schooL ADMINISTRATION.

7 NDER THE TITLE Principles Of
y Municipal School Administration.
William II. Durham has an admir-
able article in the Atlantic Monthly for
July. Mr.. Busnham covers his ground
very thoroughly. explaining in detail
his ideas of the things that should
enter into the ideal system Of school
administration. Among other things
he says:
"A school system should be free from
artificial limitations. There should be,
for example. no distinctions as regards
sex in school matters. Any
distinction with regard to sex or race
or religion is an artificial limitation.
The city or township is the natural
political unit; the ward is an artificial
unit. Men living in one ward are very
apt to do business in another; they
often have more acquaintance in some
other ward than in their own. They
may be much nearer the schools of an
other ward than to those in their own:
end. as the division is an artificial di-
vision, any ward system of election is
ar artificial limitation.
Continuing, Mr.. Burnham empha-
sizes the necessity for keeping the
schools out Of politics. religion and
other differences likely to work in
furious effects upon them. He thinks
the schools should be absolutely indie
pendent of the city government, or as
nearly independent as it is possible to
make them. Mr.. Burnham favors
smaller boards. so as to center the re
spOnsibility, although he would not
have the boards too small to represent
the different classes of patrons.
The article contains an interesting
explanation of the school system OF
Cleveland, o.. which has been in sue
cessfuI operation. under a special law
school board is entirely independent Of
the council. There is a special school
council of seven persons. its members
corresponding to members of boards
of education in other cities. This coun-
ell levies school taxes, eXpends money,
establishes new schools. approves con-
tracts and does such other business as
is necessary.
The executive head of the system is
the school director, who receives s., 900
a year for his services. He executes
the laws framed by the school council
He appoints a superintendent of schools
when a vacancy exists and has the
power Of removal for cause. He also
has power to veto such resolutions OF
the school council as he thinks i'm
proper or unlawful. The system has
given entire satisfaction 10 all the
patrons Of the Cleveland schools, and
it might be copied. in its important
details. by other cities

AN AaTI-mosoulTo CAMPAIGN.

= 0 GENERALLY RECOGNIZED is
- the theory that mosquitoes are
often responsible for the spread of dis
ease Of various kinds that the theory
has come to be accepted as a fact. The
growth of the principle is illustrated by
the announcement that several Ameri-
can cities are considering ways and
means for DISCRIMINATING the little pest.
The Municipal Journal and Engineer
reports that ever since the spring of
1901 Councilman Brown of Baltimore
has been endeavOring to secure the pas
sage of a resolution appropriating S15.-
600 to be used in war on the mos
quito. 1t is thought that this year he

laria and kindred maladies was album
dainty demonstrated during the course
Of the experiments conducted by the
American authorities in Havana prior
TO the evacuation of Cuba. Since then
experiments have been made in this
country with the result that when the
mosquitoes have been exterminated in
a given locality malarial diseases have
practically disappeared.
The anti-mosquito campaign is not.
necessarily expensive or difficult It
consists mainly in draining such
marshy places and stagnant ponds and
pools as can be drained and in cover
ing the rest with a coating of ordinary
kerosene. Every dweller, either in the
city or the country, can at little ex-
pense and trouble absolutely rid his
place of mosquitoes. Care is required
in searching out the breeding places.
for a pool Of water no bigger than a
dinner plate may produce thousands of
the pests.
However, 81 every such pool is To-
Gated and drained or oiled, the rest is
easy. Even if mosquitoes did not dis
seminate disease they should be exter-
minated because there are few pests
more annoying. In their season they
make life a burden for the afflicted.
Nothing is much more exasperating
than the whining song of the mosquito
in the still watches of the night: few
things are more uncomfortable than a
lawn party, for instance, where mos
quitOes abound.
And when the mosquito shall have
been driven from the face of the earth
the scientists might turn their atten-
ton to the ordinary house fly. Here is
another pest that is in immediate need
OF determination. The house fly may
not seem to be as busy as the mos
quito: Il doesn't make 50 much noise
and it certainly does go to sleep at
night. But the house fly has been
proven TO be a disease distributor sec
ond only to the mosquito.
When the world is rid of both in
sects all the inhabitants thereof will
get a great deal more enjoyment out
of life.

ROBBERY BY TARIFF.


4 n INSTANCE of tariff robbery is
Il found by the statistician of the
Louisville CKy.) Courier-JournaI in the
hat trust. Of which the John B. stet-
son company OF Philadelphia is the
chief member. Hats are protected by
the tariff to such an extent that a hat

tails for SO in Canada. just across the
line. The effect of the tariff on this
infant Industry is found in the
dividend statement Of the Stetson com
pEny. as follows:
Dividends upon the common stock
have been paid annually on Jan. 10 as
follows: In 1891 for six months AZ per
cent; 6 per cent for 1892 and 1898; per
cent in 1894, 1895 and 1886; . per cent in
1897; 6 per cent in 1898; u per cent in
1899; 10 per cent for 1900. and i per
cent for 1901 and 1902. with extra divi-
dends Of u per cent at the end Of the
year. AS the midsummer dividend this
year is twice what il was in 1902. the
rate for the year appears to be 8 per
cent on the S1,5O0,000 of the preferred
and p per cent on the $4,000. 600 Of
common total dividend payment OF
$3.50. 600. In addition. the company re-
ported a surplus on Nov. 30, 1902, of
d.264970."
The steel trust is a notable example
Of the benefits which accrue to in
Biders from the robber tariff, but the
steel trusts profits therefrom are pro-
portiOnately much smaller than the
profits OF the hat trust. All Of us do
not need steel rails or armor plate or

man in the country must wear a hat

A GREATER NAVY.

THE HERALD has received a copy
Of the first number of the Navy
League Journal, publication which is
devoted to the up5uilding of the navy,
as it's name would indicate. The Jour
nal has great mission. The need for
a greater navy has become generally
recognized in this country The United
States cannot longer afford to be classed
as a third or fourth rate naval power.
With its great coast line, the posi-
bilities of trouble with the European
powers over the Monroe doctrine, its
far-away possessions, the sentiment in
favor of a powerful navy is growing
constantly. On this point the Journal
says;
The safety Of our magnificent trade
with foreign countries, the security of
our island territory in distant seas. and
the continued integrity Of all the Amer
lean republics, as guaranteed by the
Monroe doctrine, mean that the United
states must have a navy powerful
enough to safeguard these colossal in
terests against aggression from any
part OF the world. To advocate and
q
the sole aim of the navy league. To
further the efforts of the navy league
in that righteous enterprise is the one
mission Of the Navy League Jour
nal. An urgent invitation to join in
this movement is extended to every
American who is resolved that the ma
tional honor shall be protected. and
that preparedness for war is the strong
est guaranty of peace"
There never was a truer saying than
that preparedness for war is the
strongest guaranty Of peace" OppO-
nents Of a great navy for the United
States have said that it might prove a
temptation to those in power to op-
press the weak. TO engage in war on
any pretext and on no pretext In
other words, that the nation would pre-
sent the spectacle Of a man with re-
volver in his pocket going around hunt
ing for trouble.
The parallel is hardly a fair one. Ma
tiOns cannot be considered on the same
plane as individuals. The nation is the
concrete Individual, the individual is
merely the individual, responsible only
40 himself ana 10 the law lor MS
actions. The nation has. not only other
nations. but its own people to reckon
with. 1t is absurd 10 believe that be-
cause this country has the fighting ma
chimes it will place a chip on its shout
der and invite some power to knock it
of.
The surest way to preserve peace,
and this is a peace-loving country. is to
let the other fellow know we are ready
for him. More than the mere preserva-
ton of peace is involved as well. A
great navy means increased respect for
the United States throughout the
worid. 1t means that our flag will be-
come known and respected where now
st is unknown or treated only with
contempt.
Critics have said it would be impos-
sible to find the men with which to man
a greater navy. Well, the nation has
never yet lacked for men when it
needed them and it win not lack them
now. The men and the officers will be
ready when the ships are ready. Of
that there is no occasion for the slight
est doubt.

ROBBERS KILL TWO men
UP RESTAURANT. d
Shooting Commenced When One of
Guests Hesitates About Getting
His Hands AIoft.

Pueblo, Colo, March ia daring
attempt at robbery and brutal tragedy
in a fashionable restaurant created in
tense excitement early this evening.
The robbers, two in number, and both
small men, wore black masks. The
first entered the back door of Loe-
stus' fine cafe opposite the opera
house, advanced half the length of
the long room and then went back.
Presently they re-entered by the
front door. One went to the cashiers
desk, the other attempting to rob the
guests at the tables. He held a r e
volver toward Doctor j. H. Turner,
who was eating his supper, and told
him to throw up his hands, The doc
tor was surprised and h%esitated,
whereupon the robber fired full in
his face, killing the doctor instantly
and scattering his blood and brains all
over the corner of the cafe. Then the
desperate attacked another guest, G.
B. Bishop, and shot him in the left
side. Without securing any booty the
rufians fled.
Bishop was taken to the hospital
and is in a critical condition. He
came recently from Sugar City, where
his brother lives. Doctor Turner was
about 80 years old and from Iowa. He
was a graduate of Princeton and OF
Rush and had been here two years.
The robbers in their escape were
! fired at by a policeman and his bullet
perforated a plate glass; but this far
there is no cleW.

HERB DOCTOR is ARRESTED
SUSPECTED OF POISONING HIS
PATIENTS.
Many Mysterious Deaths Are Charged
to Use of Colored Mans A. Ia
! legged Remedies.

Philadelphia, March 15.-The police
for several days have been Investigate
ing the career of George Hossey, the
negro "herb DOCTOR who was yester-
day committed to prison with Mrs.
Catherine Dame, on the charge Of
causing the death of the woman's hus-
band Is months ago by poison.
Mrs. Dame is said to be only one of
a host of women whose object in con-
sulting the doctor was not legiti-
mate.
The authorities say they hope to
trace a number of deaths to Hossey's
potions. One official said today: "We
are only beginning to uncover this
case. 1t may prove one of the great
est criminal events in the history of
the department"
Hossey is the archconspirator in
many crimes, the authorities say.
They have learned that for many
months past his headquarters have
been patronized by many women,
both married and single, whose names
are now in the possession of the dis
trict attorney. Hossey's Office and
house were searched and the officers
confscated a wagon load of bottled
drugs, instruments and other para
%phernalia, mach of which will figure
in the case
The district attorney and police
| state that more arrests may be expect
ed soon. The memorandum found
il Hossey's house, it is believed, will
show many cases of murder.
The district attorney said: "The
case is far from complete at present
More arrests will follow"
Physicians in all sections of the
city have reported cases to the dis
trict attorney that will probably lead
to the opening of many graves and the
holding of as many inquests by the
coroner. In each of these cases the
patient first appeared with a minor
complaint which grew worse and
which, just before death, manifested
what are now recalled as the usual
symptoms of arsenical poisoning.
Seven of these practitioners were
closeted with District Attorney Schor

time they went owe their office rec
