A ARiAsSACHUsECEs IDEA.

MA MASSACHUSETTS, IDEA.
1t is interesting to note that the plan
originated in Massachusetts, for dealing
with depleted school districts is working
we'll. 1t Is an arrangement by which the
individual towns, after giving up the old
district system of schools, provide for the
conveyance of the children in the spsrsely
populated districts to the csnters of the
town, where the schools are transferred
that once had only handful of pupils.
1t was with some reluctance at first that
the families in the outlying parts con-
sented to have their children taken to
school at distsncs of several miles from
their homes, but the fact that they &C.
cured better training soon established
the wisdom Of the plan, and as rapidly
as tie old districg system of schools is
given up, this method of taxing children
to school is, it is said. being adopted with
increasing satisfaction. It gives children
in remote parts of the town better edu-
cation than they formerly had in the dis
trict schools, and 1t relieves them from ex-
posure in stormy or enowy weather. The
advantages of the method are such that
wherever 1t has been adopted the people
are unwilling to 60 back to the old plan.
There are many places in Connecticut
where this plan would work as we'll as it
does in Massachusetts. Oar educators
should pay attention to 1t.

This is a great, glorious and free coun
try, but 1t has bean growing plain that it is
little too free. Therefore it is to be
hoped that the bill introduced in congress
by Mr.. Stone Of Pennsylvania, the object
of which is to prevent European criminals
and paupers from being admitted into this
country, will become law, Thsre Is no
doubt that our freedom and ouz hospitality
have been much abused and that it would
have been a good thing for the couotry If
many of the foreigners who have come to
1t had stsyed at home. It appears by the
last census, that the per cent. of pereone
born in foreign countrjs, is ID n, and yet
this census shows that 26 per cent. Of the
white persons confined In jails and prisons
are pei sons of foreign birth. The total
number of white convicts in our peniten-
tiaries whose birthplace is known is 20, ,440,
composed of 13 7I5 native born and IA, 725
foreign born, showing that more than one
half of our white convicts are foreign born.
The total number of inmates of our poor
houses by the last census is SO ,696, of which
number 81 e4S were born in foreign coun
tries-a little over 81 per cent.

THE HARD TauEs I'm ITALY.

gain counter. Clearing out aales and
forced Gales are numerous aud a man with
cash to inve 1t can pick up many good bar
gaine. Nowhere Is the situation more se
rious than in Italy, as the recent forced
sales Of land show. An official list Of
property to be sold -. suction for non
paJ ment of taxes has been posted at the
prefecture in Saieruo It shows that the
owners were obliged to part with every
thing because Of utter inability to raise the
most trihing smonnts. In ten eases
tbs requ!r cum WAS under twenty
francs, and In one irs'sncs It
was four franco seventy centimes. The
littis property thus abandoned was
put up at auction by the government
at the opening price of seventy five francs.
Another property waa surrend cred because
the owner could not pay tax of fourteen
for sale at l 4S2 francs. These are official
figures, aud taken a. hazard from the list
of twenty two appropriations In the single
commune of ScsfoI.i, in the southern pro-
vince of Salerno. To the north, In the Val
tellina, one Of the districts where sgricult-
ure Is most fou FISHING, precisely the same
state of things now prevails. In the pub
lished d lists at the prefecture of Sondrio, q
little farmhouse was given up for taxes
of four francs twenty six osntlmss
In the Commune of Chlavenna two
chestnut groves were abandoned for
debt of one franc ninetytwo
centimes. At Rarios two meadows
and two arabic fields were put up at suc.
ton because the family to whom they be
Ionged could not raise the tax of nirs
francs thirty y-one centimes. The names of
the propristors of the lands, etc. are in

The assessed value of real estate in Chi
cago is less by $70.00O.00O than 1t was
twenty years ago. This astonishing fact
arises from persistent attempts at evasion
of taxes, in oollusion. apparently with the
authorities; for it would appear that the
low assessments are not uniformly general,
but that the low aggregate is due in large
measure to the escsps of the more power

It appears that there are students at
Harvard who psrsist in working In their
shirt sleeves in the Harvard Law library,
in spite of President Ellot's prohibition,
their excuse being that the room Is over

laid ont to beat the boys. He has person
ally tested the temperature on several
evenings recently with pocket tnermom-
eters, and Is having the library made so
cool that the students will be compelled to
wear their coats in order to continue their

Many of the masterpieces Of the great
Flemish painters of the past, which are
preserved in Belgian churches, are kept
covered with heavy cloths, the idea being
to stimulate public curiosity and exsort
from visitors an extra fee for viewing
them. A result of this sordid policy is
that the color of the pictures, being de,
prived of light, has materially deteriorat-
ed, and that the pictures have become
darkened and obscured. The great Van
Dyck "Ssint Martini" in the church at
Saventhem, has suffered so severely that
the government has interfersd. and a SINH
lar action Is expected In other cases.
