this agreement, and our colored peo-
pie have patiently waited. The city
council will doubtless keep their tacit
pledge, but our colored citizens are
asking solid earnest of their inten-
tons in the matter. hope you will
urge immediate action on the part of
our Board Of Aldermen. 1t remains
only for me to say that whatever
buildings are erected should be of
brick, and all our buildings be
HEATED BY STEAM.
The labor, waste, danger and in
convenience of heating with stoves
is very great. Besides it is impossi-
BILE to thus heat the rooms thorough
ly, or to keep them at the proper
temperature. One part of Large

other too warm.

be possible to form the nucleus of a

LIBRARY
in each of the schools. If a small
room was fitted up for this purpose, a
great many good books could be plac-
ed there in few years. In this day,
when so many schoOl-bOys are suffer-
ing from the cigarette and the dime
novel, | believe the best thing we
can do is to give them plenty of base
ball and plenty of good, wholesome
literature. There can be no doubt
but majority of our boys who fall
into evil ways, do so chiefly from lack
of proper employment and proper
amusement. The English-speaking
race has for centuries craved and en-
jOyed the hardy sports that give mus.

GENERAL STATISTICS.


Average monthly costtuition per pupil SS4-5
The steady growth of the schools
for the last five years is no mean indi>
cation that they are at least in part
supplying the wants of the people;
and the fact that there has been such
large increase in both the enroll
ment and the daily attendance for
this term, shows that something has
served to popularize them more than
ever before in their history. The
schools in operation have been thor
oughly graded, and there can be no
doubt but your laws and instructions
in this respect have been thoroughly
carried out in all departments.
The wisdom of your course in re-
grading the schools has been salts
factorily demonstrated by the fruits
borne. The general improvement
has been marked; the largely increas.
ed daily attendance, the few tardies,
the small number Of absences, the
zeal for promotion manifested by pu-
pills heretofore dullest and most list.
less, have plainly shown the value Of
the new system.
The value and importance Of g
properly arranged
COURSE OF STUDY
can hardly be overestimated. There
can be no doubt that corps of teach
ers should be simply left to their owr
resources, and be allowed to teach
whatever they deem best, if a proper
course, full, complete, and thorough
is not arranged for their guidance
and which they shall be compelled t
follow. 1t is to the interest Of tn,
people, to the interest of the teacher
and of paramount interest to the stu
dent to have such an established
course.
J Now if such a course be arranged
it is obvious that proper textbook
should be selected, and that sucl
books be taken as are not mere eX
periments, but such as are undoubt

quirements of public school pupils

Trade arrangements have been nego-
tiated with Brazil and Spain, whereby
large concessions to the export trade
have been secured by the United States
in return for the admission to free
market for importations of coffee, sugar,
molasses and hides, amounting to $780,
600, 900. Similar negotiations are in an
an advanced state with Venezuela, Santo
Domingo and Hayti, by which the i'm
portations of the same class amounting
to $l3. 900 will be made the basis OF
equitable compensations in favor of
American export. When these three adj
ditional treaties are concluded there will
be remnant of something over Sl4, 000,.
900 in the imports of sugar, molasses,
coffee, and hides from the southern
countries 1.-THE British West Indies being
excluded), which will be reserved for a
final series of negotiations with Column
bia, the Central American States, Mexico,
Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay. If this
import trade be stated as 1925, 900, 900
in round numbers, it follows that four
ffths of it has already been used as
means of securing larger markets
for American exports, and that one.half
of the remaining fifth will speedily be
covered by commercial agreements with
Santo Domingo, Hayti and Venezuela.

which the local newspaper publisher
daily hears To oblige often costs con-

paper is a peculiar article in the public's
eyes. The news gatherer is stormcd

get another. Young men and often
young women, as well as older, perform
acts which become legitimate items for
publication, and then rush to the news

condemn the same paper for not having

The Enormous out,vsrai Flow Of Gold.

The Enormous Jutyy . ri Flow Of Gold.
The past week in financial circles has
been marked with feeling OF anxiety,
growing out Of the extraordinary flow Of
gold abroad; feeling which, though it
has greatly decreased, has not wholly
disappeared. The drain this year has
been nearly $4,000, 600, occasioned by
the necessities Of foreign countries. 1t
is great deal that the United States
should be able TO relieve the European
distress to such an extent, and it may be
said that in contributing to the relief OF
the necessities Of Europe We are prob.
ably averting Continental catastrophe,
which might be nearly as fatal to MS as
TO Europe. But this feeling of pride in
our national resources is not sufficient TO
ailay all the fears produced by the grave
financial situation abroad. The belief
that Europe cannot hoard this gold for
long; that, when it begins TO buy our
wheat and provisions to supply the de-
hciencies of its crops, it Wilt he obliged
to part with large part of the gold
drawn from America, has served to
diminish in some degree the fears caused
by the outward movement.
