WEST Of GULCH
SCHOOL BOARD DECIDES TO PRO-
CEED WITH ERECTION OF
TEMPORARY HOUSE
CHANGES IN SYSTEM
OF CREDIT FOR STUDIES,
Made on Superintendent Young's In.
struction-Report Of the School
Census

| The meeting of the school board last
evening was attended by a number of in
structors who are engaged in the Teach
ers' Institute work.
In accordance with instructions given
a week 90, Trustee White, of the COM
mittee on buildings, reported a plan for
a school building to be erected west of
Missouia gulch in order to accommodate
the overflow from Lincoln school. 1t is
the intention to put up a temporary
structure at as small cost as possible,
which will be replaced later on by a sub
stantial building in that locality. The
plans submitted call for four rooms 24x36
each, with 12-foot ceilings, The cost will
be about 81, 500. A number Of sites are
available, n the board will his week
select one that can be used later as a
site for the permanent building. The
specifications will be submitted to con-
tractors as soon as possible, and final
action may be taken next Wednesday
night.
superintendent Young suggested some
changes In the school rules, especially
with reference to scholarships. Under
present rules attendance and department
are computed with the standing of the
pupil in the classes. Mr.. Young thought
that the student should be given credit
for his progress in his studies, even
though he should be compelled to be alb
sent for a few days, provided that he
kept up with his work by additional
study at night.
This suggestion received the endorse
ment of the trustees inc the changes
were made.
Bills amounting to $1,13S.91 were or
dered paid. together with the regular
monthly salary list.
The resignation Of Margaret T. Laugh
lin was accepted.
Clerk Richards presented the following
statement of the school census, showing
the number of white males between s
and p years to be 5,247: white females,
same ages, 5,276; colored males, 6 to 81
years. 10; colored females, same ages,
20: Chinese, 6 to q years. Al: Chinese
females, same ages. 1. The total is 10, GOA,
with 5.112 under the age of 6, giving a
grand total of 5.112. The net increase
over last year is 23S.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The old engineer had finished grooming
his engine for the nights run and was
whiling way the half hou before train
time in swapping yarns with his fire
man. It was his turn at a story. After
putting reflectively on his pipe for a mo-
ment or two, he said, half ~questioningly:
II don't believe We've ever run over any,
body, Bill, since you've been in the cab.
But it isn't the running over that
scares you,' he continued, though that
is bad enough. It's the coming SO all

ENGLAND DEPLETED OF SOLDIERS

London Court Journal: Not for nearly
so years has there been such a small
line force in the United Kingdom as at
present. There are now at home only
four cavalry regiments-the First
Dragon Guards, Second Dragon
/ Guards, Seventh Hussars and the
Twenty-first Lancers. exclusive OF the
Household cavalry and it's present
strength of about 500 men: and II bat
talions of infantry. On paper there is
a fairly strong force of artillery, but as
many of the batteries at home are re-
| Gently formed, three dating only from
last Saturday, we are not so well off in
f.; this as numerically we appear. The
British garrison in India is also lower
the it has been for many years. The
normal white garrison of India was fixed
at a certain strength by politicians of
both Sides, but it is now some 10000 to
Il, 900 below what has always been con-
sidered a safe margin. Owing to the
necessities of South Africa there Is at
present less British cavalry in India than
has been known since the tim of the
! East India company, only five regiments
being now in India, and the artillery IS
also very much below the hitherto &C
copied standard.

GEOMANCERS.

Leslie's Weekly: Owing to the peculiar
superstitions Of h Chinese people, the
greatest care must be exercised in the
treatment of cities after they have been
captured. and it will be unfortunate IL
the allied forces. in capturing Tien Tsin,
nave wrecked any considerable property
or lone any unnecessary bombarding or
obstruction of it's walls. The Chinese
locate cities just as they build houses or
die graves according to the directions
of their geomancers or earth doctors"
as they call them. Before they will build
q city or bury an ancestor these
GERS must, with a great deal of rigma-
role, pass upon the luck or favorable
ness OF the spot selected, and If the selec-
ton of a spot originally declared to be
lucky should be followed by bad luck to
the one selecting it, other
will be called in. and If the spot is pro-
nounced by them to be unlucky 1t will at
once be abandoned.
The entire city of Picking was moved
by h first emperor of he Mongol
dynasty because his earth doctors told
him that bad luck was associated with
the old site, and that if he wished to es-
tablish his dynasty he must build a new
capital. The modern city of Peking was
the result. The ancient walls of the old
city are still to be seen on the banks Of
the Hun River, about eight miles south
west of the present city, although 1t was
abandoned over seven centuries Ago.. The
cltleS TaNaBeu Dy the IalplnSS 0U years
ago nave never recovered, because the
Chinese believe that their uck has been
spoiled. When the cities were occupied
and plundered by the rebels the popula-
ton abandoned them, and they have
bulit new own and new cities, rather
than tempt fate by rebuilding the old
ones. The Chinese will abandon houses
almost new if convinced that their geo.
nancy is wrong, and in almost every city
you will find some quarter vacated and
abandoned because it is said to be un-
lucky.
