fund is so perniclous that the cheapest
teachers are the only applicant.
The faults Of the American public
school system, however, are all on the
surface and can easily be remedied.
State superintendent and high educa-
Gators generally are giving TO all the
weakness discernible in our system
their careful attention. They are de-
termined that the new century shall
open I'D an educational plant as near
~ without defects as progressive energy
can make IL.
The public school Is our most distinc-
tive American institution. 1t is this
same public school which, more than
race, has made the difference be
tween this republic and the republics
of South America. When the world
gathers here at our 400th anniversary
TO scrutinize our life this, our proudesi
institution, will be pointed out as the
clearest source Of American greatness
and enlightenment.
IL is very fitting thing that the cell
ebration OF Columbus Day, October l2,
be placed in the hands OF the American
public schools. Through the school
house flag movement, and the education
in patriotism aroused by 1t, the schools
of the republic have been grasping the
significance OF their relation to the life
of the nation. AS our IL, 900, 900 OF pub
lie school pupils see committed 10 them

anniversary, they will receive a new
and inspiring lesson In the Responsible
ties Of public leadership which devolve:
upon the educated American.

when one-fourth instead OF one-ftth Of
its population will be enrolled in the
schools. Here is the place for State
legislation to make rapid and sure
strokes. When the children Of poor
family are hired out for wages there
comes an apparent relief TO the
family; but child labor invariably re-
duces the wages Of adults. Raising the
school age always operates to raise the
wages of the man and WOMB I TO whom
labor belongs. In the States not yet
awake to this the children who ought 20
be in school are with their little hands
holding down the general rate OF adult
wages. II fifteen were made the uni
versal school age, with strict penalties
for hiring child under fifteen during
school hours, millions OF toiling chill
dren would be added 10 the hopeful ma
ton of pupils now in the public schools.
Who are the instructors of this vast
democracy OF youth? Three hundred
and ffty-two thousand teachers are en-
ployed. One-third OF them are men,
two-thrds are women. The men are
usually well trained. The proportion OF
trained female teachers is increasing
year by year, as the normal schools send
out their classes. Nevertheless, scores
OF thousands of these female teachers
are'untrained. They are absolutely In
competent. Forty per cent. OF all the
female teachers teach for only one term!
Think what that means. In the rural

All the sentiment is taken out of po-
etry If heard in the printing office. The
following is specimen Of how the read
ing boy deals with the productions OF
the poet laureate in the way of business:
'Double quotes you small caps mus

This apparent iargon being the re-
suit of reading by leaps and points"
to secure accuracy. Com. is the read
er's contraction for comma, sem. for
semicolon, pros. for apoStropho, and so
on.
This method Of reading does not i'm
prove Tennyson's "Queen OF the May"

it.-PriRtcr'S Register.

American Art at Chicago.

Plans have been made for historical
American art exhibition, to be held In
Chicago at the time Of the Columbian
Fair, says the New York Sun. Phllo
ID. Beard, cousin Of William ID.
Beard, the artist, said:
''For years il has been my wish to see
q national art exhibition which would
set forth in a historical manner the lie
and progress Of American art from Its
beginning down to the present time.
Ny cousin became interested in the
idea. and the plan is this: 1t is pro-
posed that the best works OF all the
painters, past and present, who have
Impressed their individuality upon the
art of the nation shall be col
lected. The exhibition is to be
held in cyclorama build
ing on a Wabash avenue. II is pro-
posed to divide the building by a gallery
thirty feet from the ground floor. This
will give us too floors. Beginning with
Copley, West, Trumbull, Aliston and
other earlier painters, and coming
down to the present time, IL is proposed
TO exhibit the works Of each artist in q
group. We will have space for from
forty TO one hundred such groups. In
addition TO the cyclorama building, "
said Mr.. Beard, "the syndicate has de-
termined TO build a fre-proof building
for the reception of one or more pic
lures from each OF the most prominent
artists Of the present day. The syndl-
cate has a fund OF $3.50, 900 for the erec-
eion OF this second gallery" President
Seth Low, OF Columbia College, and
Park Goodwin were seen relative to the
proposed exhibition, and spoke heartily

An Editor on Billiards.

Tylsr County star.
A man by the name of Conway APP
piled to the County Court this week for
leave to get license to keep a billiard
table in Sisterville for public use. The
Court at first gave the desired permit,
but on reflection and consideration res
cinded the order, which was the proper
thing 10 do. We don't need pubic gam
bling bells in Tyler any more than we
need licensed saloons, or any other such
evil. The influence OF such places in a
community is wholly evil, and should
be prohibited, and will be 80 long as our
present County Court controls matters
of this kind, as every member OF that
body is opposed to all and every kind Of
evil that lowers the moral tone OF the
people, and works nothing to the ad-
vantage and lettering Of the individual
nor TO the public.

ANDERSEN's STORY
or How lie Came to Marry Mrs. Purcell
the ST. Louis Widow.

the ST. Louis WiuoW.
CLEVELAND, o., May G.-The main
evidence against John Andersen, the
Dig. good-loOking Dane, who is supposed
to have married about twenty women,
was submitted yesterday. Mrs. Ellen
Purcell, of ST. Louis, his latest bride,
continued her testimony, describing
how Andersen brought her to this city,
stole a note and cash amounting TO
81 200 from an inner pocket OF one oil
her under-garments, and fed for the
East. The big Dane was put on the
stand In his own defense.
He proved himself to be anything but
a simpleton, and though his own story
was interesting and plausible, the pros
ecutor succeeded in tangling him up on
the cross-examination. He admitted
his marriage to Mrs. Purcell, but re-
fused TO answer questions concerning
the Elmira marriage. He claimed that
Mrs. Purcell bulldozed him into mar
ryinC by putting policeman on his
track after he became intimate with
her. and that she insisted upon his tax
ing all her money and keeping ii for bis
own. His reason for deserving her was
that she was so old and so over affec-
tionate that he became disguised and
resolved to take vacation from his
HONEYMOON.
