H 9 The metropolitan press is trying to create the impression that the mere mention of Mr. Folic by Mayor Reed in his Sedalia speech Saturday, called fort li much applause. Such is not the case. Mr. Reed told of the good work done by officials in purging the public service of the baneful influence of corrup tionists naming the officials. Among others named was Mr. Folic, to whom Mr. Reed paid a high compliment. Of course all good Democrats could en dorse faithful public service which is the rule among Demo crats, and applauded the men tion of the names of fait ht u I officials. This trying to create the impression that the applause was for Jos. W. Folk is, how ever, only a little more manu factured gas for the Folk bo m.

It is reported that Missouri! will get only g,400 square feet of space in which to make its educational exhibit, while St. Louis which proposes to make an exhibit separate and apart from the state, will have 3,(100 square feet. Jt is not believed that President Francis will stand for any such discrimina tion, when the matter has been properly laid before him. One whose sun lises and sets on the Atlantic seashore and whose eyes are ever turned eastward has not learned that bt. Louis is not all of Missouri. Every teacher should adapt the work done id bts school to i a we'l digested course of study and ii this way grade the school. A fixed course of sudy is essential to unity of purpose, but it is not necessary that every teacher do everything just as indicated in the adopted course. To do so would kill the spirit of the work. The teacher who cannot put a sys tematic course into operation without making the work arti ticial and mechanical lacks training, lacks culture and to that extent is not prepared to teach school. He is merely a school keeper-. Such is the trouble with many who have takeq only short courses in some so-called normal or busi ness college. On the other ha ml one who will make no ef fort to systematize the work for fear it will become too me chanical advertises his narrow ness in education !

The use of straw and stubble in tbe making of ancient bricks, as recorded in the fifth chapter of Exodus in the Bible, led G. A. Acheson of Niagara Falls, to use the material in the making of crucibles. JThe Chicago Chronicle says that Acheson procured some straw, had it boiled and mixed the dark red liquid thus obtained with clay. He found, that the plasticity was greatly increased. Investiga -tion showed that the tannin was the aciiveagent and when he treated other clay with the solution of tannin in water, he obtained surprising r -nils. The strength and plasticity uf clay are increased and the tendency to shrink aud warp are greatly reduced. In this process sun drying is far superior to burning Mrs. C.
