Massillon, O., Sept. 4.

Massillon, o., Sept. 4.
At the meeting of the trades assem-
bly, to be held Thursday evening the
question of the change in school books
will be one of the main questions which
will be brought up for discussion, and
1t is very probable that series of res
olutions will be passed condemning
the members of the board of education
for their action in the matter.
A special meeting of the allied coun-
Gil was called last week for the purpose
Of taking action on this question but,
owing to the extremely short notice,
upon which the meeting was called
only q few members Of the council were
present. 1t was, at that time, consider
ed best to allow the matter to rest until
the next regular meeting of the council,
which takes place tomorrow evening
Said an officer of the assembly We'd
nesday afternoon: 1--WE shall certain
ly take this matter up tomorrow even
ing 1t should have been considered
before but we have been so busy with
our labor day celebration that we have
neglected to do SO. / believe that the
board of education should be
SEVERELY CENSURED
for its action on this book question.
The change affects almost every family
III Massillon and it devolves upon the
laboring man to shoulder most of the
extra expense. We do not expect, at
this late date, to be able to accomplish
anything material by taking the matter
up but we hope to show to the member S
OF the board who voted for the change

TIE LIVE STOCK FEATURE
WILL BE IMMENSE.
The Display at the Coming West vir.
ginia State Fair Will Be Large
and Unique.

There's going to be lots of fun at the
twenty-first annual fair and exposition
Of the West Virginia society at the
Wheeling grounds, but there will be
something else. We're going to talk
to our farmer readers short time
about live stock.
The management has arranged for
and has received entries ensuring alb
solutely the greatest live stock show
ever seen in this part of the country.
Several months ago the heads Of de-
partments, and Secretary George Hook,
determined to make this feature rec
ord breaker and to present to the pat
rons of the association something far
beyond anything heretofore attempted,
and their desires and efforts were
heartily reciprocated by owners and
breeders of the finest stock in many
states. Horses, cattle, sheep and swine
are included in the scope of this depart
ment, and of the list of entries for the
increased list of prizes offered make
success assured. 1t will be an aggrega-
tion such as no farmer among our
constituency can afford to miss, and
will afford an opportunity for observa-
ton and the gaining Of information
that could not otherwise be secured
without the expediture of hundreds Of
dollars and weeks of time. We sin
cerely hope that advantage will be TAX
en- OF this unusual chance.
OF the fair generally, 1t may be said
that all past records will be far surpass-
ed. It win be continued by night as
well as by day, with list of attractions
ut least twice as large as any hereto
fore given, and all free to the patrons
OF the enterprise. At night the entire
grounds will be brilliantly lighted by
electricity, and racing, etc., will go on
as In daylight. Reduced rates on all
railroads ensure a cheap and most sat
isfactory period of relaxation from work
and care. Go to Wheeling next week,
by all means.

that the laboring men of the city are
not feeling particularly friendly toward
them on this account.
THE union men of the city have al
ways favored a free school book sys-
tenn in Massillon. We believe that this
is the only equitable manner of distri-
buting the cost of the books. In this
way the rich pay in proportion to their
property and the poor are not called
upon to make any extravagant outlay
for books. We have been urging the
adoption of this system but so far have
been unsuccessful. Now in addition
to buying usual amount of books this
year we are suddenly called upon to lay
in an
ENTIRELY NEW LINE.
To some of us who have five or six chill
dren this means a good deal. In my
own home my children have accum-
ulated a stock of books which might
have been handed down from one child
to another. The board has now decided
that these books are no good and re-
quires that new ones must be bought,
and back of the whole business is the
opinion Of the superintendent and the
lady members of the board that the
books which have been put in are no
letter than the ones which have been
thrown out.
This matter could stand little in
vestigation but 1t is not the purpose
Of the labor assembly to probe into II
any farther. To many of us the plain
facts presented by the case are sufli-
cient upon which to base pretty firm
conclusions. 1t is simply the intention
of the council to express the sentiment
Of the members against the four men
who are rsponsible for the change"

What she saw.

II was at the Normal school that this
happened, and the class laughed. It
was a laugh on the teacher, too, but
he didn't get angry, although 1t did
break into the serious contemplation Of
serious studies with which he was try
ing to interest the students.
1t was in the study Of psychology,
and they were discussing what ideas
first entered the human mind when GER
tain words were spoken or written
whether the mind thought of one GER
tain object designated by the word or
the whole general class which is en-
bodied In that word. To experiment
on this mental phenomenon in order to
bring 1t more clearly to the attention
Of the students the professor said he
would write word on the board and
then let one Of them tell instantly what
impression was made upon her mind.
He called upon one Of the pupils to
be ready to think quickly and tell ex-
actly what her first thought was after
she saw the word which he was about
to write. He stood close to the board,
SO that the word was hidden by his
shoulders until he turned. He wrote
the word "pig," and all Of the class
saw II except the girl who was stand.

turned, he didn't get out of her way.
