As for me I think -that thc new rules are one of the biggest set of radical so-called democratic measures that have ever been forced on our people.

Is It merely because there is a set of men or class -of people, such ar. adopted and consented to adopt this set of radical rot that we have on our hands, ie trying and clamoring to get control bi our govcxnuie?t? rThey do not wish to be governed by the ma jority of our people, and do you"~know why?

Thc parlor of a boarding house was the cradle of this educa tional ryslcm. In those days lt was thought that a rchool "to teach teachers how to teach" was a need lers expenditure of time and money. Unable to secure state aid, the pion eers accepted money offered by Ed mum! Dwight, who later became con spicuously Identified with the new educational movement. The first clars, consisting of five girlr, had the Rev. Cyrus Pierce of Nantucket as its teacher. At the end of the first year the school, known us thc Lexington Academy,' had--twenty-five, students all girls. It had demonstrated ita worth so thoroughly that the legisla ture voted by a large majority to ap propriate sufficient funds to estab lish lt r,s r. permanent adjuuet to the educational system. - o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o .o o o ol o He Had His Revenge. o o - , o ooooooooooooooooooo He was a surly and quarrelsome old farmer and the only person of any importance who had managed to avoid clashing with him was the mild-man nered vicar. But even this forbearing gentle man lost bis temper when the farmer Impudently turned his. horses loose in thc church yard and refused to take them out again. High word* ensued and the vicar so far forgot himself aa to csll the far mer a "broken-down old mule." Off went Ojo farmer on tba instant and crashed noisily Into tho village lawyer's office. "The vicar hus jUBt called me a broken-down old mule " ho bawled "What am I to do?" Now the lawyer had once received a severe 'rehuir from the farmer and had waited for years for a chance to repay it. Hera was his opportunity and he seized it with both hande. 'Don't come to me about that," bc said, coolly. "I can't patch you up. I'm no veterinary surgeon." ?Daily Magasine. Representative Dan Anthony of Kansas, enjoys automobiling.

It exerts a commanding influence over the 523.000 school teachers who are Instructing 18,000,000 school children. The old time pedagogue, who WUP con sidered efficient if bc or rhu had mas tered thc tin ce H's is giving way to the highly trained normal school graduate: who bas spent two or more years In diligent study to prepare for the profession. There are more than 300 public and private normal schools In the United States today. The number of prospective teachers en rolled as students aggregates nearly 100,000 of which three-fourths are women.
