ABOUT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

State School Superintendent Baxter
has sent statement to county and
city superintendent in reply to an
Interpretation of the new law that the
state appointments shall be made
hereafter on the basis of aggregate
days attendance of the pupils in pub
lie schools, instead of on the basis
of the school census, as heretofor g.
The questions stated were, what
effect the closing OF schools on ac-
couut of contagious diseases, holidays
and repairs, the holding of halliday
or continuous sessions; dismissal be-
canse of bad weather and the holding
of evening and summer schools would
have on the reports of actual atten-
dance to be made by the teachers at
the close of school for the summer.
1t was also asked whether a child
could be counted if he reported at roll
call and remained a few moments
only. That the closing of school on
account of contagion or repairs will
be counted as open under certain con
ditions, but that holidays cannot be
counted. Children must remain at
school an hour at one session to be
counted.

Prof. Heron has very properly been
expelled from the Congregational Church
and from the ministry. The charges
against him were immortality and I'M
christian conduct" as proved by evil
dence in the divorce proceedings brought
by his wife, and upon which she secured
a divorce. The Congregational Church
is to be congratulated upon its action
relative to Heron, who was not only a
disgrace to that particular denomina-
ton, but to the church at large.

on the part Of the insurance companies
has been made on the full value of the
policy.

June extras are going into cold storage
at about 20 cents, a marked advance
over the prices paid few years ago,
when 10 and 16 cents was considered
a good price for June creamery butter.
The improved methods of refrigeration
which almost perfectly preserve the
June butter flavor are largely respon-
sible for this advance. The margin be-
tween June and January butter is now
very small.

A college commencement where only
80 per cent. Of the graduating class are
present to receive their diplomas seen
strange. But this was the case at Stew

were 40 in the class of Naughty -one,
but only IL of them were at the exer

various lines of applied mechanics Oh
science was SO urgent that large mum.

Dr. Louis L. Seaman, of New York
City, who was at the front during the
war in Cuba and also in the Philippines
read a paper at the recent meeting of the
Association Of Military and Army Sur
geons, on the "Army Canteen." The
association declared unanimously in
favor of the restoration.
In his paper which was a particularly
strong .one DR.. Seaman gsaid THAT
less than per cent of the soldiers are
total abstainers and that in the Phillip
pines especially there had been three
fold increase in court martial for drunk
ness since the canteen was abolished.
He also said that the men get the liquor
away from the post and leave the saloon
for the brothel. He said that as a result
immortality in the army had increased
nearly 100 per cent, which was proved
by statistics collected by army surgeons.
He added "Abolishing the canteen has
promoted intemperance, INSTRUMENTATION,
discomfort, sulleness, disease and deser-
TONS. 1t has embittered the men and
driven them to the very excuses sought
to be abolished

Another evidence of how times are
changing is shown in the report which
the United Confederate Veterans re-
ceived from their historical committee
at the convention which has lust closed
at Memphis. That report said in part:
I'VE Southern people once regarded
Abraham Lincoln as one of the most
despicable creatures that ever lived
Now, while we do not endorse the poll
cy which he pursued, we honor him for
his unquestionable sincerity, PATRIOTS n
and ability" The report which con
tanned this was adopted unanimously.
Such reference to Lincoln would have
been impossible not many years ago.
The superintendent of public schools
in Paterson will next year install
system for recording the efficiency of
teachers employed in the public
schools of Paterson. Data will be
filed away each year regarding the
pedagogical methods of the teacher,
the general success and the manner of
conducting herself before the class.
Each teacher will be marked by the
principal in charge. and the result
will be known to none except the
authorities. Thus complete record
of each teachers time and place Of
service and general ability will be
ready at hand at all times.
