situation more critical for the British

The Beers attacked Ladysmth in

Fighting was begun by General

the result is given In a dispatch sent
to-day by General Butler. who says:

A Permanent Census Bureau.
Tnacr efe,. Ern,l,ia,ea.


Every recurring ten years, when new CEN
sus is taken, the necessity of creating census
bureau more or less permanent is made mani
fest. This does not mean an organization so
rigid that it would become fossiized or MORT
bund like an army bureau or most permanent
institutions, but sufficiently so to do efficient
expert work. The Government itself and the
country at large have found out that taking
the census is not the work of month or two
in the summer season every decade. The
country now understands that it is work of
years and that as at present conducted it is
very unsatisfactory in results The compiling
of the census returns in 1890 extend over sew
eral years, and as late as 1897 belated reports,
which bad lost all value and timeliness, were
still appearing from month to month.
The average period in which the whole CEN
sus force is employed is considerably more
than a Year, A scarcely diminished force is
occupied for two years longer and large
body Of specialists, clerks, etc.. is continued
for term of five, SIX and seven years. This
delay in reaching the results of the great count
renders them by just 30 much out of date and
useless. AS the magnitude OF the census in
creases this delay increases likewise, and the
last census was for that reason the most dis
appointing and unsatisfactory census ever
taken.

of nearly 400 more. The work of this latter
body requires special Skill and the loss

each census costs the Government on the

A Man From West Virginia.

United States Senator Nathan B. Scott, of
West Virginia, was in Philadelphia attending
to his duties as a member of the Republican
National committee on Wednesday, His son },
who is q lieutenant in the United States army
was in San Francisco being married to a
charming bride. To add to the happiness of
the union and to guarantee that the pathway
Of the couple shall not be barren of roses, the
Senator sent to his son by telegraph bridal
present of twenty thousand dollars. With
the money laden dispatch the Senator sent
message reminding the son that the father
began life with just twenty cents.
Senator SCOTS fortune, which has now
reached large proportions, was made in the
State of West Virginia, and affords good IL
lustration of the unusual opportunities offered
by that State to men who know how to make
good use of them. The Senator, who is now
under sixty, went into the Civil War poor
young man, came out of it just as poor, and
settled down IN wheeling as glassworker on
small pay. 1t did not take him many years to
become manager Of the company, then its
president and largest stakeholder. The first
savings bank of the State was organized by
him, and he is today its president. Interested
in many other enterprises which have aided
in the progress and prosperity of his State be
has reaped large profits from them, but all bis
business has been carried out in legitimate
channels, and he well deserves the wealth that
has come to him.
With his success in business has come sue
cess in a political career, due to the same
causes. He has won the confidence Of the
people of West Virginia and of the leaders OF
his partv by his strong character, ability and
fidelity to duty. He is good example OF
man who has made the best use Of those
chances for success which this country offers,
but which 30 many men throw away.

Children in the Schools.
Chicago I'rib1ln,


A writer in the Journal Of Education con-
tends that children are usually sent to school
at too early an age. Little children four and
five wears old should be out of doors nearly all
their waking hours, developing strong bodies,
sturdy constitutions, and incidentally brain
power, so when they enter the, schoolroom
they will have gained power, to learn easily
which is reached only after the child has ar.
rived at certain stage Of its development"
In the opinion OF the writer II laws were 1fameo
40 that the child could not enter school until
old the work s n0g e dons II nas
Years with less effort, less fatigue, and better
grasp of the subject. A real mental gain and
a race decidedly stronger physically woulo. be
the result. In proof of these assertions It is
pointed out that in many cities where pupils
are not considered Of school age until SIX years
old the course of study is but eight years, and
the child graduates from the high schools at
as early an age as in other places where chill
dren enter at the age Of I'VE and the course Is
one year longer, although covering the same
ground.

A Tough Job for John Bull.
D.Ifi.,,n..o Q9tz4

It is a remarkable circumstance that the
South African Republics have already held
out against England longer than France did
against Prussia in the war of 1901. War
was declared by Napoleon on July 10Th, 1870.
and the preliminaries of peace were signed
seven months and eleven days later, namely,
an February 18th, 1871. Already the Boer
war has lasted eight months and the end is
not vet in sight. The war between Spain and
he limited States began April 21st. 1893, and
ended by the signing of the peace protocol on
August 18th Of the same year: Spain was
able 10 maintain a show of resistance to the
limited States for only three months and
twenty-five days. When the British forces
embarked in the war it was supposed there
was to be an excursion to Pretoria and that
once there resistance would cease. In this ex-
pectation they have been sadly disappointed
bv the stout little republics.
