THE SCHOOL QUESTION
Our Newport Correspondent Digs
Up All Right.

Special to The Sentinel.
Newport, La. June 30.-Fight-
ing and discord seems to be the
order of the day all over the
country. we hear of it from
every quarter. We have had no
fighting. here as yet, but it Is ex-
pected soon. Have the people all
gone crazy. or what is the matter
with them?
More than half the schools of
the country are in a muddle,
the people all seem to want a
public school at their door.
There is a strong effort being
made to tear up the Myers school
and also the Hebron school, all
because they say their children
can't walk three miles to school.
Some Of the men who are trying
to tear up the Hebron school
walked five miles to school and |
dare say their teacher could not
get third grade certificate Gas
the requirements are to-day. be-
sides they only had two-months
public school in two years. But
now since the country is building
| up and there is money enough to
have three-months term with Q
first grade teacher they want to
tear it up and make two schools
of one month each, resulting in
benefit to no one.
I can't see but one solution of
this school mnddle, and that is
for the school board to locate one
school in the center of each
township and require every per.
| son in the township to attend
that school. Let me hear from

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

A beef and provision company ha
been formed in Jersey City to fight
the beef trust, rather hazardous
undertaking. 1t is to be conducted
along cooperative lines, it is said,
and the projectors are banking for
success on the prospective saving in
handling. 1t deserves to succeed, but
the moment it demonstrates it may
become rival Of the beef trust, the
latter will pick up the glove and enter
into such competition as will be apt
to drive the new corporation into
quick liquidation. Camden Courier.
Anyone who leaves Passaic during
such weather as this must be daft on
the summer outing question. 1t is
sometimes necessary to leave the COM
forts of home to get weather comforts.
But when both can be had together,
what is the use of going away. =

Instinct in Birds.

A flock of English sparrows disap-
peared for day or two while spar
row hawk frequented a tree near a
correspondents house, but they
showed no fear of crows thereabouts,
and they fraternize with robins.
"How do they know their enemy?" the
correspondent asks. For countless
generations their progepitors knew
the sparrow hawk of Europe as foe,
and were on friendly familiarity with
crows, even occupying old nests of
these sable birds.
But a new experience would be suffi-
cient. Animals quickly form associa-
tions and these are transmitted as in
stincts. A few years ago the Revue
Scientifique gave an instance of the
formation of an instinct" A flock of
geese were badly frightened by curl
Gus dog, while entering their night in
closure at twilight. Ever after those
reese and their descendants exhibited
the same fright at the same place and
hour, though the dog attack was never
repeated. Quick and lasting associa-
tions, far surprising those of man and
better than reason for animals, are the
wonderful endowment often mistaken
for animal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In

contract for laying the concrete side
walk around the court house. There
were five bidders for the work and in
spite of the fact that Henry r. Fell,
of Trenton, was the lowest, his figures
being 1878. 80, the work was given to
Robert Wilson, of New York, for 5000.
The "Times" tells of the excellent
reputation of Mr.. Fell and continues
"Tne county is the loser, and the
people there can scarcely expect reput-
able contractors to waste their time IN
making estimates if they are not to
receive fair treatment. The job is
not large enough to warrant Mr.. Fell
in contesting the award in the courts,
but there ought to be sufficient moral
ity among the people to put an end to
the practices that are making Middle
sex county freeholders notorious both
at home and abroad.

In passing resolution to drive two
more artesian wells at Runyon, last
night, the aldermen took a step that
will please every taxpayer in the city.
The two wells just completed have
flow of about 10000 per day and
with two more driven, the supply, 1T
is said, can be derived directly from
these wells, doing away with the pond
water and thereby eliminating the
color which is now so disagreeable.
The water supply Of any city is the
most important feature to its health
and prosperity and no taxpayer will
object to spending the city's money
to get the best supply possible. These
wells, with the new pipe line COM
pleted, will place Perth Amboy in a
position she has never been before in
this regard and all that remains is to
complete the reservoir to give us all
that can be desired. This is promised
the city within the near future. Such
progress is decidedly gratifying.
