ONE HONEST ARMY CONTRACTOR

HE GAVE THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY MORE
BREAD THAN CONGRESS EXPECTED OF HIM.
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: I called attention in n communication pub
llshed by you recently to the fact that scandals
IN the commissariat Of our Revolutionary Army
were not unknown. and quoted letter from Sur
geon- General Cochran complaining that the sup
plies IN the hospital under his charge had been
exhausted for n fortnight, and that the brave fe-
Iovs confined within It's walls were being sub
iected to unnecessary suffering through the Grim
inal negligence OF those who should have seen 10
Il that the institution was amply provisloned.
added that. while some excuse might be found Tor
this state OF things In the American ARM OF that
Acknowledgment led often by inexperienced off,
GERS and depending for pay upon A frequently
dopleted treasury-there could be none for similar
experiences in an organization enlisted TO hght the
battles Of n nation seventy million strong-a hatoh
learned in the art of war through century OF
almost continuous fighting.
Lest however / may have conveyed the impress
sion that the Revolutionary commssarlat was
worse than 1t actually was let me cite the case OF
Christopher Ludwig. n worthy German, who, on
Nav s. III was appointed by Congress 'Superin-
tendent Of Bakers and Director of Baking IN the
Army Of the United States" On being notified or
his appointment by Congressional committee ne
was told that for every pound OF flour Delivered 20
him he would be expected to furnish a pound OF
bread. .,,os po,,,- rrdu,,g
"T shall do nothing OF the kind. did not accept
the position to which you have done me me hohoII
to appoint in order to rob the country ano
starve the brave men you have commanded me 10
feed On the contrary, shall, for every 100 POUNDS
Of -four given me. return to your commlssariet 30
pounds OF bread" .,. -.
The committee unlearned in the, mysteries OF
weight caused by the addition to the -four Of water

THE HONE AND THE SCHOOLS
STATE SUPERINTENDENT SKINNER's IN
TEREsT IN A CLOSER RELATION
BETWEEN THEM.


To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: It Is gratifying to notice the increased
interest manifested by good men and good news
papers in the various movements which have
for their object the closer relation between our
homes and our schools. have not failed to
notice the editorials which The Tribune has
given us IN this direction. I was deeply inter
ested in your comments upon Mr.. Vroomans
recent address. the central thought OF which
was that the home is the best club. This fur
nshes a text for the earnest consideration Of all
who would help to establish closer relation
ship between our parents and our teachers.
This is a subject which has long been deeply
interesting to me. In my report to the Legis-
lature for 1897, in discussing the home and the
school, I offered the following observations,
which seem to be in line with the movement
which IS now exciting so much interest in educa-
tlonal circles;
Those who believe that our educational system
can be strengthened by arousing deeper public
interest In popular education can ma ABUNDANT
cause for ENCOURAGEMENT in the indications
which are everywhere apparent OF efforts TO es-
tablish closer relations between our homes ana
our schools; a desire to interest parents in the
work Of their children. and to secure co-opera-
ton among parents and teachers. When the
fathers and mothers Of the State love their
schools because their children attend them
we can safely hope for better conditions and
better results. The closer the relation between
home and school, the more satisfactory VIII be
the work Of teachers. parents and pupils. The
people do not fully understand that their duty
is not done when they pay the school taxes ana
send their children to school. Their interest
must follow the children. and there must be
school out Of school" The good influence or
the teacher will extend beyond the schoOlroom,
and should be supplemented by good influences
at the freslde and around the family table. The
work Of the best teacher will count for little II
not sustained and encouraged by healthy and
helpful home influences. Parents should Know
the teachers. and teachers should know the
parents-shoud know something Of the homes
from which the children come-shoud be told OF
the likes and dislikes. the habits and peculiarl-
ties Of the children whom they teach. This is
most important phase OF child study. All eff
forts therefore, which bring parents and teach
ers into closer relationship should be encour-
aged.
desire to express my deepest interest in this
movement CHARLES r. SKINNER,
State Superintendent Of Public Instruction.

COMMENTS on EMpERoRs MESSAGE.

Berlin March 7.-Emperor williams message OF
sympathy to Mrs. Rudyard Kipllng occasioned by
her husbands serious Illness, Is commented upon
by the press hero to-day. Tho "Vossche-Zetung"
says: This manifestation of the Emperors
and the recent by German Ministers form a
pleasant contrast TO the statements that
Germany is about to declare a tariff war on the
United States. The German nation. the con-
trary is strongly DESTROYS OF living in peace with
America, economically WELL but hopes for full
reciprocity. and that the legitimate interests OF
Germany will be considered"
The sem-ofiicial Post" says Tho great cordl-
atty with which our Monarch honors Mr. Kipng
ought 10 be calculated 10 remind Americans. after
a period Of artificial enhancement which trust
is past. that they will nowhere find reader and
moro joyful recognition OF the brilliant features
Of their character than from their cousins here,
and first, from imperial leader"

Cir. think well OF Chancellor MacCrackens
nIan-or almost any planto introduce military drill
and discipline into public schools or all the
physical exercises in IN this school-and We
have football baseball. gymnasium track athletics
and the rest-we get the best results for mind and
bodv and for moral tone well from the military
DIN and I have had observation Of II for over
thirteen years. As to your suggestion that the
bows are ''unduly impressed with the idea OF joining
the Army or Navy" we have not found 1t so. Pre-
vlously TO "our late with Spain few OF our
graduates aimed to enter either.
when the war came on n number Of our grad
yates entered the Army volunteers In different
States and the usefulness Of their military educa-
,on was illustrated by the fact that seven OF our
ex-cadets were commissioned ohicers-second heu-
tcnanfs admtant and captain-in the Army. the
NJ, tho Marine Corps and the volunteers. besides
Inanv who we're non-commissioned officers in the
va ri0us arms OF service. -, -,
