The Schools,

In no department havo tho bless
ings Of D mocratic rule been more
marked during the past year than
in the public schools. For the
first timo since the inauguration
Of tho system it has beyun to he a
benefit instead of II burden to tho
people, and under the h,nds OF the
officials who have thus far wrought
such IN improvement it will con
tinue to grow in popular favor. In
Fairfield especially, tho schools
have done we'll, the chief drawback
being the want Of money. It is
hoped that before long Fairfield
will DO banner county.
The practice Of examining toach
ers, while it has been distasteful to
some, has been Of grolt advantage
in effocting an improvement in the
telchers them selves. Tao practice
will be continue | PORN IN II tlv, md
continued oif,rts will b. made,
year after yoar, to raise the
standard. Already tho State Board
has tukon stop in tint direction,
Questions will be prcpArol by the
board, different series for olch
of tho three gra les, an | sont to the
counties, tho questions hein% sellcl
until they arc brought into the on
animation room. In this way there
will be no chance for fayoritism
and the State Boarl will be
satisfied Of the competency Of the
teachers admitted. heretofore it
has hcen Il standing excuse of
applicants that thay arc "rusty" in
thoir studies, and havo had no time
for special preparation. This
excuse will not avail hereafter.
Each applicant is expected to pro
pare himself or hors,if beforehand,
and any failure in this respect is
Of course tho fault OF tho applicant
and no ono else. The examinations
will not take plnce for several
months yot, and there is plenty
of time for preparation. AS there
is but one set Of questions for
each grade, it will be scon that
there can be but one day for cx-
animation, Oh which all applicants
must present themselves. The
examinations cannot stretch over
dozen days as they did in the
spring. the details, full notice
will be given at tho proper time,
meanwhile applicants can prepare
themselves. ~,

10 THE PRESIDENT Of ---- CLUB:
AS there seems to DO misappro-
hension as to tho operation Of the
primary election System, I deom it
necessary to call your attention
80 it.
The worry gist of the primary clec.
tion mode Of making our party
nominations, is the perfect freedom
of individual members of the party
to exercise personal preference in
casting their votes for candidates,
and tho perfect freedoms Of individu.
al members Of the party to become
candidates for the nomination. No
organized body of Democrats, under
this system, can make nomination
without restricting, moro or less,
this freedom and such action on tho
part of regular club is incompatible
with the idea Or which the primary
election system is based, and violates
the spirit Of the rules and reguia
tions recently adopted for tho
H''oA h""oHo VI ouf paFCS.
You will therefore SO, to it til It
the utmost freedom DO allowed TO
tho monbers of your club, both as to
the nomination Of candidates for tho
party nominations, and supporting
their psrsonal p~cteren eos for tho
party nominations with their votes.
Candidates for our party nomina-
tions must be placed on their indie
vidual merits, and each member of
the party should evince his indi~
vidual choice III casting his sote.
No club or other organized body OF
Democrats should. by it's action as
such. obliyato it's members to vote
for any named candidate at a pri.
mary election. When, however, the
party nomination has been decided
at a primary election, by a majorit,
OF the votes cast, tho obligation q

Tea ~ u Poison.

The Journal of Chemistry asserts that tea is
not the simple; harmless beverage that is gene

with those Of tobacco and alcohol. The paper
also adds Many disorders Of the nervous sys-
TEN are tho direct result Of excessive tea
drinking. Tea is n narcotic poison = its essen
tial principles theme, is allied in composition
with such poisons as strychnne and morphia.
