The Free School Problem.
f"rr1mbull, in New York Herald

('"Trumbull' in New York Herald)
The Journal and Courier of New Ha-
ven, one of the ablest papers in the
State and the most steadfast to the
traditional lines of journalism, gives
deserved space to lengthy criticism
of my review, two weeks ago, of the
free schooling in Connecticut as evil
denced by the situation in New Haven.
If the expression of ones opinion has
any value at all, it has the double val
ue of converting others to ones own
point of view, and, though do not en-
tirely grasp 'Genevieve Hale White
lockes" (South Norwall1) argument, l
welcome her entrance into the field of
discussion.
I do not at all resent her sound ad-
vocacy of a higher education, and
should be the last to discourage it's
attainment by every one. My inquir-
les are exclusively directed at discov-
ering the limit which the public purse
must set, out of consideration to other
equally important things, to it's ex-
penditure. If she should go, or carry
the community with her, to the logical
conclusion of her argument, practical
ly all of the revenues now raised by To-
cal taxation would be required for
school purposes.
1 quite agree with her that the sub
ject of ''frills," or non-essentials, is not
easily determined. Like the eternal
tariff question, it is a local issue.
What one parent considers a legiti-
mate finishing and adernment of her
child's intellect" she truthfully says,
another parent considers mere 'frills'

A DILEMMA.

A notable thing has happened in
Rochester. New York. The boys in the
chemistry class of the Free Academy
there have just carried off all the
prizes from the girls for bread-making.
This remarkable event can be explained
in two ways. Either the boys are
smarter than the girls in what has
been supposed to be the girls own
sphere or else the girls didn't care to
win. In either case the affair is dis
turbing. If boys can make bread bet
ter than girls can it is pretty clear that
boys ought to make bread. If they
ought to civilization is all wrong, for
the theory has been that girls ought to
make bread while boys do other and
grander things. If the girls can make
bread better than the boys can and if
the girls have deliberately declined to
win in this contest it is a horrifying
sign of the times. 1t indicates that
the girls are going back on their
sphere and are aiming to get into
sphere which is not theirs. 1t is
hard to tell which horn of the dilemma
is the more uncomfortable to be i'm
paled upon. 1t is tough to think of
fine, vigorous boys doing duty as
read-makers while the girls have all
the fun and the victories, and it is
equally tough to think of girls who
might amount to something in their
own sphere rafting loosely around in
a sphere in which they can't amount
to much

HOW CAIRO GOT IT'S NAME.

Cairo received its name from the
accidental settling of "a crow upon a
certain string. The naming of the
place dates from the year 800, when
Goher, a Tunis general, invaded Egypt
and prepared to found a new city
there. The curious circumstances I'M
der which it received its title are thus
related by Curzon' in his Visits to
Monasteries on the Levant." The ar
chitect having made arrangements
for laying the first stone of the new
wall, waited for the fortunate mo-
ment, which was to be shown by the
astrologers pulling cord extending
to considerable distance from the
spot. A certain crow, however, who
had not been taken into the counsel
of the wise men, perched on the cord,
which was shaken by his weight, and
the architect, supposing that the APP
pointed signal had been given, com
menced his work accordingly. From
this unluclly omen, and the veXation
felt by those concerned, the epithet
of Kahira (the veXatious or unlucl<y)
was added to the name of the city,
Mars ell Kahira, meaning the 'unlucky
city of Egypt.) Kahira in the Ttal-
ian pronunciation, has been softened
into Cairo"

Adams Tax Law COnsidere Il.

At the meeting of the | IVY Court yes
terday number of assessors present dis
cussed the Adams tax law relative to the
taxation of investments.
The Levy CouG is DELAYED month in
preparing its annual budget on account
Of the lateness of actor on the Adams
tax law. The assessors have until June
25th to make their returns, SO that it will
be about July lst before the cou,v can
figure on the probable revenue from all
sources. Heretofore the coui. generally
fixed the tax rate in June and had the
duplicates in the hands of the collectors
early in July.
The question of whether railroad
bonds and stock were taxable under the
act again received the consideration of
John II. Rodney, attorney. Charles q.
Rumford gave it as his view that it was
not intended to tax this properly. Mr..
Rodney also holds the opinion that the
Legislature did not intend to tax the
railroads, but he further holds that the
law as it stands covers them.
The coult authorized the Street and
Sewer Directors to connect with the
county sewer at Ninth and French
streets, the city not to impair the value
OF the sewer and to make necessary re-
pairs.

The Board OF Health.

At the meeting at the Board OF Health
last night several complaints Were read
to the members which came in, in the
past week. The first one read was sent
in from neighbors OF the house at POI
West Sixth street about stagnant water
coming from a broken pipe from the
kitchen and running out on the street.
The pipe was ordered fixed and con-
nected with the sewer. Second COM
plant was from the lot at the southeast
Coz ler of third and Searles street, which
is full OF stagnant water, weeds, dead
dogs and dead cats. The lot was or
dered to be connected in the sewer in ten
days. Third, at POS Tatnall street, water
in cellar and detective drainage. Or
dered connected in the sewer in five
days.
At 3l6 East Ninth street, water in
cellar. 1t was given to Contractor Ward.
At 4l2 South Van Buren street com
plant was sent in for defective drainage
and it was ordered fixed by the board 10
days ago and not being finished vet the
board gave them five days more.
At PIG Van Buren street, water in
cellar; it was ordered out in 10 days.
The property at the southea corner
of Twelfth and West streets has been a
nuisance for nearly year on account OF
not being connected with the sewer and
on wash days the water runs on several
pavements. The alley and pipes were
ordered to be connected with sewerage.
A letter was received from the Street
and Sewer Department which stated that
they were putting several streets in re-
pair, and asked the board if th,y had any
work to be done on streets running north
and south. Seventh and Twelfth streets
are in need of connections in several
places and the numbers of the houses
were sent in to the board.
A talk was had by the members of the
board relative to the cleamatory and
they all thought that two like the old
one would be better than the new one
1t is probable that in the winter q site
will be selected on which to erect another
one.

Several hundred people visited Mont

were kept busy all day showing the Wis.,
itors around camp. Colonel Porter will
try and stop the boys from coming in
town as number have gotten drunk
and acted disorderly. Judge Ball had
two in court Monday and said if it
wasn't stopped that he would send them
to New Castle.
The new order will probably Ec read
to them this ai,ernoon, and instead OF
notifying the captains OF the companies
when they are arrested they will be sent
to Jail. Some of the Montchann boys
are anxious for the order to be passed
and some are not. When they come to
this city they generally stay over until
the following morning and have good
time OF ii.
About 500 persons visited the camp
yesterday and stayed until a..er the
guard mount at clock.
There was some talk of the Winning
ton and Northern Railroad running an
excursion to the camp Sunday from
Reading and points north, thus enabling
the parents and relatives of the soldiers
to spend day with their boys. The
clothing of the younger members OF Il e
battalion were inspected yes rday and
all, with the exception OF about eight,
passed a good inspection and Tor the
large dress parade Sunday they have all
been busily cleaning and brushing them.
General wash day will be Friday or
Saturday afternoon. The grass and high
bushes around the camp has all been cut
down and the picture gallery W lich was
blown down by the storm two weeks ago
is in working operation again and several
soldiers and their sweethearts have had
their pictures taken. Col. du Pont visits
the camp nearly every day.
The boy from Con pany |, who was in
