Columbus Day in the Public Schools.

The outline of what Is proposed for Col
umhus bay is enough to Indicate two things :
Fir,t-That the official programme will
he 50 simple and can be - easily arranged
that no sch"J peea ,rrit till it is published
before beginning its own preparations for
the celebration.
Second--Ghat the object of the national
public school celebration of Columbus Day
needs the cordial cooperation of the citizens
generally in each locality in order to be
fully realized.
The executive committee has also sent
US few suggestions of practical nature
which will he of advantage to teachers and
all other friends of the celebration just at
present They are as follows:
First-A strong local committee should
be appointed at once. 1t would be well to
include in this committee not only the lead
ing school officials. but also editors
of the local press, army veterans and
lcadlng citizens who are known to favor
the celebration by the schools. Only
such Is are likely TO give earnest sup
port 10 the work should be appointed
Serond-The postof'ict address of the
chairman Of this local committee should be
sent to the office of the chairman of the
national executive committee Francis Bell
amy. Youths Companion office, Boston,
Mass . in order that the chairman of the
local committee may receive the official
programme and other communications.
Thrd-This committee should first see that
each school is provided with flag. the
salute to which will be the first feature of
the official programme. They should also
advise with each principal az to the best
way in which the celebration can he carried
on in his schoolbouse, arranging for speak
ers and suggesting exercises additional to
the official programme.
Fourth-This committee should also ar
range that the citizens celebration be made
to occur in the afternoon and should see
tina, the desired prominence is given 10 the
free school idea in public ceremonies.
Where no arrangements have vet been
made for a citizens celebration this com
mittee might themselves take the initiative.
/ and organize the afternoon demonstrations
As well ~ the morning observances IN the
schoolhouses.
! Fifth-The greater publicity that is given
to this committee. both in its formation and
IN its work the better Accordingly the
attention of the people generally must be
gained and their interest secured. Let the
people he freely invited To give sugges tions
and to send communications to the local
press as to the best conduct of the ceiebra-
ton.
Nixth-The committee should SEQ that
the editors of the lp1al papers are interested
III the movement. and the people informed
through the column, of these papers of the
celebration and what is being done to make
1t success.
In one word. this tooth anniversary of
America belongs to all the people. The
public schools take the lead because they
are the organization closest to the people
most characteristic of the people and fullest
of hone for the people.

The Salary Issue.
The Bnldefori journal. !


Candidate johnson. in his ALFRED speech
undertook to show the eNtravagant tentlen
ties of the Republicans of thi. county and
of the State. nv reading a hist of York
county officers with the salaries attached,
and figures showing that IN three instances
there had been an increase, in the past ten
years. amounting to the enormous sum of
$50 wear. In 1855 the salary of county
, attorney was increased from $50 to $3.50
. wear. This increase was petitioned for a.
right and proper by the entire bar of the
county regardless of politics. aud certain it is
that no lawyer of standing in this county
could afford to take the office for smaller
compensation. The salary of the clerk of
courts was increased SlJ0 in 1887. making
il >t5oo, Il slight advance that scarcely
keeps pace with the increase of clerical labor
and responsibility. Three years.ag the sal
AIRY of the judge of probate was raised from
500 To 800 year. 1t may in
terest Mr.. johnson to know that not
only this increase unasked for
by the incumbent of the office, Judge
Nathaniel Hobbs, but that 1t was strongly
advocated and voted for by leading York
county Democrats, members of the legisla-
ture rs a sum quite small enough to proper
" compensate the holder of an office of
such importance. So far as York county
Is concerned the raising of the question of
salaries is pointlcs- and petty, and denotesa
