The Schools for Next Year.

The defeat Of the charter forecIoses
all chance of relieving our schools from
the financial embarrassments under
which they have labored since some Of
our s&gacious f1nanciers discovered that
the way to reduce taxation was to de-
crease the value of the property upon
which taxes are levied. The schools
were the only victims Of this remarka-
BILE piece Of mismanagement. They
We're caught between the upper stone
OF the tax limit and the neither stone
or largely reduced valuation and
ground. The reductions made in other
departments were speedily restored, the
aggregate of taxation diminished only
by the decreases made in support of
the schools, but the distribution of tax
alton, through Encouragement of valua-
tons, was shifted from capable to Sore
~ burdened shoulders. To illustrate.
Well, out in the suburbs a house and
lot were formerly appraised at S2,75O.
the house at $1,250, the lot at 81, 800. In
1896, under the reform and reduction
plan, the lot was reduced to 81. 100 but
the house, then some ten years old.
was raised to $1,65O; total s2,750. Mean
while speculative holdings of vacant
lots were reduced in value.
The school board will close the year
with a small deficit. 1t faces another
year which will present heavier de-
mands upon the funds. Repairs that
have been deferred must be made. for
when deterioration sets in it moves
with increasing speed. There is a most
1mprovident increase of the child popu-
lation; people are so inconsiderate of
public necessities, and the Youngsters
come into the primaries faster than
they go out of the grades. More school
houses are needed; more teachers; more
money. And the board faces small
shortage now and a bigger one next
year. Unless. What? Nothing but an
increase in the quantity or the valua-
ton of property on which taxes can
be laid. That is the situation, from
which there is no escape. 1t is either
cut down the schools, catch property
that habitually lodges taxation, or pull
up the valuation.

Views on the Subject.

Their influence, Growth and Dan
gers Amelia Gere Mason's
Views on the Subject.
..It is not too much to say" writes Amelia
Gere Mason, in the. Century Illustrated
Monthly Magazine of May, "that the entire
present generation Of women Is going to
school. Infancy cultivates it's mind in the
kindergarten while the woman Of three
score seeks consolation and diversion in clubs
or a university course instead Of resgning
herself to seciusion and prayers, or to CHM
ney corner and knitting, after the manner Of
her ancestors.
'.The central points of all this movement
are the womens clubs, of which. the social
element is conspicuous feature, and we take
our learning so comfortably diluted and
pleasantly varied that 1t ceases to be formid-
able though on the side Of learning 1t may
leave much to be desired.
But of women's clubs there is no end,
and they are yet in their vigorous youth.
They multiply, federate, hold conventions,
organize congresses and really form vast
educational system that is fast changing old
ideals and opening possibilities Of which no
prophetic eye can see the end. That they
have marvelousiy raised the average STAN
dard of intelligence cannot be questioned, nor
that they have brought out large number
of able and interesting women who have gen.
e1cusly taken upon themselves not only their
own share of the work of the world, but a
great deal more"
The writer then goes on to show that the
American women are in danger of going too
fast, of making this ample means Of eman-
cpation but a. newer and heavier form of
tyranny. Another point Of interest is the
contrast drawn between the modern club
which is distinctively for self-improveme MT
and the French salon which was established
as an elegant back ground upon which the
mighty or mitely talents CT Frenchmen
could cast their impressive shadows. Why
this change of attitude?" Why should
women go off now by, themselves to study
instead of learning in the genial light and
warmth Of the brilliant assembly of the
salon? If one were inclined to draw a car
toon representing the cause of their divorce
he might picture huge printing press rest
Ing on a crushed salon. the women scram-
bling out on one side, the men on the other.
These salons attracted men because they were
the best and pleasantest places to propagate
their ideas and advertise their works. now
It. Is easier and more effective to do it through
the press, and then to go and have a little
chat and smoke at the mems club. Hence
ing all things into consideration they are
not going to pine away for want of mental
activity.

GRIGsBY AND HIS COWBOYS.
Army Officers Are Arranging for
Their Transportation.

The quartermas ter's department at the
Army building yesterday received Instructions
from Washington to arrange for the transpor-
tation of Grigsby's cowboy regiment, to be
known as the Third United States volunteer
cavalry. from points in Montana, North and
South Dakota, to Chickamauga.
The different ST. Paul lines were requested
to submit bids some time this week.
The rangers from Deadwood Bellefourche
and Sturgis will form companies, and will
probably be transported in body.
The Montana cowboy troops will all pass
through this city, and it Is expected that the
congress of rough riders will be given an
enthusiastic send-off.
The unique regiment will go to the front
LOCO strong, and will form part of Teddy
Roosevelts command. They will use their
own bronchos, which will be purchased from
them by the government.

writer in the Staats-Zeitung corrects a
very common supposition in regard to the
heating capacity Of wood, the most no able
fact in the case being that such practical
and easily demonstrable error should so long
have prevailed, namely, that the heating ca
pacity of hard wood is greater than that of
soft wood. The fact, as ascertained by re-
peated determinations, Is that the greatest
heating power Is possessed by one of the
softest varieties of such material, viz, the
linden. Taking Its heating capacity for the
unit, the second best heater is also a soft
wood-fir, with 0.99 heating power; next fol-
low the elm and the pine, with 0.98; willow
chestnut, larch, with 0.97; maple and spruce
fir, with 0.96; black poplar, with Os5; alder
and white birch, with 0.94 only; then comes
the hard oak with O.92; the locust and

-Artemus Ward, catching the idea
from the crowds of single-starred Of
ficers he saw in Washington while the
Civil war was in progress, with mock
seriousness proposed to raise an army
whose privates should. all be brigadiers.
The army of Spain comes close to
the jovial satirist's plan. An ex-at-
tache says, in the New York Tribune,
that every fifth man in that army is
an officer. The cable told uS the other
day how the queen regent took counsel
Of meeting composed Of twenty-sev-
en- admirals, and we know that all the
admirals of their navy were not there.
The Spanish army register is said to
bear the names Of $50 lieutenant gen.
erals. Compared with that, how in
significant is that array of three
major generals who hold commissions
in our regular army. And, as each
lieutenant general is the focus Of host
Of subordinate officers, the statement
that 20 per cent of Spain's army are
officers is not amiss.
