SUGGESTIONS.

Frozen strawberries will, a little lat
er be an acceptable dainty. The pres
ent early and not luscious variety are
not SO good frozen. Stem and wash
one quart of ripe berries. Mash them
with a wooden spoon; add one pound
of graduated sugar and juice of two
lemons, mix and stand aside one hour.
Then add one quart of water and freeze.
See that the sugar is thoroughly dissol-
we'd before turning into the freezing can.
These may be served as soon as frozen.
Miss Bedford's method of preserving
strawberries SO that they will hold their
color, as given in a cooking-class de-
monstration, requires only half a cup
full of water to three quarts or hulled
berries. Put over the fire and heat
very slowly till soft, turn into a strain
ing cloth maze of three t~hicknesses of
chessecloth, and press through as much
of the juice as possible. Put this Juice
and twelve pounds of sugar in the pres
CRYING kettle, heat slowly, and when
the syrup boils drop in nine quarts of
berries and simmer very slowly for if

until they are running over. Seal and

Certainly, for the moment, this would
relieve the congestion and grant US
breathing spell, but how long would it
last? Only for a year, perhaps, and
the problem would again loom up be-
fore us. The unwisdom of such pol
icy is apparent as we should proclaim
by it to our surrounding country that
we had departed from our traditional
liberal policy and descended to spirit
of selfisbness, satisfied with our own
we'll being, and unmindful of the good
we should extend to others. Public
education is not to be considered in
the light of private enterprise, but on
the broad idea of promoting and con
serving the public welfare.
To be liberal in all educational mat
ters is in keeping with the spirit of
the age. In the proper teaching and
training of the youth of this country
is found the safeguard of our liberties
and the bedrock upon which must
rest the prosperity of this republic.
If we do not misjudge our citizen
ship, Brookhaven is not going to lag in
it's progressive school work; but, as in
the past, will continue to offer the
most liberal educational inducements
to those who wish to come within the
circle of her influence. 1t matters not
whether the citizen be within the i'm
mediate limits of our city, just so he Is
a part of the real living element of our
territory. Certain it is that at no dis
tant time the limits of this municipal
ity must be extended from the results
of natural growth; and the burdens we
now bear will be shared by a greater
population and larger wealth, there
by making the proportion to each in
dividual lighter.
In this connection it is we'll to men
ton few facts in reference to the city's
growth during the past ten years:
For the year 1890, when the present
school building was erected, the total
assessed value of property was $685.
698, while the assessment for 1900 was
81, ,13s, 1923.
For the year 1890 the total school
enrolment was ITO, with an average
attendance of 81, while this session
just drawing to a close will show az
enrolment of AGO and an attendance
of 3O5. These last figures, no doubt
would have been larger had there beer
sufficient room for all applicants. The
outside attendance also shows the
same steady growth as last session
The pay and county pupils amounted t.
s5SS 80, while this session will SHOW
about $4,000 paid into the city schoo
fund from these sources.
These figures speak conclusively fo
themselves, and unless We can say tina
we have reached the limit of on

OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL,

In to-day's LEADER is published the
proceedings of the city council, unan-
imously adopted, authorizing the is
suance of bonds of the city to an
amount not exceeding $4,000 for
school purposes, and unless the proper
petition be filed within the required
time asking for an election, the bonds
will be issued as stated on June 4th.
Otherwise the date of issue will be
suspended awaiting the vote of the
qualified electors in the municipality.
In either event the matter will not be
delayed any longer than possible, as
the improvements contemplated must
necessarily be made during vacation.
The object of this bond issue is to
meet the necessity for larger and bet
ter accommodations in our public
school work and to improve the heat
ing, sanitation and ventilation of the
buildings in order that the most eff
cient work can be done in the most
approved manner. AS a matter of
fact, too little attention has been paid
in the past to these vital points in
school house construction, and as a
consequence both teachers and pupils
have been made to suffer from cold in
winter and excessive heat during the
warmer months of the session. The
plans and specifications, as prepared
by Messrs. A. j. Bryan & Co. (who. by
the way, drew the plans for the Lin
coin county court house,, seem to
meet not only the immediate necessities
of the case, but also to provide ample
accommodations for double the pupils
now in attendance and for long time
protect us from overcrowding our
school rooms now so self evident.
Something has to be done at once In
order to prepare the school for next
sessions work, and in adopting the
plans as stated, we think the council
has done the very wisest and best
thing for the community, for if they
are allowed to carry into effect their
scheme of enlargement it will guaran-
tee us one of the most splendidly
equipped school buildings in the State
and yin k eeping with the spirit OF prog
gress so much in evidence in our com
munity.
The Board is almost certain that this
additional debt can be carried without
any increase in the present tax levy
since the increase in assessed valua-
tion will meet the greater part of any
necessary levy.
Now it has been suggested by some
that we exclude from our school all
pupils living outside the city limits
and provide only for our own children
The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1901-05-15

growth, then we must prepare to meet
the demands of present and future
necessity.
Let US have the splendid building as
shown in the new plans and we are
satisfied every good citizen in the
community will feel proud of the
achievement The public buildings
mark the social and moral status of
all communities; therefore, we must
see to it that our pride and standing
be we'll maintained before the public
eve.

THEIR ANNIVERSARY.
Members of the Knights of Pythias Cele~
brate in Racine Tuesday Evening.

A number of the members of Red
Cross Lodge, Knights of Pythias, went
to Racine Tuesday evening to assist
the Racine lodge in a celebration of
the thirty-seventh anniversary of the
founding of the order. At the meeting
nearly all the lodges in southern Wis
consin were represented and it was
one of the greatest K. of P. meetings
ever held IN this part of the state.
The celebration was held at the
Racine chapters lodge and the early
hours were given over to the carrying
out of splendid program in which
several Wisconsin Knights made
speeches. Later the company ad-
iourned to the dining room where the
Racine chapter entertained at BAN
quet. After the banquet had been
served chairs were pushed back and
the knights spent pleasant hour lis
tening to impromptu toasts by MEM

scented.

Railway Officials Reported to be Pre-
pairing Queer Proposition
to the City Council.
CITY TO HELP WITH THE BRIDGE
Stated that the Company Will Propose to
Erect New Bridge on Main street If Re-
leased From Building Local Lice.

Most startling rumors are flying
around the streets today in regard to
the proposed action of the kenoSha
street railway company in presenting
proposition to the city council in re-
gard to the rebuilding of Main street
bridge and it is rumored that the COM
pany will present proposition to the
council in the near future asking that
the clause of the ordinance providing
for local line be stricken out and in
consideration of this concession to the
company it will agree to build a mod
ern bridge over the river at Main street
without asking the city to pay any of
the expense connected with the build
ing of the bridge.
This report cannot be verified and
the railway company's officials in
Kenosha when asked in regard to the
matter stated that they had no know1-
edge as to the proposition of Mr.. Ar
mold which will be submitted to the
council next Monday evening. It is
known that the Chicago men will ask
the city to pay portion Of the ex-
pense of the bridge, but this PROPOSE
ton has been so co1dly received by the
members of the council that it is stated
that the proposition to drop the local
line will be substituted. This propo-
sition has met with storms of opposi-
tiou among the people to whom it has
been presented. Mr.. C1ausen was in
Kenosha yesterday but no interviews
with him could be obtained and his
statements to other people were so
vague that it is impossible to pick from
them the real plan of the company.
The railway muddle is undoubtedly
in bad shape and the building of the
line will undoubtedly be greatly de-
1ayed and it is possible that complica-
tons will arise that will force the COM
pany to abandon their franchise.
In regard to the bridge the company
seems to think that it has a right to
demand that the city pay portion of
the expense, but the aldermen who
were seen this morning stated that the
city would never consent to pay sim
gle cent for this purpose.
Should the local feature of the rail-
way be dropped the line would become
practically a through line and the BEN
efts which were supposed to accrue to
the city from the building of the line
would be largely of a negative nature.
The announcements of the alleged
plans of the company have caused
quite little apprehension among the
city officials and the action of the
council on the proposition of Mr.. Ar
mold and his company will be watched
with great interest.
