WHAT is THE OBJECT OF A BOYS
SCHOOLlNOr

| Is it supplied for purely deco rative
purposes? Is it obtained as ali APP
proved method for providing intellect
ual gymnastics, that the mental facul-
ties may be sharpened by the exercise
Or is the boy sent to school and then
to college just " for the name of the
thing that he may graduate and
by writing the cabalistic letters A. B.
after his name, become a member Of
that mystic fraternity, which claims
superiority over all who live outside
the charmed circle? Or is the aim of
all schooling or preparation mot cdu-
cation, please, for that is life work,
so said Horace Maun and David Page)
utilitarian in the highest and best
sense? However some may regard
this matter, shall assume that in the
utilitarian idea lies the true concep-
ton of the real object of schooling,
speaking generally-for special stud
les are often pursued simply for ones
pleasure, though even here a useful
purpose is served.
But in the main take it, that the
aim and object Of schooling is to en-
able the boy to develop the faculties
with which he has been especially en-
dowed-and which differentiate him
from every other boy-to the fullest
extent possible, that he may devote
them to the very best purpose
The duty Of the teacher is to stimu-
ate the ambition Of his pupils. In
deed he should never lose sight of this
important end. As the faculties un-
fold and strengthen the youth finds a
constantly increasing pleasure i'll their
exercise. His intellectual horizon
widens and his day dreams began to
foreshadow his future career. II ia q
critical period in his life and it is Of
prime importance, that his aspirations
should be encouraged To teachers
and parents they may seem crude or
even grotesque (odd). But one must
acquire energy before he can utilize
it, and this is the time for growth.
The imagination should be fired with
high hopes aud aims. It is far better
that the ideals should be somewhat
or confused. than that there
should be no ideals The important
thing is that the student should de-
termine to make the most Of himself

The Sultan of Turkey is said to be
a vigorous and omniverous reader. He
keeps, SO the story goes, no less than
fifteen dragoman secretaries constantly
busy translating the best of the
world literature into his own jargon,
in order that he may have plenty OF
reading matter. The translations in
clud not only serious works on his
tory, politics and science, but novels
in every European language. They
are written on large sheets of thick
white giltedged paper, fastened to-
gether with ribbons. The Sultan is
said to have a special weakness for the
reports of famous trials and for novels
in which great crime is the chief
motive

SOLACE FOR RED HAIRED
PEOPLE.

Time was when red hair was re-
garded almost in the light of n de-
formity. To be red headed especially
in the case of a girl, was to be an Oh
ject of pity at the hands of persons
fortunate enough to possess brown,
black. or even corn -colored locks
That time is no more. The fash
ionable shade for hair just at present
is red the redder the better.
Not until this fad become prevalent
did people realize how few red haired
woman there are in the world-that
red haired girls is in fact a positive
rarity. Statistics inform us that only
one women in 40 possesses the orange
tawny locks that are now so greatly
admired.
After all is it not a, matter of in
dividual taste this thing of blonde and
brunette red hair and brown?
Even in the midst of her most unpop-
ular DAYS so far as fashion was con
cerned, the red haired girl found but
little difficulty in capturing congen
ial husband. Not only SO, but most
of them made excellent wives,
There is no record that the propro-
ton of old maids was any greater
among red headed women than among
their brown or black haired sisters.
Men married according to their in
dividual tastes, then rs now and it
II girl was clever and sweet tempered
and fascinating, so that he became
convinced that she would, brighten
his life, he did not hesitate to ask
to marry him, whether her locks were
brown, or yellow, or copper colored.

"FRAUD" IS THE CRY.

There comes a loud cry from q
way down in st. Martin which is
ominious and fearful, and if the
aggrieved parties can prove what
they claim to be able to, it will put
a very disagreeable color on things
political down in that unfortunate
section, which has been torn and
riven by factional differences for
some time. So bitter and extreme
had the feeling become that lines
were strained to the swapping
point. The faction that is in power,
and which controls the party ma
chinery had taken snap judgment
on the other; set day for a pri-
mary regardless of all protests and
appointed commissioners Of their
own way Of thinking. So unjust
and arbitrary was this procedure
that the matter was brought to the
attention of the executive commit
tee Of the State Central Committee.
which promptly overturned every
thing that had been done and
ordered new primary which was
held last Monday.
The contending organizations are
known as the Badon- Liable and the
Rees- Broussard factions. The for
mer are in power in the parish and
are said to have ruled things with
IN iron hand and do not mean to
let go il they can help it. The con-
troversy having been settled by the
committee it was supposed things
would glide along smoothly and
that there would be no trouble. So
when the day for the primary ar
rived all entered II with good faith,
bnt the thing had not been pro.

MEANEST MAN.

1t was Joseph Folk, the young dis
trict attorney of st. Louis county, who
brought the st. Lous boobies to Justice.
Talking one day about boodling and
the meanncsss of it Mr. Folk said to
a reporter:
There is something small and lit
tie about robbing taxpayers, robbing
widows and orphans and all manner
Of poor folk He is a man who com
mits this crime-as mean rs one
saw once on Mississippi steamer.
And he was strangely mean, that
chap He was travelling with his
daughter, little girl Of 3 or e. He
was holding her over the rail, so
that she could see monster catfish,
when, somehow he let her go and she
fell into the deep stream with splash
"A deckhand was after her in an
instant Reinforcement he shot in,
and she was back in her fathers arms
again before three minutes had
passed.
1.-THE father was profoundly CRATE
full to the deck hand. He pulled ont
n dollar bill.
Got any changer he said.
1.-THE man had none, so the father
went bustling nervously here and there
over the boat, waving his dollar bill
saying:
. Got any change? Got any change.
Who's got change for dollar?
Here's n man has was just saved my
daughters life, and want to give
him a quarter. Got any change
there?' New York Times.
Speaking Of mean men, we knew n
man in New Orleans who lost pack
age containing $l3, 900, boy found it
and returned it. the man with many
thanks gave the boy one dollar.
We knew man in West Feliciana
who had his own mothers tombstone
cut up and made steps for his door, we
have walked over them many times.
Now, this story we do not vouch
for, but it may be true. A man was
drowned, his body was recovered five
days later. When taken out of the
water a half dozen cells came out of
it. A messenger was dispatched to
ask the wife what disposition she
wished made of the body. Her reply
was, send her the cells, and set him
again.

THE FIRST CAMPAIGN BUTTON.

Although the next presidential
contest is more than year ahead
of us, the first campaign button is
now on in evidence, and from all
accounts it is of unique design.
1t represents President Roosevelt
and Booker 7. Washington, the
negro principal of the Tnskegee
Institute, enjoying a luncheon to-
gelher. Across the face of the
button is the single word, equal
ity," in bold letters, and this is
its most striking characteristic. 1t is
said that there is no difficulty in dis
tinguishing Roosevelt from Booker
Washington, not that the formor
wears a wild, wide hat, or carries
rife under his arm, but from the
fact that he is short, round and
very fat, while Booker Washing
ton is somewhat thin and angular,
with ght-fitting hair.
The campaign button, it is said,
was designed by one Charles IL.
Thomas, of Chicago, and that
thousands of negroes in the Windy
City are wearing them proudly.
There is much reason to believe
that the button will yield Thomas
q handsome fortune long before
the active work of the presidential
campaign begins. There are some
seven or eight millions of negroes
in this country, and with a few
rare exceptions they yearn for the
equality which the button so
elequsntly suggests, and unless we
are very much mistaken the fac
tory making the picturesque badge
will soon be working overtime, be-
cause every colored Republican who
is able to earn, borrow, beg or
steal % cents will purchase one
Of them. Hence it will not
be many days before an illustra-
ton Of "the black incident in the
White House" will shine forth |
from the coat lapel of every dusky
patriot in the land.
It is rather unfortunate for the
shrewd and thrifty Thomas, how
ever, that the best accounts
agree that pressing demand
for the buttons has not yet
been noted among white Re-
publicans, but on the contrary,
these Republicans have not yet
been deeply impressed by the idea
of Equality" and mixed lunch
cons. They are permitting the
colored man and brother to monop-
olize the campaign badge and whoop
it up for Roosevelt for all he is
worth. o. States.

NEW YORK BABIES.

New york, Sept. 24.-There is
CONSERVATION among the members
of the board of education over the
apportioning report OF Commls-
sioner Of Education Haupt, that
the average rate of increase IN the
number of babies in Manhattan
has grown from ) TO II an hour,
or about one baby every five min
utter.
Those figures were furnished 10y
Dr. Haupt as the result of an in
vestigation which the board OF edu-
cation is carrying on to 1nd out
what preparation it must make to
provide room which the babies OF
the present will need as the public
of few years hence.
DR.. Haupt also states that he
finds that the death rate Tor chllu-
rem is falling from one-third to
one-tenth owing to measures for
protecting babies from impure milk
and unsanitary arrangements. He
believes that in the main the in
crease is caused by the tremendous
immigration to New York city.
DR.. Haupt reports that babies
are born at the rate of one every
four minutes in the neighborhood
Of Houston street, and about one a
mouth in the Murray Hill residence
