creasingly difficult to induce good teach
ers to accept positions at the Capital
efor the salaries offered. One OF TIE
pwisest things Congress could do would
be to raise the scale OF wages to pub
lie school teachers % per cent. at least
in the grades below that of supervising
principal, and even there the salaries
are less than in other cities where the
same standard OF attainment is required.
The best talent in the teachers pro-
fession cannot be had except at high
salaries, and the Board OF Education
ought not TO be hampered on the money
question when an otherwise brilliant
instructor IS available.
One Of the most serious questions
with which the new Board of Education
has had to deal has been the lack of
buildings. For several years IL has
classes in the primary and lower
grades to supply room for the pupils
That necessity las now measurably
passed. Within the last school year six
school buildings were opened. which re-
lieved the congestion to a very large ex-
tent These buildings were the Matthew

very serious condition confronts the

large one, has a seating capacity for 26C

necessary to send 200 of the Manual

Clean Faces and New Footwear.
By wise provision OF the Board Of
Education, children are required TO come
to school with clean faces, whole
clothes. and shoes on their feet. Going
barefoot is discouraged. and allowed
only in extreme cases where poverty
pinches the parent purse. Cleanliness
is at a premium. rags are not tolerated.

School System Efficient.
An observant travelling agent for a
publishing house said recently the public
school system of Washington was better
organized and running more smoothly
than any other in the United States,
with the possible exception of Chicago.
This is high praise. but II may be taken
as an indication of the general efficiency
of the educational facilities OF the Dis
trict. The taxpayers. who contribute
81, zoe. 900 annually to the cause of public
education, may congratulate themselves
that in a general comparison with other
cities the money is well spent.
The schools OF the District are housed
in 1877 buildings owned by the municipal
fly, and about twenty rented quarters OF
more or less capacity. The value OF the
school buildings and grounds owned by
the District is 81, SOC, OOO The actual
cost OF education in the last fiscal year
was s1.70s. 604. In the fiscal year ended
IN 1902 there were 4S,432 pupils, with an
average daily attendance of 81, 1896. The
number Of pupils increases at the rate OF
500 each year. There were 1923 teach
ers, whQewere paid an average salary Of
$3.50. Janitor service cost $74 900, con-
tingent expenses were S32, 1853. books and
supplies cost s44.95s. and fuel cost
$4,000.
The government Of the District public
schools is vested in Board OF Educa-

After a most amiable reception the aged mother of the mad boy got the girls companion away on a clever pretext and invited the supposed young witch to the upper floor, where the family gathering awaited her arrival, and, with the object of inducing the un- happy girl to break the spell oyer her former lover, tortured her in ways too barbarous and revoltlng to be described. When rescued, the girl was a mass of wounds from head to foot and mad through fear.

 The famous Governor Bradbury of Maine, who lived to be nearly 100. was asked how long life was best sought, and replied: "Get an incurable ailmeht in your you and nurse 1t till you die." He had left college as a young man with mal- ady pronounced incurable. An old Eng fish proverb applied to always ailing but never dying persons says: The crealSing farm gate never falls. This reason is that the farmers strong gate Is opened and shut carelessy, while the creaking one is always handled gently. Neverthe- less, more robust and less careful people may learn wisdom from the many half invallds who by eating and drinking little and wisely, live to great ages. Most men dig their graves with their teeth,' says the octogenarian, Dr. D. K. Pearsons of Chicago, who opines that centenarians would be plentiful if men consumed Hess gross food and more fresh air."

i time the call of the west was wild ad- venturous summons which bade men come out into the wilderness where the laws of God alone prevailed, and there was freedom for every human being. There was a hint of fertile lands that could be hand for the trouble of taking, lands that, if properly cultivated would support a comfortable little home. From the plains came the faint echoes of thrill ling fights with Indians successful hunts of abundant game, and tales of wealth easily won. Many adventurous natures yielded to the fascination, so that the plains were soon dominated by the white man. As the Ango-Saxon advanced to- ward the setting sun, the red men re- treated slowly.
 But, 1t remained for the year 1S49 to send out the most alluring call the Amer ican west ever yet made to the American east. Then, it was gold, gold in fabulous quantities, that could be gathered by any who dared to make the long trip across the plains or around the horn. Since this first electric summons. the voice of the west has never diminished in power or persuasiveness. A steady stream of travellers has made its way toward the Pacific coast in an increasing volume. Even the old are seized with ,4e fever and start out to begin life over again in land where prosperity Is promised.
 Since the days of 1S49, there have been changes, but the attraction has not di- minished Today the first thought of the American youth when beginning his career in the world Is the west. Even though the country has lost much of it's picturesque flavor and adventurous at- mosphere, it is still a land of promise. Every year broken down farmers and business men, half starved lawyers and doctors without a practice turn as a last resort to the country which has called them during the years of their diversity.
 The white race has rapidly filled the former wilderness beyond the Mississippi and now the question Is where next shall we go? The shores of the Pacific have long ago been prompted for our needs and we seem to have reacheI the limit of our wanderings Now. there Is no west for the peoples of the world i, un- less it be the islands of the great ocean many of which have been overrun. Un- less the tide of immigration turns back upon itself. there seems to be nc room for further expansion. At the present rate of development the western portion of the American continent will be filled to overfiowing in another century. There will then be nothing else for us to do but begin a march upon the great Mongolian hordes.
 What the future holds in store is hard to say. Perhaps there may yet come a day when the prediction of the seers will come true, and the world will be domi- mated by the Anglo-Saxon race At any rate the call of the west has accomplish ed its mission and has led us onward un- til the world on this side the ocean is the marvel of all nations.

BY PAUL COOK.

It began back in that dim and distant past when the races first started out in a conquest of the earth from their home beneath the Caucasus mountains. Al though vast horde spread out in all di- rections the people who were to make name in history turned toward the west with it's boundless promise, land of future empires. Ages rolled away and still the tide of humanity was turned westward. The Romans were decadent but new world power had sprung up which was destined to send out it's van guards still further toward the setting sun. The strange mysterious power seems to have grown stronger as the cen- turies sped by. and in 14GO it called with voice of wonderful fascination te a young boy dreaming over his book on the shore of Italy.
 Even before the imaginative mind of Columbus had dared to speculate on the possibilities of that region beyond the Atlantic ocean, thinking men of the day had spent much time in fruitless discuss sion. At that time the voice of the west was largely mercenary one, or else the vain prompting that leads men to search for honor. Monarehs were anxious that new route to a rich country be diseov- cred in order that their coffers might be filled to overfiowing with Indian gold, while the navigators thirsted for the fame and high station that would be his who first accomplished feat of sailing west to India.
 At last the cal1 nrevai1ad 11poY, CoI11y,a. bus, and he began his efforts to secure caravei which was to open up a new world of resources never yet imagined After the discovery of America by Co., lumbus, the west began to sway mems minds and hearts far more than in ear- Her days when the tide of immigration was unconscious. Now, the west had become land of wealth, a refuge for the oppressed, a desirable acquisition for giving strength to crumbling thrones. Soon the great tide of humanity began to drift once more and the American shores were occupied by the colonists Their numbers increased so rapidly that soon the country beyond the seas became land of promise for all the world.
 But the spirit of unrest was in the set tiers, and they were constantly pushing out into the forests that shut off the con- tinent to the west. When the dark and bloody ground of Kentucky w-s reached men thought that they had penetrated far into the western country, but they little dreamed of the vastness of their new possessions.
 Time speeds by and soon we can see the slow moving wagons of the pioneers vending their way across the prairies while their barges creep slowly up the tributaries of the Mississippi At that
