"BA1DY" SMITHS June 10, 1904,
ASSAULT S.:tI Ill, H.

a.oo.r-n General Daluy
AooAohI' Smith, with the
Eighteenth corps, numbering 10000
men, opened the battle of Petersburg in
deadly earnest. Smith marched his
troops direct from the battlefield of Cold
Harbor to the south bank Of the james.
On the march he received orders from
Grant to storm the defenses of Peters,
burg on the east side. At the same time
Hancock was ordered to march his Sec
ond corps from Cold Harbor and sup
port smith.
Smith encountered the Confederates
behind strong intrenchments as soon az
he crossed the James. In the course Of
the day he carried by storm seven forth
fled batteries and mile and half Of
infantry parapets. From prisoners taken
Smith learned that Confederate re-en-
forcements were marching into Peters
burg from the army lines up the James.
He also learned for the first time that
Hancock was marching to the field. AT
nightfall on the 10th Eancock's column
was six miles from Smiths bivouac
This failure to capture Petersburg on
the 10th gave rise to much controversy,
the late arrival Of Hancock's corps be-
ing cited as the cause. The distance
from the point where Hancock landed
his troops that morning to Smiths camp
was 10 miles. His instructions were to
move up to q certain position Oh the
City Point and Petersburg railroad,
near Petersburg. That point proved to
be within the Confederate lines. Han
cock received his orders through Cen
eral Meade, who was at Cold Harbor,
in front Of Richmond Smith received
his instructions through Butler, who
was also absent from the scene, at Ber-
muda Hundred. In his report Hancock
said that he didn't know until after 5
o'clock p. NJ, the 18th, that Smith was
to attack the enemy's works.
On the Confederate side the defense
Of Petersburg at the outset was left to
chance. Lee and the Confederate au-
thorities in Richmond believed that the
Federal demonstrations on the Appomat-
tox were feint to cover an attack on
Richmond. Beauregard, to whom was
intrusted the defense Of Richmond on
the south, made Petersburg his especial
care When he saw the gathering OF Fed
eral forces on the Appomattox and lower
James, he urged upon Lee the opinion
that Petersburg was to be the next OBJ
ject of Grants attack. So sanguine was
he that on the 14th he stripped the lines
at Bermuda Hundred, which held But
Ter in his bottle, leaving light guard
there and marched division to Peters
burg in time to check Smith ON the
10th. Next morning he had II, 600 men
well intrerched on the Ar--?...attcx.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

During my term as President / have
conformed with the provisions of the
Act of March %, 1874, to enforce the ed
ucational rights of children, by calling
public attention to it by advertisements
in the newspapers. No doubt the franz
ers of this law intended that it should
be effective in requiring the compulsory
education of children, but the cumber-
some machinery it provides renders it
practically a dead letter on the statute
books.
The law provides in effect that every
parent or guardian, or person having
control of any child between s and IA,
shall be required to send it to public
school for at least two-thirds of the
time during which the schools are
taught in the city; at least twelve
weeks of which time shall be consecu-
tive, unless the child is excused by the
Board of Education because of mental
or bodily defect, extreme poverty. or
sickness of the parent or guardian, or
that the child is taught IN a private
school or at home, in such branches as
are usually taught in the primaries, or
has already acquired a good knowledge
of such branches.
1t provides further that the Presi-
dent of the board shall publish for three
weeks in June of each year notice of
the law; and that any parent or guar
dian violating the law will be guilty of

indigestion is the curse of this country y
says New York medical journal in a recent
editorial. 'Both men and women suffer from
this distressing complaint and it causes a
tremendous amount of misery"
This is all very true, but there is no reason
why any man or woman should suffer from
indigestion when there is a ready means OF
preventing it. Thousands of people have dis
covered sure cure for this much dreaded
complaint, and some of them have given the
public the benefit of their experience.
Mrs. Z. Tarlton, 345 Park avenue, Cincin-
natl, says: II had dyspepsia for fifteen years
and was entirely cured by taking Duhys pure
malt whisky, l had tried almost everything
and know that this whisky cures where all
others fail. am advising all my friends to
use it.'
W. +. Anderson, 617 W. Indiana street,
Chicago, says: If used Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky for indigestion and dyspepsia. My
stomach is now in better condition than 1T has
been for years past. seven OF my friends are
using il with the same results"
These are only two cases selected from thou
sands of others, but they are sufficient To prove
that dyspepsia and indigestion can be always
avoided by the regular use of Dufy's pure
malt 1t will not only keep the digestive or
gans in perfect condition but give tone and
other whisky like it; nothing else that can
take its place. Therefore. make sure that you
get no inferior imitation when purchasing
from your grocer or druggist.

| teachers of doubtful competency al
ready in the department.
OF late there has been so much of
this character of Importantly that the
members should have it understood
that it will result in certain defeat of
the candidates in whose behalf it will
be exercised.
And at this point I cannot refrain
from an expression of reflections that
have impressed me forcibly since /
have occupied the chair in this body.
Has there been on the part of any one
of us full conception of the important
and delicate trust that is the natural
incident to an election to the Office of
director of the education of the youth
Here is one station in public life where
considerations of politics, of self-inter-
est and even friendship should abso-
lutely be thrown aside; we deal with a
future that will speak in condemnation
or approval of our acts when the judg-
ments of the pupils Of this day will have
nlatured.
No other public station offers greater
opportunities for honorable distinction
in the present and in the hereafter if
it's sacred duty will be discharged with
fidelity to the single object for which
the system of popular education was
designed by the founders of our Gov
ernment. The integrity of American in
stitutions depends upon the free school
system. Are the people just, and are we
just with regard to this weighty consid-
Grafton?
Justice on our part will come by our
selection of teachers upon the ground
solely of especial fitness to direct the
training and education of the pupils
who will be Immediately under their
control, and who will obtain for them
the best possible results. Justice on the
part of the people will come by aiding
the board in the selection Of such teach
ers only, and in not urging upon it
candidates of whose qualifications they
are not advised.
With my retirement from the office of
President, | sincerely thank my fellow
members for the honor received at their
hands two years ago by an election
with their unanimous votes to the po-
sition / feel grateful to the teachers
for the kindly feelings they have ex-
pressed for me during my term. Their
counsel has done much to tighten the
burdens incident to the Office.

The subject as to the best method of
selecting teachers has been worn
threadbare in school reports, and / am
not aware that any better plan can be
adopted than that now in practice, for,
after all, it will rest in the judgment
and conscience of the Director. Against
one thing I do most earnestly protest,
and that is the persistent attempts of
some persons to control the judgment
Of the Directors in favor of particular
candidates on grounds other than a con-
sideration of competency.
This protest is not directed to persons
from whom such Importantly is ex-
pected, for they are easily resisted, but
it is directed to persons whose position
and standing should place them above
such practices. Men who ought to ap-
preciate the gravity of a vote to elect a
teacher, will very frequently urge upon
the members the selection of a candi-
date Of whose qualifications they abso-
lutely know nothing, and when the
question is raised they will justify 1t on
the ground that there are, perhaps,
