BERLIN. Sept 2i-The first of SER
les Of meetings by friends Of the
Transvaal was held here to-day and a
telegraph message was sent to Emperor
William asking for his aid In prevent
ing war between Great Britain and
the South African republic. An out
break Of war In the Transvaal Is re-
Karded here as question OF q few
days, or at the most, OF weeks. Neither
the attitudo Of the. people or press has
changed materially. Without eHcep-
ton they disapprove Of such war aud
blame Great Britain for badgering the
Transvnal beyond endurance. The
whole Conservative. lingo, ant.Semite.
Agrarinn. UltfRmontane and Center
press side with the Beers.
The "Kreuz Zeitung' says: "No mat
ter how things may develop, II Is GER
tain England is preparing another act
Of brutal coercion"
The ''Vossische Zeltung' says: War
Is a foregope conclusion. England Is
only delaying hostilities In order to
gain time to prepare sufficiently large
army Of invasion. II will not be ready
until the middle OF October. The Beers,
Just now are stronger, In a military
sense"
The "Deutsche Tages zeitung' says:
Germany, unquestIonably. has the
strongest interest in maintaining the
independence OF the BOer states, which
form natural wall Of protection
against the British possessions. The
people must demand that the govern
ment vigorously protect these imports
ant interests" The "Lelpslg Neuste
NachrIchten" asserts that II the
Africa can no longer be held. The
"Deutsche Zcitung'' severely blames
the government for its inactivity In the
quarrel.
In spite Of these. criticisms the gov
eminent has not altered its views or at
tltude. This Is evident from the In
splred utterances OF the government
press. The Hamburg Correspondent"
again points out that Germany can only
look on In the struggle. adding: Ger
many, IN THIS respect, Is situated pre-
cisely like France. whose sympathies
are with the Beers"
A foreign ONCE ofiicial said to-day:
"That little Boer nation VIII finally
succumb and. probably. win be wiped
out OF existence. Still, there Is no oc-
casiOn and no political or moral right
for us to Interfere So long Us our un-
doubted rights are respected by the
belliGerents we shall not interfere"
Experts are beginning to speculate
on the probable outcome Of the war and
the losses on both sides. The "Kreus
ZeltUng" says:
1.-THE British plan Is. an invasion on
three sides simultaneously, from
Rhodesia, Natal and Mafeklng. or
Kimberly. The best and most effective
part OF the English forces VIII probably
be the volunteers raised in South Afrl-
ca. There are 1000 mounted men nl-
ready in Rhodesia, which, with other
volunteers, viii be the real corps Of the
expedition"
In the frankfort Zeltung" General
Won Boguslawssy. a military writer OF
note, predicts that the British win sus-
tain enormous losses in the Transvaal,
owing, mainly. to the infeTiorlty OF their
officers and their inability to under
stand or apply modern tactics"

The enrolment Of the city schools tn
ken September 10 win be increased
somewhat when cold weather begins. It
is the same story as to the division Of
the sexes in the schoOls-the number OF
boys predominatlng in the primary
rooms while In the grammar grades, the
girls largely outnumber the boys. This
Is not as It should be. but II will con-
tinue thus until something special Is
done to cause our boys to be willing
and anxious to go through the school
course. The one who hits on some de-
vice to do this Will be a benefactoT to
the boys at least. One way Of keeping
the boys in school Is to treat them as
though they were human beings, and
not as necessary evils that must be
borne with along with the other Ills that
life Is heir to. This VIII apply to the
homes as well as TO school. In too
many homes the boy Is made to feel
that he Is In the way and Is q nuisance
generally and driven from the house he
seeks company on the street that often
leads him to ruin. II tenchers and par
ents would both consider this matter
well many boys, who have learned to
hate school. and home. too, sometimes,
might be reclaimed. How to keep our
boys in school Is one Of the live ques-
lions with educators Much better
would It be to solve this than to be taxi
ing up the time in profitless discussions
on spelling reform, Herbortism, nature
study and even child study, though per-
haps the proper study OF children
might lead to the very result so much
desired. Anyhow teachers, let US all
try to remember that the teaching OF
the branches Is really subsidiary 70 the
great work Of the character building.

The charge is made often that our
public school boys and girls become
more unruly and harder to govern as
they grow older. This charge may be
true In part. but II so. It Is not the
fault OF the schools, but they become
so In spite OF the school. It Is the yer.
lest bosh to intimate that anything in
our schools tends toward this. II Is the
street influence and the lack OF home
training that IS responsible for 1t. One
night on the street. or one failure on
the part OF thct parent to sustain the
teacher In her efforts toward having
good discipline. VIII undo oil the effects
OF months OF faithful etfort on the part
OF the teacher. This is referred to so
often from the fact that the writer
knows from experience that all trouble
arises from one or the other OF these
causes. Again attention is called to the
fact that we do not realize as we should
the Importance Of knowing our pupils
In their home environments. The tench-
er and the parent should know each
other and second one another in all ef
forts made for the child.

sCHooL MELANGE.


The summer quarter Of the West vir-
glnIa University Just closing, has been a
very successful one; which must be
gratifying to all concerned. There were
in all $50 students enrolled and these
represented fourteen states. besides
thlrty-eIght counties OF West Virginia.
The enrolment last summer was 1873.
This shows a gratifying increase and
decides the question as to whether the
summer sessions win be a success. It
is a great opportunity for teachers who
are anxious to excel In their profession
and all ought to be anxious to excel.
Our university is now ranking with the
very best of the land. and 1t is beeom-
Ing more and more apparent as time
passes that there was no mistake made
in putting President Raymond at It's
head. The value Of a man Is generally
shown by his works, and DR.. Raymond
can afford to be Judged In this way. In
speaking thus we detract not whit
from his able corps Of teachers many OF
whom. are personally known to the
writer. To them belongs much Of the
praise, but as leader the doctor has
shown himself the man for the place.
May the success attending the school
since he took charge Of II but portend
the greater success that awaits It In
the future. West Virginia Is Justly
proud Of her free school system, and
what II now Is. can be made much bet
ter as the years go by, with the help OF
the band OF men and women who are
issuing from the walls Of our uniyer-
slty. May the time never come when
our state takes backward step educa-
tionally.

1t is very unfortunate that there Is
any friction ut the state university
among the members of the faculty and
the president, or among any Of the
members Of the board OF regents and
the faculty. II the only charge that
can be brought against the regents Is
that they practically allow the presi-
dent to select the teachers, then the
board need not worry, for they SHOW
their good sense I'm being guided by his
wishes. II Mr.. Raymond Is the man
for the place, and he Is held RESPONSE
bic for the success of the school, who
has II better right to select the faculty
than Mr.. Raymond himself? This
ought to be the rule followed in all
schools where there are a number OF
teachers. The superintendent Of city
school, II he is held responsible, for the
success OF the schools under his charge,
ought TO have much to do with the Sc
lection OF his teachers. II the matter Of
selecting teachers were left to the SUI
perlateHdeat and principals. there
would soon be n great change for the
better In the schools throughout the
land,

gates working with lever from the
alley should be suspended above the
troughs, to shut the hogs away from
them while putting in the feed.
A platform the width of the alley,
with the proper incline and at the end
Of the alley most accessible TO wagon,
furnishes very convenient way of
loading and unloading hogs. The
small doors opening from each pen to
the alley makes such platform avail
able. The location of pggery should
be high and dry. and a southern eK-
posture is desirable because more sun
shine, especially in winter, is thus made
available. The pen should be reason
ably warm. so that close budding Of
the swine will not be necessary in or
der to be comfortable. Good ventila-
ton without direct draft is imperative.

Where pigeons are kept it is too
often the practice to house them in
some low loft under the caves. where
it is inconvenient to visit them and
where the birds often suffer neglect.
If possible it is better to have quarters
upon the ground floor and preferably
in separate building. The pigeon
house may well be made an ornament
to the place. With this idea in view the
accompanying illustrtion is given.
This represents a small and mex
pensive house built in attractive lines
and thoroughly suited to the purpose
for which it is intended. 4 small hall

cess to a commodious room on each
side. flight" on either end of the
house opens out from these two lofts.
Such a little house stained and COW
