EDUCATING THE NATIONS YOUTH.

If statistics assembled by Dr. Leonard V. Kroos for the Federal Office of Education trustworthy between 1890 and the present the percentage of children of high school age attending such institu- tions multiplied twelve and one-half times. Four per cent of all the children of the country in that age group attended high schools in l8e0 while today It has increased to 50 per cent. This percentage, Dr Kroos said has never been equalled in any other period or any other country.
 The great growth in high school attendance is regarded as an indication that increasing number of children from the lower ecoonmic levels taking advantage of the opportunities offered for education beyond the grade school stage. Per haps this movement has been promoted by two factors Cities towns and counties everywhere have strained themselves to offer high school facilities to every child within their borders That was not true of the eighties and nineties of the last century. Grade schools were abundant but it almost as difficult to attend high schools in those days as it is to go to universities today.
 High schools then were largely confined to inn parting some knowledge of the three Rs, languages, specializing in Greek and Latin, and modern foreign languages to lesser extent. High school education less formal apd academic. Practical arts had no place in their curricula, and many boys and girls who had to fit themselves to earn
 velihoods didn't have the time to waste, or thought they didn't which amounts to the same thing, on academic studies.
 That has all been changed in the modern educa- tional system pr. Kroos shows that ten times as many studies open to pupils in high school in 1892 there in 1890 There is a largely increased number of trade schools, development of continuation schools. evening and summer schools in the modern high school program
 The United States has a wonderful public school system It is unique and strictly American. It offers the youth of the nation greater opor- tunity to acquire the fundamentals of education that has never been given by any other country, and is as available the poorest to the richest

The Wheel of Progress.
(Cordova Times.)

Being proud of Cordova is of the greatest elements in it's upbuildng, and expression of constructive thought by it's citizens through organi zation effort brings perhaps the most favorable and satisfactory returns Furtherng of city building in all it's phases and business protecting movements can only be successfully taken of through or ganization effort if expect to achieve the result most favorable to our city.
 There should be argument against our ambi- tion to have the best community organization in this part of the Territory, in as much as we also desire the best community itself, because it will then be the driving power which devotes every pound of effort generated by individual opinion and directed by the associated business brains, to the general prosperity of the community.
 The Chamber of Commerce sponsors every move ment for the progress of Cordova.
 It has in mind a splendid constructive movement for a full years work.
 It stands as finely organized force ready at a moments notice to start the machinery of progress for Cordova.
 It offers to the community the valuable ex- lperence of business men who have been taught the best thing to do, under varying circumstances
 The Chamber of Commerce is the great promoter of progress in community life
 In enlargng the trade territory.
 Protecting the community from fraudulent and untruthful advertisers.
 Closing the door against undesirable solicitors.
 Eliminating jealousies and promoting civic ideals.
 In doing those things necessary to make Cor dova bigger, better town in which to live and do business

Prohibition advocate ana defender to make. It doesn't square at all with the strenuous efforts made by Dry organizations and Dry leaders in past political history to have arid blanks written into the platforms adopted quadriennially by both of the big political parties. If its worth the paper on which it is written and nothing more why all this fuss about wet and dry blanks that the Pro- hibitionists have made since the Eighteenth Amend ment became part of the fundamental law of the land? The Clip Sheet position is ingenious and amusing but hardly impressive for either logic or reason.

DRY ENGENUITY.

The latest issue of the Clip Sheet, publicity is sued by the Board of Temperance, Prohibition ane Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church declares
 wet declaration in national political party platform is worth the paper which it is written and nothing more.
 It is not legally binding and it has moral authority, for the simple reason that party convention strays far beyond it's sphere of representation in declaring itself upon question which is matter of con- science.
 This is rather naive statement for this

ert.
 It was some time before Ander- son spoke again "Is # too early for lunch?"
 "No, I'm rather hungry"
 It was not the truth, but she was so used to voicing untrue platitudes.
 She seemed to grow suddenly aware of Andersons silence and she reused herself to talk to him. You didn't have much oppor- tunity to speak to CaSs"
 "No-it doesn't matter, I know where I can find him later on"
 She said with attempted inter est. T often wonder why you two are such friends" H
 Anderson smiled. I've often wondered myself we've known each other a great many years; perhaps that's the explanation.
 "Is it? I shouldn't think so. There are lots of people I have known all my life and still can not tolerate"
 But your life has not been half the length of mine" he reminded her whimsically. y
 She sighed. Sometimes I feel as old as Methuselah."
 "Only when your head aches and you want your lunch" he answer ed. T have sure your head does ache, Sondra"
 "Ooughtn't I to be the best judge of that?" she demanded a little querrulOusly.
 T beg your pardon"
 She was conscious of a faint un- easiness. John seemed different somewhat this morning almost like a stranger-or was it that she herself was so vitally changed?" Copyright 1882, by Ruby M. Ayers)

and he sat has horse badly. He wore rather loud check rid ing brooches and brown coat with leather collar; his close cropped head was hatless, and he smoked an enormous cigar.
 IA man who must have been on the wrong side of fifty, he had a chnr:lbic face and the smile of a boy.
 Everybody who knew Cass loved hirrl, and he was John Andersons greatest friend. a|f
 Nobody quite knew why, for Cass was in a perpetual state of being broke, and he and Anderson had not s~ though or taste in common, aparI from their mutual affec- ton. ,---,- .,..-- | Unkind people said that Cass lived on his friends bounty, but it ! was rot the case. Cass had never been known to take a shilling from John Anderson, and Ander- son knew better than to offer it. How he lived and kept up the appearance he did was mystery. There were fantastic stories of a back room in some shabby street where Cass slept and ate and had his being, but nobody had ever visited him there, nobody was in an exact position to verify the stores, and Cass kept his own counsel.
 Whenever he appeared in public he was smart and well groomed. If q trifle loud in his choice of clothes he gambled recklessly when he had anything to gamble with, ! and enjoyed life no matter what ] it offered him, good or bad, cheer lfully robbing Peter to pay Paul His real name was Stephen Cas- sidy, but he was known to every one aG Cass, and even his enemies credited him with being the own- CT of the kindest heart and the most tolerant soul in the world. Soadre liked him, though she did not know why-and she trust ed him, too.
 Well, fairlady-and how have you managed to drag John out at this early hour of the morning?" he demanded, with his boys smile. Anderson answered. for her. We've been down to see young Merriman off"
 "Oh!-so he's really gone, has he?" Cass raised his brows. ''Nev- CT thought he would somehow" he said thoughtfully.
 Why not?" Anderson asked. there was a sharp note in his voice
 Cass shrugged his padded shoul- ders.
 Don't know, dear boy-can't ex- plain-never can explain anything. I just though it, that's all. Grand morning, isn't it?"
 He addressed Sondra, but she seemed unaware of it and Cass filled in the following silence with a little snatch of song
 He told her that he loved her, but, oll-how he Hed!"
 "Oh, how he lied Oh, how he hed!. =. He broke off as sudden ly as he had commenced to say: By Jove,-that girls got a fine figure. =. Excuse me, it worth, following"
 And he had trotted off again before either of them could speak, riding about as badly as a man can ride.
 Sondra laughed as she looked af- ter him.
 T never knew anyone so per fectly cheerful" she said.
 Hell break his neck before he's done, Anderson answered.
 He looked down at her.
 "Well-shall we go on?"
 "Yes."
 Sondra closed her eyes, grateful ly conscious of the sun upon her face.
 Hec body felt so cold, as if the return of emotion that had swept over her during the last few hours had taken all her vitality and bod fly warmth from it.
 She could not think, was not even conscious of pain; it was just as if something vital had forsak- en her, leaving her empty and in-

 Can I give up lift, Miss Kent2"
 She started and turned
 Thank you"
 Anderson spoke beside her.
 Mss Kent is coming with me-
 Sondra walked by his side from the long, fast-emptying pier
 She felt as if she had to force her feet to move-first one and then the other-one, two-one, two
 Outside, Anderson took her arm.
 Where shall we go, Sondra?"
 "AayWhere-I haven't anywhere particular to go.
 Would you care to drive around, and then lunch with me?"
 Thank you"
 Anything would be better than going back to Flora's, or being left alone.
 She leaned back in AnderSon's big car with a sudden sense of bodily weakness.
 It was all over-Mark had gone. Somehow until the very last she had though that something would happen to keep him with her. A silly thought-for what could hap pen. 4s
 Do you think Merriman is keen about the job?" Anderson asked.
 "Yes. . oh, yes, think so. He is very lucky to have got it."
 T think he'll do well. I hope se.''
 The big car rolled on its way Anderson turned into the park he was driving himself and per haps it was the traffic that en- grossed his attention and kept him from looking at Sondra.
 He said presently. T rang you up last night, but Mrs. Lomax told mase you were away
 "Yes. It was an effort to re- member what she had told Flora. "Yes, I stayed the night with Beatrice. I came up this morn ing"
 T see. And how is Beatrice?"
 Very well'
 They were driving through the park now. Anderson drew the big two-seater to one side of the drive way and stopped the engine. q wanted to see Cass if he is any where about"
 Sondra reused herself and look ed round.
 "He rides every morning, does nt ne?p she said vaguely.
 AS a rule, I believe"
 Why did you ring up last night" she asked. She was not interested, but it was something to say
 "Only to tell you that I was writing to you. However, as you were not there, I didn't post the letter. I've got it with me"
 She raised her eyes to his face.
 "A letter." she asked.
 "Well-yes." He took an envel- ope from his pocket and laid it on her lap. Don't open it now. Later on will do."
 "Very well,' Sondra said slowly. but she left the letter disregard ed; she knew well enough what were it's contents. Here is Cass," she said abrupt ly.
 A young man on horseback came trotting up to them. Hello, you two!" He saluted in mock military fashion. He was quaint looking man,
