Some worry poorly wrapped cotton having
come to the compress here, and the press
having been forced to pay charges for the
accomplishing and wrapping OF such cotton
at New Orleans, which had been rejected
by the ships, Capt. Renwick, the superin-
tendent of the press, issued a circular letter
to buyers stating that in future he would
rewrap such cotton and charge the cost Of
same to them. The report was Immediately
circulated throughout the country that the
press was charging $500 per bale for COM
pressing cotton wrapped in cotton bagging
This is, of course, bald perversion OF the

protect itself and the letter was written for
the sole purpose of putting buyers on their
guard. The same old prices obtain whether
the cotton is covered in cotton bagging or
jute, but the covering must be substantial.

TO REFORM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SOCIETY WANTS !
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE TO INvEsTI
GATE THEM

A rumor has been in circulation for several
days that memorial is to be presented to the
| Legislature asking the appointment of COM
mittee to investigate the public school methods
Of the city. The members of the Board OF Edu-
cation denied any knowledge of such a measure.
| This was attributed by some to the committee
which has been investigating the school methods
and which reported on them last week. Com
missioner Henry l. Sprague, who is one of the
most active members OF that committee, said that
he bad not heard of any proposition to ask the
Legislature to investigate the school methods, and
be should be opposed to such action.
am thoroughly IN favor Of reform in the
schools" said Mr. Sprague, and have been iden-
titled with such efforts as have been made in
the Board; but see no reason why we should
ask for legislative committee to inspect the
schools. / don't know that such action would
do good l think that twenty-one men who are
selected by the Mayor for that purpose are, or
should be. thoroughly competent to direct the
schools. What the schools have most to contend
against parochial and private schools,
and everything should be done, believe TO make
the school methods equal to those that are fol-
lowed in such schools"
Miss Grace II. Dodge who is also a member of
the Committee on Reform in School Methods. said
that she had heard of no measure which proposed
to ask the Legislature to investigate the schools.
She thought the idea had become confused with
a memorial which the Pubic Education Society
of the city was about to present TO the Board
of Education. This society was organized last
summer. and had no connection with the schools.
One of the principals of the public schools said
yesterday that this society had prepared a memor-
al which it intended 10 present TO the Board of
Education at its last meeting, but which would be
sent TO the Board at its next meeting.
This memorial contains O number of sugges-
tons in Iegard TO the reform OF school methods
These suggestions have been an outgrowth Of
the investigations Of the society. They relate TO
confusion as the liquor laws; they do not enable
the scholars to follow the practical training which
is essential to useful development. The memor-
ial also proposes the appointment OF leg1s-
ative commission to revise the school laws and
TO investigate the school system, with view to
bringing II up to date. The Board will have
this suggestion presented for its own consideration
and action and can recommend the suggestions TO
the lie gislature not as IL sees fit.
President Simmons was asked il he knew any
thing Of this memorial and he said that be
had not heard Of 10. but IL it presented any sub
jects that needed legislative investigation he would
favor IL, although he did not approve OF adopt
ing such measure hastily
The next meeting of the Board OF Education, on
Wednesday, will be a special meeting 20 consider
the report of the Committee ON School Reforms
