The owners of the cows that Craze on
the lots near the depot should be more care
full of their animals or an accident will
have to be reported shortly. They very
often wander on the tracks of the p w. 4,
b. railroad, endangering not their own lives
alone but those of travellers in the cars. Sew
eral times the station agent has had to get
up at night and drove them away from the
tracks, as the whistle of the engines fail to
start them off. This is certainly great
nuisance, and we believe the owners of the
cows will make efforts to abate it when they
hear of the fact.
The Maryland Independent finds few
objections to the popular educational
system of the present time. 1t states
that if all the suggestions made about
popular education are adopted the daily
curriculum of the public school in 1900
will be about as follows: One hour
sewing, one hour washing and ironing,
one hour cooking, one hour table setting
and other branches of house keeping,
one hour music, one hour dancing, one
hour painting, one hour modelling and
sculpture, one hour reading, one hour
writing, one hour arithmetic, one hour
bookkeeping, one hour Industrial educa-
ton, one hour civil governn emf, one
hour each on geography, algebra, trigo-
nometry, Latin, Greek, French, German,
botany, astronomy, tariff and free trade,
farming and the weather. If the scholar
of 1900 has any time to spare probably
some enthusiast will suggest the study
of electricity, ;erial navigation and the
nebular hypothesis. Don't crowd the
children.
