that MIR. Edwards has very successfully
refuted his own arguments he seems
TO lay special stress upon the matter of
the Ward Readers. and now let US look
az The question as II really is.
IT mad become painfully apparent to
many members OF the school committee
that the work of the pupils, as far al
reacins was concerned, was not satisfac-
tory, and it was deemed advisable there
fore to change the method of study.
This was done simply TO enhance the
value or the schools and for no other pur-
pose as will presently appear. AS good
reading is largely the foundation OF edu-
cation, IL was generally agreed that the
very best method should be adopted.
SUPERINTENDENT APPROVED.
The special committee referred TO by
MIR. Edwards was decided upon but this
was only done after comforting with the
superintendent or schools, who approved
OF the project. When the committee was
appointed, Mr.. Edwards was asked to
lake place upon IL, but declined.
Then came the question of the selec-
uon or readers that would answer the
purpose which the committee desired to
been heard of the excellent results OBJ
tained by the use or the Ward readers.
Dook trial., and the superintendent
again approved OF the decision.
But II was argued that the use of ono
reader was very apt to destroy all inter-
est I'm the subject matter. as after a short
time the pupil recited from memory in
stead of reading, and the committee took
steps to counteract any such state OF ar
fairs, and again the superintendent OF
schools was consulted.
AN OPEN LIST.
Then II was that the committee decid-
ed upon an open list, and one OF the Sill
ver. Burdett & Co.'S books was dispos-
sessed. in order 10 make room for books
rom six or seven different publishing
houses. This Is fact that Mr.. Edwards
does not seem 10 know.
'As a matter Of fact, the Ward readers
are being used in only about seven of tho
schools. and for the past two and a hals
months have shown good results.
''In the other schools other readers are
used. and II was for this reason that the
committee decided upon an open list OF
readers, greater variety being thus OBJ
Again let me tell you that the Ward
system Is simply on trial, and when the
school committee ascertains which is
really the best method some definite
change may be made, but not before. Tho
best is wanted, and nothing but the best
NO FAvoRs SHOWN.
at no time has the school COMMITTEES
selected books with the slightest regard
to the publishers. but always with q view
to increasing the efficiency OF the work
of the schools.
II think the fact that we dispossessed a
Silver. Burdett 6 Co. book to make room
for an open list, including six or soven
publishers, is a sufficient answer to any
of the arguments that Mr.. Edwards may
have brought forward Ia his latest letter.
such action does not look much like
helping one publishing house. does it7 I
hope the public vii, look into this mat mat
that Mr.. Edwards has been very much
mistaken In some Of his conclusions"

TOO SOON TO AcTa
rhe United states May RetaIIate
Against the German Government
for Excluding American Meat.

Washington. March CIT is said in
official circles here that there is moth
ing for the United States government
To do at this stage in the working out
Of the policy of the German govern
ment respecting the treatment OF
American meats. Our government has
uniformly insisted that no foreign
power had any right TO catechise IL re-
specting pending legislation, and has
sharply rebuked foreign ministers in
Washington. where. in isolated in
stances, they have disregarded this in
junction. Therefore, offensive as the
meat bill is TO the United States gov
eminent. the state department can
not find a proper place just now for
any official remonstrance against the
proposed addition 10 the restrictions
upon American commerce.
The officials here show no open re-
sentiment at the recently discovered
effort OF the German government TO
prevent our consuls from acquiring
any information as 10 the adultera-
ton OF German goods and the exist
ence of diseases among German ami
mails. but these are quietly collecting
evidence. such. for instance, as the
complete analysis Of German wines en-
tcring the United States, which are
now being made by the department Of
agriculture with a special view TO the
detection of adulteration. The wines
imported are regarded as particularly
dear 20 the German interests, as they
are the products OF German soil.

ders ever perpetrated in this section

annexed il within two feet of the
murdered mans body. The corpse lay
there all night, and was not removed
until after the coroner's jury had
viewed the body.
