The petition from the janitors OF the

The committee on studies and discipline
TO whom was referred the proposal to pull
chase an encyclopedia for one or more OF the
schools, respectfully report adversely to that
proposal.
The committee Is not irsensibe OF the
great value of Extensive Works of Reference
in public education. Indeed Free Reference
Library seems essential to the public school
system Of Alexandria, but the strsightened
circumstances Of the school fund seems a bar
to any progress in that direction. II, however,
the Joint committees Of finance and of school
houses and furniture can furnish room and
provide for heating and lighting the same and
keeping open the Free Reference Library
during school hours and also from z TO 10 st
night, the committee on studies and discipline
will make an earnest effort to furnish Books
OF Reference without cost to the school fund.

writes as follows:

We quote here report given in the
Literary Digest of May lS by Charles
il. Flint, of the rubber trust. Mr.. Flint
meets with figures Mr.. Sage's warning
that the industrial consultations are
overcapitalized. He refers Mr. Sage to
Il list of forty-se of the most promi-
nent trusts, and says:
He Will find the ndustrials. almost
without exception, are worth "A great
deal more, judged by their earning
capacity, than they are selling for in

trials are earning over % per cent. a
year on their market values, and the
average for the entire forty-seven is
1876 per cent. How does this compare
With Manhattan Elevated, which MIR.
Sage would. no doubt, tell everybody is
a good investment? Manhattan Ele-
waited earns per cent. Even more as
tonishing than the earnings on the
market value are the earnings on the
par value. A very popular impression
exists that industrials are composed
principally OF water. The best answer
to this is that the forty-seven COM
panies included in the appended table
show an average earning rate of 7.i4
per cent. on their total capitalization

.Mr. Flint also points out that over
production. which Is one of the most
prolific sources of panic, can be largely
prevented under the present system,

WEST INDIAN
MEDAL APPROVED
Secretary Long Accepts Design
with sampson's Head on the
0hvorso

BY Exclusive Wire from Tho Associated rfcss.
Washington, June 24.-Acting on the
unanimous recommendation of the
naval board of awards. Secretary Long
today approved the designs for the two
medals provided for by congress to
commemorate the achievements of the
United States navy in the campaign in
the West Indies during the Spanish
American war. or these two medals
the first is known as the battle medal
and the second as the meritorious SER
vice medal. In it's report to Secretary
Long the board of awards points out
that this battle medal is not conferred
for services rendered in any one en-
gagement, but Is intended for all of the
men who participated in the West In
dian campaign.
The board says that 1t has placed
SIMPSONS head upon the medal be-
cause he was commander in chief of
the West Indian squadron, as Dewey's
was placed on the Manila medal. The
medal will not be known as the Santi-
ago, as it will bear upon the reverse
the name, rank and ship of the initial
battle in which the recipient fought.
The additional battles will be repre-
sented by separate bars above the sus-
pending ribbon. one bar for each battle.
In the case of an officer like Vain
wright the bars will be almost as con-
spicuous as the medal.
The Sampson portrait is a profile
taken from a likeness made just before
the outbreak of the Spanish war. on
the face of this medal the inscription
reads: "united States Naval Cam
paign in the West Indies. 1898. Will
liam Thomas Sampson. Commander in
Chief The slispending bar above
bears the American eagle over Il de-
sign in oak leaves.
The reverse of the medal marks the
governments recognition of the SER
vices Of "the man behind the gun" 1t
shows the gun-deck of an American
man -of-war in full action. with Il war
ship on the horizon of the background.
Surrounding the picture on the rim of
the medal is handsome laurel wreath.
