THE COST OF

Most everyone has an idea of what should be taught in our
schools, the only difficulty being that too many would-b directors
of educational systems hold diverse opinions. One considers his
pet idea to be all important and pushes 1T to the extreme, while
another is just as insistent that his pet study is absolutely neces-
sary for the future welfare OF the nation and world at large. In a
great many of these hobbies of our educators the fundamentals of
education appear to be almost overlooked entirely The progress
of America is founded up on the ability of the native Americans to
think for themselves and it seems to us that this is the all import
ant thing in education. There is little question but that the ter
iffic increase in the cost of education in our own state is largely
due to the multiplicity of extraneous subjects now included in the
curriculum of our schools, not only in the higher grades, but in the
lower. Speaking on this subject, the editor of the Butte Post re-
Gently had the following to say:
Zone thing many w~el-wishers of the schools forget, and that
is the foundation on which these studies must rest, if they are to
do any good. First and foremost, schools must teach their chill
dren how to think. If a child has been taught how to get a tight
hold of facts in his memory, how to reason problems out to their
conclusions, then when he is a bit older he can be trusted to tackle
for himself, with sound results, matters of art, economics, health,
manners and carpentry.
But if all his training is sipshod and superficial, none of it
will stick. Thorough analysis of arithmetic examples, maintenance
of standards of excellence in spelling, education of hand muscles
in legible writing, rules of grammar which will enable him to work
out his own language problems-these things train the mind and
help make it that clear cold logic engine" Huxley said it should
be.
Anything can be learned or done with a well trained mind.
Nothing can be done with a hazy, lazy, unexercised mind.
"Then there's the financial factor in the case. Silver Bow
county has had the meanest kind of a time of it in recent months,
with respect to the district schools and its dealings with Commits
sioner Baldwins board of trustees. But in practically all parts of
the state, quite aside from our own districts miserable condition,
the financial status is astonishing. A startling exhibit has recent
ly been published. 1t shows that the total expenditure in Montana
for public schools, including high schools, was S.. 49,. 236 in 1914;
it was S10040,63 in 1918; it was ~$14s214,140 in 1920. What
about it,"

First of all have you registered. Tomorrow is the last day in
which you can register in order to vote at the primary election on
August 20. All those who failed to vote at the last general cleo
ton must register in order to retain their franchise. Candidates
for county office must have their petitions filed with the county
clerk and recorder not later than August IA
The most important thing for everybody is to see that their
record relating to their vote is straight so that they will not be
disappointed when they come to cast their ballot, and while the
primary law is in force, it is just as important for everybody to
vote at the primaries as it is at the general election next Novem-
Der. Even now there are rumors touching a concerted attempt
to place weak candidates upon the ticket by the opposing party at
the primaries in order to have a better chance for their party man
at the general election. Under the present law it can be done, re-
gardess of the despicabiity of such a plan, and in order to defeat
any such methods, every voter should make it a point to attend
the primaries and cast a vote for his party candidates. We doubt
if the rmuor has any real foundation, but at the same time it is a
suggestion not without danger and carries a possibility that should
be guarded against.
We have printed several editorials regarding the general I'M
d~esirability of the primary law of Montana and its failure in prac-
and the above is only one of the objections to its practical
workings. The attempt to get a referendum measure before the
voters for its repeal has been started, but the latest reports are
that it has failed to get the required number of signatures. This
rather unfortunate, as there is little question but the prevailing
sentiment of the voters of the state are for its repeal, or at least
to have it stripped of many of the most Objectionable features.

RIDDICK PLEADS GUILTY

About two months ago considerable prominence was given o.
the democratic press of the state to certain charges made by IN
National civil service league against Congressman Carl Riddick
Most people, whether they be of the same political faith or not
like a man who is true to his friends, and the Fergus County Argus
in it's issue of June 20 emphasizes this fact when it refers to the
above charges, as follows:
Congressman Carl Riddick pleads guilty to a certain charge
made against him by the national civil service league. TINS charge
was made in May and Mr.. Riddick has been so busy that ne dldnt
get around to enter his plea of guilty until quite recently.
"The charge was in effect that he had been making recon-
mendations for federal appointments OF men who had shown their
interest in the republican party by active work in its behalf.
"Also Mr.. Riddick has stood by his friends and has been very
dllgent In their behalf, something that strikes the national civil
service league and others of the effete east as being just awful.
"Some of these far fasteners would make the correct solution
of problems in trigonometry a sufficient test for eevating a per-
they recently permitted 40 thieves to enter the employ of the New
York postoffice, and now they recommend that finger prints be
made of all appointees of applicants for appointment, so if they
have a criminal record, it may be traced.
"Out here in this rough and ready western country a man that
fails to stand up for his friends and show his appreciation of what
they may have done for him, is considered a double crosser and is
branded as one who deserves nothing whatsoever. He is kicked
out of the society of decent citizens. Mr.. Riddick has certainly
in positions. OF course he has been unable to land all of them, but
he has been mighty diiigent. And the men he has recommended
for appointment do not have to have their finger prints on record
in order to protect the government. Mr.. Rlddlck knows every one
of them personally, and knows their record for a long time back
and it is a pretty safe bet that ne has made very few mistakes so
far.
"At least we have never heard of any ex-criminals, horse
thieves or booteggers who have been appointed to federal jobs by
reason of his recommendation.
"On the other hand, we might say that the republican news
papers of Mr.. Riddicks district have been very charitable and
decent in not showing up the shortcomings of certain appointees
of the Wilson administration who have been weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting-also short.
"This charge against Mr.. Riddick was sent broadcast over the
country about May Is, and some of our western newspapers played
the story up in sixineh headlines. 1t was great stuff and juicy,
but Mr.. Riddicks plea of guilty to the charge makes them look
silly"

IN THE NICK OF TIME

AS a cure for the blues the rain which came last week at
about the most opportune time that it could have happened, is, in
our judgment, one of the best prescriptions that could be COM
pounded. 1t brought smiles to everybody, regardless of their oc
cupation, and recalled to the old-time weather observers various
years of the past when bumper crops followed seasons of similar
climatic conditions as that of the present. In the opinion of the
farmers of this section the winter wheat crop is practically assured
and spring grain has been given an impetus that will go far in
bringing it to maturity in good shape. The stockmen also remind
us that there is plenty of moisture for a good second crop of al
fafa while the pastures are renewed for another month or so. The
best part of the rejoicing is the fact that the STERN appeared to
be general over practically the whole state, and in many sections
1t is said that they really needed it if the crops were to be saved
In this immediate section. while the farmers were worrying a
little over a couple of weeks of rather hot and dry weather, still
most of them claimed that there had as yet been no real damage,
and with a reserve of moisture still in the ground in MANY places.
However that may be, the rainfall was none the less welcome and
arrived none too soon for everybody.
Quite a lot of hay was caught out, but few farmers are worry
ing over that matter, as they win more than make it up by in
creased yields Of grain. There are few times in Montana that rain
- not welcome.

Cascade Third in
Mineral Production

Cascade county ranked third among
the metal producing counties of the
state in 1921, with S587,850 as the to-
tai value of minerals mined during that
period, according to statistics an
nounced by the United States geolog-
ical survey. The two counties whose
mine products exceed in value those
of this county were Silver Bow, with
$13,194,969, and Granite, with $685.
022.
Seventeen mines in Cascade county
produced $780, 10 fine ounces of gold in
1921, 512,095 fine ounces of silver,
2,09S pounds of copper and 1,496, 1897
pounds of lead. Cascade county was
third in both lead and silver production
the counties Of Granite and Silver
Bow again holding the first two
places.
Other counties standing out as i'm
p~ortant in the mineral industry were
Deer Lodge, ~$223,444; jefferson,
$194 $50; Judith Basin, Silt 1863; Lew
is and Clark, SAL COG; Madison, $780,
573, and Fergus county $82,739.
More copper was produced in the
state than any other metal, a total of
4S,OSo, I3O pounds being mined. Re-
coverable zinc, with 23,275,9 66 pounds,
was second, and lead with 20, 366,917
pounds was third. There was IT,
631.91 fine ounces of gold produced,
Madison county leading with a yield of
81 ,065.52 ounces. Lewis and Clark
county ranked second in gold produc-
ton.
The total value of metals mined in
the state was SIG, 1924 ,521, as compared
with S65,573,047 in 1920. The higher
production value in 1920, the statistics
show, is partially accounted for by the
fact that better prices for minerals
obtained that year than in 1921
and also because of smaller produc-
ton. The copper production in 1920
more than tripled the yield in 1921.
Mines in operation in the state in
1921 numbered AS, or II less than in
1920.
