SCHOOL BOARD AFFAIRS.

It is matter OF supreme satisfaction

was entirely matter OF "give-and-

that not paper had been before them.
The matter, however, is transparent

OVERCROWDING STUDIES.

In an address in the Boston Normal
School day before yesterday, DR.. w.
Burnhsm dealt largely with the matter
of overcrowding the schedule of studies
and related questions. The point was
urged that in many countries, and no.
tably in many parts of the United
States, the program of study laid down
for nearly every grade of pupils WAS
far too long, and instances were quoted
where in protracted sessions there was
no timeiO study in school outside of
recitation hours. The dangers of this
from hygienic point of view were not
merely obvious, but had. been demon.
strated in inquiries by skilled inyesti-
gators.
The temptation to load the school
program with every new fad, without
the legacies Of previous
fads, had been responsible for much Of
:he trouble, and the remedy was in
some systematic plan of excision SO as
to remove the merely ornamental or
obsolete studies and leave room for
such branches as would be OF use and
still attain what lie felt to be necessary,
a sufficiently varied scheme of studies
as would best serve the purposes of
education. There was time enough in
the normal work of a school to tain the
youthful mind in many sided phases if
the accumulated redundancies of the
current program were removed.

VIII Meet In San Francisco.

General Secretary Baer of the Chris

which have wide circulation that thu

Francisco and be given to Chicago. HI
says:
"We are interested only in securing
low rate and reasonable time limit fol
the convention, and are not interested
in, nor have we asked for, single. con.
cession Of any kind whatever. The re.
port to the contrary, originating in Chi.
oago, is absolutely false and libelous.
Endeavorers will please pay no atten.
tion to misleading and unauthorized
stories, and wait for official announce
ment. which will be made very soon. 1"

Here is her statement:
II "Three years ago 1 was suf-
R fering with jaundice, which
brought me down to a very feeble and
weakened condition. / could eat hardly
anything without the food distressing
me. 1 had tried several remedies, but
they did me no material good. Recently
my attention was called to Puritana,
the formula of DR.. Dixi Crosby, whose
son, DR.. A. H. Crosby, knew we'll in
Concord, N. H., having employed him
in our family
my faith in the Crosby family Of
physicians prompted me to try Puri-
tana, and the relief it gave me was
marvellous. 1 found my old trouble Of
jaundice, with it's train of ills, left me.
My appetite increased, that all gone
feeling in my stomach disappeared, and
I can eat anything set before me with
out its causing me any uneasiness after
wards.
Il owe 1t all to Puritana, and am
recommending it to many of my friends
in Fall River.

He admitted he could not understand
how other men who work with him in
the mill at 81 20 u day live. He was
also in doubt about getting his place
back in case he did not succeed in his
search for gold. 1t was a question
whether he should remain where he
was, but he was finally advised, if he
was determined to try his hand in the
kiondike country, to start in from the
Jump rs II laborer, always ready to do
any kind of work, especially packing.
In that way he should be able to
make wages from the start. Then,
later on, if he saw a good chance to
get q claim in some rich district, he
WAS advised to get out and rustic.

American Horses in Europe.

Secretary Wilson will soon have
some very valuable information to
give to the country concerning the
probability of finding a good marketf for
horses in Europe. The Secretary, in
pursuance of his hobby of working up
new markets for the products of Amer
lean farms, has caused careful investi
cations to be made in a number of Eu
ropean countries as to the sorts and
conditions of horses wanted for com
mercial and military use, and when
the information which he has gathered
is ready for publication, it will be
found exceedingly valuable.-Chicago

Hoods Pills are easy to take, easy to
operate. Cure indigestion, biliousness.


AT a recent meeting of the Indiana
Bankers Association at Indianapolis
Mortimer lowering of Lafayette, recog-
nized as one of the beet ~financiers in
Indiana, made an address on postal
savings banks in which he said: THE
Government is in a position to manage
this thing through its present postofice
system, and will scarcely increase the
expenses of the department, while it
will enhance the accumulated wealth
of the people throughout the whole
United States. 1t was thought that
building and loan associations would
care for the savings of the masses, but
people have become suspicious of
them. 1t is we'll known that lawyers
in Indiana are making as much as
$4,000 a year out of these institutions,
and officers are making much money
out of them. We all know that trust
companies are not organized as
eleemosy nary institutions. We want
a system of savings banks that are for
the poor people. What greater pride
could a man have than to think him
self a depositor of the United States?''

SOUTH NEEDS POSTAL BANKS.

Would Be of Especial Benefit to the COlored
Race.
Ernest G. De Long,of Tarpon Springs.
Fla, writes to the Chicago Record as
follows:
Should postal savings banks be es.
tablished | fully believe that twenty
per cent of the negro women of the
south would become depositors within
a year. This would have a better eff
feet upon the character of the African
a C than all other reforms thus far
spoken Of. 1t would give them an aim
in life in which all could take part.
1t would protect them from unprinci.
pied sharpers, both white and black.
My experience is that the colored peo.
pie have implicit confidence in the
Government, and none whatever in
anything else, when it comes to money
matters. One with a savings bank &C
count, no matter how small, would be
a'better citizen in every respect. 1t
would start ~depositors on a road to
usefulness in a right direction, ncour
age industry and discourage gambling.
Above all else would be the moral eff
feet. 1t would do more than the most
stringent laws to prevent crime, be-
cause it would be a great incentive for
the preserving of their identity. As it
is now, o name and one locality is
just the same as another, and it is very
common for the negroes to change
their names every time they change
their location and that makes it very
easy for them to dodge the law; much
more so than for the white man, be
cause it takes years of experience of a
northern man to tell one negro from
another and the south is fast filling I'D
with northern people, of whom | am
one. 1t behooves us all in our own
interest, as well as that of humanity,
to improve the condition of the blacks.
