The Western Iowa Poultry , Farm and Gar

December H , and to continue six days. The
exhibition given last year was such a suc

stockholders. On this account they have
enlarged upon their Ideas , and will Include
with their neu show that of the Omaha

the Southwestern Iowa Horticultural so-
cley. The entire niseman block will he
utilized , compilstng the thrco floors , thus
making a capacity for ttso ciiual to that of

quartern for several dajg. When ho gets
ready to retire to the obscurity of his farm
south of Maimwa bo will have received some
leioons In temperance that should be pro

town with a load ot produce which ho ex
changed for n load of groceries. The stuff
was stolen from hla wagon while ho was
lingering In a hnloon. Ho endeavored to
oblltoMto the memory of his misfortune by
longer tarrying In the saloon. The police
ricked up hh half-famished team nt midnight
and sent It to n livery stable to bo cared
for About the Dame time Meyers was also
picked up and sent to the city jail to answer
to a chatgr } of Intoxication. On Saturday
he wan fined $10 CO , nnd to secure payment
of tlio fine ho loft hie te-am as security and

Trto body of an Indian was found lying
besldo the C'.khorn railroad tracks In the
vicinity of Forty-eighth and 1C streets iMt
evening. The remains were removed to
Brewer ft Sloan'o undertaking rooms , where
an examination showed that death had been
caused by being struck by a locomotive. The
head was almost entirely severed from the
body and besides this there were a number
of other serious woundD In the pockets of
the dead man wcro found an old , empty
pockctbook and a scrap of piper upon which
was written "Little Chief. " Jiuit when , or
how the accident occurred Is not known.
The body was cold and etlff when found , death
having evidently occurred some hours be
fore.

On Saturday and yesterday several Omaha
Indians were In the city begging and It Is
thought that this ono was In the party and
had started to walk homo along the track
alone. Coroner Burkct was notified and will
Investigate the case today.
The accident must have happened during
the afternoon , for Little- Chief and lily friend ,
Charlie Watklns , " were about the city dur
ing the forenoon trying to purchase lemon
extract w ginger extract. Very likely the
deud Indian succeeded In obtaining liquor
some place and was Intoxicated at the time
ho was struck.
ThereIs a camp of Omaha Indians about
a mlle nnd a half from Forty-eighth and
Q strccto and some of those In camp will be
sent for to Identify the remains.

Chief Smith of the fire department ex
pects that the city council will take some
action on 1 Is suggestion to employ minute
men at Its meeting this evening. The plan
Is to employ four c\tra men to sleep at the
fire halls at night who will be paid at the
rate o BO cents on hour for the first houi'a
work and 30 cents an hour for every ad
dition il horn. These men are also to re
ceive CO cents for every alarm responded
to. Possibly good men can be found who
will work under euch conditions , but taking
November as on Illustration , when only
three alarms were sent In , the minute men
would not earn enough to make It worth
their while.
With the present force It would bo 1m-
po ailblc , the chief says , to handle the ap-
piratus now In service during the winter
months , and the addition of font ! men Is an
absolute necessity.
In speaking of this matter jestcrday an
ex-city oflleial who has always taken a great
deal of Interest In municipal affairs , said
that the only plausible way out of the dif
ficulty would bo to take steps to have the
fire and water levy Increased from 3 mllla
to 0 or 7 mllla. With this Increase the
department could bo made much more ef
fective than It Is at the present time. Chief
Smith Is very anxious to have a hook and
ladder truck added to the present equip
ment , and this could bo done If the levy
was Increased. In order to obtain author
ity for making -such an Increase In the
levy It will bo necessary for an amend
ment to the charter to bo made by the
legislature this winter.

The police have so far been unable to as-
ceitaln where K. W. Woodson , alias Fuller ,
who Is held hero on suspicion , Is wanted.
Chief Brennan Is satisfied that the man
la a crook , but he cannot learn of any se
rious charge against htm. According to
Fuller's own statements , he Is too strong
to work and In giving an account of him
self admits that in the past flvacars he
has not worked more than five or six weeks.
The chief has written to several points In
Texas to find out It possible where Fuller
shot the man It Is claimed ho did , but an
swers have not yet been received. Fuller ad
mits having shot a man , but declines to ad
mit In what part of the state the crime was
committed. When arrested Fuller had In
his possession a forged check , and while
the police have positive evidence that the
check Is a forgery there Is no proof that
Fuller ever made any attempt to have It
cashed. Chief lireminn said yesterday that
unless ho learned today where the man was
wanted he would take him to the cars and

In the December Torum .thfv question
'How Shall the Child be Taught ? " la ills-
cursed at some length nnd In a suggestive
manner by Dr. J. M. Rice , who luis for
eomo years been engaged In an InvcsJ tlon
Into the methods and results ot the public
schools. The efforts of children fci the first
jcars ot their school work imAnt. ) t In
confessed , adequately rowanV- jj lfcesults.
What are the obstacles umjne'eou.i oUhey
to be overcome ? When ho ! S\.ca ) Tm study
ot tlio American educational Bstcm Dr.
Rico was Impressed with the Idea that the
chief obstacles were politics In school
boards , Incompetent supervision and Insuf
ficient preparation on the part of teachers.
These he still thlt'ks responsible for the In-
ellicicncy of many schools , but mature re
flection has led him to conclude that these
are but symptoms of a moro deeply hidden
disease the want of fixed convictions on
the part of educators as to n standard of
achievement nnd the length of tlmo the
avarago child must consume to attain It.
What Is to bo expected ot n well taught
child after a five-year course of schooling ?
Upon the answer to this simple but funda
mental question hardly any two educators
can bo brought to agree.
"In matters pertaining
conduct of the schools , our notiulis todaj1 , "
sijs Dr. Rice "are not much more definite
than they might have been a century- ago
Indeed , so crude are- they that no sooner da
wo dip beneath the surface in our Inqulilcs
than wo find ourselves surrounded by uttci
contusion The statements made on practi
cal questions , even among our leading edu
catora , are conflicting to the point of ab
surdity. And as there are no proofs to offer
PS to who Is right and who Is wrong , we are
left completely without a guide. Evcty-
thlng Is speculative ; nothing Is positive
'I think,1 'I bellevo' are the stcreotjpcd ex
pressions. 'I know' haa not jet been ad
mitted. Some say a one-jcar course In
technical grammar Is as good as a flvc-jcai
course , while others affirm that the results
will be just as good If technical grammar
bo entirely omitted from the elementary
course. As to spelling , there Is like diver
gence of opinion. Many educators wish the
child to give forty minutes dally to spelling ,
while others contend that five or ten min
utes will suffice. A third party will argue
that spelling lessons arc unnecessary , since
the child gets In reading and writing the
very exercise required to make him a good
speller. There is In fact no agiecmcnt as
to the proper treatment of the most elemen
tary subjects. The 'thrcfi R's' are not
taught by methods known to bo effective In
giving satisfactory results In a known
length of time. Nor Is , there any clear
definition of what Is meant by 'satisfactory
results "
What IB wanted before pedagogy can bo
recognized as a science , according to Dr.
Rico , Is an agreement aso. . certain "truths
In regard to educational processes , which ,
If Ignored by the teacher , will make him
fully as liable to prosecution for malprac
tice as the phjslclan who has bungled In
setting a bone. " Thcro must bo an accurate
Btandaid of measurement for educational re
sults , so that the teacher ; may know when

The annual meeting of the Block Hills
educational association was held In Lead
City recently. At the conclusion the cus
ternary resolutions wcro Introduced and
passed , among which were the following
paragraphs relating to the study of the En
glish language1
"That It Is the sense of this meeting that
literature In sufficient variety and extent
In whole selections rather than In frag
ments , should largely replace the ordinary
reading book In our schools , fresh pieces to
bo read for the pleasure of the thought and
all technical Instruction In oral expression
be confined to the ordinary reader.
"That wo are In hearty accord with the
suggestions made In the paper on 'English
In the High School , ' that reading , spelling
and EnglUh grammar should be Included
In the course of study In English ; also that
rhetoric should bo taught from a practical
standpoint with a view to making puplla
moro fluent , graceful and effective writers
and speakers , and v.'o comprehend with the
teaching of literature the proper direction of
the pupils' reading and such Instruction In
literature as shall lead them to properly
appreciate the good , the beautiful , the sub
lime In the literature of the present , as well
as In the past. "
In the first quoted of these paragraphs
comments the Sioux City Journal , there Is
a suggestion that will commend Itself to
every ono who recalls the old school read
era with their supply of literary mince
meat. The school book makers of today are
aware of the demand for something differ
ent , for they are publishing supplemental
readers In which are given'tho best liter
ature of the world , complete anS unchanged.
The school children ot the present time
are greatly favored by the enterprise of the
publishers and the progressive spirit of ed
ucators. ,
The Indorsement of Jhce ; , Black Hills ed
ucators of that view of 'tho otudy of the
EnglUh language which places everything
of piactlcal value ahead a ; the mere study
of language for pleasure or dkclpllnr , show a
that the Black Hills teachers nro fully
abreast of the times. The paragraph relat
ing to this might convoy the Impression that
something novel was to be Introduced , but ,
In fact , the otst educators everywhere
arc looking for practical results In the
teaching of the English language , and there
Is no new suggestion In the paragraph
quoted. It Is Just as well , however , that ed
ucators , when they get together , should re
iterate their views that they may be madu
emphatic.
There Is need of n great deal of discussion
ot the belt methods ot teaching the English
language In the schools. There nro defects
In all syotcms In present u c. Boys and
girls go through the schools and finish their
lessons , but as men and women are not able
to use the Engllrh language propel ly. But
few men or women are able to express their
thoughts In language uatl factory to them
selves , cither orally or In writing. The Black
Hills teachero stumbled nnd became all tan
gled up In the resolution quoted above on
the subject of teaching English. These In
professional and business life make blunders
that poem Inexcusable to the critics , and the
most of us pars them over lightly becau ewe
wo know that Inaccuracy In language Is n
fault common to nearly all.
The way to become proficient In the use
of language la to ueo It freely. The recent
political campaign was the occasion for n
grcit deal of talking , and many men who
had not before discovered their gift of elo
quence gave themselves valuable lessons In
oratory. The Introduction of the typewriter
has made letter writing easier and more let
ters are being written. In tlmo this will
rep-lit In good to those who write. But the
foundation for the UPO ot language must be
laid In the pchools nnd the educatois of the
country do well to glvo to the subject their
best thought. _ _

The faculty of Harvard university has an
nounced Its Intention to separate from the
college students handing In written work
not their own , and to post their names on
the college bulletin boards. The offense
thus to bo dealt with Is familiarly known
ns "cribbing. " The Harvard fauilty has
determined nnd announced that It Is dis
honorable and merits public expulsion. The
conclusion thus reached , says Harpers
Weekly , Is somewhat revolutionary , and the
action taken has only been taken with re
luctance , and after solemn thought and full
discussion.
In old times at Harvard , as In most other
colleges where what Is known as the "honor
system" In examinations does not prevail ,
cilbblng was not icgarded as dishonorable ,
though Its expediency has always been freely
questioned , even by the patrons of the prac
tice. H used to be the custom , when written
examinations were held , to garrison the ex
amination rooms with proctors , who pa
trolled the aisles and made It their business
to restrain as far as possible the propensity
of the examined to cheat. The result was
that It was regarded as n fair game to beat
the examiners , and students of honorable
character often used what furtive aids they
might to eke out their halting scholarship.
Only when the examinations were In some
degree competitive , as where students wcro
trying for high rank or for scholarships ,
was cribbing felt to Involve dishonor. But
conditions are declared to have changed at
Harvard. The relations between Instructors
.and students are moro familiar than they
used to be , and the majority of the stu
dents are believed to take their work more
seriously than they once did , nnd to look
upon their Instructors more as fountains of
Information and less as hindrances to case
The faculty feels that there are certain child.
Isu things that ought to be put away from
Harvard forever , and cilbblng Is ono of
them. Hence this severe penalty for an
offense which. It seems , Is still very preva
lent among the moro frivolous undcrgiadu-
atcs.

The trustees of many Now York churches
have taken favorable action on Mayor Strong's
appeal for the use of churches to house and
teach tno surplus of school children now
deprived of accommodation In public school
buildings. The city Is putting $5,000,000 Into
sites and school buildings at the present
time.
The ccst of Philadelphia's public schools
for the current school year ID estimated at
$3,300,500. This Is exclusive of new bulld-

The faculty of Oberlin college , O. , and
cltlzciu of that town have recently sent $450
to Mount Holyoke college In special memory
of Mary Lyon , and the sentiment which
prompted the gift makes It of especial In
terest and value. In 1834 , the next year
after the founding of Oborlln college , Mary
Lyon was a teacher In Miss L. P. Grant's
school for girls at Ipswich. The fact that
Oberlin had opened Its dcoro to women on
the same- footing as men ( the first college
In America to do so ) attracted the Interest
of Mlsu Lyon , and she collected $450 , of which
$150 came from her own savings , and sent
the amount as a help to supply the urgent
needs of the Ohio college. Slnco Oberlin has
a good memory and cherishes the virtue of
gratitude , a similar gift now comes back to
the college which Mary Lyon founded , In the
tlmo of Us especial need.
