SCHOOL MELANGE.

IN preparing these notes, the last for
the school year, the writer takes occa-
sion TO thank tho Intelligencer for the
courtesles extended to him during the
year and for the generous treatment OF
the poorly penncd articles, written on
the educational topics OF the day. It
has been his aim to be fair In every re-
spect and the only object in taking the
time and the trouble to do the work has
been the furthcrGnce OF the cause OF
education. especially in the schools Of
Wheeling. but generally throughout the
state; hence. educational topics In gen.
eral have been treated. and our schools
from the university down have been
noticed us the occasion was presented.
One Great hindrance to the full sue
cess or our schools has been the apathy
OF the patrons in general concerning
them. Not that they oppose them, but
they let them simply take care OF
themselves. The writer is convinced
that the full success of our schools de-
pencs upon the hearty corporation of
teacher and parent and hence in these
notes he has always urged upon the
parent the necessity OF paying more ut
tentlon to the manner In which their
children are being taught, 1. c.. assist
the teacher in her work by their SYM
pathy. II nothing moro. and he further
states that during the next school year
he expects to have regular meetings OF
teachers and parents. |. e.. joint meet
ings, II parents can be induced to at
tend.

The report of Richie school for the
month Of June shows an enrolment OF
ST.. the smallest monthly enrolment of
the year. This Is very unfortunate for
any school. but as far rs known 10 the
writer. 1t Is the same with all the other
schools OF the city. Who is to blame
for this? Undoubtedly. the parent. Pu-
pills are allowed TO stay ut home as soon
Is the hot days come. but when the
next term opens they expect to be al
lowed to take their places in the same
class they left two or three months be-
fore school closed. This Is not right.
Parents should See to 1t that their chill

things would not be so. To make any

after that there will be more hearty

this matter.

The Good work at Santiago.

The halt which Havana has called on San

lean rule is a very high compliment to the
latter city. And 1t is a thoroughly we'll

binary progress in every direction tending
to the throwing off completely of every
cloCgfng feature of the old Spanish regime.

A Sample OIeO Fraud

All incident has come to the knowledpa
Oh Inc Star which indicates that imitation
outteF FRAUDS are still practiced I'm this
CITY despite all the exposures and the At
eehIpts at prosecution. A housekeener for
TWO years past has been buying at a GER
tam establishment particular line Of what
oIe peheVed 10 be pure butter of the best
quaIity. She invariably paid the highest
price currently commanded by the choicest
putter She always asked for this same
commodity and received it unquestioningly.
After many months something about the
outter aroused her suspicious and she
submitted sample of a recently purchased
quantity to a chemist, with the immediate
result that she was told she had been buy
ing an ordinary grade of oleomargarine.
indignant at the fraud. she went at once
TO the dealer and protested, whereupon the
dealer blandly told her that of course she
had been buying imitation butter all the
time and that he had supposed she knew
what she was getting. This impudent ds-
hance. OF the law was the more fragrant be-
cause OF its frank confession. 1t is appar-
ent that the purchaser did not know she
was getting imitation butter, because she
was willingly paying price that shs knew
to be at least fifty per cent higher than
that usually commanded by oleomargarine.
Had she wanted the imitation and bought
it she would have paid the lower sum.
Such cases ought to be taken Immediately
into court and prosecuted. 1t is unfortu-
nate that the legal processes have thus far
been so slow in their punishment Of the
miscreants who practice this fraud. Aside
from any question of the wholesomeness
of the fake product, the moral iniquity of
the transaction warrants the seyerest pen
alties. Housekeepers must evidently be on
their guard at all times, for it is plain from
the incident just related that the frauds
are still in progress.
