IscHooL LAWS IN ENGLAND.

How the Cost Of Educating the Poor IL
Provided For.
The imperial government spends
over six million pounds sterling year
On education, and makes grant in re-
spect of each child in attendance at an
elementary school who is presented at
the examinations held by the govern
1nent inspectors. 1t makes no differ
ence whether the school receiving the
grant is voluntary one or one
maintained by an elected board. At
least fve-sevenths of the cost of main.
thining a school can thus be secured
from the imperial treasury, SO that,
apart from interest on loans for build
ing schools and esta blishmentc charges,
a school board is required to raise only
q comparatively small part Of its rev.
ehue by local taxation. It raises this
amount by a school rate assessed on
the rental value Of all property in the
school board area. Everyone who
pays this rate, or occupies house in
respect of which it is paid, is entitled
to vote; and ever since the boards were
esta blished by the laws of 1870, women
have been eligible as members.
In the election of these boards ma
ttonal party lines are seldom drawn.
Candidates are usually elected either
on account Of their loyalty to the
school board system or Of their par.
tiality to the voluntary schools. It is
il fact generally a distinction between
the nonconform and members Of
the Church Of England or Of Rome.
1T can hardly be saia that there are
any poor-law politics. The boards
have so little leeway allowed them by
the central government that there
is no room for poor-law politics.
Consequently the elections Of poor-law
guardians have hitherto been OF col.

"Then it all came outflow we knew

Dorothy subsidized into the depths Of

"Oh, Dorothy, you are the greatest

the excitement brought it all out.
Three days later there came an invi-
tation for Grace, Dorothy and Margery
to large party, given by the Win
throps in honor of Jack Winthrop, who
had just returned after an absence of
two years.
1t caused quite an excitement in the
Russell household, for large party was
a great event, and one which they
thoroughly enjoyed. Grace decided
that she would not GO, as itwould prove
too severe a tax for the little strength
she had, SO Dorothy and Margery ac-
cepted, and then came the subject OF
dress.
1t was simply impossible to get any
thing new, so the old gowns must do.

And each have his peculiar way.

ened.
One Of tho good old institutions Of
family life which has nearly disap-
peared from the modern home is the
family sitting-room. Nothing in the
modern small house takes the place or
fulfllls its function. The small parlor
and reception hall must be kept in or
der for company. This is necessity.
when there are young children. The
library 10 too small, and is. besides, the
place where we want quietness. Usu-
ally, also. it opens out of the parlor or
hall, and therefore has not the privacy
necessary to the true family sitting
room. In these days Of extreme indi-
vidualism every member of the Amily
wants q room to himself or herself,
which Is, presumably, the reason why
our houses are cut up into SO many lit
tie cubby holes Of chambers. And SO
there is no place kept for big, COM
Portable. light, airy, roomy, sitting
room. sd .l,
Yet did we regard things rightly we
would have q sitting-room in our house
# we had to sacrifice the parlor. Not
that it could take the place Of the par.
lor, for one Of the frstrequisites to the
real family sitting-room is privacy to
family life and opportunity for free
dom. There must be the big table with
tho lamp and the children's school
books, toys and games, the newspaper,
and perchance the mothers mending
basket. There must be the comfortable
lounge on which the tired father or son
can stretch at ease and take a little
evening nap lulled by the murmur Of
family life around him. There must
be the easy chairs, not too fine to be
tilted back by the kind butiunsophisti-
Gated .,elative from the country, whom,
OF course, we must admit to this fam
lily sanctum. Here especially must
the mother make her headquarters.
The mother is the heart OF the home,
and she must be accessible to all her,
family many hours Of the dayif the
sheart-life Of the home is to be kept
warm and glowing.
Around her the different members
Of the family must center for the inter
change Of thought and news Of each
others doings. It is truly lamentable
that in, 50 many families brothers and
sisters, parents and children are all
almost entire strangers to each Others
lives; md when they do meet have
very little Of common interest to talk
about. The tendency IS to the disinteg-
gra ton of the homs and tho chilling
and decay Of family affection. Moth

4 Habit That Brinxs with Il Its Own Re-
ward.
Ydiness Is satirized' by hundred
writer's, and despised, as we have said,
by millions; but nobody ever argues
against it seriously, unless we take the
allegation that strong men are never
tidy to be serious argument. It
would be one, perhaps, if itwere true,
but it is not. Great soldiers and sail
ors are almost invariably tidy, Fred
erick of Prussia being rather con-
spicuous exception; many great law.
yers have been neat to hnicalness, and
the same may be said Of many great
men Of business. We should say, i'm
deed, that as many weak men were un-
tidy as strong men, and that Of the lat.
ter q large proportion will be found to
be Of the dreamy or the reflective tenn
permanent. s..
Dreamy people hate tidiness, and the
very reflective arc rarely quite tidy,
the. reason being the same in both
cases, that such persons, besides feel
ing the inherent dislike of most men
to small recurrent exertions without
immediate end, are annoyed by inter
ruptions to the current Of thought.
They want, as tnay say. 20 Be at peace
from trifes, and as somebody usually
saves them from the consequences Of
their ways they remain untidy through
life.
That they gain anything by their
'untidiness except, possibly, some light
relief from irritability, is, however, a
most rash assumption. They rarely
save time, for they can never find any
thing; they do not think more clearly,
for the materials for thought are never
ready to hand; and it may be ques-,
toned if their habit adds even to their
mental peace. London Spectator.

himself to Dorothy, and the two were
great contrast. The party came to
an end at last, as all delightful things
do, everyone declaring they had never

So the fall and winter passed away.
Jack Winthrop was a frequent visitor
at the Russels', and people began to
smile and nod mysteriously when the
names of Dorothy Russell and Jack
Winthrop were mentioned. Fortunately
the parties concerned in the bit of Cos
sip were blissfully ignorant Of it all.
'''They were just good friends, nothing
more" at least that was what Dorothy
said.
1t was fine winter, and the skating
and sleighing parties were almost in
Vulnerable Sometimes Jack took Dor
othy, sometimes Margery, or some of
the other girls; but Dorothy oftener
than all; and so winter passed and
spring came.
One day Dorothy received a note
from an old schoolmate which caused
great connection, and this is what it
said:
.'FAIRCHILD, Mass. April s. 49,.
my DEAR DOROTHY: think 1 have waited

have to tell each other, know you will come

dear, but come soon and see

What an excitement that letter
caused! Every body began talking at
once, the children insisting that Their
Dorothy should not go, and mother
and the girls planning about it, for,
some way or other, it seemed to be
quite settled that Dorothy should go.
81 When Mr. Russell came home. the let
ter was laid before him, and he agreed
at once that Dorothy should accept the
invitation. So the preparations began,
and Dorothy wrote Mabel that she
might expect her on Tuesday, the
18th. The morning Of the 18th
.dawned bright and clear, and Dorothy
started off in high spirits, not unmixed
with a little sadness in this, her first.
