What Killed the Public School System

What Killed the Public School System.
In an interesting article. furnished by
1rr. VI. B. Dennis. the following SEN
tence occurs:
sOnly recently a prominent citizen OF
a middle Georgia county, In writing TO a
gentleman OF state and national reputa-
ton. living in Atlanta. had occasion 70
refer 70 matters relating 20 the public
school system. In the reply the Atlanta
gentleman spoke OF the system substan-
tally as dead and perhaps quite beyond
resurrection"
Mr.. Dennis. with pardonable preoccupa-
don OF mind. decides that the gentleman
evidently referred 20 the shabby manner
Of settling with the teachers and the cir
cumstantiai indifference OF the legislature
regarding the matter"
Unless the writer OF the reply here no

correspondent about the states indifer-

condition OF the public school system was
not germane TO the conclusion reached by
Mr.. Dennis. IN his published document.

It was the day before Christmas, and
Mrs. Rabbit was just wondering how she
could buy something to put in each OF
the stockings of all the little Rabbits and
also enough things at the market to fur
nish a large dinner for the family. She
sat at the table with a pencil and paper.
trying to count up just how much every
thing would be, and to figure how she
would ever make the little money she had
do for all the things she had to buy. Just
then in came Mr.. Rabbit wearing new
fur coat and carrying a brand new cane.
There. nowl It's just perfect shameF
said Mrs. Rabbit.
"Of course IT Is" said Mr.. Rabbit;
here came home after working hard all
day, expecting to find dinner all ready,
and what do / see? find you figuring
out more ways to spend money. I should
say II was a shame? Mrs. Rabbit said
she didn't mean that at all. She meant
that II was a perfect shame that she could
not buy Christmas presents for all the
children and a big Christmas dinner, too,
while Mr.. Rabbit could get new,fur coats
and canes, as II he didn't have any family
to look after. Then Mr.. Rabbit said that
II was just like a woman, and that he
could make the money go far enough to
get everything necessary. Mrs. Rabbit
said that, in that case, she would just like
to see him do it, that was all; so he took
the money and off he went.
When he reached the market Mr.. Rabt
bit found a lot of the other animals there
buying things for Christmas dinners.
They bought so much and such delicious
things that he was ashamed to buy the
very few things that he planned to get
while they we're there. Mr.. Bear, Mr..
Dog, Mr.. Fox, Mr.. Crow and the others
acted as IL they wanted to, so Mr.. Rabbit
sneaked on to the toy stores to get the
playthings for his children. Just as he
had bought almost as many presents as
he could afford in came Mr.. Bear, Mr..
Fox. Mr.. Dog and all the rest to buy play
things for their children. They began to
purchase right and left and buy the most
beautiful toys. while the things Mr.. Rab-
bit had bought looked very mean beside
them. Then Mr.. Dog asked Mr.. Rabbit
how he expected to ever make those few
toys go around among all of his children.
Mr.. Rabbit was so ashamed that he did
not know what to do, but he said he was
not through buying yet, and then he went
ahead and spent for toys all the money
he should have saved to buy the Christ
mas dinner. At last he did not have
cent left, but he had just as many nice
presents for his children as the other ami
mails had for theirs.
When Mrs. Rabbit found he had spent
all of his money for toys and had not
bought anything for the Christmas dinner
she was as angry as she could possibly
be, and she told Mr.. Rabbit that he had
to go right out and get something for the
Christmas dinner somehow and that was
all there was about It, Mr.. Rabbit took
his hat and went out. feeling very badly,
indeed, and trying TO think of some way

What's the Matter With the Turkeys7

What's the Matter With the TurkeysY
A good friend asks me TO write about
n scaly. scabby disease that Is killing
turkeys down in her part Of Georgia. Sne
saws IL settles on their legs and is evldent-
ly catching. The turkeys get lame ana
disabled and some of them die from It,
Will not some reader give us the name
of the disease and the remedyE
This turkey raising is a serious domestic
problem. II you can find the nest and save
the eggs from the crows, then you may
take chances on the Matching.
After the shy little things come out OF
the shell they will dart about under
leaves and bushes like they were scared
70 death. II you turn the hen loose she
and they will rove "all over creation,
and II is ten to one you viii never see
the full number come up again. III she
races through the dew and wet grass with
the little things, they will surely disap-
near and a hard storm of rain will make
a finish, II their fool mother Keeps gal
loping about as mine do sometimes.
If had as many dollars as have taken
tramps around and about to keep up
with hateful, provoking turkey hens'

following this business in small way Tor
a third of a century.
Every year / make new resolutions, and
every spring find myself doing exactly
as those gallivanting turkey hens provoke
me to do-trotting after them. l should
guess, on q venture, that l could nave
bought two turkeys at Christmas Of my
trouble and vexation with them could be
estimated) for every one raise and get to
the table. but then some other people like
nv turkeys, and last year they carried or
four nice hens just before Thanksgiving,
and only found some scattered feathers
where they crossed over into the woods,
xrvOvaHnr that the business
is vexatious, when they are stolen after
raising.
Four-legged dogs are plentiful and two
legged ones are very sly. The four tur-
keys went by the dog route, and am
constantly dreading another raid, for,
having eaten one on Thanksgiving day,
still have seven left for Christmas and to
start on In the spring, according to Gus
tom. NY mind tells me that i will take
up as usual the vexatious business when
spring opens, II am left here to begin 1t.
/ shall certainly give up II diseases and
dogs consume the stock on hand, and
guess that might be agreeable to my
tired feet. If 1 could only see 1t that way.
I am beginning to comprehend that tur-
KEYS and old people are not suited to
each other, so far as watching, Winding
and keeping off rogues are concerned.
They need young feet, lively stepping
and somebody to watch rogues. A near
neighbor had an experience a few days
ago. He has some white Holland turkeys,
of which he is very proud. One night
while the moon was up somebody caught
one and carried 1t off. The neighbor pur-
sued with a pistol, and shortly the rogue
dropped the turkey, and he recovered the
poor, scared fowl by a mere chance.
Until dog law is passed we must fight
a fight to keep dogs from poultry.
Raise your turkeys II you are young
enough to do all the sort of things here
mentioned.

slightest thing Of holiday, the birth OF
Christ, or even that there was such per-
son as Christ But when the reservation
schools opened, all of these things were
taught, much against the desire of the old
Indians, who did not care to have their
offspring reared in the path of the pale
face, whom they so despised. The mothers
used to move their tepees close to the res
ervation schools, and every night they
would try to worm out of the child every
thing the teacher had taught her during
the day. Progress with the red children
was thus delayed. until an order against
the women coming near their children du-
ring the school season was issued and en-
forced. The little girls are quick to
learn, and the boys are apt and witty.

Cut Very Wide Swathe

The Camera and the Building Association
Cut Very Wide swaths
Mrs Mildred Barry DOESN'T want her
case against the Boulder Building and
Loan Association tried in this county
and she asks the district court for a
change of venue. Her attorney, John
Hipp, sets up that the association has for
officers J. H. Nicholson, cashier OF a
bank and Prof. Ira NJ. DeLong, popular
professor Of the university and that both
are members of the Chautauqua board
and, therefore, men OF great influence
and power and popularity; that certain
articles published in the Camera and the
Boulder Tribune have pois oned the mind
OF the community against her; that those
newspapers have wide circulation and
vast influence in the community and her
case has been greatly prejudiced by
these publications, Because OF these
things and the popularity and powe- Of
the building association, she swears that
it is is impossible for her to &c. justice in
BOULDER county and she seeks change
to some other community less dominated
by Chautauqua and Camera influences.
Mrs Barry's case is like that of her
mother. Both claim to be without their
certificates Of stock in the building asso-
citation. The association has the money
ready for them. but its rules are not to
pay until SUR ender of certificate. They
say they never hai any. which is re
markable circumstance. The association
says. very well, then. give US an lndem
nif, ing bond in any reasonable amount
and we will pay" Mr. Hipp says mo
bond. we want our money without re
course" And there you are. What's
the poor woman to do with such lawyer
| for advisor and what's the association to
do if some one should present the lost
Tor was it never issuedG certificate and
demand its cash value?
A counter affidavit has been set up by
S A. Giffin. attorney for the association
which shows that the Barry ladies are
reputable. that no one Is prejudiced
against them and that the jury list con-
tains only two names which are repre-
nted in the stock holding OF the associ
