Election COurtesies,

Mr., Bryan has sent to Major McKin-
ley the subjoined ngratulatory dis
patch:
"Senator Jones has just informed me
that the returns indicate your election and
hasten to extend my congratulations. We
have submitted the issues to the American
people and their will is law"
Major Mckinley thanks Mr.. Hanna
for his "great services in the cause cf
sound money and protection" and
those who have been associated with
him in the management of the cam
paign, aud adds:
"The people in their majestry, ignoring
party lines, have declared their detestation
of Reputation and dishonor in whatever
specious guise they may be presented. They
have with the same mighty power affirmed
their devotion TO law and order and their
undertaking respect for justice and the
courts. They have maintained their I'M
fatering determination to support and up
hold the constituted authorities of the coun-
try and have thereby given new vigor and
strength to our free institutions. They have
indeed again consecrated themselves to
their country and baptized the cherished
ordinances Of free government with a new
and holy patriotism. The victory is not to
party or section but of and for the whole
American people. Not the least of the
triumphs of the election is the obliteration
of sectional lines in the republic.
Z" We have demonstrated to the world
that we are a reunited people in purpose as
| in name. We have manifested in the great
cause the spirit of fraternity and brother
hood that should always characterize our
common and equal citizenship, and have
proven conclusively that in country of
equal privileges and opportunities the in
sidious doctrine OF hate or of class or sec
tional distinctions cannot prevail. Let us
as Americans straightway devote ourselves
to the upbuilding of America to the peace,
honor and glory of our common country.
Party dissensons should no longer divide
or rack the public mind nor the zeal or
temper of either side deter any citizen from
patriotic devotion to the good OF all"

School Supervision.

The matter of skilled supervision of
schools is not fad, not city notion,
useless in tie country schools. Il is
nece Wy for every good school system
"a necessity arising from the very con-
stitution of human nature and society.
Go to any business man who is an en-
ployer of labor, and he will tell you
that a superintendent is a necessity.
Wherever men and women do work for
others, they need some one to oversee
them. A good many men and women
who work for themselves would do very
much better if they only had some one
who was wiser than they to direct them
in their work. So, wherever you find
people working for others, you find
men and women directing and over
seeing their labor.
Now, the people of Vermont employ
over $500 teachers to instruct their
children, and for their service they are
paid over 1915 900. Now, which is the
way to get the best results from all
this expenditure of money! Shall the
teachers be hired and placed in the
schools by the directors, and then left
to do as they pleaseP Or shall they be
aided by skilled supervisors? Can any
one believe that schools will not be
greatly improved in every way by Sc
curing the services of those whose
work it is to superintend the teachersP
Let the teachers of Vermont answer.
Let those who have been teachers
answer. How many times teachers,
and especially young teachers, feel the
need of advice, counsel, and encourage
ment.
But, says Mr.. Director, have we not
got superintendent, and what is all
this talk about? Yes, there are school
superintendents in Vermont, and a
good many of them. They cost the
state, in round numbers, $40, 900. Take
out about $4,000 for towns and cities
where there is really skilled supervi
sion, and you have sum left which
might just about as well be expended
in hiring one person in each town to
take ride occasionally, for that il
really all it amounts to in most cases
There are many really good superin
tendents in Vermont; but their hands
are SO tied by the law, by public opin
ion, and by the idea of economy, tina
they can go through the form of visit
ing schools, but, so far as making
the schools better, it amounts to moth
ing. We should probably have, TO
the most part, as good schools if there
were no town superintendents TIL,
exceptions are where there is real ex
pert supervision.
The state now pays, or the towns o
the state pay, large sum for what i
called supervision, but which is reall

The coinage of silver dollars by the

Not only must China pay an indemnity

with the case of the outrage committed
on the American missionaries at kiang

Cooks In 1907.

An English magazine printed in 1907
affords an opportunity to learn Of the by
gienic treatment of cooks at that period.
Similar proceedings at the close of the
century would promptly dcpopulate our
kitchens. 1t appears that in England, at
the date mentioned, it was considered the
correct thing to administer medicine to
cooks at stated intervals. This was insist
ed upon whether or no they resisted. The
theory in vogue, rs n reason for this heroic
treatment, was that the continued fumes
of cookery and the necessity of drinking
often to cool the throat produced bile and
humors that injured the sense of taste.
The local effect was to cXcOriatc the palate,
and unless prompt remedies were applied
