receipt of a copy of the Compiled
Laws of Nevada. embracing all the
laws in force in this State from 1861
to 1900. inclusive. Henry @. Cut

was done at the State Printing Office

The question of school books is
one in which the people OF every
community is interested, and many
methods have been tried in years
past in the attempt to regulate 1t.
In some States all books. as well as
tablets, ink, pens and pencils, are
furnished free to pupils in the pub
lin schools, the several districts pur-
chasing the supplies and paying for
them in the same manner as other
school expenses are paid. In these
instances the State enters into a con-
tract with a book publishing house
to supply all books necessary at a
specified price. In this way the pub
fishers are assured of a large sale,
and make q low price to secur the
contract. The cost of the books is
thus reduced to O minimum. These
books are furnished free to the pu-
pills, but if damaged in any way
while in their care q small amount
is charged which is regulated by the
value of the book and the extent of
the injury done.
In other places, again, text books
are adopted by the State, the pub
fishers contracting to furnish them
at a stipulated price, and the pupils
purchase them from dealers or
agents, but always at the price agreed
upon in the contract, which is
much lower than the regular re-
tail price of books Of the same or
a similar character.
The very latest move in this direc>
ton has been inaugurated at Yank-
ton, South Dakota, where the city
purchases the books and rents them
to the pupils. The rentals range
from 90 cents for a set of low grade
books, to IS cents for a set of the
highest grade, for the school year,
and it is found the books last we'll
and pay a small profit to the city.
The principal object to be gained
by any of these methods is the avoid
ance of constant changes in text
books in the schools, which is often
a burden upon parents without any
apparent advantage to the pupils.
School book publishers, of course,
profit by these changes. and are all
ways on the alert to show the supe-
riority of a new series of text books
over those hitherto in use.
Ultimately. it would seem, this
whole question will be satisfactorily
solved by the matter of text books
being made a part of the public
school system. when they will be
prepared and published under State
authority, a number of adjacent
States, perhaps, agreeing npon the
same series, thus decreasing the
expense.

INVOLUNTARY sERvITUDE.

A great deal of hysterical talk
aud yellow journalism have been in-
dulgsd in recently in regard to
young Chinese girl who, it is alleg.
ed, is a,slave OF Mr.. Ng Mon War,
aud has been cruslly treated by the
wife Of that well-bnowu Chinese.
Oar local Parkhurst Society saw
great opportunity to advertise it.
self, and forthwith Mon War and
wife were arrested by the federal
authorities and charged with the
serious offeuse OF keeping the child,
Ah Ho, iu involuntary sNrvitude.
The case was heard before Commis-
sioner Robinson of the United
States District Court yesterday sf-
ternoon. Colonel Baird, the U, S.
District Attorney, prosecuted, and
Mr. Paul Neumann appeared Tor the
defense. The witnesses called by
the prosecution were All Ho, who
admitted that she had never been
present at any sale" Of her TO Mon
War and that she really didn't
know what "slave" or involuntary
servitnde meant, and lady, who
test6 ID to the crusl treatment OF
the girl by Mrs. Mou War, a matter
which in no way should have con-
cernod the proceedings in the fed
eral Court. The girl said that her
duties were to mind the baby OF
Mon War, sweep the rooms and do
other household work. She admit
ted that shs frequently ate at the
table of her master and was fed and
clothed by him. Commissioner
Robinson held that under these cir
cumstances the girl was held as a
slave. We cannot follow the ideas
of the learned gentleman, but ex-
cuse him with having succumbed to
the weakn ess OF all newcomers
clothed with a brief authority, to
wit: that Of posing to the gallery
and giving way to few hysterical
faddists. The cruelty case had
nothing TO do with the learned COM
missioner, who, by the way, should
read up the law on evidence before
over.ruling certain objections of
counsel for defendant. There is a
case now pending in the District
Court of Honolulu, and if the de-
fendant 10 found guilty, she will be
punished there. When Mr.. Robin
son has lived here a few years he
will find that the kind OF slavery
in which he finds that All Ho is
living exists in nearly all prominent
families, where young children,
mostly poor relations, are brought
up as servants, aud made to mind
the babies and do the chores OF the
house. Most OF the children would
rather play marbles or romp around
if they had their own way, hut they
have got to kuuckle down to the
work to be done by them or get
punished. And Judge Wilcox fre-
qusntly remarks in his Court that
Hawaiians when Furnishing the chill
dren brought up by them are in the
habit of picking up club instead
of picking up shingle or slipper
with which to drst the seat of their
clothes. Should the federal officers
go around like roaring lions looking
for so-oalled slavery here they will
find an ample field, il slavery is to
be construed as Commissioner Rob-
insou does it, and the first place
where haul can be made will be
the Kawaiahao Seminary, where a
large number of pupils are held in
involuntary servitude according to
Mr.. Robinson's construction.

A CLASS REUNION.
Preliminary to the Celebration Of the
Jubilee of Loretto Academy.

In 1890 the senior boarding pupils at
Our Lady of Light drew up resolutions
to the effect that all those pupils of the
then opening decade should meet at
their alma mater in the historic city in
1900. From the very opening of the
present ear inquiries and reminders on
the subject have reached Loretto acad-
envy, and the same have been promptly
and cordially answered by invitations
to the decade reunion lunch on June
20, as we'll as to the closing exercises on
the 21st.
Two years hence, or in 1902, this hon
ored institution will celebrate its golden
jubilee or fifty years in Santa Fee, and
the present reunion is desired as a pre-
liminary to the formation in 1902 of an
alumnae association, and on which oc-
casion it is hoped both boarding and
day pupils will assemble.
