the present policy OF our state board
OF education in abolishing COMPETE

Is well calculated 10 convert this de.

CONVENTION NOTES.
The number in attendance IA be-
tween $50 and 800. about onc-third of
these being ladies.
Several rcd-headed men can be seen
from the stage, but there are very few
bald heads, aud not one parts his hair
In the middle.
For taste in dressing neat, without
any great display OF tinery, the lady
teachers take the lead.
There are more real, Rood.looking
young ladies in the convention than
the EXAMINER reporter has ever had
the pleasure of seeing in any corporate
body.
The men are not too good-looking,
nut none of them arc archaeological
dudes" nor do thoy wear long hair.
There are very few of the school
marms who wear eyeglasses.

81 have a little girl" said the street car driver,
and it makes ne sick when every once in a while
| notice that she is growing big. 1t will be a
sorry day for me when she gets so big that she
has to be dignifed. Why? you ask. Well, it's
a plain enough case to me, though l don't won
der ut your failing to understand it. You see, |
live about half a mile from the the car track,
and my little girl brings ne my lunches twice a
day, and, as the lunches are fresh and
the coffee hot, of course, that is a
comfort. But that isn't anything compared
to the pleasure L get out of having her
ride Always with me on the platform. It's
against the rules Of the company for a driver to
carry OH conversation while on his car, but |
don't do it, bless you. She carries on the con
versation all by herself. She stands close be-
hind me and talks faster than the horses trot,
and never stops for stree is. either. She tells
me all about her mamma and home, aud the
neighbors, and herself, and the dog, and ! stand
there and hold my lines and twist the brake and
take it all in with delight. If it weren't for
that little girl | believe | should lose all racol-
lection OF my own home and it's surround
ings, as in this business we have to be up so
early and stay up so late. When that girl gets
so big and cignified that she can't make q run
