In the great Canadian Northwest, wbore the erstwhile wilderness is waving wi ti golden grain and towns are springing up overnight, not a Hew women /have gone to seek their fort unes alone. A homestead grant ot ICO acre3 is free, and any "head of a family," man or woman, may secure it upon application to the Canadian gov ernment. Usually, of course, the ap plicant ls a man, but occasionally a weman essays to make " her fortune on . the praries without masculine aid. Miss Marie Gilroy, of Saskatchewan, is one of ?the mo3t famous woman set tlers ct? tibe w-cSt. She iput; her last shilling into a prarie farm and spent seven years in a hand-to-hand tussle without fortune, sitting on her own Hndcr, cutting her own grain, hand ling the 'plough .in the furroughs and toing stable duty. In 1906 her hold ing excited the admiration of a young Englishman and Miss Gilroy was in duced to hand over lock, stock and fcarrel to him for the round sum of Today Miss Gilroy is touring Europe on the proceeds of her original ?2.000. Mrs. McGllvray, who came to the Canavan West twenty years ago with six small children, is another promi rent woman farmer of Saskatchewan. Beginning almost penniless her 160 acres of homestead have now grown to an eight hundred acre estate and her ?children are settled round her in com fort and affluence. Salome Wertman came with her hus ?.ami and little family from Russia and cooa she, too, was a wiidow. She still Siept on "trying to earn bread," as she cays, and. sixteen years after her ab solutely penniless start she stands as one of the successful land owners of Saskatchewan. . Mrs. Ferris is known as the "woman farmer" of the Portage Plains. Left with a family d! young children, she has managed her farm most success fully since the death of her husband. She comes from Belfast Ireland, and when she arrived In Western Canada with her husband thirty-two years ago *?ey had no capital at all.

Filled with hatred for the place, she decided to leave it, hut the morning after her son's funeral, when sh? was packing up, ?er daughter called to her, "Moth er, come her, quick!" She looked and .saw that men, teams and .ploughs quietly and without a word of explan ation were beginning work on the firm.

Will Serve thc State From a Stand point of Duty Never Sought the Office. Aiken, Special.-Mr. Hayne Y. Rice, who w 3 recently appointed a uember of the State board of educa ?on, has accepted the appointment and received his commission. Mr. Rice was seen by a correspondent and | nade the following statement : ul received my commission and il ?xpect to serve. Under the law it is' ;he duty of the governor to appoint me person from every congressional Jistrict in the State, whom, together with' the Stato superintendent of ed ucation and the governor, shall con stitute the State board of education.

Ansel did not see fit to consult the superintendent of education, that is i personal matter between the two Cor which I do not deem myself ia wy manner responsible. Mr. Mar tin's attempted nings nt myself, o? whomNhe knew nothing whatever, were so manifestly unjust, and his purpose so evident, that I did not consider thejn worthy of a reply. "The superintendent construes cx Gov. Sheppard's refusal to serve on the board as an endorsement of his contention ^against the governor. I have neither part nor parcel in any ccontroversy between Supt. Martin and Gov. Ansel, but since Mr. Mar tin's last published letter to the gov ernor I can not refuse to serve and thereby cast discredit upon our chief ?xecutive. This appointment was not solicited by me, nor by aijy one for me, so far as I am informed, but .mder all the circumstances I feel it my duty, not only to our chief exe cutive, but to the whole people of the State, to accept it and serve to the best of my abilitv."

COMPULSION NOT BEST Does Not Think7 Compulsory Educa tion as Important as Supervision of tte Teachers. Colum! ia, Special.-As a result of .be. investigation made by the State department of education, Superinten dent Martin has announced that in his report to the next general assem bly he would favor a law improving the system of supervision of teachers rather than the passage" of a compul sory education law. Some time ago Mr. Martin sent out to all superin tendents of States and Territories the following list of questions with request for an early response: 1. Have you compulsory atten dance school law in your State?"" 2. If so, is it thoroughly enforc ed? 3. What is (he approximate an uual cost of the enforcement of your law ? 4. Do you have truant officers? 5. If so, how. are they appointed ? G. Do you think that is is practica ble or possible to enforce a compul sory attendance law without truant officers ? 7. What waa the increase in your attendance last year? 8. What was the percei 'age of in crease? 9. Does your law apply alike to the whole State or is a local option feature to it? His department received 45 re plied. Of this number 33 gave au affirmative reply aud 12 a negative as to the existenco of compulsory law in their respective States. Only 32 .of the superintendents an' swered the second question in re gard to the thorough enforcement of the law. Fourteen' answered simply "yes," aud 10 "no." The others gave various answers such as the fol lowing: "It is well enforced in the cities; "no good in country dis tricts;" "great effort is being put forth by the administration to en force it;" "not in. all sections;" "never has been enforced;" "no good, pay no attention to it;" "fair ly well." The answers varied greatly as to the annual cost of the enforcement of thc law. About 19 superintendents reported that they had no way of knowing becauso the money was paid out by local or county authorities. One superintendent reported $25,000. Another State, Indina, $53,145.19. Another said $2 per day for each of fleer. Another gave $500 to $700 per comity. Another gave $25 to $50 per month for each officer. New York State has 1,400 truant officers. To the forth question; "Do you have truant officers," 26 answered yes," and 5 answered "no," Mr. Martin says that it is noticeable that all of these five reported that the law was not thoroughly enforced in their States. The answers to this question were modified by such statements os the following: "We have truant of ficers in towns of more than 25,000 people." "We have from one to five truant officers in each county." "Un der the old law the chairman of the board was charged with the enforce ment; under the new law we have ruant officers." One superintendent .eported the county officers in the ities and county superintendent act ing as truant officer in the country." Mr. Martin also finds that 19 States reported that truant officers are ap pointed by local boards and eight say that they aro appointed by local boards in the city and coun ty boards in the couhtry. In one State truant officers arti appoint ed by the county superintendent aud ai*e responsible to him. In another State they are appointed by the pro bate court and'in one State the sher iff and deputies act as truant officers. Thirty-six superintendents answer ed the question as to whether it is practicable or possible to enforce a compulsory attendance law without truant officers. Of these 30 answered "no," six answered "yes," but qual ified their answers1 with such state ments as, "It depends upon the com munitv," "but it is better with them;" "I think it is;" "I think so in rural districts." Mr. Martin says it is noticeable ?hat these six replies come from States which have never had any ex perience with compulsory attendance laws. He also says that not a single superintendent in any State, where I Lae is a compulsory attendance law, soys that such a compulsory law can bo" enforced without truant officers. The answers, varied greatly as to Itiostions No. 7 in regard to increase in .^tendance.' A gre?t many of thc N'oithern States sBowj.no increase or vary slight increase.' He finds from !liio replies that it is noticeable that' the S?Viihern' States,, which have no compulsory law, are increasing in at teynajtwe much more rapidly than any -"iriv.-suntes anywhere iu j thc couu .ry. This is attributable more to the rapid development and prosperity of me country. For instance, the in stase in Georgia -was 37,000, while the increase in New York was about 22,000. Iht increase.in South Caro nia was 18.000, while the increase in New Jersey was only GOO. . Answers to question No. S simply mewed percentage in conformity ivith the figures in question No. 7. . Only 28 replies were received to i;estion No. 9 and of these 23 show .1 that the law applies to the entire tates, two show a local option fea I no milich allows people to vote as o whether ' thc law will take effect md three have a feature which a'akes it optional waitk local boards s to wheter they shall appoint truant jfiicers. Eis Conclusions. After making this statement given xbovt foi his annual report, Mr. Mar .in says: "Afiw making this investigation I ind that I reach the same conclusion .hi? Ii 1 reached last year. We ueec o systematize our school organiza ion more? than we need a eo.npuIsor> tttendanee law. In fact I do not see mw it is possible to enact and to en force an effective compulsory attend ance law until our school organiza ion is strengthened. If I had my choice between a biil to improve our sytem of supervision and a compul sory attendance bill, I should not j 'icsitate to vote for tho supervision bill. We need to raise our standard of qualification for teachers.- I be lieve that this will be effective. I really believe that a compulsory at tendance law wiil do more harm than rveoo in the present condition of our school system." Bills For Nert Session. There will be before thc legislature next year a bill for compulsory edu cation which was brought over from the last session, the continuance be ing made because of the long de bates on the passage of a dispensary 'aw. The bill was a Combination of two bills, introduced by Representa tive Aull and Kershaw and will come up early on thc calendar. A member of the house who was in the city stiled that after ? trip over the upper part of the State and conversations held with ? number of members, thia bill is almost certain of passage by lue house, while thc senate is heart ily in fatni if it. The bill provides a compulsory attendance of children apon the public schools up to a cer tain age. THC MARKETS Prevailing Prices of Cotton, Grain and Produce General Cotton Market.

If You Don't "Quite Like the Face," That Settles lt. Some liberal-minded people will ad ?it to you that a slightly preliminary training is required before a serious ?ttempt is made to criticize music, t>ut almost anybody with eyes is wil ling to embark buoyantly on the job af tearing a picture to pieces. This leer?s to be because the picture will Itand without hitching. Moreover, it will patiently submit to all the verbal harpoons you find time and strength to throw, and the average friendly critic will find sufllciently of both to make even a reasonably good paint ing look like a cross between a four teenth century St. Sebastian and a hedgehog. Music, on the contrary, is both pro longed and evanescent, and by the time the composition is finished and the applause has quieted down, the critic has forgotten most of the good things he intended to say to its de triment. But the picture stay?, irritating you by its mere passive endurance to the point where after a while you feel that if you don't say something to destroy its smug self-complacency, it will go on thinking that it's all right. So then you begin to work over it, and you say, "Yes, 1 see now; it look ed pretty good at first, but that arm lc hopelessly bad, and I don't quite like the face." There's nothing to be done if you don't "quite like the ta?e"; there's no answer to that pro position. It's a clincher. Rembrandt himself couldn't have stood up against it. If some duke of his day had saun tered up to Rembrandt's finest por trait and said, "I don't think I quite like the face,'' Rembrandt would have wilted, and would probably have given up trying to be an "old master."
