Caldwell-Why do you not declare his
place vacant?
Campbell-He can not be here all the

half mill for sinking fund and no interest
fund levy as there is enough on hand TO
meet that demand.
Brown-I would favor a levy Of mills
for general purposes. No one will be in
convenienced more in paying taxing than
| will, but let US bear in mind that we will
have to rent buildings, improve buildings
and we scarcely know what burden OF tax
will be put on US. l want to express my
Judgment that it will be true economy to
make levy OF mills.
VanNess-In our estimates l think we
have been very liberal and have
levied eight or nine thousand dol
lars more than necessary if all paid in
and this is enough allowance for abate-
ments and other reductions. This gives us
our or five thousand more than we need
and is not our desire to collect more than
is absolutely needed, but certainly want
enough money to run the schools IN a
proper manner.
Campbell-Would like to amend by
making the tax levy for general purposes

Brown proved a second and Campbell in
brief argument favored his amendment.

A Poser for Free Traders.

A day or two ago a report of one OF
our consuls was published, giving
the wages paid in certain Irish
flax mills. They were for men
from 1915 to S5 per week, for wo-
men weavers So to 1915; for wo-
men spinners, 81 to $3.50. When
the recent Tariff Commission
questioned the manager Of q New
Jersey fax spinning mill as to the
pay of the operatives, he replied
"The average per hand is about
$3.50 week. We employ girls
from u years of age upwards, and
some of them make $40 a week.
Children make 50 or 81 a week. A
man can make $50 to 50 a day"
This is another Of those cold
hard facts which the tarih reform
ors of the free trade school are
apt to touch on lightly, but they
have vastly more weight with the
great mass of our working people
than the glittering generalities Of
Mr.. Lowell and the entertaining
nonsense of Mr.. Stearns.-Bos,

A Magnificent Water Power.

The water power at Minneapolis
since developed to its present capa-
city, has only $4,000 horse power.
At the town of Great Falls, Mont,
the Great Falls of the Missouri
furnish over 25O,OOO available
horse power. With an extensive
grain and stock country rapidly
developing on one side; an abund-
ance of timber, coal, and magnif-
cent quarries close at hand; and ex-
tensive mining districts only few
miles away with their great guam
titles of ores to be reduced, and
large population requiring food,
heat and shelter, Great Falls
seems beyond question destined
to soon become an industrial cen
ter of magnitude, now that it has
secured railroad communication

Itis somewhat Of surprise to
most of us to find n book Of this

ing from Texas, a state Of which
we usually think as a ranging
ground for cattle and COW boys
and wholly occupied with the low
er forms of material culture, as
yet unripe for what is higher and
later in order of civil development

much as they have been delivered
from year to year before his class

it stands, we think that teaching
must have been much better than
tits in most schools of the same
class elsewhere. 1t is evident that
the author has a high conception
of teaching, and has tiled, We
think with good success, to make
an important and rather difficult
subject living and real to his
classes. The book is not intended
for college students, nor for those
capable of G asping the outlines OF
a subject without much illustra-
ton. 1t is meant for pupils who
have attained the grade of culture
to be expected in the second year
of an ordinary normal or high
school course. The language is
simple and there is much illustra.

mode of teaching apt to be mis-
leading, but perhaps helpful tc
young students. To each chapter
are appended suggestive study.
