"SehOOI District Contracts for Instruc,
tiOn Of Pupils abd Transportation
Of Children"

This is the title of special act Of thi
New York Legislature for the benefi
OF small schools. 1t was first enacted
in 1897, and amended in 1903. Recently
I received a copy Of the act and amend
ment. Briefly its main provisions are
as follows:
The trustees of any school district,
who have been duly authorized by a
majority of its voters, may make con-
tract with any other consenting board
Of trustees for the education OF all the
children Of such district, and may pro-
vide for carrying the children to and
from school. On filing a copy of this
contract, duly certified by the trustees
of both districts, with the State Super
intendent Of Pubblic instruction, such
school district is deemed to have em
plpyed a competent teacher; and if
such contract is for full school year,
such district is entitled to receive its
full share Of public money; but no dis
trict shall receive a greater amount Of
public money than the total expense
incurred IN payment Of tuition and
transportation of pupils.
! was informed by trustee of a very
small New York rural school, that they
had, for three years, under the provi-
sions Of this act, made contracts for the
education of their children and that
instead of providing transportation for
the children, arrangements were made
with the parents to carry or provide
transportation for their own children
1 did not ascertain the cost per pupil
for tuition and transportation of chill
dren, but was assured that the "dis-
tribUtive district quota" (Sl25) was
ample to cover both and that conse-
quently. so far, they had not been COM
PEELED to tax themselves to meet the
expenses of the school.
While waiting for Capitalization, "
such a provision in Delaware school
law, framed to suit local conditions,
would be of great benefit TO districts of
small enrolment
Take for example district No. 5S IN
New Castle county, which had, accord
ing to report of 1901, an enrolment Of
pupils, and a total expenditure for
the school of $254.8s; or No. SO (in the
same county,, with an enrolment of
and an expenditure of 1913 20.
The cost per enrolled pupil in No. IS,
was $S1 .S6, and IN No. 50, S8477. As
he average daily attendance in each
ichOol was only about 8. the cost per
attending pspil in No IS was SSO25,
md in No. $50, SlO4 4S.
A SHAMEFUL WASTE
Transport and educate these children
n another district, and they will have
he stimulus of a larger and better
chool, and tax payers will be relieved
f heavy burden

United States Court.

Ia the United States Court last Mon.
day afternoon Judge Bradford handed
down a decision in the case of CHS
hOlm.ScOtt Co. of Suspension Bridge,
N. Y, VS.. Elizabeth and and Ezekiel
Fleming, of Harrington, in this State
The case was brought to restrain the
Flemings from using a pea hulling
machine, alleged to be an infringement
of a patent held by the Chisholm Scott
Co. The court declares that the machine
used by the Flemings is an infringe
ment, restraints them from employing
it and orders an accounting as prayed
for. Sometime ago there was a similar
decision in the case of the Chisholm
Scott Co. VS.. Johnson in which the
court also sustained the patent of the
cOmplainants but the decision was re-
versed by the Circuit Court of Appeals,
Judge George Gray dissenting. 1t is
declared, however, that in this case
new evidence was presented.
The case is important as it will affect
the users of all pea hulling machines
in canneries throughout the United
States with the exception ofthose made
by the Chisholm-Scott Co. In going
over the case the court reviews the
various patents and declares that a
French patent TO a Madame Faure
which is claimed to antedate the CHS
holm Scott patent was a machine for
hulling peas by abrasion and not by
impact.

Can be easily investigated.
What better proof can be had?
Robert Jester, owner of a small farm
on the south side of McUOlley St, and
who is also fisherman, says: "The
pain across my back, if not constant,
occurred so frequently during the past
. or years that can safely say that l
was either suffering from a spell or get
ting over one all the time. was never
wholly free from pain and distress.
Backache is enough to worry a man
who is compelled to earn his daily
bread, but that was not all | suffered
There was added to it trouble with the
kidney secretions and a weaknessw which
resulted in too frequent passages. I
used one preparation after another but
was never able to find anything to give
me relief until l got hold of Doan's
Kidney Pills at DR.. G. w. Pleasanton's
drug store. They worked right to the
root Of the trouble AID brought unex-
pected relief In a comparatively short
time was cured, and I believe that
the cure is permanent, for up to date
there has been no signs of a recurrence.

are the best kidney remedy in the world,

course, in Columbia and placed
under the care of the University
curators. This Memorial Hall is
to be in honor of the men who took
part as soldiers in the late UNI
pleasantness, both Confederate
and Federal. The University peo-
pie are extremely non-partisan in
their gatherings-in, you know.
TIE Hall is to be filled with books,
aud relics and things, and will be
open to the public-of Columbia
under proper restrictions. A very
pretty Hall ought to be built and
stocked with the $3.50, 900 in ques-
ton. No doubt of that; and the
admiring taxpayer could again
"point with pride" to another
evidence of his generosity and
easiness. The Columbia people
tell US that the Hall will not cost
the people of Missouri one cent.
But the appropriation of the $780,
900 to the necessary uses of the
State would sdue them a great
many cents. At any rate it would
go quite a way toward making up
the additional $1,000, 900 the Uni
versity wants the State to give il
this year. The developments Of
the "poor girls dormitory ought
to make the legislature wary Of
the askings of the institution which
swallows all the State can give
and continually cries for "more.'
If the University cannot run on its
$500 a day assured income, il
ought to shut up shop and go ou'

The plan for teaching Castro a
lesson was completed weeks ago,
but the President decided to defer
its execution until after the adjourn
ment of Congress, so that he would
not be hampered by the Senate.
This is delightfully."- refreshing in
its disingenuousness and as nom
chalant as Louis XIV.'s 81 am the
State" President Cleveland COM
planned of "having Congress or
his hands," and now his latest
successor teels "hampered" by the

ing geese. If the President sees it il
the same way, of course he doesn'
want to be "hampered" by thei
representatives of either House
and whatever he does will be al
right, after the manner of king

THE following letter appeared in
the New York Herald's Paris
edition, December 2Sth:
To the Editor of the Herald:
| was very much amused to read
in your paper the letter from Sir
Howard Vincent complaining
about the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner." am surprised, Sir, that a
titled Englishman should not know
that in America no one but our
tradespeople ever sings that hor-
ribly grotesque song. Our best
class considers it inexpressibly
vulgar. Let me assure Sir Howard
: that, except among very ordinary
persons in America, the words of
the song are not known. daresay
not II of my friends could re-
peat more than two lines of it from
memory. Only those assertive,
patriotic bourgeois persons in
America who so justly excite the
ridicule of Englishmen. and trav-
eled gentlemen of whatever nation
atty, rise and uncover when the
national anthem is played. The
cultured class does not even know
any national anthem except "My
Country tits of Thee" which was
SO shamelessly stolen from Great
Britain. Sir Howard can rest un-
disturbed in his very kind desire
to promote Anglo-American amity.
Our better classes are heartily
ashamed of the anti British senti-
ment expressed in the words of
which he complains.
