A SOCIETY LEADER

Mrs Peter Lorillard Ronalds, whose voice and beauty used to charm New York society many years ago, still re- tains her charms to a remarkable degree. No American abroad holds such unique position in foreign society. Americans $ going to London for the first time as k for letters of introduction to this charm = ing woman and seek out her jewel of a house in Cadogan place before they think of royalty. Mrs Roualds has ''placed' more artists and aspirants to social hon. rs abroad than any of her country W om- en. In her Louis XVI drawing room are many souvenirs of affection from the Prince of Wales, who always addresses Der as Fannie, :" and from other members ofthe royal family. Sir Arthur Sullivan is constant visitor at her house, and many musical gems have been concocted after one of her charming little dinners. Her sons, the Messrs Reginnald and Pierre l.. Ronalds, Jr., are great favor ties in New York society, and it is quite on the cards that Mrs Ronalds may pay us visit herself during the Worlds fair attractions New York Herald.

A GREAT SUCCESS.

The second dance given by the \ oung Mems Social club, at the Grand Central hotel, last Friday evening, was great success in every respect. A pleasant evening drew together large gathering Of the young folks from this and sur rounding towns. There was plenty of good music. The large dining room was filled during the whole evening with the merry dancers and the front parlor and hallway were also utilized. The ho- tel register showed an attendance of 52 couples, but beside these, there were many who were simply witnesses, Many handsome costumes were noticed among the ladies. Dancing commenced about 9.3O in the evening and continued until the early hours of morning, with the ex- ception of the supper hour, when light refreshments were served. The commit tee were jubilent over the success of this. their second dance, and contented asd happy expression was noticeable on their countenances as they gallantly attended to the wants of their guests. Every one was happy and had jolly good time Following are the committee who had the dance in charge: Harris NJ. Clark. Frank Wright, George Taylor, Fred Cur tiss, H. w. Wheeler, H. C.. Beers.

The OpenP Parliament.
AGAIN THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

The want of interest, listlesness and pathy, which pervades the country towns is partly at fault for the present condition of our school system. but these are as much effects as causes of the evil. This apathy begins with the humblest inhabit ant and ends with the state board. It is reflected from teacher and scholar, and the main effort, from highest to low est seems to be, to get their cash. and dwaddle away time.
 School committeeships are often sought for, ito furnish the wood,'' ito board the teacher or ''get place for a friend" Teachers are hired on account of relationship, motives of charity or importantly. Once engaged, they run the school much as captain runs ship; the sOverign autocrats in their little words, with no system except their own caprice, without advice or restraint.
 The burdened taxpayers pay grudging ly as little as they dare; (and they pay well for the service they get).
 The town board dares not use the pow CT they have. Term visits are side shows perfunctorily performed and end with a general sigh of relief from schol- ar, teacher and visitor. Many teachers are incompetent; either unable to man. age the school or not qualified in the studies they are required to teach. We have to take off the doors to let them into the school house, and are thankful it is not the whole side of the house. What can one do? They are our friends and neighbOrs and we always hope that Hike singed cats they will be better than 1 they look.'' As for revoking certificate once given; it would be done only to pre- vent greater scandal or heat up a neigh borhood row.
 { Often teaching is only a makeshift, to fill unemployed time or get a wedding outfit, filling in the spare hours of court ' ship; not carried on as business or by business methods. And much of some 1 teachers time, in school, is spent in their ] own books, writing letters or reading novels. Not more than one in To improve | from one examination to another. City l girls make the very worst teachers. At | heart they despise the rough country folks. Thoroughly educated themselves, they have little patience with beginners consider the school term. vacation for themselves, grand picnic and their only | object to have good time. | saw a whole school taught by city girl, day l after day, nesting in the trees, paddling I in the brook or rambling through the I woods, teacher at the head.
 4 The state board is the town board on 1 larger scale. A mutual admiration so-
 ciety wound up in red tape. They print
 reports which no one reads, gathering therein all the statistics and telling us
 the truth regarding our condition. They
 order Columbus and Arbor holidays :: hold teachers meetings at which eminent | speakers wrestle now and then with A

 Regular attendance, in spite of state law,
 is rare. If Johnny is wanted to hoe corn.
 or Katie to tend the baby. out they go,
 and no one is any the wiser.-TF.

Heber school Election

The school meeting yesterday was
fairly we'll attended. The report Of the
trustees was read accepted and the re-
firing board was given vote of thanks
and voted a salary of $25 each for their
services. The question of having the
school house insured was brought up
and considered. Joseph Hatch was
called in as an insurance agent to give
an estimate of the probable cost of
having the building insured. He sta
ted that it would cost about $500 per
thousand for a tnree-years' policy. A
motion was made to have the house
insured, but was lost, consequently the
trustees have no authority to insure
even if they so desired. After the
meeting the polls were opened, and bal
loting begun for school trustees for
the ensuing two years.
The trustees are judges Of school
election, and as Mr.. A. NJ. Murdoch was
absent, owing tc the death OF his little
son. it became necessary to elect an

result of the ballot was as follows:

An Ingenious Expedient.

When Sir Christopher Wren built the
town hall of Windsor. a fidgety MEM
Der of the corporation, as the story
goes, insisted that the roof required
further support and wished that more
pillars should be added. Vainly did Sir
Christopher assure him that the sup
posed danger was imaginary The
alarm became infectious and the great
architect was finally worried into add
ing the desired columns.
Years rolled on, but in later times,
when architect and patrons had passed
away, cleaning operations in the roof
revealed the fact that the supposed ad-
ditional supports did not touch the
roof by a couple of inches, though this
was imperceptible to the gazers be-
low. By this ingenious expedient did
Wren pacify his critics, while vim
dicating his own architectural skill to
future generations.-Chica News.
