mately 1,5OO to 800. The branches
have from $50 to 200 each. This year
| the board has made all the branches in
that city full-course high schools, so
that any pupil in any part of fifty-five
square miles of territory can cas-
lily take course that will pre-
pare him for college, business or the
mechanical occupations. If distributed
exactly in their respective centers, each
pupil could reach a high school by
travelling mile and four-fifths. With
| the full courses now in all the schools,
the attendance next year will nearly, or
| quite reach 1900 in the four schools.
The pleasant part of this splendid sys-
| TEN is that the expense is considerably
less per pupil, for those educated in the,
so-called branch schools, than in tine
central.
What is our own situation? We have
| central high school, and two more with
a single years course. Even these are
so located that the western half of the
| territory of the city, about five and
them. As result, the high school at
tendance is one to twenty of the whole
enrolment. In the other city. it is one
to thirteen, and next year it is likely to
be one to ten or eleven. Why?
Experience shows that pupils living
more than a mile or two from high
school do not often attend. 1t is too
great strain upon their strength, and
perhaps upon their means. The branch
high schools do not decrease the attend
ance at the central, because those who
attend would, but for them, stay at home.
st. Paul should have, and would have
with proper facilities, 1900 children in
her high schools within two years.
Every citizen would be benefited by
such a condition, not only in material
things, but by the higher tone of thought
which marks the diffusion of better
general education. 1t is not question
of great expense; we simply are to de-
eide whether we wish the facilities
which others enjoy without additional
cost. DO we wish the present branch
schools to be made full course schools,
and one or more others TO be opened
where most needed?
The day has passed when it is becom-
ing, i'll a republic. to claim that the
masses should not have all the education
they can be led to desire. Men know
too little, not too much, for the good of
society. The idle surplus is the I'M
learned and unskilled. Our school syS-
TEN has lately received much adverse
criticism. 1t behooveS us to make it
deserve highest praise and command
public confidence, both byits excellence
and its extent. One teacher can attend
to high school class of thlrty-five or
forty pupils in branch school, and of
that number one-half, OF two. thirds
either, could not or would not attend the
central for any length of time. In foul
years we could have, If fnli courses
were allowed, at least IT'S pupils, fair
sized high school in each branch, to be
a center of educational interest and to
raise the Intellectual standard of the
locality.

DEFENSE OF WALKER.
The Western Traffic Chairman and
the Newspapers.

CHICAGO, June 12.-Some of the local
papers this morning made an unwar-
ranted attack on Chairman A. F. Walk
er, of the Western Traffic association,
in which that official is accused of issu
ing an order to the general managers of
the Western roads denounclng the prac-
tice of giving information to newspaper
representatives. Mr.. Walker is entirely
guiltless of any such proceeding. He
issued circular, as he and other chair
man have done before, warning over
Jealous traffic officials against the prac
tice of revealing to shippers the pro-
ceedings OF their private meetings, and
thus creating prejudice against other
roads because of their votes on certain
measures. Chairman Walker has in
variably treated the newspaper repre-
sentatiyes with courtesy and fairness,
especially in Chicago railroad circles.

FORGED COUPONS.
Cook County Officials Discover a
Crooked Deal.

SOON OOhhSy DESCOESf Il
Crooked Deal.
CHICAGO, June 12.-The discovery
was made yesterday that two in
terest coupons of 4 per cent bonds
issued by Cook county in 1889 and 1890
were duplicates of coupons already re-
deemed. 1t was at first supposed that
the coupon numbers had been dupIi-
Gated through a clerical error at the
time of issue, but investigation to-day
shows that the coupons are forgeries,
ana not very clever ones at that.
Fortunately they are only 50 each, being
the semi-annual interest on $500 bond.
How extensively the forgery has been
practlced, or whether it has been ex-
tended to the bonds, is not yet known.
These bonds are among those issued by
the county, and the discovery does not
affect the city bonds.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
j. F. Duval, chief engineer of J. G. But
lers tobacco works, has, after twenty two
years of hard work. invented a flying ma
chine. Mr.. Duval is backed in the enter.
prise by Ellis R. Smith, of Sadalia, sheriff
of Pettis county, and Allen Y. Taylor, the
engineer who draws the fast mail on the
Missouri Pacific ROAD. He has Just received
patents on the air-ship dated July 3.
The model is a tish-shaped gas bag twenty
feet long, the total weight of which, in
GLIDING ten-pound gas engine, is only
twenty-five pounds. Propeller wheels are
set in front aud rear, and are so made that
they can be used for either steering or pro-
pulsion. Two men are necessary to man
age the ship, oae being stationed at either
end. inside the bag OF pure hydrogen is
another bag containing sulphureted hydro
gen, which contributes greater buoyancy
and which feeds the gas engine located on
the platform or car at the bottom. Mr..
Duval claims that his invention is prior to
that of any other air-ship using gas bag to
secure buoyancy.
