SPEED THE ICE MAN.

Among the many occupations Of
urban communities none are of more
Importance than that of the ice man
and none are subject to more unjust
criticism than he and that too when
the fault inmany cases may be traced
to the purchaser. Especially is this
the case in delayed delivery, must Of
ten occasioned by lack Of cooperation
on the part of housewives or other
purchasers causing wagons to await
their pleasure or convenience while
attending to other matters. Ice melts
rapidly when exposed to air and sun
shine awaiting delivery and there are
heard complaints of short weight.
There should be the heartiest and
speediest cooperation between pur-
chaser and the ice man and the lat
ter should not be forced to long waits
simply because purchaser is tardv IN
preparing to receive the cooling and
refreshing CONCEALED element. The
Enterprise is led to this lecture by the
following the St. Paul News:
"A web of romance has been woven
about certain occupations.

throttle and eyes fixed upon the track,

Page 404: "To abolish it (slavery)
was to make the war for the Union
a lofty ideal in itself, still more ap-
pealing to the hearts of men and
women in the North by enlarging it
into war for freedom" This is a
bitter falsehood. The Emancipation
Of slaves was purely war measure.
The North was fighting for the pre-
servation of the Union and not for the
destruction of slavery.

French harbor and voluntarily came

advocates breaking down the color

races in the South, and will tend to
create race feeling.
Page 4S5: Zone Of the most inter-
esting and important facts about the
inventors is that so many of them
came from the common walks Of lite
rather than from the aristocracy OF
wealth and talent what is meant
by the "aristocracy Of wealth and
talent?' Is it another effort to ar
ray class against class, that is so
clearly evident throughout the book?)

sometimes called, richer and more
powerful than kings Of old 1mpos-

other effort to create class feeling.
It should be noted that Eugene V.
Debs, the Socialist, who advocates the
abolshment of the Constitution, and
who is now in prison for attempting 70
obstruct our Government in its pre-
secution of the War against Ger
many, is mentioned THREE TINES
and mentioned favorably; John Mar
shall, the great expounder Of the Con-
stitution, is nowhere mentioned in the
text. The child who studies this text
will regard Eugene Debs as one OF
] Americas greatest men; he will know
| nothing about John Marshall.

feeling.
Pages 5O8-521-A chapter of pure
Socialism.
Pages 09-e37-On the World War
very pro-German.
The Beard and Bagley text book is
unfair in it's treatment Of the South,
offensive in it's treatment Of the negro
question, Socialistic throughout, and
is Pro- German in it's treatment of the
World War. It is attractively and
pedagogically written, but this fact
makes it all the more dangerous for
its unsound doctrines will make a
deeper impression on young child's
mind than if they were presented in
an unattractive form. The insidious
effort to inculcate the Socialistic doc
trine, to array class against class, its
misrepresentation of the South, and
its many errors make it one Of the
most .angerous text books ever Of
fered br adoption in our schools.
