Picking Up Chips. ,

.
Now, Susan at the woed=pne,
With rosy checks aud lips;
And with her pretty apron on,
Was picking up some chips.
Jake came along, and halting,
And lifting up his hat,
And growing quite familiar,
They both began to chat.
AS Susan there was standing with
Her apron full of chips,
He seized, the happy moment,
And kissed her rosy lips.
She threw her hands up to her face,
RepeIling the assault;
And spilled her chips, but only said:
"Now, Jake, that was your fault"
Jake threw his hands above his'head,
Took to his heels to run,
And looked for dogs, or squirrel shot
Fired fromher daddy'sgun.
But Susan turned and softly said,
CThe best of things to 1nake.)
I'm picking up the chips right here,
Most every morning. Jake"

public schools, and it would not be good
policy to trust the entire expenditure Of
all this money to the women without any
Surveillance Of the men who furnish the
money. 1t would be reversing all mat
ters Of business, aud almost all customs
pertaining to financial affairs. The wo-
men oftimcs make the most excellent ex-
animation boards, when well educated
themselves. They make the most eff
cient teachers in certain branches; but
the public generally have not been fully
educated to believe that they can or will
make the best financicrs in school matters
or the most efficient managers OF mixed
schools, and we are not prepared to be-
lieve that the time has fully come when
it becomes the duty of the taxpayers in
our districts to entirely surrender the
school interests of these districts to the
WuuCu, Witubut ACsSlNC
From the cradle through the primary
school they are more successful than the
men, but beyond that advance they need
the cooperation of the men, except in
few cases, to have their labors crowned
with success. We are not yet prepared
to endorse the idea, publicly advanced in
Lewiston, that in order to have public
schools we must elect women as directors.
We think such claim on the part #
any women or any class Of women, is too
exacting on their part, and that it is
much more than intelligent men are quite
ready to concede, with all their respect
for the women Of our land, with their
advanced education aud refinement.

SCHOOL ELECTION

The school election on Monday was
mystery. It's results were hi Ill is.
factory to the friends of the public school
in this district. There is history of
this matter which needs explanation. 1t
is the duty of every good citizen to take
sufficient interest in the public schools to
always strive to elect suitable persons to
manage and govern the schools and pro-
gress them in education to that extent
contemplated by our school laws, which
public taxation fosters and maintains,
and to this extent there should be no
other schools that would out strip them.
This is due to the children of the tax
payers and all their friends. Otherwise
the public schools fall short of what was
intended by the law makers of the coun-
try who have devised and made laws to
govern the management and control of
schools supported by the taxation of the
people Instead of all citizens promptly
coming forward and taking personal in
terest in seeing that their money is judi.
ciously expended in having good teachers,
boards of management and other officers,
they pay their taxes and then seem to
neglect all else, till after time, some
thing goes wrong and then they wake up
as from dream to find that their school,
are not efficient and prosperous as they
should be; scholars are not progressing
and they begin to complain and find
fault with the officers, when in fact they
should have been more alternative to the
elections and voted for none who were in
competent or indisposed to serve the pub
lie faithfully and economically. Hence
nothing in the machinery of our govern
ment demands closer attention of the vo
ters than the duty of selecting the right
material for the management of the
schools. Nothing requires more vigilance
on the part of school boards than to see
that schools are well provided with com
petent and efficient teachers and conven
lent and healthy school houses, aud use
ful apparatus needed in the school room
1t is mistaken notion that any class o.
men will make good school trustees Of
that such matters ought to be left to tn,
women OF the community entirely, no
that women have and feel no deep inter
est in such matters, and in many instance
are not in some respects better qualifiet
than many men who aspire for such pc
sitions. But We don't believe the mel
are entirely disqualified from acting a,
school trustees and school boards, and al
teachers, although the women of thi
age are fast approximating to an equalit,
with the men in some branches of schoo
matters. But then, the men are require,
