membership in the governing body.
The larger the body the greater
number of conflicting elements are
brought together.
The model method. therefore, for
the government of public schools,
and especially those of cities and
large towns, is by three commits
sioners, one of whom should give
his entire time and attention to the
schools, being prohibited from en-
gaging in any other business, and
the other two should act as adj
visers. Meetings should be held
often, daily if deemed expedient.
They should be selected entirely on
the ground of merit and their pc
culiar fitness for the work, and
should be well paid for their SER
vices.
The advantages of this system
would be that all sections would re-
ceive equal consideration and adj
vantages, and the strong man from
some particular ward or school dis
trict would not be there to try to
secure everything for his section.
1t is admitted by nearly everyone
that our District government is
model form of government. Then
why should the same system not
possess the like advantages if ap-
piled to the government of public
schools?

after life. or manhood and woman
hood. And discord in the school
board or between the board and
the instructors is soon known to
every pupil. Therefore, there
should be the same pleasant rela-
tons and perfect harmony existing
in our schools as exists in model
homes. if we are to give to our
country good citizens-good men
and refined women.
In nine cases out Of ten, school
boards are composed either of poll
ticians or favorites of the appoint
ing power, merit and fitness being
of the least Importance. The result
is the board or organization is soon
divided into factions, each working
and dickering for some selfish pur-
pose or some pet scheme, OF else
using his position to augment the
patronage of his profession or call
ing. or trying TO force some foolish
fad or impractical idea into the
schools. while the most troublesome
member of all is the one who is al
ways hunting for trouble and
frauds and never finding them. The
true purpose for which they should
labor-a perfect school system-is
entirely overlooked.
These conditions are caused by

Mr.. Frye's Rule on Fisticuffs.

President pro TEN. Frye of the Senate
rules that ii is impossible for the official
reporters of the Senate to take down a
stenographic report of a one round fight
between Senator's on the floor even though
the encounter shall occur during a ses-
sion.
Mr.. Frye made his rule yesterday. 1t
caused a laugh. The manner of it was
like this:
The Clerk was reading to the Senate
the report of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections on the Tillman- McLaurin
scrap" The report contained the full
official report of all the debate bearing on
the incident, including the talk immedi-
ately before and Immediately following
the actual exchange Of blows. The com
mittee, in quoting the record had for
words OF the reporter describing the en-
counter until the end of the entire story.
Mr.. Teller objected to this. He stated
that the report made him call the two
South Carolina Senators to order for an
offence which. According to the report,
they had not YET committed
The Presiding Officer then made his ex-
PLANTATION: The reason of the error. II
will be seen is that there is no way for
the official reporters to make a steno-
graphic report OF personal encounter"

TROUBLES OF GENIUS IN

LlNCOLN'S DIGNITY

lheie remains in some quarters an i'm
| preston that in his personal manner and
address Abraham Lincoln was TOO
brusquely. sometimes even Extensively
familiar with his daily associates. but Ger
amy no person could appear less so
throughout all his correspondence and Of
hcial utterances. Even in informal and
purely personal matters his numerous
notes and kilograms to his closest friends
were always most respectful and digpifed
II anything, too stiffiy formal
periodically story goes the rounds of
the public press in which the President
addresses his Secretary of War as Dear
Stanton" directing him to appoint a GER
tain man chaplain in the army. In due
course stanton replies: Dear Mr.. Lin
coin: He is not n preacher" There is
further correspondence between .Dear
stanton and Dear Mr.. Lincoln" on the
SUBJECT finally eliminating in Stanton re-
iusing point blank to appoint the Presi
ueht friend TO the chaplaincy This is
to show how yielding Lincoln was. and

sition in the Cabinet
now, mere is internal evidence that
hoth.-s OF this kind ever happened. In
me first place, the President and not his
Secretary of War, appointed all the chan
lains in the regular army; secondly, Mr..
stanton was never addressed by the Presi-
dent as Dear Stanton" on any occasion
whatever. Lincoln's correspondence is
proof positive of this. 1t also pretty
plainly indicates that if Lincoln had a
friend he desired to appoint to an office
ne would have done it very quickly, de-
spite Mr.. Stanton's opposition
In fact, Lincoln never started even the
most hasty note Dear Seward" or Dear
Stanton" or Dear Halleck," as under
the circumstances at times might have
been clearly permissible. They were al
most invariably addressed Hen. Secre-
tary OF State. My Dear Sir" or Hon.

The best and, therefore, the
proper method of managing our
public schools is one of the most
important questions of the day.
One of the two greatest evils eX-
lists in nearly every school com
munity. i. e., insufficient govern
ment or too much government.
There is no question as to the
latter evil being the greater of the
two. as that condition deprives the
teachers, the large majority of
whom are much more competent
than the governing power, of eXer-
cising any discretion, but, on the
contrary, binds them down to i'm
practical and irritating rules, which
condition impairs their efficiency
and units them for the best work.
On the other hand. if the control
be lax and Indifferent, the teacher
may exercise judgment. based on
training and experience. as well as
use discretion without the fear of
dismissal for INSTRUMENTATION
The greatest and most serious
and most lasting evil of improper
government and conflict in our
schools is the bad impression left on
the minds of pupils. Such impress
sions during childhood are not
easily cured, but iare carried into

An Appeal foz
Fractional Cuzzency.
By MR.. w. C. DODGE.

A bill has been introduced to
coin half cent pieces, but why !
cannot imagine, as they are not
needed, and no one wants them.
When | went down the Mississippi
pi in 1s49, | was surprised in max
ing small purchase at Quincy,
ILL.,, to have the merchant refuse
to receive cents in making change
Whether such is still the practice
there l cannot say. Later, on the
Pacific Coast, | found that neither
paper money nor cents would pass
at all, and | understand that cents
are not used there to this day.
When in California in 1s49 and
1850 | saw men with large rolls of
bank bills, which We're worthless,
as no one would take them. They
were generally kept as curiosities
on the gambling tables, gambling
being then a very prevalent bust
ness, and was considered legiti-
mate by most people.
If Congress wants to do some
thing to accommodate the public
it should provide for the issue of
fractional currency, such as we
had during and after the war.
There has never been anything in
the shape of money that was such
convenience to the public, or
that was so profitable to the Gov
eminent. 1t is infinitely more con-
'enlent for the mass of the people
and less expensive for the Govern
ment than postal orders or cur
rency. Why, then, not let us have
it? There is no more reason
why we should not have fractions
OF the dollar in paper than there
is why we should not have paper
multipies of the dollar-twos. fives. |
tens, etc. 1t would save n vast
amount of time both to the public /
and the officials, and be one of the |
greatest conveniences we could |
nave. | never could understand |
why its-issue was abandoned.

The troubles of an inventor do not al
ways end with the securing of patent
and the marketing of his device. says
THE North American Inventor" There
is that hydra-he literary difficulty
from which the strongest shrink-"the
naming of the baby" Few new owners
of gift of the stork spend more time
In anxious thought than does the unhappy
inventor who cannot find either in his own
thoughts or the suggestions Of his friends
the proper appellation for the child of his
brain.
And some of the names which are finally
51osen are the height of absurdity. Why
should an unsuspecting public be COM
PEELED - twist its tongue to the pronun-
citation of such anachronsms as 'tele-
graphony," the science of new instru-
ment; "telautographical,' describing
writing sent over wire, or 'teleacro-
gram" the name of the product of a new
engraving machine? Why this overwork-
ing of ''tele?"

mo Seat No Fare" Bill,

Among the local bills recently intro
talk than the NO seat no fare" bill
which is now before the House District
Committee. The author of the measure,
Representative Albert A. Blakeney of the
Second Congressional district of Mary
land, says the bill is practical and that
he will press 1t. The street railway COM
panies in the District should put on a SUI
fcient number Of cars to accommodate
the traffic. and then. he said, everybody
could be provided with a seat But unless
Congress takes some action, he contends,
the street car companies will continue TO
do just as they please.
Mr.. Blakeney is preparing another bill
which he will introduce in a few days 1t
il to require every street car company in
the District to furnish an all-night ser
vice on every line of road. The service
Is to begin at ] o'clock a. N. and continue
until the regular tally schedule begins.
The Pennsylvania Avenue cars Mr..
Blakeney said. were all right, and it is
great convenience to people who are kept
out late and who live on the line OF that
railroad, but there are other lines Of
street railroads, he claims, along which
people live who are denied the all-night
service, and IL 10 for these people he Will
introduce the bill. Mr.. Blakeney believes
the street car companies of the Capital
OF the nation should furnish an all-night
car service without being compelled to do
so by an act Of Congress-
