TEACHING UNDER DIFFICULTIES,
An Arctic School Where There Were
Few Textbooks.

Miss Anna Fulcomer writes an article for
the June Century on "The Three RS at
Circle City" Miss Fulcomer says:
The greatest draw back to my school work
was the lack Of books. Naturally most of
the children req quired chart and primer,
neither OF which was included in the school
outfit, nor could they be obtained at Circle
City. Had there not bsen a good blackboard
and . plentiful supply OF crayon, scarcely

juncture, however. the missionary of tho
Church Of England. who was stationed for the

1t is wholly gratifying that with
all the display that is being made
these days Of our Flag there is so
little of former use of Old Glory
by business houses that desecrated
it with advertising across its
stripes or attached to its borders.
Indeed, public sentiment in this
direction has already proved so
effective as to make the proposed
law prohibiting such use of The
Flag for advertising purposes
almost unnecessary, although,
doubtless, there are exceptions to
the now quite generally observed,
if yet unwritten, law of keeping
hands off the Flag for advertising
purposes. We are reminded that
one prominent house in this city
which customarily flew large
American ensign from its roof with
the firm name on strip of bunt-
ing sewed to the edge of it has
long since abandoned that defacing
attachment and we have failed to
discover in this city but one
recent instance of the reprehen-
sible use of the Flag as an adver-
tising scheme.
This case, however, is particu-
larly offensive since it is so
thoroughly cheap and nasty. A
crude bit OF cotton designed to be
pinned to the coat lapel, perhaps,
and presuming to represent the
American Flag with nine stripes
is used for the sole purpose of an
advertising scheme by one of the
smaller business houses i'll town.
On one side of the bit of cotton
are the words Remember the
Maine " printed across the stripes
and on the other side, also across
the stripes, are the name and
address of the store pointed in
smutty black ink.
We doubt very much if the
business of that concern will be
accelerated By this sort of an adj
vertising scheme as just now the
public IS particularly sensitive to
having cheap advantage taken
of its patriotism. 1t is altogether
coarse and nasty thing is this
miserable counterfeit of the Flag
with the advertisement spattered
across the nine stripes.

The Journal observed some
weeks ago that, thanks to the
commanding interest in war, the
Hawaiian annexation proposition
would drop out of sight. AS
matter of fact, as the Journal now
knows, the war has given the pro-

Hawaii will be ours, thanks to the
war, for all the opposition of the

As an enlistment for the am

less Captain Barker's call to re-

sponse so that there will be a good
pick. The battery is already one
of the crack organizations of the

doubtless maintain the prestige
that Rhode Island won in the

Persons who think the progress
of tn war is slow ought to remind
themselves that, herculean as is
the undertaking of war, the present
one is proceeding with light ming
like rapidity compared, for instance,
with the law. Two months of
controversy before a court in some
petty case would hardly find the
lawyers on either side with their
papers ready to undertake the first
brush.

1t is significant of the advance
of public opinion that the discus
sion now as to the Philippines is
not concerned with their possession
or surrender, but as to how they
shall be governed. Nothing is
palmer than that the Philippines
are to be held on to. The Ameri-
can people already take that for
granted.
