OF the Sunday Alliance to denounce
the infamous assault upon Samuel
Simpson last Friday morning, resolu-
tions were passed by the 400 citizens
present asking the dismissal of Offic-

Bard. The police system which per

II was the sense of the meeting that
Simpson should have financial aid in
his case if he needed it. The Alli-

Poverty and Education.

Poverty is a great bar to education,
but would not be if both the child
and the parent were alive to the real
value of an education. If education
cannot be acquired in one way it can
in another. The trouble is that the
judgment Of the child is too immature
to prove a safe guide, and the parent
leaves everything to the child.

The Marshaeld School Exhibit.

In order that the parents and others
interested in the school might have an
opportunity to view the work which
the pupils were preparing for the state
educational exhibit at the Lewis and
Clark fair, before shipping it to Port
land, the Marshfeld school was dis.
missed last Friday afternoon, and the
work displayed in the different rooms,
where it was viewed by large number
of visitors during the afternoon. The
display was an interesting one, en-
bracing specimens of work from every
department of the school, the work be-
ing characterized by its uniform neat
ness and thoroughness of execution,
even to minor details. Throughout all
the departments the pupils seemed to
excel in nature work and drawing, the
water eoloring being exceptionally
good The map work was also excel.
lent, several of the latter Of Coos bay
being models of correctness and accu-
raey.
As requested by the fair committee,
the papers in rhetoric treat almost ex-
elusively of local subjects, and are very
interesting reading, this is especially
true of one of these, being narrative
of the old Indian legend Of the great
forest fire, which many years ago en-
tirely consumed the forest adjacent TO
Coos Bay, the heat from which, il is
said, was so great as to destroy many
Of the fish in the upper bay Much
favorable comment was excited by the
excellence of the work in the primary
department, the work of the little tots
being surprisingly good.
Aside from the regular departmental
work, the high school pupils have pre-
pared a flexible album containing spec.
linens Of all the native MOSES of Coos
county, together with a number of pho
tographs of different points Of interest
on the bay. Another original idea is
the preparation Of a couple Of cards, on
one Of which are displayed samples of
all printed invitations that have ever
been issued for commencement exer-
eisos, and on the other win be the pho.
tOgraphs of the entire alumni assOeia,
tion, together with the schools report
and register system.
There are 400 pupils in attendance at
