with the government for military serv-
ices TO provide them with Christmas
funds. but they are not looking for

Christmas tree. They feel that they are
up against Il. 1T" Is the red tape

make the gold balance in the national
treasury show up well. Each OF the
three officers I'm question had expected
n good round sum ere his time. Each
had planned for "A Christmas that
would take m some OF the curse Of
the life OF last summer. The balance
sheets show that the government owes
them from $500 TO $500 each. This
would have been very acceptable at
this stage OF the game. and the knowl-
edge that IL is not forthcoming is a
hard blow.
II is certain. however. that it is not
forthcoming. The government does not

The enormous sum Of 800 would
break the bank. and So the admins

way OF the collection OF the claims.
The latest Information received i'm the
matter Is contained la "A letter received
by Captain Higgins from Attorney q.
T.. ogden. who Is now in Washington.
AIR. ogden writes that before the
claims can be collected Il will be neces-
sary for the officers to obtain certifi-
Gates from nearly every official In the
United states army that the claimants
are not ndebted 10 the government or

Gates are 10 come from all ranks. one

The officers mentioned have not even

will he hard TO get certificates from
some OF them. In the meantime the
money due the officers of Troop + is in

move rapidly. IL is hoped that the
claims will be paid So that the children

THE RUDIMENTs.

Again some of the people of this town are wondering why a sausage machine turns out sausages. In other words, they don't know why fantastic school system shouldn't turn out graduates who can read, spell and "fgger." They expect too much. They ought to be satisfied if public school graduate can paint water-color Indian or mold a clay ball.
 It appears that there are others who are wondering, and some are even in- quiring. Professor Daniel Fulconer of the Milwaukee Normal school thinks there are too many ornaments in the public schools, and he has been study ing the records of the schools in Chi cago and Milwaukee in order to find out what really ought to be taught His study covered a period of fifteen years. He found that in the cities named a large majority of the pupils left school at the end of the third year of their at- tendance. Of the pupils in the schools ~ per cent. were found in the first three grades and only per cent. in the high school. Thirty per cent. left at the end of the first school year, and the average number of those dropping out each year increased from that gradual ly to 91 per cent. at the end of the sev- enth year and the beginning of the high school, while at the end of the tenth year of school life only 10 per cent. of the pupils who entered the primary school were still in attendance The Professors conclusions were that the course of study in the lower grades should be restricted to the rudiments and that some means should be sought to retain the children in the schools for a longer time.
 The professor is probably right about the rudiments. They should certainly
 be taught somewhere and somehow, and there is probably no better time to teach them than when children are young Perhaps by and by if New Haven sue
 ceeds in getting the outside of her pub. lie school chifdren's heads clean sht
 will make more simple and direct at. tempt to stock the inside of said heads with "tha rudiments.,,
