The Wide Tire Camnalnn.
Not only do wide tires save the pave
ments, but they are also a saving on
1-eaMs of burden. The Missouri (Jood
JCoads Association at Its recent conven
tion in Columbia declared In favor of
wide tires, prof. II. J. W aters, dean of
the State Agricultural College, added
to the tabulated results of the tests
made letween narrow and wide tired
wagons the following:
"By using the wide tires an average
of fifty-three pounds draught is mi red,
A horse Is computed to exert a pull of
l.Vi pounds for ten hours, traveling at
the rate of two and one half miles per
hour. On this basis the wide tires save
slightly more than one-third of the ex
ertion of the horse."
The experiments with heavy wagons
from which the conclusions of Prof.
Waters were readied formed the most
interesting part of (he proceedings of
the convention, and the results of all
the tests were carefully noted. In ev
ery test It was demonstrated that the
wide tire lessens the labor of the horse
nud Is lu other ways far superior to
the narrow tire, which is the most com
monly used. l'.loomingtoti till.) Pnnta

A very wise philosopher has observed
that the great bulk of the people must
always support the mass of the popula
tion. The people pay for everything, the
people have. The public pays for the
railroads and the expense of running
them. If the railroads were only half
as good and could only haul half as
Hindi it would cost the people twice as
much to tide or ship over them.
It is fortunate for the people that
railroads are conducted in an organized
business-like way. If the opioncnts to
Improved roads hail their way the rail
road would be neither profitable nor
pleasant.
The people of a community are t'.e
ones vitally Interested in the roads of
that community.
If the farmers of cadi tow nship were
to get together and mutually agree that
they would go about It In an organized
way to build and maintain a system of
good roads their sum of happiness
would be Increased.
Since the people pay for the roads
why not have those that are cheapest
and most pleasant the best ones.
In Holland, where they have the best
roads In the world. It Is said that a
farmer will haul, with a team of large
dogs, as heavy a load as can be drawn
over a bad road with a team of horses.
This reminds us how dog-gone bad our
roads are.
This country has 1,300,000 miles of
common roads. This would encircle the
globe fifty times, or go to the moon
more than live times. Hut If most of
them would go there Just once and not
come back, earth would be Just alxiut
as happy.

On one occasion I was summoned at
night In Impetuous hnste to hear this
man's story of the sudden loss of the
senses of taste and smell, and Indeed of
general sensation. I found him sitting
lsjit upright in an armchair, his rel
hair standing on end, his face Hushed
with rage, and his mouth pouring out
volleys of curses.
The spectacle was an ludicrous as It
was Had, though the innu's poor wife
was In a coudltlon of terror. I know
him well enough to believe that it wax
"all cry and no work," a pretence to
frighten his wife for some fancied In
attention or neglect. I knew, also, that
bis love of deception was so great that
he would submit to torture rather than
Hi know ledge his deception.

1. Self-activity on the part of the
pupil in seeing, thinking aud mustering
things tor himself.
2. Vigor and Intensity of mental ef
fort so as to establish habits of couceu
tratlou and of strength, avoiding care
lessness, sleepiness and general laxity
8. A proper use of a child's previous
knowledge us he advances into the
new lessons.
4. All the knowledge acquired by a
child should lie based upon concrete
and real objects of thought.
The history of education since Co-
meulus' time emphasizes, over and
over again, the necessity or sense
training and the basing of all knowl
edge upon an experience with real
things. There is perpetual danger in
all schools of knowledge becoming
simply verbal, a pure memory drill.
5. Thoroughness of knowledge. The
knowledge gained by the children In
the schools should be thoroughly mas
tered, and one of the most Important
things for the teacher to do lu a red
tatlou is to give such tests, reviews and
drills as shall bring about a conscious
mastery of the principles of a subject
and the ability to apply them under
variety of forms.
6. School children not only need to
master the school sciences theoretical
ly and In the text book form, but they
need to learn how to use knowledge in
the practical affairs of life. The school
cannot undertake the whole of this
duty, and yet It must teach children
how to use their knowledge: how to
bring school Information Into relation
with life, with real experience in the
world.
7. in some studies the children are
to learn not so much science as arts,
such as reading and writing. They
are to form habits In reading and writ
Ing which will be of the utmost value
to them In school and lu life.
8. As children move along through
the school grades they should liecomc
conscious more and more of the scien
tific order and system that prevail in
studies. There Is a scientific frame
work In every study. The principal
fundamental principles, which give
unity and correction to the parts of a
Htudy, as In grammar or geography,
should be seen in their importance.
As children advance In their studies
they nre capable of a better grasp of
knowledge In Its scientific form.
t). Knowledge should be so. selected
and presented to children thnt It will
awaken a natural and spontaneous In
terest. There may indeed be many se
vere tasks and knotty problems to be
worked out. but even these may often
times contribute to a growing and
deepening interest.
10. Children should be trained In
school to think and reason, to exercise
their own judgment, to be Independ
ent, self-reliant In thought and deed.
Their minds are not so much to be
molded as to be developed lu every
proper direction.
These are at least a few of the simple
requirements w hich most teachers will
agree to. The Pacific KiUicatlonal

A Criticism by Dr. Harris.
In nn article on "Flemcntnry Kduca
lloti," contributed to the May North
American Review, Dr. William T. Har
ris tells the following about what he
calls pedagogy craze for novelty.
While the old education In Its exclu
sive devotion to will-training has
slighted the Intellect nud the heart (or
feelings), the new education moves
likewise toward nn extreme ns bad, or
worse. It slights direct will-culture
and tends to exaggerate Impulse and
Inclination or Interest. An educational
psychology that degrades will to de
sire must perforce construct nn elabor
ate system for the purpose of devel
oping moral Interests and desires.
This, however, does not quite succeed
until the old doctrine of self-sacrifice
for the sake of the good Is reached.
"Our wills are ours to make them
thine."
The philosophy of the liliagnvail
Glta holds that the goal of culture Is
to annihilate all Interest and attain ab
solute Indifference; this Is adopted by
Buddhism In the doctrine of Nirvana.
Indian renunciation reaches the denial
of selfhood, while the Christian doc
trine of renunciation reaches only to
the denial of selfishness and the adop
tion of altruistic Interests. However
this may be, the pedagogic Impulse to
create devices for awakening the Inter
est of the pupil becomes sometimes n
craze for novelty. Change at any price
and change of any kind Is clamored
for. It Is n trite saying that change Is
not progress. It Is more apt to bo
movement In a circle, or even retro
gression. An amusing example was
lately furnished In educational circles.

the advocates of educntlonnl reform,

one-half of the school children In the
United Rtates are still taught, or
rather allowed, to memorize their text
books by this method! The subcom

The Wisconsin State Hoard of Health
makes the following suggestions to the
county superintendents of that State,
to the end that the public schools may
be placed In good sanitary condition:
1. To clean and perfect all sources
of water supply of their own, to furnish
such.
2. In the absence of a better system,
to prepare the windows and transoms,
so that ventilation can be had without
causing drafts, and that all schools In
troduce Improved ventilating systems
as soon as possible.
3. To place buildings in good repair,
with tight floors, good roofs and under
pinnings. 4. To see that the grounds do not per
mit standing water, aud to prepare
gravel or board walks to keep the
children's feet out of the mud.
o. Suitable closets for each of the
sexes to be provided with every school
house. They should be situated so as
to secure privacy, be kept iu good re
pair and cleaned aud disinfected at
least twice a month.
U. the rooms should be so warmed
as to maintain an even temperature.
auu an to be Uept comfortable; stoves
and furniture should be safe and In
good order.
7. Itooms should not be over-crowded;
not less than fifteen square feet of
floor space and 215 cubic feet of air
space should ever be allowed to each
pupil.
8. Blackboards should not be placed
between windows; the surface should
be dead black, not glossy.
11. The light should, if possible, be
admitted from the rear, or rear and
left of the pupil never from the front.
10. Desksaudsentaof different heights
should be furnished to suit the size and
age of pupils.
Hhonld Know the Best Literature.
This paper has at all times endeav
ored to Impress upon its readers the
belief that a teacher should be an tin
tiring student of pedagogy lu all Its
phases. At the same time we believi
that too much stress cannot be laid
upon the fact that the teacher should
not iiuike the mistake of allowing his
professional studies to absorb all his

himself to pedagogy can hope to be

writer has said. While it cannot be di
nieil that there is a cultural side to
pedagogical studies, especially In the
Hue of the history and the philosophy
of education, the teacher cannot be the
embodiment, of culture iu Its highest
forms unless ho give no small degree of
his energy to the study of literature.
Literature Is specliically and distinct
ively life, nud it Is for this reason that
we would have every teacher Intimately
acquainted with the best literature of
all ages. The teacher who knows sym

world than the teacher who contents
himself with mere information. He Is

his pupils both lu and out of the school

Save Time.
Learn to do tilings in the most direct
way, In tlio way that takes the least
work. If an Interest problem can be
solved by writing twenty figures, then
the method that requires twenty-five
figures Is wrong, even If It does "get
the answer." A man might go from
Chicago to New York by way of Alassm
and finally reach his destination, but It
would not be the right way to go unless
sight seeing Is his object Instead of
business. It It Is possible to save time

means extra time, and that this extra
time costs extra money. Exchange.
Need of Compntalon,
In sohool relations there Is need of
some compulsion. Of course many
cases of disorder could be checked
without this aid, If the teacher were
more perfect. Still he Is associated
with imperfect pupils and Imperfect
appliances. This being the ease, he
would hardly fee at home If he had
reached anything like approximate per
fection. Notwithstanding he knows
that he has shortcomings, he ought to
hold his pupils to reasonable require
ments. Only In this way can a school
be kept In a vigorous working condi

into dull blue grays. The stone shades

who do not like to go into black, and
w ho yet prefer dark cloths. Mack for
facings or braidings combines with
these stone grays with excellent effect.
Gray is not relegated exclusively
to the elderly or middle-aged, nor to
dresses that are simple and domestic.
Particularly handsome and dressy cos
tumes are seen in this shade, and two
of them have been chosen for these

that tops it. The skirt's material is
lavender figured silk, and it lias two
panels of accordion pleated mauve silk
poplin. Prom this latter material the
bodice Is made. It has a wide Louis
XV. vest of guipure over lavender sat

material is shirred several times on
