ARMY WORM PLAGUE.
Residents Driven From Their Homes
by the Dreaded Army Worm.


YANKTON, S. D., June 23.-The dread
army worm has made it's appearance on
the Missouri sandbars along the river
front in this city, in such vast numbers
as to excite the most serious alarm.
Without apparently the least warning
twenty or thirty acres of willows on the
safrIbars became literally alive with the
worms. The movement of the worms
made the branches sway as if moved by
the wind. Within twelve hours after the
first worms were seen the branches began
to droop with the weight of their Vermi-
form inhabitants. over an area of three
or four acres where depredations began,
the foliage has been exhausted and the
dead worms can be gathered up by the
seoopful They are moving eastward,
cutting swath more than a quarter of a
mile in width in which they leave not

tempt to kill them proved useless, for
they came i'll such numbers that relief
was impossible until all the Vegetatlofl i'll
that locality had been destroyed. Mr..
Scnott lost his garden vegetables and
some of his farm crops.
The worms are from two to three
inches in length and have two sets of
legs one set in front, the other behind.
Old settlers who are familiar with the
various varieties of army worms say that
tbs is the genuine worm, and that un-
less something is done Immediately to
exterminate them, the farm lands in this
part of the state will be covered with
them.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Choosing Suitable Material for 1t a
Difficult Task.
The District commissioners Encoun-
ter Many Obstacles in Securing
the Board Ms Defined by Lnw-Sc-
lection OF the Colored Members.

The seven appointments to the new
Board Of Education. in accordance with the
provisions Of the District Appropriation
bill approved June 6, 1900, have been &C.
cupying the attention OF the Commission
ers good deal for weeks past. Commits
sioner mcfarland especially, who has i'm
mediate supervision of the public schools.
has been busy listening to individuals and
delegations who have called upon him TO
urge the claims of various candidates for
the appointments.
Much attention is being given to the
subject because OF its Importance The
Commissioners, and especially Mr.. Mac
farland, feel that the utility OF the school
system which is to be inaugurated will
depend very largely upon the character
OF the Board of Education. Moreover, the
uppermost thought in his mind, and that
of the other Commissioners, is to secure
q body which shall efficiently manage the
educational system and carry with dig
nifty the responsibility with which they
are TO be entrusted. Mr.. mcfarland has
said repeatedly that his chief desire is to
secure by these appointments board
which shall serve the entire District to
the satisfaction of the people.
Authority for the Bonrd.
The regulations under which the ap-
pointments are TO be made, together with
the general duties of the board, are as
follows:
The Commissioners Of the District of Columbia
=. hereby authorized to appoint seven persons,
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-06-17

ton has barred several candidates whose
names have been presented as available
for the positions. 1t is learned on i;cod
authority that several persons who wsre
thought fitted by their friends for places
on the board we're excluded from consider
alton by the law creating the body.
Another point In the law which has
proved a hard problem to solve is the fact
that the board is to be executive in char
acter, and is to take on its shoulders the
entire responsibility for the management
of the system of education. The supertn-
tendent and his assistants are to be nam
by the Board of Education ana are to lie
subordinate TO it.
AS a consequence of this administrative
responsibility which will consume much
time. the Commissioners have met diff
iiculty in finding men who were eminently
fit to serve who could sacrifice their pri-
vate business sufficiently to attend to the
duties required. AS one prominent man
who was approached by his friends in re-
gard to the matter said: This is not a
ratifying board which can assemble three
times week at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
and pass upon routine matters. On the
contrary. II is a board that must assume
grave responsibility and which must devote
a great amount Of time to the schools CT
Immediately exhibit proof of its worth ess-
ness. could not afford to serve upon it
for less than $1,000 year"
Obstacles to Appointments.
This fact also interferes with the ap-
pointment of anyone In the Government
or District service. Members of the Board
Will be called upon to inspect schools and
to perform other duties in busines1 hours,
which would seriously conflict with any
official position. 1t is understood that
several citizens OF prominence. who would
have been ideal members Of the proposed
board. have been Obliged to decline con-
sidering the matter on the ground of the
duties conflicting with their private bust
ness Another thing which has puzzled the
Commissioners in selecting the proper
men to serve on the Board of Education
is the fact that many people available for
the position are absent from the city, in
Europe or elsewhere. 1t will be neces-
sary. as a reading of the law will make
plain. that the members OF the Board must
be on the ground and ready for work ON
July /. when the appointments will be
announced. The work to be performed at
