PROMOTION IN SCHOOLS.

In his recently published book on
educational reform. says the Philadel-
rhia Public Ledger, President Eliot.
Of Harvard, makes the following state
ment ITO discriminate between pu-
pills of different capacity, to select the
competent for suitable instruction, and
to advance each pupil with appropriate
rapidity, will ultimately become, / be-
lieve, the most important functions of
the public school administrator-tho
functions In which he or she will be
most servlceable to families and to the
state"
The new ruling of the board Of
education, that hereafter promotions 10
the elementary schools shall be made
annually instead Of semi-annually, is
therefore, one of the greatest impor-
lance for good or evil, and the action
of the Association of School Directors
in appointing committee to draw up
protest against this rule is deserv-
ing of careful consideration In the
circular sent out by superintendent
Brooks it is stated that pupils who
have completed the work of the So
called A classes by the end of January
are to be retained in the same grade
until the end of June, and then pro-
noted" 1t is said that this clause
will keep back upward of 10000 chill
dren, and IL this is true 1t may be fifty
termed a great educational injustice
II is also claimed that thousands OF
children will be denied admittance to
the elementary schools this month be-
cause of the lower grades being over
crowded, with no prospect OF relief by
semi-annual promotions, as has been
the case In the past.

BUTTONS AND BUCKLES

Buttons and buckles are both worn
by women. but must have reason FOR
their being, either as objects OF use or
decoration; they are not TO be put on
at haphazard, but given something to
apparently hold in place. The jeweled
buttons may be found to match almost
any gown, as they are made to repre-
sent amethysts. carbunkles, enieralds,
turquoises, opals, sapphlres, crystals,
etc. The one-sided blouse fronts fast
en- with four such buttons, and the vel
vet belt has a buckle to match -.

Morrison by instructing her how to
act if they were ever in hotel that
was on fire.
He aud his wife were aroused from
their slumbers one night by an alarm.
The hotel in which they had their
rooms was on FIRE, and there was great
confusion and tumult among the
guests.
"Now is the time to put into prac-

Should Wear Loves Sign.

Women have gone on for ages past
wearing their symbols Of engagement
and marriage, never asking why their
fiances and husbands should move un-
marked midst men and maidens. This
is state Of things which call aloud
for alteration, and it is consumma.
tion devoutly to be wished that men
should start with the custom Of wear
ing first the jeweled circlet and then
the plain gold one--outward and visible
signs Of engagement and marriage.
The girls say they are placed at a dis.
advantage, and from more than one
point Of view. For instance, how em.
barrassing for young girl to be made
acquainted at distance with an sp-
parently eligible and undoubtedly at
tractiye youth, who, after the polite
formalities, suggests stroll through
the conservatory in lieu Of dancing a
certain number. What more natural
than the weaving Of the romantic spell
attendan. mnnn mccc!:. ccaso1 at.oIios,
murmuring palms, dreamy wel.z music
in the distance and the contiguity of
youth? What more natural than the
anticipation Of companionable, not
to say tender, acquaintance? And
what more disappointing than the
mattcr-offact announcement as the
man bids the maid adieu: Il would so
like to have you meet my 6ancee.
No, the girls say there ism fair
point about the existing conditions.
They advocate the wearing Of an en-
gagement ring by the man, just as an
engagement ring is worn by the wo-
msL. No one ever mistakes amen
gagged girl. Even without the ring,
the air of conscious superiority, Of
condescending good humor, would
stamp the young woman as mortgaged
property. And with the assistance
and addition of the ring there is abso-
lutely no chance for error. And what
is true Of engagements, so the girls
contend, is even more applicable after
marriage. A married man, wearing
no badge of servitude-if we except
the guilty look from the corner Of the
eye and the criminal and suspicion
arousing slapping of the letter pocket
is in imminent danger of being en-
gagged in dangerous converse by wo-
mankind. And, by the same token,
womankind is at times unwisely and
unwittingly kind to the unlabeled
married man. All entangling alli-
ances and dangerous complications
could be avoided by judioious use Of
the ring. The custom, once adopted
by an accepted leader, would undoubt-
edly rebound to the credit everlasting
OF the pioneer. There is no reason
why men should not wear engagement
rings, and every reason possible why
they should. They cannot object on
the score Of not liking such decora-
ton, NO ran objects 70 wearing che
badge Of particular Office or cross
or medal won for some heroic act.
Let men. therefore, when they have
won it, wear loves badge with greater
pride and gladness than any other

Empress last year from Lyons. 1t

The empress was so struck with its

to cut it up, and it was eventually

for this material is about double as

This question is one that interests
all the people in the State and many
schemes are being presented for It's
solution. In. this connection the fol-
lowing extract from a speech deliver
ed by Congressman Newlands Tues
day night before the Carson Chamber
Commerce will be of interest:
@Mr.Newlands also took up the ques-
ton OF q low tax rate as a means of
increasing settlement in Nevada. He
was Of the opinion that this was Of
great importance. In many counties
tho tax rate was nearly equal to the
rate Of interest in other States and
such tax rate had an unfavorable
effect upon people thinking of making
investments in the State. He favor
ed pledging both parties next year to
State levy of so cents on the hun
dred and to the passage of law lin
iting the tax rate in all counties, e1-
cept perhaps Storey, and possibly one
or two others, to one dollar on the
hundred. exclusive of interest or
debt. He claimed that this method
would result IN uniform tax rate of
about one and one half per cent and
would compel an increase in the gen.
eral assessment. 1t would tend to
equalize assessments as between in
dividuals and counties and would
force on the assessment roll consider
able property That is now escaping
taxation. His view was that a low
tax rate meant good government as
a low assessment meant bad govern
ment as it always implied great ine-
quality and an effort to escape public
O bigations.

laying particular stress on the fact that
he was the motive power of it all. AS
soon as their entertainer paused for
breath the visiting Indians began to
grunt and talk among themselves.
What are they saying?" asked the
egotistical clerk, expecting to hear high
praise of himself. "Ten me what thew
are saying"

But the little man insisted, and with
great reluctance the Interpreter finally
yielded. They said" he translated,
