EDGERTON HURRY AND EFFICIENCY. It' Is not the man making the most motions that doea the most work. It Is the man who makes every move count. The giant dynamo which turns the machinery of a city makes little noise. It mores almost as quietly as the unirerse. Yet it never misses a stroke, and its every stroke Is power. A bluebottle fly on a windowpane is certainly industrious, also noisy, but he gets nowhere. Moreover, he never learns. The same fly will buzz at the same pane as often as he happens on the wrong aide of it. The trouble la that he lacks brains. If he had even a glimmer of intelligence he would -JJnd some other Way out of hla difficulty. In a modified degree is this not also the trouble with those who make too many motions and too much noise about their tasks? Of course bustle Is all right it it gets anywhere. But there are people who fly hither and yon, stew and worry their heads off and get little or nothing done to show for it. There are other ways to work besides with our hands or feet with our heads, for example. That Is what our beads are for. Lincoln bad a way of "tripping every question down to its essentials. He got at the nub of it and decided that He accomplished much without seeming to hurry. On vital things he was very' slow and painstaking, yet historians now agree that, generally speaking, he acted at the right time. He had time to chat with his friends, even to tell stories, yet the presidency of the United States is a most exacting office and never more so than during our great civil war. Lincoln knew the secret of making every move count. It is that which tells the story of efficiency. Move quickly, of course, but surely. The great business houses of our own day are developing that same kind of efficiency. They move with the precision of gigantic machines. The men wanted by these big houses are those that work with their heads men that know the most about the business, men that find new ways to draw trade, to eliminate waste, to cheapen production, to cat corners. The man who has his headwork properly organized will not make false moves. He will not be a human edition of a bluebottle fly. Undelivered Messages.

Unjust Criticism.

A few thoughtless people have publicly stated that the newspapers should be censured for printing statements during the earlypart of the flood at Dayton last week, that the loss of life in that city would be great. These harsh and unjust critics, who always

charged that these statements were known to be untrue when!ciety for the study of primitive man- ... , i ai i.- ij has written a learned paper defending printed and were published for the sole reason to be sensational and the 8(M.an?a 8UPr?tition concerning to stimulate the sale of extra editions.

REFORM WAVE IN F Farmers of Province Are Going in For Mixed Farming This Year. CALGARY, Alberta, April 1. Calgary implement and seed houses report that the farmers of this province are going in for mixed farming this year as never before. A wave of reform in the methods of farming they say is sweeping over the province, and the acreage planted to any one grain alone this year will be greatly decreased. Implement men state they are selling more different varieties of farm implements this year, which bears out their theory conclusively that mixed farming will be carried on very extensively. Calgary seed houses also report the same conditions in the sale of seed and state that the variety of seeds sold for planting this season is surprising. This tendency on the

The campaign for mixed farming in Alberta has been conducted with vigor by the department of agriculture during the past few years, and the success of many farmers near Calgary has been used as a proof to others that it is not only possible but the safest plan to pursue. The campaign will be kept up until Alberta has changed from a grain growing country to the greatest mixed farming country in the world. Modern Romance.

EDITORIAL VIEWS.

FAIRIES. (Evansville, Ind.. Courier.) A member of a British society with long name something like Anthropoloeical society which means a sowhat thpy g&by stealing." lt doesn t make any difference if he ciety, crazy or anything else; he s crazy as a March hare. Faries were ot ,stumP' or swarthy which means dark and they didn t steal. Fairies were and are gracefully formed Httie blondes, just as plump and cute as as the' can and the' never Stole 'anything. Ihey didn t eat bread; of course not. They ate dew drops of as rairies. For fairies do not nice to be talked about that way, and they will not come around where folks say there are no fairies. But there are. Have you ever stood by the couch of a little child, and beheld the dimDles that nlaved about Its cheeks while it slumbered? Well, that ini-?ont ,ittle babe s then listening to fairy playmates only you couldn't see them with your doubting eyes. Who tangles the hair of baby's head if it isn't the fairies? Who paints the baby, and dimples it, if it isn't a good fairy grandmother primping it for a fit companion for own fair' grandchildren? i f course there are fairies plenty : of them, just as there always have I been fairies, and they are not swarthy ! either; nor stumpy don't forget that. i They hover about the couch of childhood, and whisper pleasant stories in the ears of lovers. They sit beside the busy business man and promise him success. They ride with the warrior, and show him the weak nlaces in the lines of the enemy. : They live in the fingers of the artist. ;in the brain of the act nor, in the soul of tll mU8iCian and sculptor. j They assemble in wbbers, clad in Ipetlf(Jnfrora the rose3, enever a babe They comfort "the mother as she passes through the valley of the sha dow of death that her child may live. e youth upon his journeys, and abide with the mature anu do not dsert the aged. And, when at last we are done with this old shell, good fairies take us by the hand, and lead us across the dark waters, and sing with us in the glorious sunshine of the great beyond, through all eternity. A PRAISEWORTHY PLAN. (Hammond, Ind., Times.) A. L. Murray, the head of the English department of the Hammond high school, has mailed the Times some journalistic efforts by his students. Mr. Murray's idea is a good one. It would be a valuable experience were every high school student to be taught the rudiments of journalism in connection with his English work. The high school and college student studie.i every branch of literature except the journalistic style. And the journalistic style is the most common. Were the average person to be given, for a few brief hours, the point of view of the newspaper man and editor and his ability to understand the newspaper which he reads ever day would be-greatly developed. Jle would be able then to boil down tferything he says and thinks, some- ; thing that all newspaper men are not able to do. Mr. Murray has had experience in ; journalism and hence his suggestion. ! There is a very little verbosity in the daily recital of the doings of a community, little use for high sounding

11 literacy and the

Not immigration, but the lack of educational opportunities in rural dis-' tricts, is chiefly responsible for the relatively high rate of illiteracy in the United States, according to a bulletin by A. C. Monahan of the Bureau of Education. The rate of rural illiteracy is twice the urban rate, despite the fact that approximately three-fourths of the immigrants are in the cities. Still more significant is a comparison between children born in this country of foreign parents with those born of native parents. "The illiteracy among native-born children of native parentage is more than three times as great as among native children of foreign parentage." says Mr. Monahan, "largely on account of the lack of opportunities for education in rural America." The bulletin is of special value at this time because it is a brief, clear, nonsensational statement of the rural school problem. It does not attempt to gloss over unpleasant facts, lt gives full recognition to the positive advance that has been made in many rural distrcts, and to improvements now under way, but in general finds conditions far from satisfactory. Among other things, Mr. Monahan finds 226,000 one-teacher schoolhouses in the United States, of which 5.000 are log buildings still in active use. Although more than 60 per cent of the children in the United States are enrolled in country schools, the rural aggregate attendance is only 51 per adjectives and highly descriptive phrases. Journalism is the literature practical. It should be taught iu the schools. It would help the average person to get to the point of an issue. It is the right sort of discipline. Does the newspaper say, "The soft summer breezes were blowing, the song of the lark in the meadows had ceased, the little violets lifted their petals to drink the descending dew, etc., etc., when suddenly the roar of flames was heard, etc., etc.," or does it say, "A fire of unknown origin at 11 o'clock last night destroyed the residence of John Jones, 2231 Halsey street. The progress of the fire was and result on to produce THE

The school buildings and grounds iu most country districts are in a condition that is only approached by "homes of the most shiftless residents of the district." and the average teaching in these one-teacher schools is of very low grade. The bulletin is illustrated with photographs of good and bad rural schools from the log schoolhouse to the consolidated school; right and wrong heating in a country school; a canning factory and school garden connected with a Louisiana school; and a map showing the system of local school supervision as it prevails in the several states The purpose of the may is to show how real the need is for the kind of business-like supervision of the country schools that has led lo such efficient results in the city With the help of recent appropriations made by Congress the Bureau of Education has undertaken to make a careful study of the needs of the rural schools, and .the bulletin just is sued is one of the first definite results of the work, "lt is in no way either complete or exhaustive." says Com missioner Ciaxton, "but it is the best possible under the circumstances and w ith the facilities now at our disposal.
