PATHETIC DIGNITY.
Comments on the Sultan's Letter by the

London, November 90 The Post. com
menting on the Sultan's letter to Lord
Salisbury, says: 'Nobody, who considers
eastern politics with calm, unbiased judg-
mont, will fail to be struck by the pathe-
tic dignity and frank earnestness of the
Sultan's message"
The Telegraph says: ''If words could
cure the reign of terror, the Sultan's
would be received with deep relief and
cordial congratulations throughout Eu
rope"
The Standard says fThere is pa
thetic significance in the Sultan's COM
bined protest and undertaking, that ca1-
not fail to win the respectful sympathy
of Englishmen, but if Abdul Hamid had
an Intelligent grasp of the situation, he
would know that what is needed is a
strenuous exercise of individual control.
If he had effectively & 6esired to pave the
way for reforms to be executed by his
ministers, he would long ago have sur
rounded himself with cabinet of Who'll

The King of Ashantee Won't Fight.

London, November 2O.-The Daily

Sutherst, as intermediate on behalf of
the Ashantee envoys, whom the govern
visited Mr.. Chamberlain and the colon
ial secretary and undertook that the
British demand relative to having q resi-
dent at Coomasse and the other demands
contained in the ultimatum to King
Prompen shall be satisfied. The King
will also pay the cost of the present pre-
parations for sending an expedition
against him. The formal terms will be
made when the envoys arrive at Coon
assie, for which place they will start
shortly.
Mr.. Chamberlain undertook that no
troops would be sent to Ashantee if King
Prompn endorses the above terms. The
preparations for the expedition will con-
tinue for the present, but the difficulty
will probably be settled without war.

take care of himself Every boy wishes
to be large and strong, but tobacco
makes him weak. Never whip child
or threaten him with whipping if you
hear of his smoking, but reason with
him.
Mr.. McDerby gave his experience with
school near the border line. The boys
of Mexico and Central America are all
smokers. No single case of habitual
smoking, to his knowledge, was broken
up entirely, but much was done to pre-
vent others from forming the habit.
Mr.. Osborn spoke of the temptation
that Will come to every boy to smoke,
and he advised teachers to tell their
scholars that this is sure to come some
| time in their lives, and to be prepared
to withstand it, as it is not only an ex-
pensive habit, an unnecessary habit,
but also most disgusting one.
METHODS IN TEACHING READ
ING"
By Miss Sadie McDermit, followed. In
! a few, clear sentences Miss McDermit
laid the main points before the teach
ers. Teach them to read naturally
Two methods used word phonetic and
words alphabetic. Two questions were
presented for discussion to teachers
how to stop the habit of drawing, and
the plan best to secure the close atten-
ton of the class.
Mr.. Osborn said: Make them thor
oughly understand what they read. An
other method is, pronounce the words
separately and then read, reading in
phrases
Mr.. Riley required a. small class to
learn small sentences, then close the
book and repeat or tell the sentence in
natural tone of voice, with the most
gratifying results.
Mr.. Howard spoke few moments,
and again urged the necessity of under
standing what is read, and illustrated
from his own experience the necessity
of it.
Miss Farnham laid great stress on
notwithstanding the child to fill his
lungs with air and get ready to read.
DOUBLE ENTRY.
Last on the programme was Mr..
tage of Teaching Only Double Entry in
the Schools" Scholars prefer it, and the
system is IN every way more preferable
and more satisfactory in every sense of
the word. Teachers are all able to teach
double entry as we'll as single, and are
earnestly requested to remember that
our course requires double entry only
and examinations in future would be in
double entry alone.
Mr.. Blanchard considered three
months ample time to take an average
class through double entry The black
board is largely used in this work. Mr..
Howard Endorsed Mr. Blanchard's re-
marks, and Department No 2 adj

Among the Schools.

Last week we completed our work of
visiting schools for this year and we
have made thirty-four official visits.
Two new school districts have been
formed, and the Teachers Institute Or
ganized. Schools are in session at Lo-
peg, East Sound, Friday Harbor and
Shaw's island. The Doe Bay school
will commence on the 18th of this
month and three districts intend to
have schools cOminense about January
lst, Cascade Lake, Richardson and De-
catur island, and the county superin-
tendent will begin a four months term
at Roche Harbor, Nov. 18th. The
highest wages paid is $55 per month at
Roche Harbor, and the lowest $25 per
month, on Shaw island. There are 923
children who draw school funds, one
or two to which, however, are mothers.
There have been two appeals taken
this year, one from the superintendent
decision in the formation of school
district at West Sound to the county
commissioners, who reversed the de-
cision of the county superintendent;
the other from the decision Of the
board of directors of Friday Harbor dis
trict, In the case of Robert Firth, Jr.
whose children had been excluded
from school on the grounds that he was
not resident of the school district, he
having moved into said district but
two days before school commenced.
The decision of the board was reversed
OH the ground that residence in said
district entities the children of such
families to school privileges as soon as
the residence is established. An appeal
to the state superintendent in the latter
case is pending. One of the benefits Of
our liberal school laws is that which
provides for the taking of appeals, free
of cost to the appellants, further than
the filing of atfidavits required. The
law provides that "any person who
feels aggrieved by any decision or Or
der" may take an appeal. 1t is an in
disputable right of which our people
should avail themselves whenever they
are dissatisfied with the decision of
school boards or county superintendent.
