on the itpwnrj trend In the t1nanla1 way
Is Indtcated by the nmount of the iornt-nn-
nual tnto achool npporttonment received by
the Ornalut choo1 district. The aurn 1 $2S-
92.D2. the bggeit ; rocevet In ten years ,
Th18 hawisomo bit of nccrctlon to the clioo1
fund has alao brought the fund nearer the
credit tIde of the ledger than It baa been
for romu time. secretary QUinn of tb
school board says that with the asItanee
bt thta money the tthtrIct will be 2OO0O
better oft than IL wan one year ago and h
ban hopeH that thli atno proiortton sUt
exL when the close of the year arrIves.
The money was recetved by ecerotary Gil-
Ian fron the county treasurer 7esterday
Rnornlng nni wa ot once turned over to
Treaeurc Edwar1R , IL will not remain idle
long. for It will be et. once employed in
taking up out9tnndlng Babool warrants.
'Theo aggregate now about $ CO,000 aiul very
nearly one-half of them will ba called in.
ThIs will leave the indehtelne2s of the din-
ttict. In the shape of outstnndtng warranta
at about 330.000 ,
The amount of the apportionment has
been growing steadily , One year ago th
city received $24,224.10. $ The sum necurel
the first of this year wan $26,310.91. The
latter apportionment and the one just received -
coived hrlns the total of the year up to
name $ ,0O0. About the Banto amoUnt was
secured ten yearn ago. The 'lowest point
was reached two years ago , when the total
amount at the year wan some $32,000 , or only
ft little more than the prcsoat semi-annual
tipportiontnent.
The acquisition puts the district In batter
shape by $20,000 than it a year ago ,
according to Secretary Gilinu , and he confidently -
dently counts upon it being nearly an well
off at the and of the year. This will depend -
pend largely , of course , on whether the
school board invests in more real estate or
big improvements and repairs are beiug
made. Neither is lllteiy. The board will not
buy land except enough for a Pacific school
site and Superintendent of Buildings Banker
declares that the repatra will amount to
comparatively little in compartnon with past
years.
The city school 1ovy this year was much
smaller than last year. The number of mills
the district had net aside for Its maintenance -
tenanco was more than cut In half , while
the valuation of the vroporty In the city
wan Increased one-thIrd. But Secretary Gil-
Ian reckons that the receipts from the police
court viI3 very zicarly make up thin dlt-
forenco. Last month the reccllts froni the
police court wore $1P00 , tlio biggeit received -
coived for five yearn , Last year they averaged -
aged aiOUt 100 a month , or some ; i,400 for
the year. During the rent of the year the
receipts vilI probably average $1,600 a
month. It Is by counting upon thin revenue
that Secretary Gillan Ilgures out that thu
school board will find lt0lf ahead at the
end of the year.

Seed collections from the Florence schodis ,
drawing from Benson and Dundee , nrtistl-
catly bound work from Millard , primary
work from Elk City , compositions and views
of school buildings from Waterloo and
careful work from rural schools complete
the Douglas county exhibit.
The Nebraska. exhibit is interesting to the
patrons , Instructors and pupils of the great
majority of our schools from a personal
standpoint Yet the greatest benefit conies
rather from making one's study Impersonal ,
viewing the work as an entirety and then
making comparIsons. I asked a superintendent -
tendent from another state , Who was thor-
ouighly canvassing the work , what was the
object of his xnniinattnn. The reply was :
"To discriminate between methods which
seek only Immediate results , or 'show work , '
to Use a current phrase , and those which
really develop application , self-control and
power in the pupils , to fulfill their dutied to
thethselves and others ; in a word , fit them
for the duties of life. " Speculating on what
would be done with this mass of work at
the close of the exposition , I wondered if
it would not be profitable , for many reasons ,
for the city and country schools to make a
mutual Interchange. The one criticism Is
lack of proper labeling , but thin applies to
but a small portion of the work.
Mr. C , Stewart of Alma , assistant to
Superintendent Jackson and manager of the
public school exhibit , exclusive of Douglas
county , is a veritable encyclopedia of In-
formatioii on the subject , which he gladly
dispenses to all inquirers.

is entitled , "ljnder the Spelt of the Grand

the journey dowmm the river and along the
hills that are so hard to surmount , The tray-
elor skirts the bases of gigantic cliffs which ,
seen from hear and far below , look like the
sides of mountain ranges , or he scrambles
up through rugged gullies to the top and
finds that they are level plateaus scantily
clad with soil and broken by shrub atid
plnon and cedar. "You swing across the
plateau and slide and clamber down again , "
ho continues , "but with the deBccnt of a
few hundred feet you are in another world.
The vision no longer revels In those upland
spaces which raise the spirit Into exultant
mastery. It flay be a desperate labyrinth
of gorges along which now you fare , whose
grotesque and threatening walls crowd in
upon the way in stolid , brutal insistence.
It may be a broad valley with dry , level ,

tar the learned doctor descrIbes in part , at

the adjacent deserts. It Is a splendid arti-
clu and shows that the west Is not forgotten

perhaps the most notable Is "The Monster , "
by Stephen Crane. The power of presentIng
scenes of horror , which has hitherto led ft.
Crane into the naths of adventure , in hero
used to shov how a quiet country town was
reduced to abject terror as the result of a
strange accident. As a atudy of American
life and character , the story represents a
departure in Mr. Crane's career and one
which shows a marked increase of literary
power. It is richly illustrated by Peter New-
cli. In the openIng article in the number
Stephen Bonmial gives an account of his personal -
sonal studies of the convict system In Si-
berm. In his judgment the Russian convict
system has been greatly belied and instead
of being an engine of monstrous cruelty and
oppression it is sane and humane and is In
a way to become one of the most efficient
in the world. Tile artIcle is fully illustrated

These who are much given to complain-
inmr about uresent day corruotion or do-
flouncIng congress because there are small
men there ought to read an article in the
AugUst number of the Atlantic by Prof.
Charles K. Adams. He quotes Durand as
recording that Tom Paine , who was then
the secretary of the committee on foreign
affairs and of course knew all its secrets ,
was engaged by the French minister for
$ Iooolydar "to InspIre the people with
sentIthents favorable to France. " No doubt
tbo racaI earned his money , but who the
other members wore that were thus inspired
we do not know. That such "inspiration , "
however , was used to a greater or less extent -
tent , there can ho no possible doubt. One
of the biographers of John Jay relates that
some thirty years after the events hero
mentioned Gouvenneur Morris went over
from Morrlsania to visit his old frIend Jay
at Bedford , During their conversation Mor-
i'm suddenly ejaculated through clouds of
smoke , "Jay , what a set of d-d ocoun-
cIrcle we had In that second congress ! "
"Yes , " said Jay , "that we had , " and the
venerable ox-chief justIce knocked the ashes
from his pipe. Ho gives much other Interesting -
osting information about politics In the
early days of the United States. Another
t4mely article relates to the Spanish people.
Irving Babbitt describes from actual ex erl-
enco and observatIon the peculiarIties of the
Spanish people , the prIde , sloth , modineval-
lam that have brought them into their prea-
ant strait , and traces the historical causes
and developments ; but lie nevertheless refuses -
fuses to assume with Lord SalIsbury that
Spain IS a eying nmumon , nuimuving coat
she yet possesses In abundance virtues
which the world can ill afford to lose. In
the same magnaino Prof. Wheeler of Cornell

big struggle for the mastery of the world.
Ho setS aside the Latin races as unstable
and unprogresslvo , the Teuton ( Germany )
as lacking some element vital to success.
There remain England and Russia , the Slav
