Lincoln School Committee
Censured by Taxpayers.
Held a Secret Meeting Which is
Condemned by Taxpayers.
First Rehearsal of the Ladies' Auxiliary Choral
Union-Local Items of Interest.

week or so ago the Lincoln School
Committee met and organized for the en-
suing wear. Some minor business was
transacted, and then it was voted to ad-
iourn to the call of the Chair. 1t was pre-
sumed that the members Of the committee
were sincere in this action and would meet
during the latter part of that week or the
first of the next week to complete the pre-
liminary business of the early session
namely to appoint the teachers for the
ensuing year. The citizens were thunder
struck, however, to learn that the COM
mittee had played bluff game upon those
who were present at the first meeting and
had simply adjourned for the time being
to Immediately convene few moments
later at the residence of the Chairman OF
the Committee, Samuel Learned.
This peculiar action on the part of the
committee has caused great deal of ad-
verse comment among the taxpayers and
citizens, who believe that 1t Is time to dis
pense with secret sessions. The commit
tee say that they were discussing the
merits and capabilities of the different
teachers, and it would not look well In
print. On the other hand, the taxpayers
argue that they pay the bills and ought TO
know what is going on in this respect.
They argue, and justly, too, that II Mr..
So and Sos daughter is not competent to
teach, the committee ought to have man
hood enough to rise to the occasion and
act accordingly. 1t is not conducive to
the best of feeling, nor Is 1t for the best
interests of the public schools, to ignore
the claims of taxpayers daughters, be-
cause, forsooth, some out-of-town person
can be hired cheap. Again, certain tax
payers are inquiring II the consideration
of creed has entered into the makeup OF
the public school teachers.

FOR WINTER HANGING BASKETS.
Flowers and Greenery to Brighten Up tho
Rooms All the Season Through.

Flowers and Greenery to Brighten Up tho
Rooms All the Season Through.
Flowers appropriate for hanging
baskets and trailing basket plants will
be of special interest to the window
gardener. says the Home Queen.
Whether there is simply small bay
window or a convenient conservatory
at the disposal of the winter bloomers,
the trailing and climbing plants may
be made to flourish with very little care,
if wise selections are made, and there il
nothing that will add so much grace and
beauty to collection of plants.
The question of suitability is an i'm.
portant one, as many of the trailers
that made luxuriant growth outside will
give very little satisfaction to the vim
dow garden; yet there are many easily
cultivated plants that have been tested
by practical flower growers, and found
to be admirably adapted for hanging
pots or baskets, or for window brack-
cts, because of their dropping or trail
ing habit. 1t will be well to keep list
of the tested varieties for reference
during the winter, when new plants are
to be added to the window garden from
time to time.
For planting in the center of hang
ing basket, farfugium grande is both
curious and attractive. The leaves are
thick, round, smooth and of a deep
green color, blotched over with irreg-
ular golden spots. Dropping plants can
be set around it in the basket.
The nasturtiums are also receiving
the appreciation they deserve as win
dow plants, and are admirable bloom
ers, whether single or double. "Oriole"
is a novelty highly recommended.
"The flowers exceed in brilliancy the
plumage of that most beautiful bird of
all our American songsters-the Balti-
more sriole. The flowers are fringed,
brilliant yellow, with large scarlet
spot in the center of each, offering a
marked contrast to the dark green OF
the ivy-sbaped leaves. The plants be-
gin to bloom when only few inches
high, and are soon crowded with flow
ers. 1t is unequaled for baskets or
vases; always in bloom" So says a
prominent florist, and even in the hands
of an inexperienced amateur these
snowy flowers are sure to give satisfac-
ton as winter boomers.
Mahernia odrata, or honey bell, must
not be omitted. as its golden, fragrant
flowers are most freely borne in winter;
and the lobelias, too, must be remem-
bered, though they are too generally
cultivated to need special description

Bows Who Don't Like Farming.

Farming is depressed, but the farm.
ers are US well off as any business men
we know of in the city, and better of
if they are out of debt. An exchange
says: "a farmer who can make liv-
ing now and keep things even, should
not change his business, at least until
our industries revive. He should "let
we'll enough alone" However, If a
young man does not like farming, the
chances are that he will make no great
success at it. If he is fretting and
chatting to get away to town or the
city and engage in other business he
had better go. He may be successful,
and at least may learn that he made a
mistake in leaving the farm and will
stay contentedly when he goes back.
We never took much stock in trying to
keep boys on the farm If their inclina.
tions were all against farm life.
