 press Their Sympathy.
 Washington March 20.-The demo- cratic members of the house, at a cau- GUS held last night, unanimously adopt ed refolutlons declaring that congress should express the sympathy of the American people for the struggling Boer republics, and pledging them- selves to use their utmost endeayors to force" the committees to report reso- lutions expressive of such sympathy in order that congress might have an op- portunity to act.
 The Crumpacller resolution to inves- tigate the franchise question was not considered at last nights caucus.

The Sulzer resolution pledged the members to use their best efforts to have con- gress request the president to urge

OF course we need better schools.

A district which is financially able to
employ the very best Of teachers may
have a school that defles criticism, and
yet be far from perfect. The one grave
fault lies in our text. books-or, to be

Pupils in American schools are
taught that old Ethan Allen demanded
the British commanders surrender,.In
the name of the Great Jehovah and the
Continental Congress-" True, these
time-worn words have a patriotic ring,
but to the average mind they are quite
unnatural, and 1t is not surprising that
a bit of careful historical research re-
veals their fictitious character. 1t is
now known that brave and blunt old
Ethan simply said to the British COM

they have a time of it as they labor

more to be pitied are they who look not
