The argument has been made by
enemies of Industrial education
that "all public schools would be
closed when the Industrial School
would be in operation, because the
maintenance of the industrial
School by the Parish would take
up all the school money of the
Parish. The inventor of this
might as we'll claim that all ex-
penses for maintaining the State
Insane Asylum will be paid here
after by the Parish of st. Martin.

very good editorial last week on

School: It would advertise the
Parish develop its resources and
bring it to to the attention of the
outside world.

CONVERSATION TO THE sTATEl
TREASURER'S SAFE-STATEs
RUNNING ACCOUNT TRANSFER
RED TO THIS cITY-REINvEsT-
MENT BILL STOLEN.
State Treasurer L. Heisler Ball has
made some radical changes in the sys-
tenn of his office. the one which has
created most comment among those
who are aware Of it being a transfer
of all the state securities from the safe
in the state treasurer's office at Dover
to the vaults Of the Equitable Guaran-
tee and Trust Company in this city. He
declines to discuss the matter. but
from persons who reside in this city
and Dover an Evening Journal re-
porter learns that he had an excellent
reason for making the change
For many years the securities have
rested in the State House and, fortu-
nately, none OF them have been lost. It
was not until Treasurer Ball learned
that at least twelve persons residing
in Dover. and probably as many in
other parts of the state, knew the com
bination of the safe and could enter it
at any time, that he made the change
in the depository. Treasurer Ball re-
sides near Brandywine Springs, this
county, and is at Dover only at stated
times. Hence, any evilly-disposed per-
son, knowing the combination Of the
safe, could have entered his Office in
the State House, made off with the Sc
curities and put him and his sureties,
as well as the state, in the worst sort
Of plight When the matter was call
ed to his attention he acted in a hurry,
and the valuable papers now repose in
the big yellow building at Ninth and
Market streets, this city.
The state securities are worth some
thing over s1,0OO,0OO, and, in addition
to them, there were insurance policies
and other papers of value in the safe
