Prof. S. V. Mallory, the principal
who has had charge of the schools for
the past two years, was born at Spring
field, Ill. id 1856. He came west with
his parents in 1871, attended the COM
mon schools and began teaching in
1874. Afterwards he completed a high
school course at Falls City Nebr. and
in June 1883 was graduated from
the University of Nebraska. In Sep
t9mber of that year he was elected
principal of the Junction City KanS.
high school, and five years later on
the election of Supt. WinanS to the
Office of the state superintendent, he
was chosen to succeed him as city
superintendent at Junction City. In
1893 he went to Guthrie, Okl., as city
superintendent and remained two
years after which he went to Clyde
and Staid there until he came to this
CITY,
Speaking of the close of the school
and his work here the professor said
to the HERALD man:
"ThiS has been one of the most
pleasant school years that / have ever
enjoyed and it has been made so large
ly by the excellent assistance which
the teachers have given, also by the
hearty support OF the board and
patrons
81 have ever endeavored to be faith
full to my trust. l believe character
building more important that the
acquisition of knowledge. l have al
waps believed that physical force
shauld be next to the last resort in
government and should be rarely re-
sorted to. Previous to last year l
never found it necessary to infiict cor
poral or other severe punishment upon
any pupil under my direct tuition.
81 believe much of the trouble and
all of the punishment of last year
would have been avoided had the
pupils been previously taught to do
right because it is right to do so; there
seemed to be an impression among
them that it was the teachers duty to
make them do right and to make them
study. 1 believe there is a growing
tendency on the part of the pupils to
regard the teachers as their friends
and helpers. However this may be
during the year just closed there has
been no occasion for any corporal or
other severe punishment in the high
school and very little or none in the
g amman school,"

SHORT SKETCHES OF THE vARI-
Gus TEACHERS EMPLOYED.
A Brief Review os the Years Work, and
an Outline Of What Our Schools
are Doing.

It is a fitting time at the close of
the term, and a deserved tribute to a
successful school year to review brief
ly the work of the schools and to pre-
sent to the patrons of the district with
short sketch of the life work of the
teachers who have had charge of their
children during the study hours OF the
closing year.
The population of this district is
approximately 400, the school popula-
tion at the last enumeration was 354.
Total enrolment for the year was 318
and the average daily attendance 226.
The first eight grades are taught by
the five teachers below the high
school. The principal and assistant
have charge of the three high school
grades. Theoretically the course of
study fits for the university, but
practically it lacks three terms work
of doing so.

A Parrot story.

Parrots utter their well-learned SEN
fences sometimes at such appropriate
moments that one is often prone to
believe that perhaps, after all, they
have an idea of the meaning of the
words they utter. A lady in Philadel-
phia was the owner of one of these
birds, which had been in the family
for so years. It's mistress had devoted
much of her time to literary work,
and for nearly 80 years the parrot had
had its daily resting place on the
writing table or the back of the chair,
thence making excursions up the
writer's arm to the top of her head.
Often it's attentions were so annoying
that the lady would say, impatiently:
81 may as well lay down my pen" A
few moments before it died, the par
rot made a weak attempt to again
climb it's owners sleeve, fell in her
lap and croaked: ~ lay down my
pen" This sentence it had heard so
often that it remembered the words
and spoke them with it's last breath.
The aged pet certainly chose an APP
propriate phrase for the final effort
of its life.-Golden Days.

TRAIT0RoUs AGUINALDo.
Secret Archives Captured In LuEon
Tell the story OF His
Perndy.

Murat Halstead has made an anal
ysis of the Filipino archives captured
when Aguinaldo and his cabinet fled
from Malolos in the spring of 1890.
The result of this study is a revela-
ton of Aguinaldo's character that
places him before the American pub
lie in an entirely new light. Among
the documents captured were many
of Aguinaldo's private papers and let
ters from the Spanish authorities in
Manila, written after Dewey's vic
tory and before the capture Of the
city. There are the minutes of the
so-called Filipino republic, proclama-
tions, private instructions and Off
cial reports.
These various papers prove from
Filipino sources that Aguinaldo plot
ted treachery against the United
States and in favor of Spain before
the fall of Manila, that he was in
correspondence with the Spanish
Gen. Augustin. There are letters
proving that Aguinaldo wrote after
the battle of Manila and before the
capture of the city that he had the
hope>of preserving from the ship
wreck the sovereignty of Spain in

Cincinnati, June 10. = The most
elaborate arrangements have been
made for the twentieth international
convention of the Christian Endeavor

than usual is expected, especially
since these conventions hereafter will
be held only once in two years. The
choir of 1.500 trained voices will be
a feature at Music hall. Other large
choruses have been trained for the
exposition and other halls, while all
the churches and their choirs have
been engaged for the occasion. Bands
will discourse sacred music in WASH
ington park, adjoining Music hall. for
the open-air meetings. Gov. Nash,
Mayor Fleischman and local commit
teemen will deliver welcoming adj
dresses Saturday afternoon, July 9.
DR.. Clark will deliver his annual ad-
dress and Secretary Baer will make
his annual report Saturday evening.
On Sunday morning there will be
special addresses on Twenty Years OF
Christian Endeavor;" in the after
noon temperance rallies and in the
evening meetings for Sabbath OBJ
servance. The regular programmes
with meetings by sections will be car
ried out on the four following days,
with many of the most eminent men
in Christian work participating.

THE SITUATION in CUBA.
with the Piatt Amend
ment Must he the Out
come.

The new hitch IN the Cuban case is
to be regretted, but it has been
brought about by the Cubans them
selves, and doubtless will soon be re-
moved by them. In the acceptance of
the Platt amendment by the Havana
constitutional convention there was
an addenda which gives different in
depreciation to one or two of the pro-
visions of the amendment than the
letter of that measure will permit.
The visiting delegation of Cubans mis-
understood Secretary Root in his ex-
PLANTATION of some of the provisions of
the Platt terms, and their notion got
into the proceedings of the convention
at the time the terms were accepted.
They evidently supposed that the pres
ident and the secretary of war intend
I'd to remove some of the rigors of the
stipulations as set forth in the amend
ment, and they gave this idea to their
colleagues in the convention. In this
way the constitution trainers obtained
an erroneous view of the situation, and
this is reflected in their acceptance of
the terms.
What the Cubans have been told
now by Secretary Root is that the

there are 10,602 such places, as COM
pared with 1878 in 1890, and -3s cities
containing more than 100000 people
each. OF the large cities in 1900,
three, New York, Chicago and Phila-

for cities having between 100000 and
1000, 900 inhabitants, those in 1900
number three, as against only one in
1890.
There were no cities in 1900 con-
tanning between 100000 and 100000 in
habitants, but at the census of 1890
there were three cities of this class.
On the other hand, there were five
cities in 1900 with a population be-
tween 100000 and 100000, but I'm 1890
there were no cities coming between
these limits of population. OF the
total number of places in the list al

Platt amendment will have to be ac-
cepted as it stands. Neither the presi-
dent nor the secretary of war has any
authority to alter it in the slightest
degree. Their relation to ii is to en-
force it according to it's obvious letter.
The function of Interpreting the
amendment If there be any doubt as
to its exact meaning rests with the
courts. Congress has the authority
of making the terms and has the pow
er to change them in either direction
if it chooses. Congress- is the only
power which can do this. The func-
ton of the executive is to execute the
laws according to their letter, or APP
parent letter, and If there be any need
for an Interpretation of them so as to
clear up any doubt as to their exact
meaning that work will have to be
done by the judicial branch Of the gov
eminent.
The course for the Cubans is clear.
They must agree to the Plat statute
in its strict terms. There can be no
mental reservations or equivocations
on this point. Their official accept
ance must be so plain and so explicit
that there can be no possibility of
any hedging by them hereafter. That
they will meet the new situation in
the proper spirit is probable. The
necessities of the case have been
pointed out to them by the author
tiles at Washington in friendly way,
and they have been told that the
terms must be agreed to as they are
laid down in the statute. The con-
sequences of their rejection, or Of a
delay in their acceptance, can readily
be pointed out to the Cubans. The
American troops will remain in the
island until government which will
meet American ideas is established,
and this cannot be done unit, the re-
lations between Cuba and the United
States are agreed to by the Cubans
on the exact lines laid down in the
Plat proviso. It was the expecta-
tion that Cuban republic would be
in operation by the end of 1901 at the
latest, but IL there is to be any OBJ
structiveness on Cuba's part this out
come will be delayed. Probably an
amicable agreement will be reached
soon. At least this Is the hope of all
Americans. Until this is effected,
however, the United States soldiers
will remain in Cuba and the United
States flag will fly over Cuba's prin-
cipal cities and its Notifications.
