EDUCATIONAL NOTES.


One of the public school men of Maine re-
Gently received letter from leading edu-
Gator of Virginia, from which we make the
following extract SIN May we have ar
ranged to have about one hundred of the
most prominent men in the State talk to
our people on improving our common
schools. From all indications, public edu-
cation will be the chief issue in Virginia
for the next few years. Discussion has
again entered into the life of the State.
Principles instead of prejudices and per-
sonalities are to become the marrow of po-
litical parties. All this means more than
you can imagine"
1t is gratifying to those of our citizens
who are interested in the welfare of the
public schools to know that during the past
year, unusual gains have been made in the
attendance of our schools.
The increase for the past year over the
preceding, aggregates 1923 pupils. This
showing is peculiarly stimulating to our
pride when we have to remember the small
increase in our population. 1t Is doubted
if any other State can make an equally
favorable showing.
The decrease in the number of persons
enumerated is accounted for by the fact
that the enumeration for the past year in
Guided persons between five and twenty
one years of age, while for the previous
year it included those between four and
twenty-one years of age.
The decrease in the number enrolled is
due to the fact that in preceding years
many children between four and five years
| of age have been allowed to attend school,
although not legally entitled to do so. Dur
ing the past year this law has been enforced,
and hence, the change noted above.
These interesting figures furnish the Ell
couraging assurance that our local superln-
tendentS are exerting themselves to improve
their schools that teachers are becoming
| more efficient that parents have lively ~
terest in the education of their children ana
that the children themselves are becoming
more ambitious to avail themselves of the
school privileges provided for them

MOST SACRED RELIC.
TOOTH OF BUDDHA WoRsHIPED
BY HIS FOLLOWERS.
Carefully Guarded in Magnificent
Temple in Handy, on Island OF
Ceylon - Many Pilgrims Are
Drawn Thither Yearly.

London.-A certain tooth is to the
Buddhists what the Holy Sepulchre at
Jerusalem is to the Christians, and what
the birthplace at Mecca Of the greatest
Of Arabian prophets is to the Mahom-
etans. This tooth is believed by the
pilgrims to its shrine to have come from
the sacred mouth of Gautama Buddha,
the founder of their faith. The shaver,
barefooted priests who watch over the
relic say that it was taken from the
ashes of his funeral pyre five centuries
before Christ was born, and that it will
continue to exist many more centuries
after Christianity and all the other re-
ligions of the world have been lost and
forgotten. AS matter Of fact, this pro-
foundry venerated object looks suspi-
ciously like the tooth of wild boar
or monkey.
The "holy tooth" is enshrined in Kan
dy,>a mountain town on the island OF
Ceylon, and thither it draws pilgrims
from about one-third the entire popula-
ton of the world. Wherever Buddhism
has spread, the fame of this bit of bone
has gone, so that it is regarded as sacred
by more than $50 100000 human beings.
The early records of Buddhism tell
of tooth of the great teacher which
figured in the state ceremonies of many
eastern potentates. For a time it re-
NAMED in India, the native country of
the prophet, and travelled in state from
one court to another. 1t was the mar
riage dover of many princesses of the
royal blood, and it's possession was be-
lieved to insure happiness both in this
and after existences. AS matter of
fact it was the cause of endless dissen-
sions and not few murders. With the

II years ago, when Japan sent to Ger
many for an expert to take hold Of its
war academy and reorganize its military
establishment Until that time the mi
kado's army had been modelled on
French lines, but the island empire
reached the tardy conclusion that as
German strategy had proved itself SO
superior to French soldiership in 1870
and 1871, it was high time to abandon
the inferior system. Nickel, with .
brilliant record of active service in the
Danish, Austrian and French cam"
paigns, was selected as the ideal man
to lick the Japanese soldiers into shape.
From 1885 to 1883 he was busy at Toxic
undoing the lessons taught for many
years previous by French officers. He
unfolded the doctrines of MOltke and
Boon to thousands of young officers
then mostly mere subalterns of the lieu-
tenant grade-but who are to-day lead,
ing regiments, brigades, divisions and
army corps in front of Mukden.

need, lives in splendid style in a pala-

handsome suburbs. His home is filed

placed military admirers in Japan. Two

MCDONALD IN CHAIR.
MADE GOVERNOR OF COLORADO
AFTER TURBULENT CONTEST.
New Executive Enjoys Unique Dis
tinction Of Holding Four Public
Offices at One Time-Was
Once q Miner.

Denver, Col.-Jesse Mcdonald, the
new governor of troubled Colorado,
who has just taken his seat after
three months of turmoil in the Adams
Peabody contest, goes into Office un-
Outstanding something Of the compli-
cations of politics. For Gov. Melon
aid has himself been ousted from Of
fee, and has also enjoyed the unique
distinction OF holding four public Of
fees at one time.
Just after Gov. Peabody's resigna-
ton was handed in, Mr.. Mcdonald
was, in effect, governor, lieutenant
governor, state senator, and mayor of
Leadville. The shift has simplified
his situation somewhat, but at the
present time he actually holds two Of
fices-governor of the state and mayor
of the city in which he permanently
resides.
These political shifts, typical of
Colorado, are peculiarly interesting in
Gov. McDonald's case. Two years ago
he was elected to the state senate from
his district. There was the inevitable
contest, as the vote was close, and a
democratic legislature decided against
Mcdonald and unseated him for his
opponent, Daniel Healey, democrat.
Mcdonald protested. returned to Lead
ville-where he was elected mayor
and bided his time. He was placed on
the republican state ticket as lieuten-
ant governor last fall, and received q
substantial majority, although the can
didate for governor was, on the face
of the returns, defeated.
When the present general assembly
met the Mcdonald contest case, hang
ing over from two years ago, was
again brought up. Healey was un-
seated, Mcdonald given his seat, and

Christine holy tooth was removed
to the adjoining island of Ceylon, that
there it might abide in secure shrine.
But it found no rest. 1t was captured
by one conQueror, to be wrested away
from him by another. At one time the
sMalsbars had it, at another the Portu-
guese, and in the sixteenth century, &C.
cording to the most authentic records,
it was publicly, destroyed. In the pres
ence of the viceroy of India and his suite
it was burned in 1860 by the Catholic
archbishop Of Goa, who thus hoped to
end forever Almost abominable idol
airy" as he called it.
Although the ''holy tooth" was thus
reduced to ashes and thrown to the
winds, it did not cease to exist in the
minds of the faithful. Six years later
the tooth was wanted to conclude an
international marriage, and in order
that the ceremony should be conducted
with all due solemnity the tooth was
produced in some way. A short time
afterward this piece of bone was taken
to Handy, a town in the center of Cey-
Ion, situated on the top of hill, and a
magnificent temple, called the Dalada
Malagawa, was built over it. 1t is not
exhibited save on rare occasions, when
few high personages are permitted in
secret to see it. -..s...s
Those who have seen the enshrined
tooth say it is mounted so as to resem-
BILE the pistil of golden flower. The
gold wire which supports it rises from
the midst of a lotos flower of gold. The
pedestal is Shaped like truncated cone,
with wavelike surface, incrusted with
gems and other rare ornamenG A sort
of pago.ia surmounts the shrine, which
is also 80 rich in treasure that, if broken
up and sold, it is estimated that it would
bring half million dollars.
The priests and practically all the
other natives of Handy i've on the
tooth, much as the people of Mecca pros
per on the sacred fame of their city.
Were II not for the 10000 or more pill
grims who gather there each year, car
Iyfrs their gifts of silver and gold, and
spending their money among the inn
keepers and stores, the population of
Handy would starve. AS it is, the place
is especially prosperous, and the priests,
despite their vows of asceticism, look
as If they enjoyed their present exist
ence.

until he was sworn in as lieutenant
governor served as state senator. The
senate seat is now vacant. He is adj
ministering the municipal affairs of
Leadville at long range, and does not
propose to resign the Office, as his
term expires next month. j.
The new governor of Colorado is a
common-sense, level-headed man of
affairs. He was once a MINER Born
in Ashtabula, O., in 1855, he attended
school there and later in Pennsyl-
vania. When he came est it was at
the age of "a. The carbonate excite
ment at Leadville was at it's height.
People were focking to the camp from
all over the globe, and there were
stories of the fabulous fortunes in
Senator -Tabors Matchless mine and
others that gave Leadville it's celeb
rity. Mcdonald got an outfit" went
to the carbonate camp, and at once
took up number of locations.
McDonald's mining locations and his
subsequent investments were FORUM
ate. He had faith in Leadville as
mining camp, and also the mining
camp OF Robinson in nearby coun-
ty. He gradually became a man of
influence, and is one of the most prom
inent figures in mining circles in
Leadville, and but few large deals are
made in that camp in which his name
does not figure. His fortune is said
to. be half million.
Mr.. Mcdonald has not sought an &C.
tive political life. His business prom
inence, rather, has forced him into it,
and it was by request of the repub-
licans of Leadville that he ran for the
state senate two years ago, and twice
for mayor of Leadville. He is mod
est man and he has a modest wife.
No ether man could have been so
fortunate to his party as the lieuten-
ant governor in the crisis that faced
the republican party, as, when it was
found that certain republicans would
not support Mr.. Peabody, the mention
of Mr.. McDonald's name was accepted
objection whatever could be offered
to him in his party or out of it. On
condition that he became governor all
opposition to the unseating of Alva
Adams ceased in the party. Gov. Nc
Donald was chosen by his party for.
chief executive and as peacemaker,
and he is exceptionally we'll fittei for
the Office as well as the compliment
tary role assigned him. He is a man
of firm convictions, slow to make up
his mind, but once fixed there can be
no turning back; an able business
men, free of enemies in his party, and
owing allegiance to no man or faction,
but at liberty to heal all schisms, and
to give the state an administration
that will make no stir in history, but
which will give entire satisfaction to
the citizen.
