be protected from the devouring mi
crcbe. and the interests Of science be
forwarded in the land
There are some extremely foolish
things about our public school systems
in this country. and this is good eX-
ample of one of them. In the first
place, there is no earthly reason why
each child should not be required to
buy his own pencils. The cost is eX-
uemely Slight and compared with the
amount Of money which is paid for
sChoOlbooks under, the cid regime. is
mere nothing. II the school board fur
nishes the pencils, it should put some
thing on them to prevent their being
enawed. A large majority OF untu-
tored infants in our schools think that
they cannot write unless they moisten
the business end of the pencil in their
mouths, and sometimes they do the
same thing with pens and slate pencils
for some occult reason or other. If
children will have this habit-and it is
a hard enc to eradicate-by all means
let them chew their own special PEN
ellis, and not take them in rotation and
miscellaneoUsly. If the school board
must appropriate money for something
there are two things which it might
pay for: one, some sort Of bitter tine
ture with which the end of the pencil
should be anointed, and the other, free
sanitary bath tubs. In a city school
there are always many pupils whose
parents do not believe in scrubbing
children very often because they be-
lieve such a process would hurt the
child's health. Sometimes these pa
rents have no conveniences for bathing
either the children, the children s
clothes, or themselves. OF course, in
the ideal state of things, there would
be bath tubs in tenements and cottages,
OF public bath houses with an unlimited
supply Of hot and cold water; but at
any rate. it is desirable for all chill
dren to be clean, just as it is desira-
BILE for them TO learn to read, and if the
benighted parent does not see the ne
cessity. the state might as well take it
in hand.

The Importance of what may be

Vice President Hobart is the official

the tipsy masculine contingent at din

the same way the habit of profane

The only way in which he can be re-
formed is to set the police on him when
he uses unpleasant language within the
hearing of people whose ears it offends.
But there is a certain ty pc of boy who
thinks it is fine to converse in a patois
which is about half profanity and about
half meaningless slang. He has not
many ideas to express, and he does not
need a very large vocabulary. He is
encouraged in his language by the
vaudeville stage and the wallpaper
supplement, which have also few ideas
to express and a limited number OF
words with which to express them The
utterly idiOtic and meaningless COM

audiences from the stages of some
music halls have no excuse in civ

the time; at any rate, the audinece
does not laugh. The phrases grow ut
terly wearisome after one or two rep
etitions, and make one long to take the
talker by the back of the neck and
drown him. The way in which to re-
form this sort of thing-if it can be re-
formed-is not to pass edicts against
the offensive words, but to provide
others in their places. Let boy once

is more emphatic than profane word,

A staid and respectable New Eng
land paper wishes TO know if swearing
is going out Of fashion, or the reverse.
The editor Of this paper declares, that
so far as he can find out, the habit of
swearing is altogether too prevalent
among the young men Of New England
cities and towns. He says that the
youths OF the period do not seem to be
able TO say three consecutive sentences
without adjuratiCns Of an unpleasant
nature, so that their conversation is
exceedingly annoying to people who
happen TO be in their vicinity on the
street or elsewhere. And he wants TO
know if this thing is 10 be allowed to
continue.
As a matter Of fact, it is rather hard
to say whether the habit of profane
swearing is on the increase or the de-
crease. The state Of things fifty years
ago. in regard TO this practice, was
probably analogous to the state of
things in regard TO strong drink There
was a time when it was common for
men in high society to drink themselves
tipsy at dinner and join the ladies in
the drawing room. At the same time
there Were localities in which almost
no drinking was done. During that
period, according to novels and
dramas which are supposed to repre-
sent its ordinary life, these same gen.
tlemen in high society used oaths hab-
itually in the presence Of ladies, and
more than habitually when that slight
restraint was removed. Nowadays,
while there are a good many men who
have departed from the customs of
their forefathers so far as to drink

Senior Quesada's Pre- sence at a

Among diplomats there is much talk Of

the representative in Washington of the
Cuban Republic
The suggestion is made that the ban
quet was state function of the most
formal and official character. Senior Que
sada was unauestionably invited to be-
present and accepted the invitation.
There is a strong impression among many
of the official circle that Spain may re-
sent this as a recognition of the jurta
and thus of the Cuban Republic. 1t was
asserted by a State Department official
yesterday that if Spain saw ut it would
be entirely proper to consider this a rec
osnitiOn of the republic. and to act ac-
Cordingly- and Spain. on the other hand,
may fail to consider Senior Quesada as
anything else than a private individual
1t is said that either view may be taken
by Spain with entire regard for the in
ternationai proprieties according as her
inclination lies.
1t is suggested by many people that
Quesada is not recognized here as a rep
reSentatVe of Cuba: that Cuban indie
pendence has never been recognized. and
that until this is done he must be consid-
cred as simply a private individual on I
