" Ho suggests that tlio fom.ilo eacheis ot the country should bo united. There nro neatly two hundred .housaud of them in thonorthein btates , ind in the whole country not fur shot t of quniter of a million. They would vicld a powerful influence if the wotked ogother for common airas. It is unquestionable that one ol the ro- 'oims most ossontinl to the inipiovomoitt of Iho public school system of tlild coun- ry is greater attention lo the propira- , ion and tiulning of teachers. Undoubt edly there lias been projjicss made in this particular , and that quite goner- xlly , at leibt in the older tales. Tlio qualifications demanded of n teacher are much higher lull wore required a quaitor of a cen tury ago , but otory ono at all familiar with the subject will admit that there s still largo room for improvement. There Is perhaps not a city in the coun- tiy whoso list of educators would not bo very greatly icduced If tlioy were put .otho testapiilled to succesaful teachers in Germany , and while itmaybosaid tb.it such thorough professional training .is the German tcaohers must receive is not nccossiry hero , it is cer tainly deniable to approximate it moro closely than wo do at present. And there Is no reisouwhy bhls may not be done without the loss ol any of these fentuios inhioh \ \ wo are confessedly superior to the Germans. The impiovomoiit and dotation of the professionil spirit among our teachers is certainly not iiicomintiblo with the nuintenanco of all these conditions noted us OKcelloncos distinguishing the schools of America above these of Goi- many. There would not necessarily Iw less of "heart feeling" in thomanngo- niontof our pupils because of the batter and higher training of teachers ; there should rather bo more of that feeling , nnd wo should naturally expect sis to morals and munnois tlio best icsults from tlio most highlj- trained educators. "When it is remem bered that in this country the profession of leaching commands a better rewind than in any ether country , and that there Is almost unlimited opportunity for the thoioughly trained oduditor , there is no excuse ) for tolerating1 a low standard of qualifications in our schools and no good iciison why vo aliould long continue behind any ether country In the charactorof the piofessional train ing of our te acheis. co-oi'//i !

A solution of the industrial prob- em Which is steadily pushing , o tlio front Is that of par ticipation vtllh the possibilities of deferred co-operation. Uegauled stilctlj from tie point of view of eo op erative ptoduition , says this writer , there Is nothing to compare in magnifi cence \ \ iththetesultswhich it has thus ar obtained.

NOT Iho assertion undo by the Omaha Sopubllcun that the nomination of Mr. D. lUclnrds assures tlio adoption of tbo prohibition amendment is an unwar ranted conclusion and tends to place Mr. Blchards In a false Jig-lit before the people of this state , It creates the im pression that ho is a prohibitionist and will use all his influence to promote the adoption of the prohibition amendment. Mr. Richards is a tempoiato man , but ho is not a prohibitionist and has never committed himself to the support of prohibition. In Uowof the division in the republican ranks on tlio piohibltion issue Mr. Ilicliards has refrained from piessing his vlowsas to the propriety of amending our constitution and lopeiling our high licoiho and local option laws , I3ut that does not make him u prohibi tionist.

After seven weeks of rustling for resi dents , the census iccounts of "Denver and Kansas City have been completed and the result bemi-oftloially mndo public , The figuios ate interesting by way of comparibon. When the first summary of tbo popu lation of Kansas City was mace known a ware of indignation swept the town The work of tlio onuincuitora was de nounced as u bare-faced fiaud aii out rage on the people , \iho had nil along claimed for the town a popu lation ranging fioni ono hundred and seventy-five thousand to a quarter of a million. It was not possible for the population to fall away to ono hundred nnd thirty odd thousand , and a vigorous demand was made for n , recount. The demand uns granted , but tlio losult was a failure Even with the assistance of the Commeieial club the enumerators werounnblo to confirm the original lists by two thousand names. The falling oil was satisfactorily explained to Superin tendent Porter , who , in a letter to Secictury Noble , recommends the first count , excepting nine hun dred bogus mamcs , bo allowed to stand. Kansas City's population will In round numbers foot up on the olli- clul returns ono bundled and tlilrty- three thousand , or seventeen huudied loss than Omaha , The flist count in Denver netted ono hundred and so\ontoon \ thousand , but , like Kansas City , a recount was had and the city and suburbs thoioughly scouted for residents or transients.
