Govornmont In Tho PUbllo
Schools.
Organized sell-government of chil-
dren by children for children is in
xuceesslul operation in nimiy of the
schools of New York Philadelphia
and other localities. It outfit to be
introduced everywhere for it has sal-
ved the problem of municipal politics
and has vindicated the wUduui of re-
presentative government irrespective ol
sex. Liko tho sjstem of "juvenile
courts." is a mib-tltuto for ordinary
proposition I police supervision it his proved it
superior efficiency auo uas como to
stay.
The first trial of tho new syctom was
made in a disorderly school of more
than 2.000 pupils in ono of tho su
burbs of Nw York Tho wholo dis-
cipline of the school was pliced in tho
bands or the children themselves.
They elect a mayor and Council.
Their teachers are present at the meet
ings pf the Courcil and retain ulii-
tnato authority but rarely exercise it.
Formerly tho constant presence ol
policemen was lequircd on the play-
grounds. Within n week with the
richt and responsibility of govcrninc
themselvps the school became orderly
and law-abidinK.
In those minialuro republics of boys
nnd girls governing themselves and
each other by universal suffrage hold
ing their own courts making and en-
forcing their own laws no rpecial leg-
islative or private intorest has any
chancn. Thero is no craft no boodlp
no collusion between their police and
wrong-doers.
President Roosnvelt hns commended
thn tencbing of civics bv this admira
able plan. Many eminent educators
cive it their enthusiastic approval.
Rut if children without distiupiion
of ppx hivo thus demonstrated their
ability to carry on government how
lone will it bi before tin amo prlncN
pal will be applied to all rilizns men
and women with similar beneficent
result Henry IJ. lilaekwell in

"WOMEN AND THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
Tho new Idei Woman's Muc.17.ino
for October has an inspiring article on
"Women in Professions" by Miss
Klizibetb Howanl Wctwood. MUs
Weft wood runs over tho field of tliote
prnfeM-irns into whiih women inter
showiog that there are now very very
few in which they have not pioved
their capability. Speaking of the vi
uuational field which is as over one
ot thoe most entered hy women she
says; "Some ol llie most renutkanw
educational work is being done by wo-
men in cnnnHftion with the pnhlic
schools. Mis Fartel whose class of
unmanageable children is well known
is littlo short of wonderful. Roys
who have proved too much for school
after school teacher after teaoher
never gavo her tho slightest trouble.
Children who have been given up as
hopeless idiots learn to read under her
tute'agc and take the first toward fit
ting for a trade She is an enthusiast
and an optimist declaring that sho has
yet to see the child too stupid to be-
come self supporting or too bad to be
reached by kind firm treatment."
R G. Duulop was over from Clear
Like Saturday and paid tbo Herald
ofjfico hi) usual call while in tbo city.
Mr. D'inlop states that he has an im
mense crop this year. Ho orougnt
some samples nf bis cane to town
which measured 8 feet 9 inches. Ho
said that there was not just an occa-
sional stalk of that height either but
that the entire field bad made an enor-
mous growth.
Wo Need Flro Protootlon
Reaver is badly iu need of some
source ol firo protection and tho mat-
ter should be attended to uithuut do
lay Tho ffatcr ktipply in the town ut
present is not great enough to extin-
guish even the smallest blaze about a
diZt-n buckets being tho enuieity of
fho average woll along the streets
and tin o wells aro so few that they
hardly luri'ish driuking water for tbo
business' scititm of thotuwn much less
to be of auy benefit in liiuo of confu-
gation. Enough money has been foolishly ex
pended in licnver the past tew yearn
to equip the eity with a good sjstem
of water works Tune and agslr. sub
scriptions have been taken for tho ben
ef'tof Tom Dick and Harry ami the
gcnorosiiy ol tho people has been tuxed
in unjust ciuses. Just becausn we
are di-gustcd with tho regulation sub-
scription paper is no rcaun why c
should overlo"k a matter of s( great
imparlance as that of file prntiction
tfi our homes and business
With the cI.im of building of which
Reaver is compo-ed and tho w.av in
which they are sandwiched together
makes it next to impossible to secure
insurance on them without paying
such a high rate that it would bo bet-
ter lo bo burncJ out than to carry in-
surance for a great number of jcars.
With tho buildings all Iramo struc-
tures joined together as thoy nro on
both sides of Douglas Avenue mak-
ing a solid street almost wo havo a
veritable firo trap and without sdi quale
means ol protection against fire" a
blaze in ono nf thorn might menu the
destruction of the entire bide of the
street.
For a very small amount say ton
cost of ono 3 ear's inurunce a well
could bo put lown and u windmill and
tank erected for stor;ng water. This
water loi'ld ho piped to every part of
town and tho firo question would be
solved and our interest comparatively
safe. Without something ol the kind
we daily run tho risk of losing the
fruits of many hard years of toil. It
is not a good business policy to delay
the matter longer. I.t someone
tako hold nf the matter and make the
start and thrn eyerhnd". with thei

The general complaint has been
that thero is nothing to do in Heaver
but Judgo Meeso Is riady with the
proof to contradict this statement since
ho rode all one day last week in do ef-
fort to get workers on iho cotton gin
and was then unsuccessful. The
trouble is that many of tbo people in
Reaver county and especially Heaver
is that they aro looking for u soft snap
and do not want to find real labor
There is plenty of work for those who
aro williLg to do it.
