THE DU7 Y ON LUMBER.

The lumber industry of this coun
try represents an investment of near
ly 81 900, 600, 900 with 25, ZOO mills pay
ing $3.50, 600, 900 in wages annually to
more than $500, 900 persons who are
directly employed. Tariff makers,
therefore, are compelled to take the
lumber industry under careful consid-
GRAFTON.
This great and thriving business
has suffered greatly from the Wilson
bill, and congress is now asked to
right the wrong which has been in
fiicted upon the lumberfnen and to
put the industry upon a living basis
again. The representations which
have been made to the committee
thus far show that no particular Sec
ton of the country is more interested
in the lumber industry than others.
The industry is as broad as the land
itself There is not a single state in
the Union where it does not prevail
to some extent, while more than thir
ty of the states claim it as their lead
ing industry. 1t has been estimated
that at least 5000, 600 persons are de-
pendent upon it, directly and indi-
rectIy. Therefore, the committee
was not surprised to receive earnest
appeals from every part of the coun-
try for a restoration of adequate du-
ties 70 the different items of the
schedule.
Lumber is not a raw material From
go to IS per cent of the value of the
rough product as it is delivered in

TO ABOLISH THE DISTRICT
SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Present indications are that New
Vermont and other States that have
abolished the district school system
and adopt the town system. Superin-
tendent Charles r. Skinner of the
State school department having form
ulated bill providing for the intro
duction of town schools. A review of
the measure shows that some of it's
provisions are strikingly different
from those embodied in Vermont's
school law.
One of the noteworthy features of
the New York bill is that it is drafted
on what is known as the optional
plan. It is provided that at the next
annual town injecting there shall be
submitted to the voters of the vari-
Gus towns the question 'sShall this
town adopt the township system of
schools?' A separate ballot box is to
be provided for the ballots on this
question and any town voting in the
affirmative is required to hold spe-
cial town meeting on the first Tues
day of June next thereafter for the
purpose of electing six school direc-
tors. The directors are to be elected
two each for two, four and six years
respectively, and their successors are
to be elected for three years.
The school board, of which the sup
ervisor of the town is to be member
ex- officio, are to have entire control
of the schools to be maintained in the
town, and may provide transporta-
ton for pupils to such schools as
they may decide to maint'in. They
may preserve the present arrange
ment of schools or they may consoli-
date schools in their discretion. The
directors may incur any expense ne
cessary to support the schools establ-
ished by them, except that where new
school houses are to be erected or a
new site purchased, such proposition
must be submitted to the inhabitants
to be voted upon as are other town
appropriations.
Our neighbors of the Empire State
have already established union free
school districts, in a number of in
stances through the consolidation of
small districts, and it is a question
whether towns in such cases, which
involve really the application of the
town principal to a portion of the
town; would. be benefited by the pro-
posed change. The opinion is ex-
pressed, however, by the State offici-
ais that the new system will be wide
ly adopted.
rT>l--
York law will relieve the system of
any tendency in the direction of ar
bitrarily enforcing the adoption of an
inconvenience, and its operation will
be watched with peculiar interest by
those who opposed the introduction
of the town system schools in Yer
mont.-Free Press.

the log at a saw mill represents labor.
The only raw material in the lumber
industry is the tree as it stands in the
forest, but even then the labor re-
quired to produce 1000 feet of rough
lumber is approximately the same
that is required to produce ton of
pig iron, which is dutiable at 81 a
ton. Again, 1000 feet of high grade
dressed lumber could be compared
with ton of structural iron, dutiable
at So a ton. Lumber is on the free
list, and the lumbermen make the
reasonable complaint that this is not
lust.

Theodore Roosevelt, police COM
missioner of New York, says that if
we follow Washington's teachings,
we will vote for the arbitration treaty
with England and for large increase
in our navy. Fhis may sound like
sarcasm, but it is nevertheless sound
principle. Every nation must stand
prepared, if need be to defend its
honor with the sword.

come TO you with this important
question and ask you To give it your
careful consideration. This Is ques-
ton tha. should interest all the irlrh ds
OF popular education.
The first remedy suggest, Is. to have
better schools. How are We to have
better schools? Secure better teachers.
Our schools are largely what our
teachers make them. so long Is We
have teachers that have only just
enough interest in their work to Sc
cure the money at the end OF the
school, just so long we may expect TO
have q poor attendance OF children.
Ii the teachers are not intere sted IN
the schools we need not expect Tor the
children to to be interested, and II the
teachers and children are not inter-
ested the parents will not likely take
much interest.
Let US then have teachers who are
interested in school work themselves,
and who will strive to create an inter-
est in both the children and the pa
rents of the community in which they
teach.
Let our teachers go out among some
Of the Indifferent parents and strive
to show them what they can and Will
do for their children.
When their children come, be sure
that something is done for them. Our
pnrents 0ught not 10 be such strangers to
orr schools, and especially TO our school
teachers Let our teachers have some
entertainments occasionally that will
improve and at the same time interest
the children. Invite especially those
parents who are known to take little
| interest or concern in the school. we
have known cases Of rhis kind where
! the most Indifferent and even an OppO-
nent of the school has been won over
to be its mOstiardent friend and supper
| ter.
Above all things, would suggest
| that our teachers use common sense, tact
and Judgment. Often great deal of
harm is done by some young Scion who
goes out into a community of good,
honest, but uneducated people. He
goes out with some new tangled idea
that he has read about, or with some
! fine spun theory, and he speaks of
| Pedagogy and Psy chOlOgy, using high
sounding phrases of which the people
| and children have no conception a. to
their meaning. Some one may say
these last few lines are a reflection
upon our teachers. l deny it hare
seen and heard Just such TEACHERS.
| The cry was made during the late
campaign for Local Taxation that our
| children do not attend what schools
we now have; why spend any more
| money, when what we now have is not
| used and appreciated by those who
| need it most.
am in favor of better schools. better
| teachers, more earnest, honest effort to
| make them worthy to be attended by
our children, and then if, after we
send their children, ! shall be in faror
Of compulsory education.
