We publish in to-days issue a circular
letter which has recently been sent by
the Secretary Of Agriculture and Dairy

A frm in the city that makes q spec
cialty of stocking small, stores claim To
be fitting out q number of the strikers
with general stocks, and shipping
many such stocks for them to country
towns. The values Of the stocks vary
from $50 up to $500. The same concern
IS authority for the statement that the
sons of toll from the city who invade
the commercial world in the smaller
towns seldom make failure of their
enterprises
Others of the strikers are, and have
been for number OF weeks, leaving
the city. Many of them are so nearly
destitute that railroad fare is out os
the question, and whole families are
forced to walk. 1t is safe estimate to
say that not less than 5000 people have
left the city in this way within the past
month. They are looking for work on
the farms and in the villages where the
cost Of living is small by comparison
with what it is in the city. Several
hundred of them struck for the har-
vest fields of the northwestern states
and the Canadian territories. They say
they cannot be worse off than they are
by staying in the city, and the change
may be for the better.
Others of those with small capital
to invest are seeking the country tc
either buy small farms or take up gov
eminent claims and many of this class
have gone into the Canadian northwest
for the latter purpose.
Altogether, but little more than half
of the men who struck at the yards a
few weeks ago are now to be found
in the city. They are scattered to all
parts of the world, for a number Of
them returned to different countries of
Europe

Empty School Seats.

Not for years has there been such a
demand from parents for permits for
their children TO work instead of being
forced to attend school as at the be-
ginning of the present term. Weeping
mothers have assured the officials that
nothing but the boys wages stood be-
.ween the family and starvation. In
yestigation has proved the truth of
shese statements, and conditions have
.orced the issuing of an unusual num-
Der of permits for children to work.
These conditions have left many a
vacant desk in the poorer districts of
The city, and falling off in the birth
rate is causing empty schoolrooms in
the rich residence sections Mayor
HarriSon's ward is an instance of the
latter cause Of empty seats. With a
steadily growing population there are
Today a less number of children of
school age in the ward than there were
two years ago. In aristocratic Ken
wood, where the school seating ca
pacity has been greatly increased, the
percentage of children has remained al
most stationary, and in several other
>ections Of the city race suicide is
very much in evidence.
In the poorer sections of the city it
IS such things as the stock yards strike
and the closing down of factories that
are sending the children away from the
schoolrooms TO the stores and Offices
and onto the streets At the opening
Of. school one year ago cash girls for
The stores were at premium Six,
seven, eight and even nine dollars a
week were not unusual wages for a
bright boy of IA, armed with a permits
sion TO work from the school authori-
lies. To-day the price of Office boys
has been cut in half, and the number
far exceeds the demand. In time Of
industrial stress it is the boys and girls
who must keep the wolf from the doors
of the ghetto districts. and it is at such
times that the schoolrooms are depop-
ulated

An Honorable Retreat.

Mention of Bismarck recalls a story
he used to tell of an incident which
his grandfather witnessed when serv-
ing under Frederick the Great. 1t af-
fords good reading in the present time
in view of mistakes and rumors of
mistakes, degradations, and equivocal
promotions. CT which tales come
through from St Petersburg. During
some maneuvers an ensign made a
mistake. and the old king. in a flaming
passion, pursued him with stick, in
tending TO publicly clIastise him. The
ensign lit out for all he was worth and
nimbly leaped a ditch which the king
could not negotiate, but was left FUN
ing on the wrong side. Later the col
cnel Of the regiment reported to the
king that the ensign had rendered. his
resignation. Il am sorry, sire. for he
is really fine soldier" said the COL
onel. Send him TO me- replied Fred
erick. The ensign came in. expecting
to be beaten or perhaps sent to prison.
Here. sir, is your captaincy," said the
king. Il meant to Sive it you this
morning, but you ran so ID hard I
could not catch you. st James Ca

PLENTY OF OFFICE BOYS
Forced from the School Rooms by
Need Of Food-The Exodus from
the City-Start of Small
Merchants.

Chicago.-FTom the pleasure of labor
lay frolics to the schoolroom was the
experience of some 800, 900 Chicago
youngsters. They started into not only
L new year of study, but new method
Of study as well.
The course of study that has been in
vogue in Chicago'S schools up to the
opening of the present term was adopt
ed seven years ago. During that seven
years the whole system has been at
,acked time and again as being sense
less TO large extent, and many par
ents have signed for the return of the
Did days of the orthodox three RS. The
work of revising the school study sys-
tenn has been in progress for the last
Two years, and the educational author
tiles believe it is now as near perfectly
adapted to modern requirements as it
possible to get
Under the system now in vogue the
pupil will not only learn that three feet
make one yard, but with the aid of a
rule will learn just how long three
feet are. That is the spirit of the new
educational system, and it will be car
lied through the greater number of
studies. Drawing is given more impor-
.ance, SO that the pupils may make de-
signs of what they are studying about.
Nature study occupies an important
place, but it differs in the different
schools of the city, according to the
material at hand.
More attention than ever is being
paid to the study of the English Ian
guage, and it is in this that the new
system shows the most pronounced
change from the old. Instead of an
alyzing sentences from a grammar the
pupil is now taught to write sentences
Of his own. From the lowest grades
the little tots must write letters to each
other that they may in this way be-
come familiar with the use of correct
English. Chicago teachers are expect
ing excellent results from the new sys-
tenn.

Invade Peddlers Ranks.

Yet another element of the strikers
have turned to the avocation of the
pedler as means of making a living,
and of these a part remain in the city
and part invade the country, supplied
from house to house or sold from a
tray upon the street corners.
The necessity of earning a living
have led some of them into odd lines.
One who calls at my home two or three
times week now is selling dressed
chickens, and pushes the fowls as a
substitute for the prescribed beef
steaks. He was more fortunate than
many of his fellows, for he had a cot
tage and small yard back of the stock
yards, in which he had been raising
chickens, and is but selling off his own
stock. He insists that he proposes to
remain in the business, as he has found
it more lucrative than work in the
yards.
Another that | know Of attempted to
invade the field of selling vegetables,
but was driven out of the lucrative ter
ritory by the Greeks, who virtually
have a monopoly in that line, and
divide the territory among a recognized
few. These few find many ways in
which to discourage competition. From
vegetables he went to fruit, but in this
he found the Italians as closely banded
together as the Greeks had been in
the line of vegetables. He is now SELL
ing popcorn at school house corner
and advertising his wares as a good
substitute for beef.
One entire family, consisting OF the
father, mother and five children, are
scattered over the city selling shoe
