose
heart on being dropped back. Also
the better portion OF the class, who
are allowed TO go on, make a distinct
gain by parting company with the
sluggards An indolent pupil is mere
baggage Explaining things TO him,
which he should have worked out for
himself, robs the rest OF the class of
valuable time. They all tend TO drop
TO this low standard. Bright pupils
compare their work with his, and are
satisfied with mediocre performance.
The experience OF slipping along
easily by the tests Of school or college
must demoralize a student. ii Will
not be thus when he gets into business.
There competition will have its effect,
his efficiency will quickly be eliminat
ed, and he will drop into the back ed
dies of life. He needs in the Sc
clusion of school, a taste Of the same
sharp jolts that he will get when he
ventures out into the cold world.
The modern methods Of taking care
of this situation in the grades is by
the institution Of the ungraded room
In the ungraded rooms pupils are ad-
vanced just as they are fitted to adj
vance individually.

And fit us as close as the garments

Lovers grow cold and our friendships

years and of his dis-esteem of those
who have adopted them.
''Mr. Taft says we have an excess
of reform and that the leaders of the
great reform movement have built up a
political machine, that the state rail,
road commissions frighten away new
capital, that we must not gag the
originality, genius and enterprise of
American business men and that we
have done this by corporate control
With calm superiority he points out
our faults and the wrongs we have com
mitted in most general terms. But
his benevolence in behalf of Cali
fornia goes no further than generally to
denounce us and the denunciation rests
in the complacency and assumed super
iority of our critic.
"Mr. Taft insists that non-partisan-
ship in the state will destroy democracy.
From such champion of democracy as
Mr.. Taft, this Illumination oyerwhelms
US as with an awful blight.
"Mr. Taft, in his sneers at the ac-
complishment of the state of California,
represents conservatism just as it has
been known for centuries. The two
parties which divide the state, tae
partv of Conservatism and that Of In
novation, are very old, and have dis
puted the possession of the world ever
since it was made. The battle OF
patrician and plebeian of parent'state
and colony of old usage and accommo,,
dation to new facts, of the rich and
poor, reappears in all countries and
times -

Many Improvements
On School Buildings
During Past Summer

During the past summer, improve
ments of various kinds have been going
on in the public school buildings. All
of these improvements have been in the
way of absolutely necessary repairs, or
in work that had to be done from an
economical standpoint.
In the Lincoln, Washington and Grant
schools, where the Junior High schools
will be established, rooms in the base
ments have been ipartitioned off and
equipped for the domestic science and
domestic art classes. Instead of going
to the expense of building an annex to
each of these buildings, space was par
titioned off in the Easements for this
work.
At Yew Park and Highland concrete
walks have been built from the build
ings to the edge of the property line.
At the High school, new bicycle shed
has been erected to accommodate about
80 wheels. This was necessary as last
year quite a number of the bicycles had
to stand out in the rain and all kinds
of weather. New spring faucets have
also been placed in the High school to
avoid the waste of water. Parts Of the
domestic science equipment of the High
school have been rebuilt and improved
and will be placed in the Washington
school. These have been replaced in
the High school by equipment especial
" adapted for the advance work.
In the Richmond and Englewood
school buildings much of the plastering
has been replaced, where necessary,
with Keene's cement. Considerable
work of this kind has also been done in
the Highland school Park school win
have new concrete walks and other
minor improvements. The Garfield
building has been kept in such good
condition that no work was necessary in
the way of repairs

Nine Hundred Carmen
Strike In Albany, N. Y.

Albany, N, Y, Sept. 6.--The Empire
state capital took its transportation
afoot, in jitneys, or friendly autos to-
day when 900 car men went ON strike,
completely tying up the city system.
The men claimed unfair treatment.
Sympathetic strikes in Schenectady
and Troy, large nearby cities, are fear
ed.
The crowds of early morning men and
women workers took the new mode of
transportation good natIfredly for the
most part, though inflicted considerable
hardship on the residents of outlying
districts.
Up to early afternoon no disorder
marked the strike.
