The schoolgirls at Stamford, Conn,
have by self-sacrifce secured and
opened summer home for the New
York shop girls, and several hundred of
these servants of the shopping public
will be entertained at the home this
summer. This may not strictly belong
to the curriculum of the school, but it
is an excellent illustration that board
ing schools and colleges, while furnish
ing higher education for girls do not
create gulf between them and their
less fortunate sisters which cannot
be bridged by sympathy practically ex-

going to the wall SO rapidly Of late in
Philadelphia. Very littleof this money
will ever go back to THE artisans and
working people who paid it. Most OF
those who went into these get-rich-

experience shows how ready people
are to speculate when the cost is small
and the returns promised large, and
how little attention is paid to which
way the odds lie until it is beyond their
power to retrace their steps.

PEOPLES PARTY
Not In It with Sew England Farmers.

Not In It With New England Farmers.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July 9.-An ex-
tended canvass by the New England
Homestead shows that the new Peoples
party is not endorsed by the farmers OF
New England and New York. The men
interviewed were all prominent farmers.
While some favor more independent po-
litical action than heretofore, nearly all
oppose the idea OF special farmers
party. One or two go so far as TO say
that this party is very conservative
and II the right platform is put
forward will draw ten per cent.
of the farmers votes in their
sections in Maine and New York State,
but the majority place this number far
lower, from one TO two per cent. being
the average. The sub-treasury bill
and the loaning of the new issues OF
paper by the government on land values
are looked upon as wild schemes, and
the free coinage of silver has but small
following. The opinion in general
shows the strength Of the position long
held by the Changers and carried out
by the farmer league, that the farmers
movement liz this section OF the coun-
try will consist more in independent ac-
ton through the old parties than in
forming any new party.

Training for the Schools.
Sgsciag telegram 90 ne Register.
BUCKHANAN, July 9.-The proceed
ings OF the State Teachers Convention
continues TO be interesting. At last
nights session Miss Beulah Boyd, Of
the Fairmont Formal School, read
paper on Literary Training for the
Schools" She said in substance:
All mankind seek perfection, the
use we should make OF lie has been the
puzzle OF all ages. The Egyptians and
Greeks Svnaholizod this IN the Sphinx.
The tendency OF that today Is toward
spposticism, but the remedy 1t the public
school. All the evils In busy politics,
the lack of correct literary taste
In the masses can be at least ameliora-
ted by teaching literature all the way
through the school. The teachers read
ing should bo reformed. The many
school Journals now published are doing
much along this line.
The School Boards should provide
supplementary reading, and principals
should make out regular course ana
assign two or three authors 20 each
room. The birthday of authors can be
celebrated by essays and recitatlons.
Reading circles for children have been
formed In some schools and the parents
asked TO assist. Good papers, such as
the Youths CmpCNi01t, can oe taken by
a room and then passed around,
Bnt books such as ESop'S Fables,
Prince and Pauper, Swiss Family Rob
inson. and the works Of Lougfelow,
Hawthorne and Macauley should be sub
stituted for most of the readers.
The profession Of the pedagogue has
been somewhat ridiculed. But we have
p great work before Us. We feel we are
weak for the task, but we can lead the
pupils and divinely inspired OF ali ages,
who can help them and Us also. The
task IS a great one, but II we make the
effort fire from heaven will fall and
light our sacrifice.
Prof. John Roemer, Of Fairmont, led
in the discussion in an earnest speech
fned with thoughtful suggestions on
the relative value OF Stedies and the
trpe end aimed at in their pursuit.
On the choice OF science and math-
e-,atics let 10 be the latter. 1 shall
welcome the day when boards OF educa-
lion will start libraries in every school,
bnt teachers cannot wait for theirs.
There is no greater JOY to me than a
