the Stokes SCHOOL LAW.

The Court of Errors and Appeals
has declared the Stokes School Law
to be unconstitutional on the ground
that the application of the law by it's
classification of cities with wards
and cities without wards IS incorrect.
Chief Justice Depne, in reading the
opinion of the Court said:
"The division of municipalities into
wards has no relation whatever to
the management and control of public
school and the support of education
Nor does it in any manner indicate
the needs of the community in pro-
viding schools for the education OF
children. AS a standard of classifica-
ton. the method adopted by this law
is purely arbitrary.
The classification adopted by this
act is simply description that would
identify rlaces to which this legis-
1ation was intended to apply, and
possess none of the characteristics
that are regarded as essential to the
validity of a law regulating the inter-
nal affairs of a municipality.
The law was prepared with the
greatest care and with full and APP
preciative knowledge .of the State
Constitution.
1t is revision of the entire school
law of the state made after long study,
with view to the betterment of the
public school system of the STATE of
New Jersey and after the trainers
thereof had sought the best legal adj
vice.
The decision is surprise, mas
much as the new law was thought
to be without flaw, but the next
legislature can be depended upon to
remedy the defects in the present
measure, and. in the meantime, it is
said the educational interests of the
state will suffer no great inconven-
fence.

RECIPROCITY AND THE OPEN
DOOR.

AS to what we have tried to do--whai
I'VE are Still trying to do--in the general
field of diplomacy, there is no reason for
,ioubt on the one hand or reticence on
fhe other. Presid. mt Mckinley in bis
messages during the last four years has
made the subject perfectly clear. We
nave striven, ON the lines laid down by
Washington, 10 cultivate friendly rela-
lions with all Pow ers, but rot to take
part in the formation of groups or com
binations among them. a position OF
complete independence is not lncompatl
BILE with relations involving, not friend
ship alone, but concurrent action as well
in important emergencies. We have
kept always in view the fact that we are
prominently peace-loving people; that
our normal activities are in the direction
of IL ade and commerce; that the vast de-
velopmeut of our industries imperatively
demands that we shall not only retain
and confirm our hold on our present
markets, but seek constantly by all
honorable means. to extend our COM
Dercsl interests 10 every practicable d.
rection IL is for this reason we have
negotiated the treatise of reciprocity
which now await the action of the
Senate; all of them conceived in the ira
ditional American spirit of protection to
our own industries, and yet mutually
TO ourselves and our neigh
bors. IL the same spirit we have sought,
successfully, to induce all the great
Powers to unite in recognition of the
general principle of equality of COM
merclal &C, ess and opportunity in the
markets of the Orient We believe that
"a fair. field and no favor" is all we re
qnire, and with less than that we can
got be satisfied. If we accept the assur
Ances we have received as honest and
genuine, as Icertainly do, that equality
will not be denied us; and the result
NAV safely be left to American genius

When Being Photographed.

A photographer who has had many
years experience in his special business
recently gave this bit of advice to wo-
men:
Don't be photographed in silk. Onl,
very few women are aware that GER
tain materials are risky in photograph.
Satins or silks with nigh lustle throws
lights and shadows which are harsh and
unexpected in reproduction. Softly
folding, easily draped and not pro-
nounced are crepes--either silk or wool
and chiffon. Stiff. st4rchy effects aie
TO be strictly tahooed unless it be the
tran~lucence of Swiss or organdie.
Stripes and large patterns In lace or silk
are failures. So are big .rocades on
plaids. Velvet and fiue FAIRS are es-
pecially happy selections, and such ac-
cessories as a handsome opera cloak or a
long ostrich fan are deemed happy adj
juncts with full dress"
