HIS IDEA OF CHILDREN.
Chicago Unfversity Professor De-

Three notable addresses were deliv-
cred before the Illinois Federation o.
Women's Clubs at Cairo. ILL.,. the other
day. Wilbur s. Jackman, dean of the
school Of education OF Chicago univer
sity, discussed the Ideal School" He
criticised the bare. ugly schOolrooms
that stand out I'm marked contrast to
our modern churches, clubrooms. lodge
halls and public buildings and the poor
ventila ton In the schools. Referring
TO the subject OF race suicide, he said:
1.-The ideal school will be somewhat
expensive, but you must afford the
money o. you must not have the chill
dren. The highest evolution is In quail
ity, not quantity. | am not particularly
disturbed by the hysteria OF our siren
uous friends regarding race suicide. In
the course of evolution | believe that
the race has passed through and be-
yond the stage OF the rabbit and the
rat. / am reminded of the fable of the
owl and the eagle. The former up

young ones while she herself had four

A HEART TO HEART TALK.
BY QUIERPoNr GORGoS.

Dear Little Boys and Girls-There
ISN'T anything | would rather do than
talk 10 you except lending money to
the government at ten million profit
Or reorganiZing a railroad.
Because, you see. | love little children
and want them all TO grow mp like me
and have enough money 10 make an
Episcopal bishop or new senator or
possibly even new president.
Remember. children. If you can't be
president yourself you can be the next
best thing. which Is Ne.
Now. | wonder If any little boy or
girl can tell me what a syndicate u.s.
Some one has said that a syndicate is
body Of men entirely surrounded by
money; but. my dearies. that isn't the
answer. In reality syndicate is a
body of money entirely surrounded by
men.
Some day. little ones. you may be
are cable me ut my expense, and | will
exchange your stock for bonds.
Both OF us will make money.
The only party that will lose is the
Public
Can any bright little boy tell me
what the Public is? No? Well, the
Public is merely lot of people who
buy worthless stock just to Oblige the
syndicate that wants to sell.
The Public is very tender hearted and
wants all the good syndicates to make
all the money they can. so it helps them
out in this way.
Sometimes the Public Is sorry for
what II has done and sheds bitter tears
But ! am not sorry. are you? Why
should we be when we can make so
much money to give away to the
churches that really need II?
And now. little boys and girls. want
you all TO remember that If you would
be like me you must begin early and
work hard. And not only work your
self hard. but everybody else. That IS
the secret OF success.
And here's little steel plant for each
one of yOu. Put ii in the ground and
some day II may grow up and bear
lovely dividends-tO cut.-Tom Mason

SHIP MAST UNDER ROOF.
Annapolis Students Have Full Spread

Annapolis Students Have Full Spread
of Sails For Indoor Practice.
The unique spectacle Of a full sized
mast, with all the sails, yards, blocks
and ropes exactly as on q full rugged
ship, within four walls and under a
roof is now to be seen at the new
boathouse at the Naval academy in
Annapolis.
1t is stated by those at the Naval
academy who have studied the subject
that it is the only one Of the kind in
the world. There is large mast used
for purposes Of instruction In Ger
many, but it is out of doors, and there
is a small mast in a building at New
port, but 1t is not nearly the size Of
the one at Annapolis.
The mast which has been erected in
the boathouse is seventy-two feet in
height and is exactly like in every
way the miZzenmast Of the United
States steamship Chesapeake, which
was especially constructed for the prac-
tice work Of the midshipmen.

Winning of q Marlborough Geek.
The persistence of some painters is
proved by a story that is going the
rounds of the London studios, says the
New York Press. A young artist, poor
and unknown, boosted in a crowd Of
his fellows that he would paint the
portrait of one OF the twelve leading
women In London within year. There
were many takers Of the bet. The art
list took the next train for Blenheim
palace. where the young Duchess Of
Marlborough was staying. Note after
note was sent to her. but the artist re-
ceived no reply. One day he breed the
gardener with a couple Of shillings to
let him enter by a hedge. When be was

Cotton in Cuba Unpromising.

Some time since The Constitution
devoted an editorial of some length
to the possibilities of Cuban rivalry
OF the southern states in cotton pro-
duction, particularly in the raising of
sea island or long staple cotton.
From the information then at hand it
seemed very probable that the island
was on the eve of a phenomenal cot
ton culture boom. 1t now appears
that if those Americans who were
sending out such seductive data and
prophecies concerning cotton growing
in Cuba were not merely enthusiasts
they were likely land syndicate pro
motors or "cappers.'
i. A. Schwartz, custodian Of coleop-
terra in the National museum, has
Just returned to Washington from
thorough tour of Cuba. the object of
which was to inspect the ravage Of
the boil weevil in the cotton on the
island. The report he brings back is
highly discOuraging to the future Of
the lle0 ~ staple in Cuba. The trOu-
BILE, according to Nh Schwartz. does
not lie in the adoption of the soil and
climate OF the island to cotton as
staple crop, but in the remarkable
prevalence of the boil weevil and 9th
er insect pests fatal to cotton produC
ton. Some Of these destructive in
sects are OF a species entirely unfa.
miliar TO American cotton planters,
and indeed, to American entomolo-
gist-.
In The Washington Times Mr..
Schwartz presents an interesting re-
sumo of his Cuban observations. He
tells us that kidney cotton" the ma
tive wild cotton Of the island which
flourisnes luXuriantly and with age
forms veritable trees, has afforded food
and breeding place for boil weevil
and .lndred insect pests since time
immemorial, and that hitherto the
successful cultivation of commercial
cotton has been out of the question by
reason of this unfortunate condition.
These swarming insects must be eX-
terminated before cultivated cotton

Encroachment of the Fair.

There are few occupations now
left to the monopoly OF the male sex,
and those which are left are going
glmmering. Even that traveSty on
Mercury OF the winged heels--the un-
speakable messenger boy, is daily
finding himself in Ottelos predica-
ment by reason Of the fair sexs usur
patton. 1t is said the experience of the
Chicago messenger service company
which placed girls in the places of the
striking boys was that the girls were
in many respects much the better
messengers.
In London the same experiment is
being mace by Reuters, that we'll
known corporation doing large bus
mess in individual and commercial
messages transmitted chiefly through
its code. The London messenger girls
are nattily uniformed and receive
two shillings more per week than was
given the boys for the same service.
Their ages average fifteen years. The
change was made because the boys
there. as in America, stood as syn
onym for slowness and unreliability.
The manager despaired OF managing
them in a way to give their Gus
toners anything approXimating de-
cent service. With the girls it is diff
ferent. The managers report them to
be amenable TO discipline, intelligent
in the following of directions, swift
of foot and thoroughly trustworthy.
AS vet these female messengers are
used entirely III the daytime, and on
routes which will confine them to GER
tain sections OF the great city. In this
respect the corporation admits de-
gree of moral responsibility.
A contemporary states that the
District Messenger Company, like
wise of London, employs girls to run
errands. though they are hired only
by the day and not carried on the
regular force Girls are also employ
ed in carrying messages from some
of the country postoffices. and at
several of the seaside offices during
the season girls are employed almost
exclusively most of them being fur
nished with bicycles for their work.
While not questioning the capa-
bility of young women to fill this spe-
cies of employment, the pity is that
necessities of bread winning should
force them into any kind of employ
ment that throws them in constant
contact with men and with the I'M
favorable conditions of commercial
ism The line should be drawn some
