regular monthly notice which is sent
home by mail. They will be sent to the
respective homes on Friday of this
week.

The lessons in some of the classes
Monday were not up to the average and
as result many of the students had
very late dinner The lessons of Tues
day, although rot as good as might be,
were an improvement on Mondays.

decided upon.

Yesterday the Sophomore classical
met with a great surprise as they en-
tered upon the usual Greek recitation
Instead of the lessons which had been
assigned they faced a quite difficult ex-
animation. Although taken completely
unawares the pupils made a good
showing.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-20

The meeting which was held last Fri
day is causing considerable discussion
among the pupils, especially the boys
Therefore this very unpleasant affair,
which has already been the means of
placing some of the students in a very
embarrassing position, should be laid
aside and forever forgotten.

JUDGE CLARK PRAISED.
His Dissenting Opinion in the Day Case
Universally Endorsed.

The press, bar and public have univer-
ssally endorsed Judge Clark's dissenting
opinion in the Day case. The Fayette-
vile Observer copied it in full from the
News and Observer and said:
Judge Clark's dissenting opinion is a
very able document. 1t is not only
that. but it is truly democratic and
Jeffersonian in the respect that it up
holds the paramount position which the
legislative branch of government must
occupy if free institutions are to be
preserved.
THE State is fortunate in having on
the Supreme court bench one Demo-
crat to record a protest against the
prevalent Republican tendency to exalt
the executive and the Judiciary at the
expense of the law making part of the
government Judge Clark is our ablest
citizen, adjoining his position in the
State and attracting the admiration of
thoughtful and patriotic men beyond
her borders

NO NEWS FROM THE AROMA.
Thirty.Two Days Out From Portland
Not Heard From.

At the Thomson line offices in this city
anxiety for the safety of the Aroma Is In
creasing daily. The steamer left Portland
for Liverpool thirty two days ago, having
on board a general cargo of grain and
other comm odities. Since then nothing
has been heard from the steamer. 1t is
now certain that she Is in trouble Of some
kind. The officers think she Is disabled
and is proceeding under sail, in which
case she will eventually arrive at Liver
poll all right.
There is a curious coincidence in this
connsction. Last year Captain Baxter
was commander of the Corona He laid
of trip. staying at his home in Eng
land. On this trip the Corona was lost,
though only one life was lost. Captain
Baxter was then given charge of the
Aroma. This trip he laid off again. and
is now at home in England. The Aroma
is long overdue and it is feared she may
have met the same fate as the Corona.

WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD.
To the Editor of the Press:


The question whether Greater Portland
shall enlarge the working force of the
school board is prominently before the
minds of the people at this time. The
Woman's Council is frequently receiving
testimonials Of interest in the movement
like the following:
| most heartily endorse the movement
to have women on the school board of our
city. The majority of our public school
teachers are women, why should there
not, then be at least three women on the
school board? Who has deeper. truer in
lest in the boys and girls than the
mothers, and who are more suited to
counsel and direct in the education Of
boys and girls than wise intelligent
mothersg
l believe the good sense of the voters OF
our city Will prompt them to grant the
modest request of our women in placing
three women on the school board of Port
land. WlLBU Il +. BERRY,
