Basketball Friday.

Central City is to be represented in this
city Friday night December "a. All due
TO the fact that the girls of that city have
decided upon playing a match game of
basketball with the high school team of
this city. The Central City girls would
not come over unless they were assured
of the fact that they would be able to at
tend a dance and for that reason the
Trocadero has been secured for the even
ing. 1t is plainly evident that they expect
to go down in defeat and are desirous of
drowning their sorrow by tripping the
light fantastic. They claim that if the
home girls win they will steal the girls
sweethearts.
The game promises to be hotly contest
ed and it will be well worth the seeing
Everybody should make it a point to be
present and encourage the high school
girls.

The following is from mines and In
vestments After stating that 1t is
heartily in favor of Siftings' idea for a
monument to the memory of George A
Jackson it remarks: "We derire to make
another suggestion somewhat similar to
that of the proceeding paragraph. The
pioneers are fast passing away. The busy
scenes of life for them will soon be over.
A historical society should be formed in
every mining district to collect matters
of historical interest, while some of the
pioneers are yet with us. Photographs,
relics, old maps and pictures, copies of
old newspapers and numerous matters OF
great interest could be easily collected
now, and these would be CT priceless val
ue to future historians. An appropriate
place for such collection would be in
the museum of the capitol in Denver pro-
viding there is sufficient room. Or the
different mining districts might provide
separate repositories, care being taken to
provide against the contingency of loss
by fire. Mines and Investments would
be pleased to see this matter discussed
by the representative papers of the vari-
Gus mining districts of the state"

An Impracticable Commission

The proposition that the public school
system of MARYLAND is susceptible of improve
ment is probably safe one and the move to
provide commission TO report upon plan
tor its improvement is In line with modern
methods, but when it is proposed that uni
versty heads, bankers and men prominent IN
finance and commerce shall constitute such
commission, it becomes case OF very ex'
cellent first thought rendered ruga'ory BY
p,acipr the work in the hands Of men who
ut best can he theoretic. Reverse the prop
osition and propose that the banking or
commercial system shall he modihed ana
Dlace the work in the hands of a commission
composed of the school teachers Of the State;
how many members of the Legislature could
be induced to advocate the measure!
II is lust rs certainly true that banker or
a mere liant is US little qualified to formulate
a school system us Il school teacher would
he to revise the laws of tuance and com
merce, There are men in the State who
haye given the best years of their life to
teaching or directing school matters: men
like Mr. E. l.. Boblitz our couniy's efficient
examiner; men who Lave been identified in
the State and who have Travelled and studied
the systems in other States; in word, men
who have given the intelligent care and
thought of their lives, specifically, to primary
education, 1t is from among such, and there
are such, that the commission should he Sc
lected, if we are to have the benefit of exper'
fence aud not that of impracticable theorists.
1t will not suffice TO say that such men as
we have suggested will remain in the old
ruts; it is probable that no set Of men ia any
vocation have kept abreast of the times in
the matter of informing themselves to a
greater extent than the men who fill the
place of examiner in the several counties of
the State and they realize fully and clearly
the possibilities Of improvement, but, as an
organized body in the State, they have never
been accorded the weight OF influence to
which in our judgment they, through intrin
SIC merit are entitled by virtue of their ex.
per.ence and the necessity and opportunity
to keep themselves informed concerning the
best methods in vogue elsewhere, Let there
be a good business man or two on the com
mission as proper financing is essential in
this as in any other matter, but let the real
work OF the COMMISSION be done by those
whose education and training has best fitted
them for it.

silk embroidery, is very cheap, but ivory,
which is fast becoming scarce, brings fair
price, yet much cheaper than IN our own
