4 GOOD III LORI.

A good theory doesn't always work we'll in practice. The Constitution of Illinois aims to have the judges cooper ate with the legislature in repeating bad laws and enacting good ones by provid- ing that all judges of courts of record inferior to the Supreme court shall each year report in writing to the judges of the Supreme court such defects and omissions in the laws as their experi- ence may suggest; and the judges of the Supreme court shall each year re- port in writing. to the governor such defects and omissions in the Constitu- ton and laws as they may find to ex- ist, together with appropriate forms of bills to cure such defects and omis- sions." Only one of the judges has been in the habit of sending in sugges- tions, and the value of this Constitu- tional provision has recently been dis cussed. Judge Gibbons, who has faith fully sent in his recommendations for six years said: T cannot say that I have accomplished anything by sending in these reports. h my opinion, if the judges were to agree upon certain changes as beneficial, the weight of their opinion and influence might re- suit in something being accomplished. " Judge Carter disagreed with Judge Gib- bons, saying: T have grave doubts that good results would come if the provision were carried out to the letter
 From time to time there have been such reports made, but I know of no instance where anything was accom- plished by making of them" Judge Stein said: None of these reports has

 Night caps are stylish again. It's all right about their being unhealthy for the hair, but they're not a bit worse than the rubbing and knotting result ing from sleeping with hair hanging down ones back. Besides, if the hair sows a tendency to undue dryness, course of night-cap (applied to the head from the outside, of course) will restore it's gloss. Wash silk prettily elaborat- ed by insertions of lace is favorite material, and though the mob-cap shape is the first to claim attention, all sorts of quaint patterns are revived, with flaps, tabs and adorably foppy frills, strings bows and oh-so-sweets of all sorts The final touch is the in- sertion of bag of sandlewood dust, powdered violets, vanilla or cinnamon anything individual and spicy-for per fume.

SELECTTNG TEXTBOOKS.

Chicago is just now interested in the school book question, and an educatlon- al commission has found that there is in this country a very wide diversity in the use and selection of text books. In a number of States the State board or education is vested with unusual power in this direction. Tn Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana the State boards prepare selected list of text books from which local principals may choose, while the State boards of Louisiana, California, Oregon and Washington specifically prescribe what text books shall be used. The States of New York New Jersey, Nebraska, Delaware and New Mexico provide by law for free text books, while the State of California prints it's own text books. In other States the de- cision is left to local authorities, gen. erally with the qualified ton that it may not be changed for period of from four to six years, a provision that has been uniformly sustained by the courts. In States where local authorities select the text books the prevailing practice is In favo1 of the selection of the books by the board of education or committee thereof, after consultation with the su- perintendent and principals. In many instances the superintendent is mem Der ex-off1cio of the committee which selects text books, while In five cases reported the superintendent alone is vested with full authority in this mat ter.
 So the people of Chicago don't feel that they can learn much from what other people do about choosing text books for the schools, there being no uniformity in the important work.
