~ YEAR OF LINCOLN

We are indebted to Judge r. M.
Wanamaker, of the Supreme Court
of Ohio, for this fine idea: Let A.
merican high schools teach at least
one year Of Lincoln, in place of a
year Of Caesar, Cicero or Vergil,
which nine high-school pupils out of
ten uselessly blunder through and
:orget within a few years.
Teaching the use of the English
language is one Of the prime objects
of public school instruction. Lin
coin was one Of the masters of En-
glish. His simple, luminous senten-
ces, which go as straight as bullets,
are models for the pupil that cannot
be improved upon.
School instruction seeks to form
and strengthen a pupils reasoning
powers.
To follow Lincoln's mind through
his great controversies is an educa-
tion in reasoning that no classical
example surpasses. By classical ex-
amples schools seek to teach "the
humanities" intelligent tolerant
comprehension of ones fellow men.
In an all extant literature no man
exhibits this quality more consist
emily and pursuasively than Lincoln.
His courage, which staked all, dared
all, and stood like rock when a great
cause was involved, yet was ever
ready to compromise, to wink at de-
linquencies, and pass by affronts in
small matters; his proper ambition,
which led him to seek honorable pre-
ferment, yet never betrayed him into
mere selfishness; his heroic modesty;
his humor-will enrich any mind,
young or old, that studies them.
Above all, for the American, Lin
coin incarnated American democracy.
Its technic will differ from decade to
decade. Specifically it will not seek
one object and now another; but it's
enduring spirit is embodied in his
life and utterances.
Schools do teach something of Lin
coln-a vague sketch and smattering
of him. 1t is high time he became
a staple of American education. His
collected writings and speeches not
only contain the soul of the Ameri-
can story, but are highly worth read
ing simply as literature-as the pie
ture of mind slowly evolving out
Of apparent commonplace into su-
preme greatness, and so leading a
people through a great crisis.
There should be at least one year
of Lincoln in every American school.

STATE BRIDGE INSPECTION

State Bridge Inspector M. ]. Hof-
,n'sn s~ss'ived- <4t Saturday 3nightt's
stage and OH Sunday morning inspec-
ted the bridges at Devils Track and
Cascade. He was much pleased with
the structure, the total cost per foot
being lower than any concrete brid ge
erected in the State. This is very
gratifying considering that steel and
all materials are very high and labor
nearly twice as high as last season
with men scarce. The Devils Track
bridge was erected by the County at
a much lower cost and it's cost per
running foot was way below that Of
any other concrete bridge erected in
TIE State Of Minnesota, the differ
ence in cost of erection being due
to the differences in price of mater
ials and labor when the bridges were
erected.

We ARE FROM COOK COUNTY
AND PROUD OF IT

In the recent litigation in Koochi-
ching county, Attorney N. B. Arm
old, appoited by the Governor to
make the investigation, was referred
to by the defending attorneys as the
"Gentleman from Cook county" The
same reference was correctly applied
to Engineer Hughes when he was
spoken of. The reference was of
course made in an effort to belittle
these men and what they had to say,
Cook county being commonly known
as the only county in the state with
out railroad transportation facilities.
We have no railroad but a compari-
son of roads built in Cook county and
koochiching county is interesting in
this connection.
Koochiching county has spent a
round half million dollars on road
construction during the past few
years, and has constructed one hun
dred-fifty nine miles of road with
that money. The best mile of road
in that one hundred ffty-nine miles
is about equal in construction and
finish with the worst mile of road
on State roads in Cook county, or
about equal to the worst of the road
between here and Good Harbor Hill.
Their opportunity for road building
is much more favorable than ours, it
being possible to do all of the work
with graders as soon as the clearing
is done.
The total amount spent on Cook
county roads during the past few
years, including what the separate
townships have spent on them, is a.
bout $150,O00.00. We have a road
from one end of the county to the
other, a road that has elected much
favorable comment from tourists, the
total length of the road being about
eighty miles.
When we consider the road build
ing in the two counties, we may
we'll hold up our heads and say, 1--WE
are from Cook county and we're
proud of it."
