full in the skirts. The collar and lapels
are fairly broad ct is well to have a tab
under the left lapel and a button under

the front, two on the sleeve and two at the
top Of the tails behind are covered with
the coat material. The breast pocket Is set
to follow the line of the edge of the lapel
and the large flap side pockets are set
diagonally and fairly low In the skirts.
The waist seam is welted or strapped and
there are two lines Of stitching around
cuffs OF the sleeves, but the other seams
are simple and the edges are simply double
stitched. It will be noticed that the open
ing at the neck is low enough to show an
edging Of the plaid flannel waistcoat worn
underneath between the lapels and the
stock.
The breaches should be Of the same ma

I cannot express heartiest appreciation
of the work in United States history. Even
the supply Of books containing inspira
tional stories Of history seems small in the
lower grades. I do not see the value of
injecting English history in the seventh
grade A few pages Of English history
read by pupils to the class daily, might
yield returns, but the study, as pursued,
seems to prevent proper consideration Of
United States history. The facts of
United States history are neglected. I
could not get hold Of a lesson to repre-
sent the way facts are impressed and
learned except the written lessons by sub
jects, and these are so general that they
are comparatively valueless as means to
impress even a, few Of the many important
unquestioned facts that should be learned.
Here is a good history language lesson,
1mpromptu, written In fifteen minutes In
the eighth grade:
OREGON TERRITORY. Il
The Oregon territory is located In the north
western corner of the United States.
| The United States based her claims on: EARLY
exploring of Lewis and Clark. Right of settle
| ment. Spanish cession and Englands claims
were similar.
England claimed as far down as the Columbia
river and the United States claimed and said
|. it was 81 degrees 40 minutes. s7z.
The land i'll dispute was between the Columbia
river and, $40. 81.
:
United States and England decided to hold joint
occupation of this territory.
Here is another in the same grade at the
| same time and impromptu:

Here is regular topic lesson,

men got their: gold in Mexico and Peru. Then
when the gold was gone they lived so grandls

Indians but they did not make the Indians bet

A high official of one of the Boston roads
who has been in the service thirty years,
says traffic conditions at present are the
best he has ever known at this season of
the year. Both through and local business
Is exceptionally heavy, and much of the
former has been delayed by the severe con-
eestion of traffic to which Western roads
have been subjected. Grain shipments are
beginning TO arrive from the West and
are abnormally heavy. He makes complaint
as 10 rates. he says with the increased
cost or labor and material that has come
ABOUT during the past few months and the
increasing demand upon equipment for all
railroads, II is manifestly inevitable that
rates for transportation must be advanced
inns Is true In the East as we'll as in the
West. He says he looks forward to the
biggest railroad year in 1903, in the matter
OF traffic revenues, we'll as in new con-
that the country has ever known and New
England roads will get a big slice of this
betterment. The Boston q Albany, coming
into control of the New York Central has
given new life to the former road and
millions of dollars will be expended in inn
proving its roadbed, getting rid of the
heavy grades, eliminating curves and pur-
chasing new equipment. The Boston &
Maine, which controls the Fitchburg road
is making a move in the same direction ii
being the intention of both these powerful
corporations TO bring New England roads
and their equipment up to the grade of the
trunk lines and Central Passenger Associa-
ton.

Free SchOOlbOOks

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Journal. usually right, is on the
wrong side of the free schoolbook propo-
sition. Your arguments against it are:
First. it is socialistic in its tendency;
second. it would increase the burden of the
taxpayer The first is hardly worth consid-
Grafton. We should not refuse anything
in itself good simply because it is favored
by some who are not in our party The
question should be considered solely on it's
merits. There is more socialism in the
State or city furnishing the textbooks.
which are necessary part of the equip
ment of the school, than in furnishing the
maps. blackboards, chalk. paper, pencils,
pens, ink and other necessary articles fur
nished without question. Free schoolbooks
are no more socialistic that free books in
the public library. Nor is the proposition
nearly as socialistic as the excellent edi-
torial suggestion in the Journal recently
that the State ought to own the coal lands
1t certainly needs no argument to show
that the aggregate expenses of books fur
nished by the State Cor city,, is less than if
the books are purchased by the individual
patrons of the schools. The same book
rarely serves for two members of the same
family, owing TO the frequent changes
necessary to keep the textbooks up to date.
When furnished by the school, as part of
its equipment, a book is used as long as il
is in a fit condition for use (as with a book
in the public h,rary), and thus serves for
three or more pupils instead of one. This
saving to the community, together with the
further saving effected by purchase at
wholesale. will help pay for the new build
ings needed.
But, you argue. the burden would fall on
the taxpayer. Very true The taxpayer
who has children in school will be no worse
off than now. The nontaxpayer with chill
dren will have chance to accumulate
something TO pay taxes on; and the tax
trifie more than he does now TO the educa-
ton of all the children in the community
That is no worse than paying taxes TO
support city library which he never en-
cipally 10y nontaxpayers.
The possibility of jobbery has no bearing
on the question. There are jobs i'm most
public works, but that is no reason why
ment buildings. paved streets and city
parks should be abandoned.
The city of Buffalo. whose schools are not
excelled by any in the country furnishes
free TO every pupil every equipment needed
including textbooks. In four years resi-
dence In that city never heard of a com
plant concerning the system from any
source. The heaviest taxpayers and citi-
zens generally oppose any change in the
present efficient nonpartiSan management
of the schools. I doubt IL there is a man.
woman or child In that city who would vote
TO return 10 the old wasteful system of in
dividuai ownership OF textbooks AS a
patron OF the schools and one OF those
small taxpayers of limited means that Won

with delight the adoption in Indiana of the
system that has 20 my personal knowledge

GrOcers Especially Benefited
Grain Markets I'm Good Tone.

Trade during the week ending Jan. IL
was very satisfactory for so early in the
year. The milder weather gave the COM
mission houses an opportunity to ship per-
ishable freight, which was well improved,
and seldom are there four days in which
more goods of this character are shipped
than in the week just closed The produce
men also had a good week. The firm tone
in poultry, eggs and butter continues, and
is something of a surprise, as the produce
merchants had looked for decline In prices
after the holidays. Cheese is very frm ana
in light supply. Wholesale grocers had
remarkably good week. retail merchants
having their bills well out of the way,
stocking up quite literally. With the dry
goods houses there is little new to note.
They have stock taking time over with. and
next week will begin to push business.
Leather dealers report trade good, with
tendency to advance in prices. This has
been expected for some weeks and now
seems more imminent, il is said. Iron and
steel merchants are having fine run or
winter trade. AS for many months past,
the volume of business has been surprise,
and prices have ranged high and ruled
steady. Dealers in flour and cerealine prod
ucts report business excellent. Prices on
flour are firm but on other products there
is tendency to lower figures.

Freight traffic last week was disappoint-
ing in its volume. as officials had hoped to

regular business more satisfactorily to
shippers than has been the case of late, but
weather conditions acted as a barrier upon
business in the early part of the week,
while in the latter part the temperature be-
came so mild that shipments of perishable
freights, both local and through, set in
heavily, cutting down the movement of
congested business. Consequently not in
many months past has there been fewer
loaded cars handled by Indianapolis lines
The Big -Four lines handled at this point
z.46i fewer loaded cars than in the corre-
spending week of 1902: the Pennsylvania.

in fact, but two roads show any increase
over the same week last year. There was
falling off in through west-bound freights,
and east bound the movement was lighter

unable TO fill orders given months ago be-
