The Model schGot sVGu=".

The Committee which was appoint.
ed at the last meeting OF the Asscci-
alton to make report upon the sub
ject Of school building or arohitec-
ture, begs leave to make the following
suggestions:
1st. The width Of school room
should be to its length about in tae pre-
portion Of to 3. or it should be : as
wide as it is long; for example.
if the room is to be 80 #. long
it should be 20 #. wide. Tie ceiling
should be about 10 #. in height for q
room 20X30, and should be slightly
increased as the dimensions Of tie
room exceed this size.
2nd. There should be at least three
windows in the side Of a room Of the
size mentioned above. The door or
doors should be IN one end, and the
teachers seat or desk should be
placed at the opposite end Of the
room, in which there should be neither
window nor door.
3rd. The pupils desks should he
so arranged as to leave broad aisle
from the door to the teachers seat,
and a narrow aisle on each side next
the wall.
4th. The room should he cciled.
and the ceiling at the end where the
teacher sits and the sides should be
painted for q blackboard.
9Th. The building should be put
upon a firm foundation, and special
care taken that the floor be so sup
ported as not TO shake when there is
any moving about.
The committee bcgs leave to make
these few suggestions, which are ne
cessarily ola general nature, but which
cover the most common defects in
the plans of our school houses.

The above report, which explains
itself, was unanimously adopted by
the Association at its meeting last
Saturday. 1t is not intended to be
a complete report as to all the requi-
sites of q model school house, bat
will serve as a very useful supple
ment to the correct notions Of school
architecture that are commonly recog-
nized. We hope that those commu-
mites that have not yet built com
Portable school-houses, will adopt the
suggestions offered in the above re-
port when they come to forming
plans Of their buildings.

THE WRONG A
A Green-Looking Stranger who Wore
Out Three Confidence Men.

"Why, Mr.. Smith, how do you doP
1t has been 80 long since l saw you
down at Alton, that 1 had almost for
gotten you," said a confidence man,
stepping up to Jones, who was rather a
rustic looking man, and shaking him
warmly by the hand.
MY friend, you are a little off there"
said Jones, ''my name is Brown. and
Pm from GAINESVILLE"
30, beg your pardon. You look SO
much like my old friend Smith that L
could have sworn that it was he.n And
number one walked hurriedly away.
Jones had proceeded but a few blocks
when he was accosted by number two.
"Well, well! If this isn't my old friend
Brown, from GAINESVILLE. When did
you come DOWN. Left all the folks
we'll, 1 s%uppose?"
"My dear sir, you are mistaken. I'm
not Brown, from GAINESVILLE; I'm Greene
from Peru"
",Pon my life, but you look just
like Mr.. Brown, and am SO anxious
to see him."
Number two passes quietly out of
sight, and soon number three comes
across Jones. standing leisurelyi in front
of the hotel. Sure of his cue, he pro-
ceeds:
"Hello, Green, old boy, found ut lastl
I've been looking all Yer the city for
you, and, by lingo, here you are. Let's
step around the corner and take some

HUNTING THE
The Once Welcome Bird Now a
Martyr to h Ingratitude of
Republics.

For a few years after sparrows were
first introduced to this country there
was a big business done in them, and
orders for consIgnments of the birds
came from the East, West and South.
In those days there was a cunning old
policeman whose heart lay In Washing
ton square and he made considerable
money during the sparrow boom. The
little stranger was not then accustomed
to the cute ways of the New York
knights of the locust, and it is said that
the officer nearly doubled his salary by
erecting little houses for his feathered
friends up in the trees and IobbIng the
nests of their young before the birds
we're able to fly. He brought the
Youngsters up by hand in coops in his
back yard, and when they were old
enough to take TT of themselves he
sold them to Western buyers at fancy
prices.
An instance of the ''ingratitude Of
r~epublics'' must be recorded in the
case of the ~pugnacious British bird.
He was welcomed and Toasted when he
first made his appearance. The Legs.
lature passed a law making 1t a mis-
demeanor to kill him. The Park Com
missloners appropriated money to house,
feed and water him. and in every way
he was as tenderly cared for as human
beings are In the hotels on Blackwell's
Island. But a change has taken place.
Director Conklin, of the Central Park
menagerie, freed twenty pairs of the
birds In Central Park in the spring of
1865, six pairs in Trinity ~churchyard,
six pairs in Washington Park, and six
pairs in Union square. He thought

breaking utensils, filed out of the Au'

merchant had a collection of watering
mouths around his cart. The plug

spouted a clear sparkling stream of

a howl. Some joker on the road, the
man explained. had exchanged his key

a very mad man and he bought cigars
for the crowd, before he drove away to
find the man who had turned maple
syrup into water after the manner OF

then lie was opening a fountain Of bless
ings on the country, and he has often
said so since. But recently his tune
was different. In discussing the spar
row question with a reporter, he gave
utterance to this heartless language:
"If the sparrows continue to increase
as rapidly as they have been dong of
late, we shall have to do as they did in
France and Pru3sia-put q bounty up
on their heads. The farmers say the
sparrows are running them by eating up
their grain as quickly as it Is planted,
aud by their aggressive behavior they
are driving many Of our song birds
away. At first we had but a few doz-
en- to destroy the insects, and we new
supposed they woule eat US out OF house
and home and attack our pretty song
sters. But they are doing this; doing
1t by individual daring and cunning;
doing 1t by the hoTdes in which they
appear"
GLOW numerous are they nowP"
sit would be as easy TO count the
rain drops"
"How can these little fellows capture
the grain planted under the groundp"
"They know just where it is planted
and dig up the earth with their tiny
claws. One or two sparrows can do no
harm, but when they descend like a
black cloud on a wheat field there won't
be much of a crop left to spring up"
"What song birds have they driven
away from the ParkP'
They have made wal on oursmall early
songsters, including the yellow bird,
the bluebird, and other warblers. There
is scarcely q bluebird to be seen here
now, where q few years ago they were
quite numerous. The sparrow5 have
even attacked the robins, thrushes and
catbirds, but these can hold their own
against them"
HWhy have the Park officers come to
be known as the sparrow police?"
"Don't know, unless it is that they
are paid to protect the sparrows.
The director of the menagerie said
that sparrows were now to be found, in
great numbers, in all the large cities
and towns east of Salt Lake City. They
are particularly strong In st. Louis and
it's vicinity. In some localities in the
interior of the State of New Jersey the
sparrow is in great demand as IN ar
ticle of food, and sparrow pie is re-
garded as a great dellcacy. The birds,
as a rule, are plump and fat. The pro-
fessional hunters usually perform their
work at night in the vicinity of hay
ricks, where sparrows pass the night.
The method pursued in catching them,
which is known as bat-fowling, requires
the presence of four sportsmen. One
carries a long heavy stick with which
he beats the sides of the rick and
starts the game. Another bears a Ian
tern at the end Of a long pole toward
which the birds fly when awakened
from sleep. The other two hold close
against the roosting haunt of the birds
a wide-mouthed net into which the
sparrows dash bewildered by the noise
and dazzled by the light. Sparrows
are too cunning to be taken in traps
and the method described is the most
effective one yet discovered to take
them alive. Great numbers Of them
are shot down daily on the farms by
men and boys engaged for that special
purpose. They are IS unpopular with
the farmer as the muskrat or barn rat.
