POINTED VIEWS OF A BUSINESS MAN

Educational Note.
President Korgan of the First National
bank of Chicago has added his testimony to
that of other leading Chleagoans In regard
to the shortcomings of our public schools
In teaching the rudiments of a practical
business education. In his address before
the graduating class o Lako Forest unl-.
verslty, reports the Chicago Tribune, hd
outlined tho educational qualifications
which he- regards as most helpful In attain
ing a successful business career. They are
few And simple!
1. To be able to write a good leglblo hand;
to make good figures knd to place them
correctly the units below tho units, tho
tens below the tens, and so on.
2. To bo able to add, subtract and multi
ply rapidly and accurately.
3. To bo able to express yourself clearly,
briefly and grammatically In a letter and to
pell the words correctly.
Elementary as these qualifications arc,
Mr. Forgan says the young men who possess
them arc rare. Though ho has taken many
youths Into business, ho says ho can remem
ber s'carcely one who could bo relied upon
to do the simple things Just enumerated.
Many of them were graduates of high
schools, yet thoy could not always wrlto
legibly, figure accurately or spell correctly.
Perhaps they could wrlto a thesis on
mythology, .physiology or biology, but they
had not mastered tho first rudiments of tho
business In which thoy hoped to make a
livelihood. Mr. Forgan says there must bo
something wrong with a school system that
produces these results nnd his belief Is
shared by nearly every successful business
man who employs young men and women.
The simple accomplishments named by
the banker aro essential elements In tho
success about which so much Is said In
these days. Men have mado fortunes with
out knowing how to spell or write correctly,
but they have dono It only because thoy
had an extraordinary share of what Mr.
Korgan calls "grip and grit." Ignoranco
In the "three Its" Is always ahandlcap nnd
no amount of other knowledge crammed
Into the heads qt public school pupils cat!
compensate for It. In so far as our schools
fall to teach .the pupils to write, cipher and
apell correctly they are falling short of
success. Teachers, parcnts'and children
alike should sco to It that these things aro
mastered before going on to any of the fads
and ornamental studies.
Knil of .School Darn.
Once agatn tho world Is laughing at the
old Jokes about college graduates and their
supposed confidence in their ability to set
right whatever is wrong In the great human
scheme. Thero Is, of courso, no harm In
this, observes the Indianapolis News, and
It la even possible that the satire of which
the young people are made, the victims may
havo a sobering and humbling effect. Yet
the other side of the question ought not
to be overlooked. Doubtless many .college
graduates face tho world with a .feeling not
far removed from fear. They know that
they have succeeded In the'.r academic
work, but they also know that no small
part of their success has been due to the
(act that tholr tasks wcro prescribed) for1
them, 'and that they .have boen performed
under a wise aud kindly guidance and-, re
straint. And they can not help wondering
I how they will faro when that guidance
and restraint nre removed and .they are
their own masters. This point, of view
Is developed with aomethlng closo akin to
, pathos by Donald Q. Mitchell In one of
his most charming and least known stories.
The late Dr. Holmes, too, saw tho more
solemn side of the situation. Tho specu
lations roused In his mind by a commence
ment described by him though tinged with
his kindly humor are In themselves not
humorous at all. He wondered how tlin
young "colts" would acquit themselves In
the "alarhing sweepstakes" of sixty years,
and the thought Is one that must bo present
in the minds of many of the young "colts"
themselves. Thus a commencement Is
really a solemn affair. Fortunately, even
the humorists have no bitterness' la them.
And though their fun Is sometimes, of
rather a stupid sort, it Is meant in good
part, and harms no one. But there Is still
another point In view. Even If we admit
that youthful elf-confldence is a danger
ous quality, It Is still to be remembered
that actual, practical Ufo is a sovereign
cure for it, and further, that the cure la
sometimes overdone. Tho days of com
promise and cowardice come all too quickly,
and happy Is the man on whom thoy do
not have a chilling, and blighting effect.
The high Ideals, the romantic view of life,
the uncompromising devotion to principle,
the noblo aspiration, nnd the generous en
thusiasm who would rob tho commence
ment day orators of these priceless pos
sessions? Though we may smile nt over
enthusiasm, and may doplore an occasional
manifestation of pomposity, wo shall also
have a feeling of sadness at the thought
of the hardening and deadening effect that
contact with life and the world Is almost
certain to have on the young men.
Glorious A Be for Onr Youth.
"Never before havo institutions of learn
ing been so patronized, so cherished and so
encouraged," says the Baltimore American.
"The best Is drawn to their service; mil
lionaires are making big gifts to extend
their uphero of usefulness ami to enable
them to carry on their work with greater
advantages and thoroughness. Common
school systems are admittedly among the
prominent Issues of dally government, and
even the fads and extravaganco Into which
educational theories fall show the Im
portance of education among the questions
of the age.
"The graduate of thu present tlmo has In
, deed, cause for congratulation, not only In
the wealth of learning offered, but In the
comparative case of Its acquirement and the
frequency of opportunity. It Is true that
all real knowlcdgo can bo obtained only by
mental labor, such sb has been required
from the human brain In all ages. Ilut,
then, outelde conditions havo boen made
so easy, difficulties have been destroyed or
smoothed, facilities Increased, cost lessened
and the whole educational life simplified.
Apparatus that would havo been beyond tho
teach of the best Is now the possession of
many; discoveries and inventions, obtained
by tho thought and toll of year, arc com
mon property; in fact the acquisition of the
knowledge that took our forefathers so
many wearisome years, through many al
most Insuperable difficulties. Is now limited
msrely by the capability or the Industry of
the Individual student. ,
"This Is a glorious age with glorious op
portunities, and for none so much as the
young' men and women now going forth
Into the world equipped, s far' as the
schools can equip them, for the battle with
life. If they reallie this they have taken
the first step toward the practical use of
education, It Is natural to prize that most
which has cost us the most, hut the proper
' appreciation of what they have gained will
prevent their careless use of a treasure
which It has been the constant study of the
spirit of the age to make easy to their
grasp. Certainly the future- of our young-
men and women graduates Is s bright as
human power can make lt.'r
Arc I.IiiiKh of Slntl-.
Dr. William T. Harris, Government com
mlesloncr of education, In discussing fea
tures of our educational systems recently,
showed himself lu henrty sympathy with
those who favor a reduction In tho length
of college courses. Dr. Harris would con
sider the child when It takes Its. first halt
ing steps In systematic Instruction, and
even beforo. Ho would regard It as a
great Improvement If the public school
authorities would limit the 'working hours
of children 8 years of ago and under to
threo- hours a day. This would bo a ma
terial saving In Instruction and better for
the child If made a -universal rule. Ho
declares that he has seen frequent cases
of Injurious results from keeping children
In school for long sessions at early ages,
and one of these results Is arrested devel
opment showing Itself In. stunted growth.
When superintendent of schools In St. Louis
he kept a careful record of the time It
took children to get through the first year's
work. He found that those who took two
or three years to get through that year's
work were started at an early age, gen
erally about C years. They were heavy
and stupid and were passed by chltdren
who had a later start, but who began when
6 or 7 years of age.
Ho holds that the east Is more at fault
than the west In sending children to school
too early. "In Boston they tooV them Into
ho. schoolroom at 4, and throughout the
state oi Massachusetts, in I'nuaiieipnia,
Providence and other cities that Is the age
at which they are received. No children
under 7 are admitted to the public
schools of St. Louis, and they are refused
admission to the kindergartens there until
they are 5 years of ago." There Is a law
In Missouri fixing that minimum limit, and
ho believes It would bo a wise provision If
other states had similar statutes. Further
more,, he would not favor laying so much
stress upon tho regular attendance of kin
dergarten pupils. His plan for a normal
scale of educational progress Is something
like this; Admittance to tho kindergarten
nt 6 or 6, to thu primary at 7 and to tho
grammar school nt 11. At 15 years tho
pupil has finished that course and Is ready
for tho high school. Tha avcrago of tho
high school graduates In tho United States
Is 18 years and 6 months, which Is about
the right age for entrance to college.
The college courso he would reduco by a
year nnd tho professional course by as
much, thus saving a couple of years to the
young man In entering upon his career
without, as be believes, Impairing his
equipment. "It may not bo easy to seo
how he can obtain tho samo results by tho
shorter as by the longer period of study,"
says tho Boston Transcript, "but ho would
probably explain It by his plan of starting
right and pursuing a right system. As he
Is one of the most progressive educational
exports In the country, his views must havo
great weight."

Suitable- and ftcasonntile Foods
Mldaammer.
Much of the discomfort of the excessive
heat of summer might be aolded. or at
least greatly lessened, If one would study
more carefully tho component parts of our
foods and know that food substances be
longing to the samo class may vary In ef
fect according to tho climate and season.
While we must preserve a relative propor
tion of the carbonates and nitrates wq
should know that It Is necessary to lessen
the amount of heat and force in the body In
hot weather. Through disuse or abuse wo
lack the animal instinct that, In tho lower
order of beings, enables them to choose
that which Is good for them. Nature makes
a valiant effort to teach us how to live by
surrounding, us with tho suitable and sea
sonable foods that contain tho necessary
elements for perfect nutrition and health
lean meats, green, fresh vegetables and
fruits which should 'form the greater part
of the family bills of faro at this season.
Much of the housewife's energy and
strength Is wasted In the preparation of
rich and heavy foods which are utterly un
sulted for hot weather and are not relished
as are tho lighter foods, which are tempt
ing and healthful and require less lobor and
time. The simpler dishes require but a few
minutes to prepare and do not tax the pa
tience or strength and leave the housewife
time to "cool off and look pleasant" before
she must presont herself at the head of, the
table. She should have time to forget the
fatigue occasioned by (he slight exercise of
preparing the meal so as to be able to enjoy
the fruits of her labors with the rest of her
family.
Carbonaceous Foods In Summer.
In cold climates nature provides fat and
starch In great abundance to furnish (be
carbonates, the heat producers; while In
the warm climates bodily beat and force
are supplied by starch and sugar.
Grain, especially corn that Is grown in
the northern states and Canada, has a very
much greater percentage of oil than corn
grown In the south, and It will be noticed
that animals fed oaaortttra eoranave
much more adipose covering than the same
species In warm climates.
Ripe fruits and green vegetables havo
mostly surar for their carbonates, while
they furnish as well gluten and albumen
for muscular power,
Wo find In climates where the tempera
turo Is mild throughout the year a much
greater abundance of succulent fruits and
vegetables whoso carbonates consist almost
entirely of sugar. These foods may be
grown through tho greater part of tho year,
though they vary somewhat according to
tho seaeon.
In the northern climate wo will notice
that tho most succulent vegetables and
fruits come In the warmest part of the
season with fish and leaner meats In abund
ancc, thus very clearly demonstrating that
vegetables, fruits and grains, which with
the exception of northern corn, are equal to
lean meat, aro best adapted to a warm
weather diet. The amount of starchy foods
should be reduced In hot weather, as It Is
clear that much of the discomfort of the
body Is produced by a needless supply of
heat-producing foods. The sugar In the
fruit combined with the blood-cooling acids
and a light oil used only with green salad
herbs Is quite sufficient to keep up the
amount of bodily fire required In hot
weather. Avoid fat meats, an excess of
butter or cream and much rich pastry and
you will not only find tho hottest days quite
endurable, but escapo many of the diseases
peculiar to summer and Injudicious selec
tion of foods,
Vcgctulilm In Excess.
Sickness may be produced by Irregular
and excessive use of fruits and vegetables,
but there is no danger when, they aro catou
in proper amount and regularly.
Children are, as a rule, exceedingly fond
of fresh fruits and green vegetables, and
If they arc allowed tho free and prudent
uso of wholesome fruits and vegetables they
will not rat them In excess. The greatest
danger lies In eating these foods when not
In proper condlttou. Select only thoso that
are properly crown and ripened and of tho
freshest, otherwise they will cxclto dis
ease. Novcr consider perishable foods
cheap which aro not strictly fresh and
sound.
IlrenUfnut Cereals.
Tho value of cereal foods, especially the
wheat grain, Is not thoroughly appreciated
In making out our summer bills of fare.
Wheat gtves us a combination of starch,
gluten and albumen In a form which is well
suited tor hot weather.
Whllo cereal foods must have a very
thorough cooking to make them digestible,
this does not entail the labor and discom
fort of meat cooking, and a dish of cereal
and fruit Is certnlqly more Inviting to
Jaded appetites on a hot morning than a
dish of meat, while It tills all tho require
ments which tho meat would satisfy. A
very pretty as well as palatable way to
serve cereals In hot weather Is to cook It
tha night beforo and servo It Ice cold, hav
ing It set In llttlo Individual molds. Turn
these .forms out and sorvo with fresh fruit
heaped around them. Very often children
who seem to havo a distaste for cereals can
be Induced to cat them It served In this
manner, as there Is a decided difference
In flavor between tho hot and cold cereals,
A little In the way of a garnish will also
add greatly to tho attractiveness as well as
"goodness" of .the dish. Left-over cereal
should never be thrown away, as It can bo
added to a fresh supply and reheated or
made Into muffins, pancakes or a nice little
dessert.
Boiled Wholo Wheat This Is a method of
cooking tho wholo wheat grain which has
been almost lost sight of slnco our grand
mothors' tlmo. The wholo wheat grain
was used, selecting the now If possible.
This was washed through sevoral waters
and cokked llko rice. In a large quantity
of water until tender. Jt was then drained
and In tho .morning it destredrhot It was
steamed over "a kettle of hot water or In
tho doubto boiler for about half an hour
and served with stewed fruit, milk or
cream. '
Somersetshire Furmenty To a pint of
ready-boiled wheat put by degrees oi I quart
of milk, breaking i up the Jelly; then add
two ounces of picked currants; stir and
cook In a double boiler until currants aro

little grated nutmeg nnd two tablespoon

ARDMORE. I. T., June IS. In the United

suit grew out of the closing of several
stores c-c non-cltlscns for refusing to pay
the 1 per cent tribal tax. District Attorney
P. L. Soper spoke In behalf of the govern
ment, contending that, notwithstanding tho

rights of American citizenship upon the
Indians, the Indians still have the right to
Impose taxes upon merchants In the terri
