think that all mothors must console
themselves with the fact that no system OF
education can be absolutely perfect.
Neither are we nor our children perfect.
One thing should never be lost sight OF;
that we are educating children to be men
and women, not to be children.
We can do no better than to develop
them into what nature has intended them
10 be; we cannot successfully make them
what we should prefer. Let us accept
our children as the kind of people they
are by nature. Do not let them feel that
their faults are uppermost in our minds
wber we think of them. The person who
is happy surely faces the world at great
advantage; the person who Is unhappy
often has doubts and susricions and bit
terness. Let us try TO give our children
the advantage Of happiness, and, though
we have no personal motive, We shall

The Recount of the City Will Close
in a Few Days.
When Special Agent Wardle closed
down yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock
there were twenty-six districts not re-
ported completed. 1t was expected that
many of these outstanding districts
would be completed before the enumer-
ators Quit work last evening. All the
341 districts will certainly be reported
completed Monday or Tuesday at the
very latest. No one knows what the
actual count is. Il have never touched
the returns since Monday evening""
Mr.. Wardle remarked yesterday, and if
he does not know what the actual count
is no one else does Shoals of letters
are being forwarded to the census COM
mittee from citizens claiming that they
have not been enumerated. 1t is essen
tial that every person who knows he
has not been enumerated, OF even thinks
he has not, should report the same to
the census committee. There is no time
for delay. The special agent and his
assistants will at once inaugurate
thorough investigation of reported non-
enumerationS, and as soon as that in
vestlgation is completed the recount
will be closed. Mr.. Wardle says his
experience proves that nine out of
every ten people who report they have
not been enumerated are found included
in the schedules.

Proposition to Establish an In
dustrial School for Women.
A laudable movement has been set on
foot by number of prominent ladies of
the city, the object of which is to estab-
lish an industrial school for women, in
which cooking and all branches OF
homework will be taught. That the
need of such school being established
will be readily understood by those ladies
who have experienced difficulty in Sc
curing competent cooks and servants.
1t will also be great benefit to the
great number of young women
who come to the city looking
for employment. aud who are
forced into the overcrowded ranks
of clerks and office and stor9
workers. It is felt that if funds can be
secured to establish such an institution
