There Is a great difference in the
school systems, but in two ways is
this more noticeable. viz. inspection
OF school work and its results. The
system OF inspection abroad has been
developed TO such an extent that il is
more OF a science than an ordinary
routine, as in this country. The I'm.
spector spends AT least day a month
in each room, making copious notes of
both teachers and pupils work. critl-
cising in open class tie deficient stud
les and commencing those that are
satisfactory.
One report that l saw in Kenmare,
and prepared by the regular govern
ment officer, had the results carefully
tabulated. One copy was handed the
teacher another was sent TO the Board
)f Education, and another was retained
by the Inspector To aid him In his fu-
cure visits, thus leaving something tan
glble for the teacher and pupils TO
work on. The report set forth that
the department of the pupils was prop
erly maintained, but that the reading
Of the class was away below par:
mathematics was fair. spelling excel
lent penmanship could be improved
on, history was excellent. but geogra-
ply of the Western Hemisphere was
very poor, and grammar was all that
could be expected. With such a report
the teacher had some tangible basis
10 work on before the next appearance
Of the Inspector, before which time II
was expected the deficiency in studies
would be made up.
The inspection of class work in our
Chicago schools forms quite con
trast with this Here the assistant
superintendent rarely spends over n
half hour, and no report is made to the
teacher that would aid in remcdylng
defects, but she is left in ignorance of
now her work compares with other
teachers efforts.
At the same time | am willing TO
concede that it Is possible TO be more
definite abroad than at home, owing
70 more specific aims in the minds of
both the educators and text book writ
ers. Textbooks are rarely changed
abroad, and n student is taught rather
to grasp and retain detailed informa-
lion than look for it himself. Binders.
as 1t We're, are placed on his eyes. so
that he is unable TO look sidewise.
Certainly these schools are more adj
ganced in theory than ours, but we
surely excel them from a practical
side.

THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1902.
The ANNUAL LEVY,

1t is very doubtful if the County
Commissioners can make legal levy
of State and county taxes at their
meeting next week, by reason of the
failure of the Legislature to pass the
bill fixing the rate of State taxation
for the years 1902 and 1908.
Section of Chapter SIS of the Acts
of 1888, the local law under which the
State and county taxes of Garrett
county are levied, provided that the
County Commissioners shall make
the annual levy of State and county
taxes on or before the third Tuesday
of April in each and every year.
As there is no rate of State taxes
fixed, and in fact no law in existence,
as is now generally believed, under
which any State taxes can be levied,
we do not see how the Commissioners
can legally impose the annual levy.
1t is to be hoped, however, that some
solution of this vexed question will
be arrived at in time to avoid un-
pleasant consequences of doing some
thidg that might have to be undone
and set aside.

JONES MUST GO.

Democrats of Arkansas, at their
primaries, have failed to indorse Sen
ator James X. Jones for reelection.
They have expressed their preference
for man named Clark. Senator
Jones will retire on March 3 next and
lay aside his toga. His picturesque
figure will be missed. AS chairman
of the Democratic national committee
he engineered William j. Bryan's
presidential campaigns. There was
nothing more touching i'll the world
of politics than the optimistic faith
of Mr.. Jones in Mr.. Bryan's election,
and Mr.. Bryan seemingly had full
confidence in the Senator's electoral
representations.
Perhaps Arkansas has reached the
conclusion that Secretary Jones is no
longer one of the plain people. He
has become plutocrat, with more
than suspicion of octopustic ten
dencies. He is interested in a corpor-
alton which manufactures new sort
of cotton bail, and this contrivance,
being economical and efficient, is sell
ing SO we'll as to make it's owneIs rich.

not endure, and so Jones must 60.

RESURvEY OF MASON AND DIXON LINE
The Work Very Difficult and Tedious and
Will Require Sometime to Complete.

The Work Very Difficult and Tedious and
VIII Require Sometime to Complete.
When the legislatures of Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland decided not to
allow the Mason and Dixon Line to
lose its markings and to drop out of
existence, so far as visible signs of it's
historic location is concerned, bv al
propriating sums for its resurvey and
definite markings, they undertook a
work that is proving very difficult and
tedious. The surveys have only pro-
ceeded as far as Franklin county, Pa.
Through the forests on the mountain
they were obliged to cut path eight
feet wide in order to make their OBJ
servations. Here all the crown and
mile stones were found to be in place,
unlike the conditions in Adams coun-
ty, where they were displaced, one
having been used as a doorsill in a
dwelling, another in a church and
others living at considerable distances
from the original places. An interest
ing stone is located near Highfield.
Long covered by screen procured
by one of the Baltimoreans interested
in the development of the mountain
as summer resort, it is unusually
we'll preserved, and when reset was
sunk into the ground so deep that
only the coat-of-arms of the two sides
can be seen. About dozen old mark
ers and crown stones have been found
near Hagerstown, and will be erected
in the line. These had never been
put up, and, it is thought, had been
sent down the river and carted MANY
years ago to the vicinity where they
were found to await need for them.
Some of these stones are doing duty
in bake ovens and others are door
steps. All were recovered, although
not without vigorous objections on
the part of the people who were using
them. The work of establishing
the line is being done very carefully,
and the old stone posts set along it's
course after Charles Mason and Jere-
miah Dixon marked it out in 1868 are
being reset in solid cement bases and
iron posts are being substituted in
places where the old posts have dis
appeared.
