met. with II. Il. Johnson presiding, and
all the members present excepting j. Z.
Buckley.
Covering the requirements of a resolu-
tion adopted at the last meeting, which
called for report defining the legitimate
scope Of the committee in matters OF pro-
posed investigation, j. II. Lawrence. Sec
retary, submitted a report containing the
names of State penal and retormatory in
stitutions which come under the Jurlsdlc-
ton Of the members, as follows:
State Prisons at san Quentin and Fol-
some; Whittier Reform School of Indus
try at Whittier, Los Angeles County, and
the Preston School of Industry at lone,
Amador County.
A long discussion ensued as to whether
a visit would be necessary to all OF the
institutions named, and also as 10
whether all members of the committee
should attend these outings.
one member wanted Senatorial COM
mittee for company, and a joint report,
but Chairman johnson gave the COM
mitteemen to understand very distinctly
that he would not favor such action, Civ
ing many substantial reasons for retus-
ing to approve of joint committee work
of any kind.
1t was finally decided to visit all of the
penal and reformatory institutions,
beginning with the prison at San Quentin.
AS Tor the Whittier School all mem bers
concurred in the opinion that visit
would save the State much money, which
would otherwise necessarily be expended

Brace of Toughs Fail to Capture a

Frank Bogart was arrested last night
by Officers Talbot and Ahern for creating
a disturbance on Third-street. electric
car and assaulting the conductor. Bogart
and companion boarded the car, refused
to pay their fares, and used insulting Ian
guage.
When the conductor attempted to eject
the pair they showed fight, and either the
conductor or motorman struck Bogart' s
companion and apparently broke his
nose. The carmen then held Bogart
until the arrival OF an officer and will

In the fight the conductor claims he was
compelled to draw revolver to protect
himself.
Bogarts companion escaped. They are
supposed to be members of the gang

 The farmers in this vicinity are unable to get their grain ground at Stepney on account of the continued cold weather, causing some inconvenience.
 MT Pierce preached anexcellent sermon on Sunday, his theme being Passive ness" His text was, "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling"
 Owing to the threatening weather the attendance at the oyster supper given un- der the auspices of the Baptist society was not as large as was expected, but all who were present, enjoyed pleasant even ing. The next sociable will be held at George Gillett's. It is to be basket socia- ble, the gentleman providing the baskets and the ladies doing the bidding.
 There will be no service at the Baptist church for the two Sundays, February l3 and 2O,as MT Pierce is to take his yaca- tion now, instead of during the summer, as is customary.

MORE LIGHT ON THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

In the proceeding articles attention has been called to the condition of the country schools and some of the causes. How long will this state of things con tinue? The state reports prove the con- dition general. A New York paper pub lished after the census of 1890 in a re- view of the educational statistics, show ed our standard below that of any North ern state, and called attention to causes which have been partly reviewed, which we know to be true and which should shame any citizen of the state.
 Now to report conditions is one thing, to indicate remedies far more difficult task.
 Charles D.Hine was once advertised to speak on "How shall We improve our country schools?" At great inconven- fence l attended the meeting, found an- other speaker substituted in his place who had chosen another subject. l men, tioned my disappointment to the genial secretary, who said, ''It is all in a nut shell; get good teacher"
 I gave a few of the answers we get at our examinations to Superintendent Crosby of Waterbury, who asked, What made you give them a certificate:' Be cause we hadn't the back bone to refuse" was my answer. Said he, ''I see but one way out of your dilemma. Get bill passed to allow only state examiners to give certificates But there is anoth- CT horn to this same dilemma. The type writer, telephone, telegraph ard store clerkships have taken away our girls, and to day really good teacher is hard to find. harder yet to get and hard- est of all to keep. A slight increase of pay is of no use. We get the same faces, the same service, no better, no worse.
 l have no sovereign panacea to reccom- mend. We know how other states get their results, if we can do no better we can copy their methods. would gladly see our whole system changed and year ly state examinations. joint town and county supervision, and enforced regular attendance adopted. The solution of the problem presses on us. The que stion must be met.-TF.

MR BAKERS FAME.

A. G. Baker, the Hawleyville furni- ture man, seems to be acquiring not only local, but almost a national reputation The American Furniture Trade Review, paper having a circulation all over the United States, last week copied two of MT Bakers long advertisements entire into its columns, and they were the sub jeets of very favorable editorial com- ment under the "Art in advertising" A few weeks ago the 'American Cabinet Maker" did the same thing. This goes to show that Mir Bakers originality is appreciated abroad as well as at home. The almost phenomenal one years growt' ot his furniture business at Hawleyville IS undoubtedly in great measure due to his persistency and originality in adver- tisng. Who says advertising does not pay !: We say it does in almost every instance, but the advertisement should show brains and judgement and the advertiser should be honest in his adver- Using. One "ad'' of holiday goods carried along into the next April is quite apt to ''April fool'' the advertiser, and it ought to. This is a progressive world and he who would profit by advertising, must keep up with the procession. His business will not run itself successfully; neither will his advertising. Give it lit tie time and thought. You will find it will pay.
