Pj~ ' HMHr PfgPW? - EDITOR, j To Make Good Citizens. jj|p* M. E. GATES, LL. D. I Continued from last week."] L -1 THE DUTY OF TEACHERS. Teachers, with whom rests the responsibility of fixing these standards in school life, will not train their pu- I i pils intelligently for the duties and j responsibilities of citizenship unless : they have themselves given time and ! attention and loving thought to the j principles of sound government and j to the demands which popular gov- j ernment if it succeeds must constantly make up the citizen for moral thoughtfulness, self contol and pub lie spirit. The study of the history of our country, with emphasis upon shining examples of patriotism and disinter- j ested goodness; patriotic songs in the schoolroom; patriotic selections for reading and declamation?these help to form the spirit and tone in the ; school. But more than this is needed. There should be in all our schools (and in a ''grade" not so far advanced that most children leave school before they reach if) simple, clear and con- I vincing teaching of the elementary . principles of government and of the purpose and design of law and gov erament, of the ultimate foundation of all government upon justice, equity righteousness, upon the moral law, and of the supreme authority of that j law over majorities as well as minori^ ties, however "free" the form of gov eminent may be. Every young citizen should early be taught that a majority has a right to do what it pleases only when it pleases to do light. Even in his early school days every future citizen should learn to feel the solemn responsibility which rest on every citizen of a free State to govern himself thoughtfully, voluntarily and strictly. THE SCHOOLS TO BE KEPT UP. But whatever may be done or left undone by our colleges, let Americans see to it that in the great sys- j tem of public schools, which is so closely-connected with our national ; life, there be early introduced, steadS ily pursued and strongly emphasized, \ aBpb, such studies as tend to make moral, i intelligent, loyal citizens, who under- | stand and love not only their rights j but also their duties as citizens of the United StaMM^Pur highest in-' P IS tUl UU(?UtH3llUUttLUO luaxuii u* 5V' ernment, as deserving of attention in directing the peaceful policy of national education as at moments crisis and manifest danger to the State, "Salus populi lex^uprema. "The welfare of the people is the highest law.'' Agricultural Education. w. w. cba>T. There are now agricultural colleges and agricultural experiment stations in every State in the Union, working harmoniously together for the ad(' vancement of the twin causes of agricultural education and agricultural science. The experiment station is the handmaid of the college, and tbev are the completement of each .?other. In the college not only are the theories of agriculture taught, to be followed by demonstration in the station, but the mind of the student is fitted to follow, receive and assimilate the practical object lessons which the work of the latter offers. The primary object of all agricultural training is to make better farmers; that accomplished, and all else follows in due course?increase in productiveness, checking of wastes, conserving of soil fertility, etc. The better the farmer, the greater the profit from the farm. It may seem a narrow view to take, but not until it has been demonstrated that "there is money in it'' will the occupation of j farming become more popular and a better class of men be attracted to it?men who are better educated, better equipped in every way for that or any other occupation. These j men should come from the farm to j the farm. They should be of the j V generation now approaching roan- i hood, and should come from the faim j to the college and thence again to the j farm, carrying with them to put into j practice there the teachings of the ' schools, to the end that they may be- j come better farmers than their j fathers. Farmer life will be de- j nuded of many of its sordid and narrowing conditions as soon as the j ? siuggle for bread and for the occa- i sional surplus dollar becomes less j grinding; and whenever the educated j man is able to pursue the occupation j with the probability of a pecuniary ! reward approximating that which the : same exercise of his talents would I bring in other walks of life, and to | V* J t J.'L : surrouna uimseu aim laumy wnu the same privileges that they would have were they otherwise engaged, j then the end toward which all present effort for higher agricultural educate* is being directed will be : V. I achieved, and the fariuimr class "become awake to tlie value of a trained j mind." But the value of the trained < , J mind in agriculture will not be gen- ! eraily appreciated unless very sub i stantial evidences of that value are j r apparent.

A patent medicine man drove his team upon the public square of a country town, tossed a silver dollar into the crowd that quickly gathered and loudly declared that he could cure every ill to he found in medical advertisement. "I have here, gentlemen," said he, holding up a small ! bottle, ''something that will astonish you. If there is a dull man in the crowd T will make him sharp; if there is a sick man I will make him well. Of course you have all been fooled many a time, but if I decieve you I will patiently submit to the ungraceful performace of riding on a rail. Here, old gentleman, you look feeble, dome and take a swallow of this ! medicine, and if it don't make you feel better, I will give you my wagon and team. Come, don't be afraid." The man stepped up and took a J swallow of the medicine. ' Don't it make you feel better?" I the medicine man asked. 'Hanged if I don't believe it do. I i Give me another drop." "Step right up, gentlemen, and for ! one dollar get a bottle of the wonj derful elixir. Most wonderful dis | eovery known to the world. Had its i discovery been early enough, Andrew i Jackson would be living to day. Here | old gentleman, I warrant you can J lighten your footsteps.

He took a swallow, and, when asked j if he did not feel improved, shook '> his head slowly, and, turning to the ! crowd, said: ''Boys, there ain't no j foolishness about this stuff. Gimme | a bottle.:: Then there began a rush for the j medicine. Men scuffled for place, j and the vender s^w with pleasure j that some of his customers emptied i their bottles and then came after j more.
