Public schools and Farmers.

MESsRs. EDIToRs In your issue OF
April 2nd You state that it Is mistake TO
have the school year fixed at nine months
as it gives the farmers no certainty for boy
help in fall and spring work.
You are right; but the bill with the
above now seems likely to be come law,
aud Why Simply because, while the
farmers were home doing their spring
blowing, the educators have had time to
crowd into Annapolis from first to last
and prevail upon the farmers representa-
tive to neglect them.
This general school bin also has several
other features which will not be found ac-
ceptable to farmers One is the increase
of school taxes. With the present increase,
and still others in prospect, 1t will certainly
be no free schools that we can boast of
much longer, and a return to the private
school will be in order.
Another feature of the bill which farmers
NAV find Objectionable viii be consolidated
schools. These will no doubt receive a
fresh stimulus from the educators, now that
they are optional with the people of the
different counties.
IF we are to judge by expressions from
farmers of the north and west where these
consolidated schools are in force, We are to
infer that farmers have found them great
nuisanees-albeit the educators boast of
success.
Farmers have to stand the brunt OF every
thing and they have about the least voice
in everything. For instance, the Mary
land Agricultural College has boasted of
its business to the farmers, while we have
lust seen in the Baltimore papers a COM
plete condemnation of that college by
Montgomery county farmer in the person
of Mr.. j. B. Hallowell, of Brookeyille,
that county.
The Brooklyn Sunday Eagle, of March
9th, had long article on schools by
Brooklyn principal, which it requested the
papers in this section to please copy.
1t would take two or three columns OF The
ADVOCATE to contain this article; but
after reading the condemnation of public
schools by college presidents, bankers,
business men, editors, judges, admirals,
ministers and reformers, one might ask
where are the farmers As usual, they
are quietly home plowing, accepting with
out much ado all that the educators, in
their wisdom, cram upon them.
Senator Robinson was the Onl ly man in
the Senate who had the courage to with
stand the educators pressure and vote
against the General Education Bill above
alluded 10. FARM DEFENDER.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Hal Stephens and Harry Linton, two
really funny comedians, and company OF
pretty girls and clever men, will appear at
the Paris Grand on Tuesday, October 4th,
in their famous comedy, 'sMy Wife's
Family" The play was big success
when first produced; in fact, made Stephens
and Linton two of the most prominent
farcical stars in the show business. In
the hands of this company, the play has
been a greater success than their most
ardent admirers predicted They have
surrounded themselves with a capable
company of singers, dancers and comedi-
ans, and the show is one case of iollity
from the raise to the fall of the curtain.
Nothing tiresome-e everything goes with
vim. The songs are all new and the dances
arranged. The women are all
handsomely gowned, the vocalists are
artists, the comedians are funny. The
scenery is all special. In fact, there is
not better opportunity to enjoy yourself
tor two hours and half than to visit
my Wife's Family"

With the new models all ten

The curve in the back of
the Corset which gave some

remedied. The extreme dip
in the back of the garment
has been shifted more to the

greater ease and greater grace
