Consul-General Crittenden's article

OF New York city has reproduced the
article in full. together with letter
from Henry Ware Allen. of the city Of
Mexico in which the writer says that

The Washington Correspondent
of tho Philadelphia Ledger quotes
a conservative Republican Senator
who favors repeal as saying that
there is not the slightest prospect
for the passage Of an uncondition-
al repeal bill in the Senate. The
Senator expressed tho belief that
a compromise measure would be
adopted, in which tho ratio would
be fixed at a figure between 20 and
rs, and most likely at %. In sub
stance the Senator said: eve

Paw Your Little Rills.

A most effective way to relieve
financial stringency is to keep mon
ey in circulation by the payment
of little bills" To .'pay as YOU go"
is always best, but some persons
are occasionally compelled by cir
cumstanees to ask for credit. 1t is
wise to pay bills at short intervals
tor many reasons. The creditor
may have a great number of small
bills outstanding and may be SER
iously embarrassed by their nonpay-
meni, The longer bill remains
unpaid the harder il is to pay. To
the man in receipt of an income
which is no more thar his necessary
expenses require il may be easy to
pay a small bill, but il he allows it
to go unpaid other bills may be ad.
ded to It and the aggregate will be
a serious burden.
a fails to pay what he owes to B,
and the latter is thereby unable to
pay what he owes to {, and so on.
By prompt payments small sum OF
money can be made to cancel a
large sum of Indebtedness. A ten.
dollar bill, by passing from hand to
hand probably often pays debts
amounting to hundred dollars in
side week. The most frequent
excuse heard from the nonpay ment
of bills by persons who are asked TO
make payment they can collect no
money. In most instances this ex
euse is probably an honest one, and
a little reflection will convince any
man of the wisdom of thus keeping
money in circulation. The first Of

ourPublic schools.


How SHALL WE IMPROVE THEMP
believe that all agree with me
that the parents and citizens gem
orally should manifest an interest
in the up-building of our schools /;
talk to whomsoever you may and
he Will tell you that he earnestly
desires the success of the schools
IN order to give to his children
that richest of gifts, EDUCATION.
This kind of interest has been in
existence long time, but it fails
to bring about the desired results.
What we really want is action,
real definite action. Not mere
sympathy but some kind of action
that will count. Now, there are
many who are sincere and would
really be pleased to do something
to improve the schools. What
can you do? Some one will say
visit the schools. That may in
spire your children and encourage
the teacher to some extent. and
while these visits may do much
good, yet there Is something more
pointed necessary on the part of
the parents. Let me suggest that
the people organize and meet at
least once n month. During these
meetings let it be the object TO
discuss means of improving the
schools. There have already been
steps taken in this direction, but
owing to adverse circumstances
but a small attendance has been
secured. / should DO glad to see
large attendance at the next call
for such f gathering, and l should
be pleased TO suggest line of pro-
ceeding which believe would do
much to reach the ends so earnest
ly desired.
l have spoken, in a previous ar
ticle, concerning a graduating svs-
tenn for tho Ceredo Independent,
District Schools, and it seems that
the idea is looked upon with d.
cided favor. l have received or
ders from the Board of Education
to prepare such a course of study
which work is nov complete and
1t is hoped that the plan will be
carried out. think quite enough
has been said on this subject for
the present; now let actions speak.
Before closing these articles il may
be well to mention a few things
which are necessary to the highest
success of the schools, viz: the
active cooperation of the parents
diligence and enthusiasm on the
part Of the teachers under the di-
rection of the principal; such ar
rangement on the part Of the Board
of Education as will give the prin-
cipal ample time to inspect the
work Of all the grades; g prompt
and unbiased performance of duty
on the part of all. ] believe that
if this line of work be carried out
and all concerned, both teachers
and other school officials, do their
plain duty according to law that
this and nothing short of this will
insure the SUCCESS of tho SCHOOLS.
