CENTRAL SCHOOL

A public entertainment will be
given by the high school on
Feb. 22nd.
Room No. is greatly indebted
to Mr.. Paul Hammett for the use
of the hall.
Ora Corbin ard Richard Sparks
were out of school this week on
account of sickness.
The Ninth grade completed
Greek history this week and will
begin Roman history next week.
A debate by the boys of the
Sixth grade on the woes of the
poor Indian has been one of the
features of the week.
Pupils of the Sixth and Sew
enth grades are very much in

them helping hand.
Much interest has been shown
in drawing maps of the United
States and several very artistic
ones have been handed in.
Bishop Fletcher, of the 9th

little care. hardness can be
eliminated altogether. 1t is a
very bad habit, and one for
which there is little if any ex-
cuse. There is scarcely any
thing that has such dsmorsliz-
ing effect ss the habit of being
behind time. When children
once contract it, they grow lax
and careless about other things,
and generally lose interest in
heir work. 1t may seem little
thing to be on time, but it is one
of the essentials of success in any
walk in life. "Trihes make
perfection, but perfection is NO
trifle."
THIRD GRADE.
This is an original composition
by Virginia McKie, ten years OF
age. 1t has not been corrected,
but is just as she wrote it,.
81 have seen many large oak
trees in Mississippi. The bark
of the oak tree is very rough.
In the winter it has no leaves
but is covered with long gray
moss. In the spring the tree is
covered with large green'leaves. In
the summer it has many acorns.

FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES.
The attendance in the fourth
grade this month has been the
poorest during the year, owing to
sickness. We hope the sick
may soon be able to return. We
do not like to see those vacant
seats.
In our last report, these grades
bad had no tard mess and the
pupils hoped for the promised re-
ward. However, since, some in
each grade have been 80 unfor-
tunate as to deprive the Whole
rooms of the quarter holiday.

their games barrels, that the
-four may be shipped from the
mill to the cities. Thus the child
has been had to feel the continui-
ty OF life, and to realize that
many hands must work to furn-
ish him with the necessities of
life. But the spiritual signifi-
canoe lies in the fact that the
visible world does not exist apart
from the Invisible, but as an ex-
preston of the unseen creative
forces-that the highest life is
not lived to itself alone, but
reaches it's perfection through q
constant reciprocal action with
the life around it.
Instead of visiting a bakery,
as we had intended, we decided
to be bakers in the Kindergarten
and make biscuits for the next
lunch. From a kind neighbor
we borrowed bread-board, roll
ing pin, etc., and doning our cook
apron, we proceeded, under the
direction of the children, to ex-
pertinent. We followed the di-
rections of the children implicit
ly. First we were told to
strain" the flour. One epicure
said "do not put in too much salt:
that will spoil them" Finally
everything was in. The dough
was kneaded and rolled out,
each child cut a biscuit, they
were put in pans aud taken to
q neighbors to be baked. Some
doubt was expressed as to wheth-
er the biscuits would be good or
not, as it had been some
time since this part of
kindergarten had made
any. One little boy said. "we'u
tell you whether they are good
or not when we eat Them" The
biscuits were baked and brought
back in time for lunch. During
the testing process numerous
expressions were heard as to the
quality. One little boy said:
''These biscuits are good all
right. I think Miss--is very
good baker," etc. The morn
ing was enjoyed by all and the
work of the baker became reali-
ty.

AFTERNOON KINDERGARTEN

A trip has been planned. in
GLIDING the blacksmith shop.
the shoe-makers, the planning
mill and the fire hall, and the
children are very much excited
over the promised treat.
Io our January and February
plan of work we try to show the
dignity of true service and raise
to the same level all who truly
perform their appointed tasks.
We bring out the interdepend-
eDce of life and help the children
to realize their dependence upon
rs we'll as their relation to the out
side world, leading to . feeling
of gratitude for help rendered by
others and to q desire to be one
of those who can serve and will
readily do so.
Fret we have taken up the
work of those who build our
homes-the mason, carpenter,
plasterer and painter. In their
turn will come the shoemaker,
the blacksmith, car driver, milk
man, grocery man and store
keeper. From those who serve
US in the community we lead to
those who serve Us in state life
our statesmen, our soldisrs and
our great generals. This will
bring US to Washington's birth
day which is always celebrated
In the Kindergarten.
In our carpenters work the
children are given the first prin-
ciples of measuring and 1t is in
teresting to note the different
ideas of length. The teacher
holding up a stick five inches
long said: This is five inches
long, show with your fingers how
long it les Some had one inch
lengths, some had ten, while the
majority were almost right. In
using the building gifts the value
of true work is emphasized.
The work of a.good mason is con-
trasted with the work of a poor
mason and no. crooked work is
accepted. The children are Sc
we're critics, but are always eager
to help each other.
"And you don't teach them
their letters?" is Q question that
often greets Kinderparten

NOTES FROM THE MESA.

February, though the shortest
month in the year, contains more
special days than any other
month. There are the birthdays
of Lincoln, Washington, Lowell
and Longfellow.
We are glad to state that the
number of cases of hardness in
the building is growing less each
month, and we hope through the
interest of the children and the
cooperation of the parents to re-
duce it to the minimum.
AS February draws near with
its special days, which afford OPP
portunities for special instruc-
tion in patriotism, biography,
and literature, teachers through
out the building are planning
lessons and exercises suitable for
the occasion.
The children of grade w are
giving especial attention to the
cultivation of flowers for their
schoolroom. They have quite
collection of pot-plants in bloom.
The motto selected by this grade
for February is do Right For
Rights Sake"
DR.. E. E. White in his "Scbool
Management" places regularity
in attendance and puncsuslity
as the two 6rst on the list OF his
"Seven School Virtues" and
certainly every successful bust
ness man or woman can ap-
preciate the value of that train
ing for the young which leads to
the forming of the habit of be-
ing on time. This training
should bsRin the day the child
enters school.
And yet there are some care
less or thoughtless parents who
permit their children to remain
away from school on the most
trif1ing pretexts and who show
au utter Indifference as to wheth-
er the children are ready for
school on time or not. These are
usually the people who wonder
why their children take 80 little

MORNING
KINDERGARTEN
NOTES

The morning kindergarten
commenced the new term after
Xmas, with siXty-five children.
Up to present time, the attend
ance has been unusually good,
but during the pact week the
"measle scare" has been respon-
sible for number of vacant
chairs.
We appeal to the mothers to
realize the Importance of reg ular
attendance on the part of the
child, as one days absence will
interfere with the logical Sc
quence of the thought of the
week and necessarily affect the
work of the weeks following.
The children have enjoyed and
entered into the work of the past
ten dsys with much interest. If
We would lead the child to a con-
seriousness of the unity of life, we
must plan that he shall live
through experiences which will
give him q deeper insight into
the truths of the life a-ound him,
of which he is a part-not only
of the active visible life, but of
the unseen forces of nature from
which he cannot be separated,
and without which he could not
exist, each realizing it's highest
destiny in obedience to one law,
the source of which is God. The
life of the baker has been en-
tered into through song, game,
story, talk, gifts, and occupa-
tions. The process of bread
making has been traced from
the baker to the miller and the
river which turns the mill wheels,
to the farmer and the many
sources of help In raising the
wheat, to the sun, and rain, gifts
of the Heavenly Father, in the
loving care of his children. All
this has been lived through by
the children in the Kindergarten.
They have been the mill-wheels,
the river, etc. They have also
been coopers. and have made in

WAR Minister IS OUT
GEN. DE GALLIFET RESIGNS HIS
PORTFOLIO IN FRENCH
MINISTRY
GEN. ANDRE HIS SUCCESSOR
Marquis Gives Reason for Retire
ment Poor HeaIth-Paris Public
Takes an Entirely Different
View of His Action.

PARIS; May 3O-General, the Marquis
de Gallifet, minister of war has resigned
1t is officially announced that his sue
cessor is Gen. Andre
In his letter to NJ. Waldeck-R osseau,
the premier, asking him to place the res
ignation in the hands of the president of
the republic, Gen.. Gallifet pleads i'll
health as a reason for the action. His
exact words are:
II am very i'll, and my health prevents
me resisting all the emtions of the mo-
ment."
The Official Journal this morning, there
fore, contains the acceptance of the res
ignation in a decree signed by NJ. Loubet,
who also appoints the new minister, de-
Gliding upon Gen. Andre as the most suit
able parsonage. The interview at the
ministry of the interior between the pre-
mier and the new minister lasted about
three-quarters of an hour. An agreement
was rapidly reached regarding all the
important points, and at midnight the
premier was ready to send the decree to
the Official Journal.
In spite of his plea of iIl-health this
is not considered the sole reason for the
resignation of Gen. Gallifet. Having in
view the apologize statement made by
M. Waldeck-Rousseau in the chamber Of
deputies, there seems little doubt that he
was annoyed by the word felony" ap-
pied TO an ofncer OF the French army,
although there is little difference between
this language of the premier and that
which Gen. Gallifet had himself used
at a previous sitting.
The ministerial organs continue to give
i'll health as the reason for the action
the Figaro pointing out that Gen. de
Gallifet's own use of the word crime"
is much harsher than the word felony"
(which aptly describes Capt. Fritsch's
attitude towards his superior"
Whatever the true reason, there is
general regret on Gen. de Gallifets re-
tirement His straightforwardness was
the delight of his friends, and his rugged
eloquence at times compelled even the
admiration of his enemies. Under his
direction the army has been benefited
by quite a number of reforms, the most
recent of which was his prohibition of the
sale of harmful intoxicants. He also
forbade that certain newspapers, notori-
Gus for their attacks upon the army,
should be placed at military clubs.
1t is difficult to say as yet what eff
feet the resignation will have upon the
cabinet. Gen. Andre was appointed gen
eral of division a year ago. He is an
officer of the Legion of Honor.

Mr.. McRae (Ark.) acted as chairman and

At the outset Mr.. Richardson CTenn.) Of
fered the following resolution expressive
of the party attitude:
Whereas, there is known to be large
and growing surplus in the treasury over
and above the necessities of the govern
ment arising out of the taxes levied and
collected under the war revenue tax act
OF 1893, therefore,
Resolved, That we favor the reduction
OF the taxes provided for in said bill,
and we do not think that the present
session OF congress should adjourn until
SAID taxes shall have been repealed as
to certain articles and reduced as to 9TH
ers, until there is a total reduction in
the aggregate of at least 80 per centum.
we pledge ourselves at all times to
Vldlng for such reduction
Mr. Levy IN. " offered a substitute
protesting against congressional adjourn
ment until action has been taken to re-
ouce or repeal the war revenue taxes.
Mr.. Richardson supported his resolution
In brief speech. The Levy substitute
was thereupon defeated and the Richard
son motion adopted without division
Inc trust question was next taken up,
Mr.. Ball CTeX) presenting a resolution
1aVorfng an adverse vote on the anti
trust constitutional amendment and a fav-
antitrust substitute bill. 1t further pro-
vided that in the event of the defeat Of
the substitute support would be given to
the antitrust. bill as reported
The resolution brought out extended de-
bate and considerable differences of opin-
ion as to the manner of dealing with the
trust issue. In the course of the dis
cussion Mr.. Salmon On. j. intimated
that without reference to the action of
the caucus he would favor the conStitu-
tional amendment.
The Democratic members of the judi
ciary committee, Messrs. Terry, De Ar
mond, Lanham and others favored action
along the lines of the Ball resolution.

delegate quadrennial conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church came to an
end To-Day after session Of four weeks

pollty of the church. The conference
was the largest in the history Of the
church and its sessions were attended by
thousands

saw laymen and preachers given equal
representation. Under the bslief that

Wises bad reputation, of being a de

did not know the exact meaning, but he
had heard 1t used before when speaking
of the family.
William Wise and family came to Ano.

he had been employed as an excavator
and general teamster by The CITY of Min

eight years, as the younger daughter was
born there. His original name was
Brown, but when a boy he took the name
Wise, from his stepfather, and has ever
since been SO known. His brother, who
goes by the name of Brown, has arrived
from Minneapolis, a3ld%is doing what he
can to bury the dead. and care for those
who still suffer. He 1t was who secured
the lot in the cemetery and made the
principal arrangements for the burial

The house in which the tragedy oc-
Cured is a dilapidated frame structure,
and is surrounded by trees 1t stands

kill about 100 yards from the main road
Altogether the place was an ideal one
