SCHOOL MELANGE.

The matter as to whether the compul-
sorry school law applied to the city OF
Wheeling being referred 10 the state
superintendent of schools, he referred
to the attorney general, who answered
as follows; Replying to your letter of
the Sth inst in regard to the applica-
ton of the compulsory school law to
the city of Wheeling, can only sag
the law Is general. and in my opinion,
applies to all the state alike. l can find
nothing in the act which will except
Wheeling from obedience to It's pro-
visions"
This being the opinion OF the one Sc
lected by the people to give opinions on
contested points of law, would II not
be wen for those who are to enforce its
provisions to see to It that they are en-
forced? 1t has always been the opinion
OF the writer, as expressed before Ia
these notes, that It did Apply to Wheel
Ing, just the same as to any other indie
pendent district in the state, and 1t will
surely do more good to have It's prov!s-

most any other one part of the state. A
great many boys and girls are being
trained in the school of crime In our
city, who II compelled to attend school,
might be led into life OF usefulness.
The resignation of Miss Martha Har-
per, principal of Washington school, Is
a surprise TO her many friends, as well
as regret, especially to her brothers
and sisters OF the profession. Those who
know her best regret 1t most, as she,
by her kindness and ladylike deport-
ment under all circumstances, has en-
deared herself to her fellow teachers.
We wish her 4 long life of usefulness,
and only hope that one as good and well
qualified as she, may take her place.
Under her management, Washington
school stands second to none In the
city, and she can leave II with the
proud satisfaction Of having done her
duty, and of turning over to her sue
cessor n school OF which anyone might
be proud,

The regular monthlg meeting OF the

superintendent was not present, but
the subjects were discussed by the
teachers and the principal, Miss Anna
Baum, of the main building, Ritchle
school, and Miss Belle j. Devine, of the
annex, were out a goodly part of the
week, on account Of sickness, The reg

and Miss Lula Ferguson, supplied their
places,
The flag committee of the Junior Or
der Of United American Mechanics,
through its secretary, has addressed a
letter TO each principal OF the public
schools of our city, asking quite num-
Der of questions concerning the floating
of the American flag over the school
buildings under their charge. Whether
this Is "a rpnlndap that tho non Ia NOT
seen as often as it ought to be or what.
is the object, one thing Is certain, the
flag ought to float to the breeze over
every school house In the land, and this
order does itself credit when 1t interests
itself in this matter. There Is no bet
ter way of teaching patriotism than to
teach respect to the flag of our coun-
Try, and this can be done In no better
and surer way than to have the stars
and stripes floating over the school
building where our boys and girls spend
five days of the week during ten
months OF the year Next to home in
iluence, is that of the school, and the
right influence eXerted In both Will give
us a generation Of patriots in whose
hands the country will be safe.
The fourth class OF the Longfelow
Literary Society Of Richie school, gave
a very enjoyable performance on Fri
day afternoon last. A pleasing feature
of II was plano Duet by Miss Ida
Stab and Master Bernie Freese, as was
also solo by Clara Nlebur. All ac-
quilted themselves well.
