All interested are new urged to com pete arrangement for commencements, and Inform this office as soon as possi ble. The commencements should be bald before busy times are at band for the farmers. Township commence ments are In charge of the township ex. aminers, unless otherwise agreed upon. Iowa and city commencements are to ba conducted by the teachers or the schools. As soon as programs are com pleted seed copy to connty superinten deal for publication. This column con talned a sample program last week. The "Autocrat" will be the literary abiect for April, May, June and July. The State Board will decide at its May meeting what is to follow it. The traditional school treats education as a science; in Its best form it studies psychology and pedagogics and other professional lore, but never sees in the child more than Interesting illustrations of these things. For the rational school education is art, in the practice of which nsvcholory and pedagogics lurnisli iomi dearree of lischt : but it never tires of studying the child, constantly ve-ify-g. amending and extending tneso sec ence helps. Hence it happens not un frequently that tne iranmonai scnoo with all Its science accomplishes noin no, while the rational school In the h.nds even of untutored art, achieves commendable results ; for science Is Its own and. but art creates Its science as it realises Its Ideals. -W.

Let your answer be no, courteously but firmly spoken. When invited to smoke a cigar, s cigarette or lo lakes "chaw" of tobacco, it will take cuurugo, the best kind of courage, morül courage , to speak the little wor I 0 dUilncily Hnd firmly that ill who tear will understand what you mean ; but speak it and provo yourselves ro.s No matter if boys or even men mil at you. Their jokes and quibs will not harm you in the least, nor will they cost you a cent, but the tobacco will. When asked lo play pool, billmrds. c wds and kindrod games ot cttsnce for mouoy money is a good thing; when It got in a good way, but the touch, of II gotten gold is pollution. You cau get money honestly in but ona way by giving in exchange a fair equivalent ac cording lo the standard of tbe country where tho barlor is made. Whou yon win at pool, billiards or cards, what do you givo in return? Nothing, it is masked robbary.

Those who are ruled by law should have the power to say what shall bo tbe laws and who tbe law-makers. Women aro as much interested in legislation as men, aud are entitled to representation. William L'oyd Garrison. Every argument that can be adduced to prove that males ebonld have tbe right to vote, applies with equal force to prove that females should possess the same right. -Hon. Benj. F. Wade. I believe in woman suffrage bocauie women aro as integral a part of tbe com mon wealth as men, and have equal social rights, and tbe first of all social rights is tbe right of self government - uatrlat Prescott Stanord, We used to ask for suffrage because women needed it as a means to larger opportunities. But the aspect of tbe woman question nas cnanged. Women are now sayng, as in tne days or tbe war, "Tbe country needs us." Mary A. Livormore. 1 believo in the admhsion of women to the lull rights of citizenship and abare n the government, on the express grounds tbat few women keep house so badly or wltn sucb wastefulness as Chancellors of the Exchequer keep the State, and womanly genius for organ!zition applied to the affairs of the nalion would be extremely economical and bonoflcla'.
