TALKS ON SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
The Annual School Meeting.
Continued from last week.

ALF. KUYKENDALL, SENIOR CLASS.
(plattevllle Normal SCHOOL,
a teacher needs apparatus with
which to continue his work; costly
material is not recommended, but
every school room should be supplied
with a good dictionary, a common
ten inch globe, a complete set of
maps, a sufficient amount of real slate
black board, and good reading
chart. Charts on language, history
and physiology are. also valuable
aids to the work of instruction.
Money iudiciously expended each
year soon equips the school with all
the apparatus any competent teacher
will require.
The general appearance and condi-
ton of the school room and grounds
play an important part in making
school life enjoyable.
The school room should be spa
cious and cleaned at least once n
wear 1t is well to whitewash, paint
and paper wherever needed. 1t
should be as home-like as possible.
The tidiness of the room will depend
wholly upon the teacher, and the ar
arrangement of the flower beds will re-
fleet in part her IDEAS of fitness. Not
less than one acre OF ground should
form the yard, which should be en-
closed. This would prevent the prac-
tce in some districts of having the
school house in n fence corner and
the highway for a play ground. APP
propriate buildings should be
constructed, with walks leading there
to. A we'll, and an easy pump, sup
plying good water, is an absolute
necessity. Trees and shrubbery
should be planted, though this is
often done on Arbor day by teacher
and pupils, at no expense to the dis
trict.
These things seem to be essential to
the success Of the school. But they
involve expense. 1t is true this brings
us face to face with the financial
phase of the question. The law pro-
Vides that the amount of tax voted by
a district shall not be less than one
half of the amount received by the
district from the State fund; also that
the amount voted shall not exceed live
per cent. of the assessed valuation OF
the district. Is there not a golden
mean between these two extremes? In
many cases the patrons of the school
have risen from narrow circum-
stances, and may have become habit
uated to the practice of rigid econo-
my. The call for expenditures for
projects when give quick returns
often make stronger impressions upon
them than the better education of their
children. But here, as well as else
where, extravaganza is unnecessary.
Enough money should be voted to OBJ
tain the best teachers possible, to
purchase the necessary apparatus
with which they may wosk, and to
meet the other current expenses of the
district.
Since the future of America de
ponds upon the education OF the pres
emit youth, every citizen should show
his obligation to his postcrity, and
also his love of country by encourag-
ing and supporting tirst-class
schools.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

In the case of Rafael Ortiz, u Porto
Rican, who, for the murder OF II U. s..
soldier, is serving life sentence In
the Minnesota state prison, Judge
Lochren OF the United States circuit
court has rendered II decision that
bears directly upon the question of
absomtsm NJ against local self gov
eminent u question which will be the
paramount issue Of the presidential
and congressional campaign OF this
year. ORTIZ was tried by n military
tribunal In Porto Rico, convicted and
committed TO prison. An application
was filed for the release Of Ortiz and
for civil trial, Judge Lochren re-
fused the application IN II decision
which Ia attracting widespread attcn-
tion, The following are brief extracts;
"Our general government was
founded by the men Of the revolution,
who had rcbellod against the arbi-
trary power asserted by Great britain
TO govern her outlying colonies AZ The
will Of her Parliament. They cstab-
lished this government upon the as-
serted theory that MI just powers of
government from the consent of the
governed They founded, W. describ-
ed by President Lincoln IN language

NO MONEY FOR LAW BOOKS.
Comptroller Trncewell's Opinion Re
SpectinE the Districts Purchase.

ComDtroIler Trncewell'E Opinion Re
spectIng the Distriet's Purchase.
The Comptroller Of the Currency in an
opinion rendered by him says.
'.Upon revision upon my own motion OF
the account of Il H. Darneille. Disubrsing
Clerk OF the District OF Columbia, under
the appropriation, Contingent and Miseel-
laneous Expenses. District OF Columbia,
1882 settled by the Auditor for the state
and other departments per his certificate.
No. 1S, 400, exception was taken 70 the pay
ment Of the items for law books in District
ADULTS Nos. e93S and 1913. for the reason
that the appropriation did not specifically
provide for law books, and that their pur-
chase therefore seemed to be prohibited
by section 3 OF the act of March Is. 1898 "
After reviewing the question OF going
fully into every detail OF the laws pertain
ing thereto, Comptroller Traeeweu gives
mis- decision as follows:
"The District OF Columbia seems TO me
10 be clearly within the broad and eompre-
henslve language of section Of the ect
of March 3. 1898, as a Government estab-
lishment not under an Executive Depart
ment, at the seat of Government. In order
that there might be no question as 20 the
applicability Of the laws Of the United
States TO the District OF Columbia, Con
gTess provided:
.. The Constitution and all laws Of the
United States, which are not locally IN
applicable. shall have the same force and
eject within the District as elsewhere
within the United States
Under this provision all laws OF the
United states not locally inappiiCable are
in force in the District and apply to and
govern il the same as If made specially
applicable to It, Section 8 Of the act Of
March 10, 1898, is only applicable in the
District of Columbia. and II not applicable
to the District il must be by reason Of
something in its language which afhrma-
lively excerpts the District from its opera
ton There is no language In said act
which can be given such construction

cellaneous Expenses of tae District Of Co
