THE GOOD OLD SCHOOL DAYS.

Along with all the pessimhsm expressed regard
ing the condition Of American public schools. it
well not to lose our historical perspective Looking
backward find many things TO tighten the
present gloom. 4 writer who has been inquiring in
these illuminating facts
Fifty years ago there not piece Of play APP
paratus in any school ground in the United states,
gymnasium I'm any school
Fifty years ago there was only one educational
Institution in the country that gave any attention
10 farming or gardening.
Fifty years ago there was not a work bench hand
tool machine for manual training in any school
America.
Fifty years ago there not grammar school,
high school normal school. academy or college pos
sessing a laboratory.
Fifty years ago hardly any city school taught
music drawing.
Fifty years ago every American school required
All learning to come from books and ignored the
principle of learning by doing things
We have made progress since those good old
days" The schools OF that time served their pur-
pose. in way. but it a narrow way The excep-
ton child absorbed the book learning and made a
name for himself the mediocre child learned slow
ly. because he taught unscientincay. and lost
later in practice most Of what he had learned in
theory.
with all the faults of present-lay schools their
scattering" and "smatteriug' of instruction it is
likely that the average child gets out of them

ents did out of their schools

The Horoscope
SATURDAY. APRIL 3.

The astral forces for this day
seem 10 be aligned on the side of
difficulties and dangers, particularly
those which may be brought about
by ones own tendency TO flight
ness, rashness and eXcitability. This
is mainly the incentive from the
sesQui-quadrate between Mercury
and Mars-both making for tumult
or volatility. This same disposition
may lead TO accident, as well as
rash judgment and ungoverned con-
duct Every effort should be made
TO hold the temper and TO conduct
oneself with GOODNESS and equipoise
With this needed. dangers and trou-
bies may be avoided. Those in en-
Payment are under a baneful as
pect between the Luminaries. hence
they should be particularly careful
OF their positions.
Those whose birthday il is have
the presage of a year calling for
calmness and imperturbability with
constant protection OF their affairs
and themselves. a child born on this
day should early be taught the
value of self-control.

THE EXPULSION OF THOSE NEW YORK
SOCIALIST ASSEMBL ,YMEN

Sew York. through her state assembly. has es-
tablished the precedent insofar as the people will
ACCEPT it, that government in the United States of
America is henceforth to be by democrats and re-
publicans and by democrats and republicans alone.
None other need apply The advancement of any
school Of economics or political philosophy that
does not coincide with the dictums of republican
ism and democracy is declared virtual treason by
the New York state assembly. Permit to salute
Lieut.. Col. Theodore Roosevelt. who led in the fsht
against the expulsion of the assemblymen. and the
seven world veterans who with him. voted to
save the America for which they had fought from
the bloteh of SO un-Americau proceeding.
The five expelled socialists will go down in his

such. Charles Evans Hughes went before the

association and not in behalf of socialism but of
Americanism. denounced the proceeding as the
most un-American thing ever undertaken by the
legislative branch Of any government since the

ELAINE

ELAINE
A Southern favorIte is Elaine,
that most poetical and harmonious
of feminine names. Before the Civ
II War. every proud family of South
ern blood had an Elaine among its
daughters, the Elaine Fitzhughs and
Elaine Dulanys were legion. each a
belle of three countries and the
despair of many a lOvelorn South
ern gallant.
But Elaine was not born in the
South by any matter of means. Her
origin dates back to the days Of
beautiful Helen of Troy, when the
name Helen, coming from the Greek
helios, meaning light, was permitted
TO drop its initial n and become FL
len. In Cambria however, this was
too lacking in poetry 10 be popular
and IL was called Elayne. 1t oc-
Cured under that spelling in the
registers of early times and thus
explains the gentle Lady Elayne,
mother of Sir Galahad, whom Ten
IUsOn makes his Lady of Shalott.
The name came TO prominence
again as Lady Elayne of the Round
Table, Elaine the fair, Elaine the
lovable, Elaine the lily maid of
Astolot whose tragic fate Is the
source of song and story in the
'Idylls OF the King Her Irish
prototype was Elayne or Eileen
O'Brin, who likewise met with
tragic and, taking her own life af
ter being carried away to Castle
Knock by Roger Tyrrel, one Of the
fierce Advertisements.
TennysOn's description of Elaine
is exquisite:
Where could be found face daint-
Ter? Than her shape
From forehead down to foot per
fect-again
From foot to forehead exquisitely
turned
Fair she was, my King.
Pure, as you ever wish your knights
be.
To doubt her fairness were to
want an eye.
To doubt her pureness were to want
a heart"
Elaine's talismanic gem is the
pearl, giver of charm and love and
purity-fitting jewel for so lovely
name. The lily is her flower
fact which Tennyson uses with such
touching pathos is describing the
funeral bier of the dead Elaine
Monday is her lucky day and her
lucky number.

HOW DOTH THE LITTLE BUSY
BE.E2

HOW DOTH THE LITTLE BUSY
BEE?
A busy insect is the bee
A thousand bards, l guess, have
said it.
But just the same. we cannot see
That he deserves especial credit.
Nor shall we waste our readers
time
With fulsome and enraptured
phrases
And make of them fawning
To "s sing ms the small imposter's
praises.
The bee does work; that's true
enough;
Tie violates all union hours
I'm batting round the fields TO stuff
Himself with honey, culled from
flowers
But if he paused upon a limb
To rest. or gossip, or palaver
His fellow bees would light on him
And he'd be left a cold cadaver
He never quits or goes on strikes
or visits with his idle neighbOrs.
But that is not because he likes
To be engaged on toilsome la
bors.
He never loafs but that's because
The craven creature is afraid 10.
He knows the Apiarian laws
And only works because he's made
to.
So often he's been sung about
That. I'm his silly little NOODLE.
He hasn't got the slightest doubt
That he is an industrial model.
Well never praise the priggish bug.
The industry he makes such show
OF
Reminds us Of 4 lot of SNUG
Vain glorious people that we
know Of,

INTERVENTION IN ARMENIA.

The recent action of "a subcommittee of the
senate committee foreign affairs with respect
to Armenia is something that would hardly have
been expected of that body. 1t suggests that
Ercss recognize the independence of Armenia. and
recommends that tho president send warshp 20
Batum. the Armenian seaport. with a force of
American marines and with and ammuni-
ton for the Armenians to enable them TO protect
themselves against the Turks.
The official attitude of this senate committee
heretofore has always appeared to be fatty op-
posed 10 the United states mixing with the affairs
of other nations and participating in their quarrels
Yet here is recommendation that go a
distant, powder-magazine region of the earth, 10
her by force a nation with which have par
ticuar connection against another with which,
despite antpathy it. have not been and
are not now at 1t is proposed too that do
this purely account. without the
tion of any other powers.
The proposal certainly sounds less extreme
and perious and alien to traditions. than would
be the acceptance of a mandate to chaperon the
republic Armenia under the authority of the
League of Nations

START FUND FOR
MRS. WTCKL4ND

Friends of Mrs. Anna Wickland
who has been in the hospital at Car
roll for the past IA weeks have
started a movement to give her fin
.ancial aid that deserves the support
of Audubon citizens.
Mrs. Wickland has undergone q
serious operation at the Carroll hos
pital and is now about to be dis
charged but has not the money to.
Fay her hospital bill. Mrs. John
Sjoblon has interested herself in the
case and has started the movement
to ask Mrs. Wick1and's friends to
come to her assistance. During the
time she has been in the hospital
many of her friends and acquaint-
ances have inquired IL there was
anything that they could do to help
her.
That time has now come. The
greatest help than can be given her
is financial assistance. She has
hospital bill to pay and will be un-
able to work for some time.
Undoubtedly there are enough big
hearted people in Audubon county
who will come to her assistance to
help her through her misfortunes.
The banks of the town have con-
scented to become the repositories
for fund for her. Sums may be
left at either the First National
Bank or the Farmers State Bank
and It will be turned over to help
her to pay her bills.

AUDUBON COUNTY
PIONEER Is DEAD
WAS ONE OF LARGE LAND OWN
ERS OF COUNTY AND WAS
WE'LL KNOWN

Henry Schneider, one of the old
time settlers in Melville township,
died at his home late yesterday af-
ternoon after an illness extending
over several weeks.
The deceased was one of the larg-
est land owners in Audubon county.
having come here in the late SOS. He
was man of his word and highly re-
spected wherever he was known.
Henry Schneider was born July
IL, 1888 in Columbiana county,
Ohio, and died at his home January
months. Mr.. Schneider left his
home in Ohio in 1858 and travelled
over the western states, later going
to Virginia, then came west locating
in Will county, Illinois where he
was married in 1869. He was
blacksmith by trade and followed
his trade until 1889 when he located
on farm in Melville township. He
was prosperous farmer and from
time to time added to his farm hold
ings until he was the owner of sew
eral hundred acres.
He was united in marriage to
Catherine Ruddy in Illinois Deem
Der 20, 1859 and to this union six
children were born. Annie. Henry
and Catherine of Chicago, Elizabeth.
Mrs. ID. F. Kerwin and May of this
city.
At the hour of going to press this
afternoon no definite funeral ar
rangements have been made, but 1t
is thought funeral services will be
held Saturday morning.

LOCAL MEN TO ORGANIZE
LARGE STOCK COMPANY

c. c. Nelson, and Martin Chris
tiansen were in the city last week
and again this week meeting with
a number of men whom theyJare try
ing to interest in the organization of
a stock company which will have for
its purpose the buying of Canadian
Pacific railroad lands in Canada. 1t
is proposed to organize with CAPT.
tai of 100000. On completing
the organization they propose to pur-
chase a township of land in central
Alberta, Canada, which is near the
Danish colony established several
years ago.
A meeting of the men will be held
in few days when the organization
will be perfected. 1t is quite like
ly that all of the stock will be taken
by the farmers of Elk Horn, KIM
ballton and Audubon, though no
doubt others will join them.
They expect to get started in a
short time as much land is to be
broken out for spring crops. Five
tractors will be put into operation
and the entire management of the
big enterprise will be put under one
head.
This certainly is big undertake
ing, but we are informed that much
of the stock has already been taken
up and others are eager to invest
their money in a good proposition, so
the success of the venture is already
assured.

California reported 264 cases last
week as compared with "a cases the
