Getting the Ladies Interested.
The directors of the Washington
schools, Seventeenth ward, have an excel
lent scheme in hand to foster more interest
among the patrons of the three schools Of
the ward. and recognizing the ability which
the female mind has to see what the mascu-
line would overlook, have appointed
monthly committees of six ladies, two for
each building, who will visit the schools
and send in written reports to the board on
the condition of the schools. Mrs. DR..
Marques, Mrs. Hays, Mrs. George Irwin, Mrs.
DR.. Libby, Mrs. McMoran and Mrs. Calhoun,
the committee for last month, were compli-
mented on the report they submitted to the
board last week. They gave valuable sug-
gestions on the ventilaring of the buildings,
etc. The personnel OF the ladies' committee
will change each month.
How . Teacher Saw Mckinley.
There was one Pittsburg teacher who
was as much interested in the election of
Mckinley as any Ohioan. Several years
ago, when Major Mckinley was running for
this teacher was visiting in Can
ton. At church, everv Sunday while she
was there, the sexton concluded his prayer
with "Oh, Lord have Major Mckinley
elected" She was anxious to see q man who
had such an ardent admirer. SO while walk
ing from church she said to her companion,
also stranger in Canton: "Oh, I'd like so
much to see Major Mckinley"
A few PAGES ahead Of them was gentle
man who could hear her remark. He turned
around, and raising his hat, said; Madam,
I am Major Mckinley" and IL was the great
tariff advocate.
