Pay For School Holidays.

A question has arisen 10 several Of
the school boards throughout tbe
State regarding the pay Of teachers
and the closing OF schools on Mon
day. when that day is observed as q
holiday that properly occurs on the
Sunday preceding. Under the Law
the schools are to be closed on all
legal holidays which occur on regu-
lar school days. A rule Of the De-
partment Of Public Instruction, re-
Gently promulgated, states that nc
Monday directly following a legal
bolidey which occurs on Sunday shall
be regarded as school holiday. and
il is entirely optional with the dircc-
tors and teachers whether tue
schools shall be clesed on these
days.

After reading the above rule. for

certain how the rule has taken from

il is obvious that the jist OF the Re-

the present conferee system and the
adoption Of o system in force in a few

to each county conferee in proportion
to it's Republican vote. Should this

ness We would ask, how will tho
above plan obviate trading. On the
contrary, it looks as though that is
the sole object Of adopting the new

How t, Abolish Beggary.

A correspondent OF one Of our con-
'emporarios recently asked United
States Senator Stanford, OF Califor-
MIA, what could bo done 10 this coun
Try to abolish boggary. The answer
# tie philauthropic millionaire was
Is follows
There is only one way. Dry up
he source--abolish the conditions
hat make beggars. To t,y to cure
poverty by street charity is like try
ng to s.op hole 10 your roof b,
hopping up the puddiiog that gath
er on your aoor. Nobody is worse
# because the Vauderbilts are
worth 5000 100000. q. If they bad
not the wealth it would not exist AT
al. 1t is only in those communities
where milliouaires are possible that
the average citizen has enough 10
eat. Now, what causes poverty !?
|. Ignorance of how TO save money
I found beggars iu California in 1850,
when a1y mau C ,uld go out with q
tin pan and earn S5 before breakfast
When by working three hours day
man could make his board aud
clothes, there were always shftless
creatures around whom the rest had
TO support. 1t is the came way now.
The coil is wonderfully fruitful there.
Merely 10000 men produce oil the
wheat of tho State and export 900. :
900 tons OF it every year, ana yei
there arc beggars. We can cut,
thrash, AMI sack wheat at an expense
Of one and half cents per 10C
pounds, potatoes cost only half a
cent pound, aud flour is only 81 Il
barrel, aud yet there is want. An
important cause is untbri!t. People
do not understand economy or prac-
tlce it as almost every rich man has
ad to some time in his life. lrcally
,elieve that there would be beggars
in the world before night if $50 gold
pieces were to be sown broadcast
every .mornirg, aud 80 distribute, d
that every man, woman, aud child
we're certain to get some.
2. The sale and use Of liquor. As
long as there are ten times as many
saloons in the country as there ar,
# both churches and sch ools, and
they are mainly supported by th.
very poor, the sources Of misery orc
pretty obvious.
3. A lack of manual training
This last need is most serious. i
80 many people could be taugh,
trades that the entire product of thi'
country we're doubled next year, the
wages would be doubled, either il
increase of money received or in thu
smaller cost of the necessities Of lif,
to be bought. More capable, skill
ed hands-that is one Of our great
est needs. My great hope is in m,
university, which / wish to build &c
tall aud deep aud broad that tb,
rudinents of every trade aud occu'
patton may be taught. When every
body knows how 10 do some difllcul
and useful tLing, poverty will rapid
ly diminish.
