sprinkled over them. Head hunting had

that husbands should conjure evil spirits

The committee of five appointed q
year or more ago by the State Educa-
tional association to report upon a gen.
eral plan of state schools and their
supervision has made its report and
recommends that the educational system
Of the state should comprise all state
institutions ard all schools which are
supported in whole or in part by public
funds. The management Of these schools
should be vested in a supervisory board
with the state superintendent as presi-
dent ex-officio- The board should have
the management of the school system
except the control of the rural schools
and such graded and high schools as
may be given the state superintendent.
This board should be empowered to pro-
vide courses of study for all colleges and
other higher institutions Of learning, all
graded and high schools and all element
AIRY schools of the state. The board
should also provide for the examination
of all pupils in the lower grrdes oil
schools. They should provide for the
examination of all teachers and for the
granting of teachers certificates and OF
diplomas and degrees from various
schools. The committee makes two sug
gestions in regard to denominations

ment be established for the conferrini
Of degrees and second tina: the right t.
confer state certificates be given 10 sucl

recommended as "a part Of the system
and that state courses of study be pre-
pared for these, and for institutes an

committee also recommends that schot

the decision of the supreme court in the
case of the sugar trust, Senator Sher-
man said that he had not read the deci-
sion carefully as yet, but that he did not
consider that it rendered the ANTITRUST
law in any sense imperative. The law,
he said, was drawn under the interstate
commerce clause of the constitution, and
the court merely held that che sugar
trust case could not be prosecuted under
it, as all the companies alleged in the
suit to have combined were located in
one state. Pennsylvania. Most trusts
extend over a number Of states and
would be subject to the law. .
