Judge Mullowny Expects to See Re-

Judge Mullowny expects to have before
him tomorrow some of the people who
think the only way to celebrate All Hal
loween is at the expense of others Years
ago the practice of using decayed vegeta-
bles and other Objectionable articles was
INDUCED in to great extent, but recently
the night providers have been in the habit
of using flour. The throwing of flour
has caused the arrest of many boy and
the payment of fines in the Police Court
Policemen have been on extra duty to pre-
vent this method of celebrating from being
INDUCED in, but rs there are many more
boys than there are policemen 1t is impos-
sible to bring all violators of the law to
justice.
1T will therefore be well for people
to be on the lookout If they are upon the
streets tonight" remarked a policeman to
a Star reporter this morning.

ties will not be permitted says Major
Sylvester in an order issued to the lieuten-
ants last night. Boys who fail to appre-

For the purpose of giving pedestrians all
the protection possible Major Sylvester
has directed that the shifting sections be

and that the lieutenants have their reserve

He inquired why the men were not per-
forming this labor, and one woman ex-
planned: Husband mine don't work; me

The missionary made no further COM

Toda answered: mo, no; me no work;

The Toda meant what he said. Although
the missionary argued. and finally horse
whipped the native, he could not get him
to build a hut.
An equally amusing story is told by an
English officer. He was SO taken by the

LATEST MEM IN THE WORLD.
Some Stories Told of a Smau Hill Tribe
Of India.

From the Chicago Tribune.
In these days of push and energy II
sounds strange to talk of people as being
lazy, and still the Todas, hill tribe OF
India. are the LATEST people in the world.
The Todas are not ashamed OF their repu-
tation and are free to confess that they
know of nothing so foolish and stupid as
work. Their one and only pursuit Is the
raising of buffaloes; they are far too in
dolent to follow the chase. An AK is their
only weapon, although they know how to
make others. They use this for waging
war and for telling trees. They VIII not
till the land, considering this unnecessary
labor To make housekeeping easier, all
their natural products are held in common;
the idea of property is only restricted to
the hut, it's contents and live stock.
The buffaloes, which they own In large
quantities, furnish them with skins for
clothing and the hut, and the meat is used
as food. But milk is their principal diet.
They do not even relish the idea of milking
their cattle; the head mixers are the only
ones that are to be persuaded to do this
labor These men are chosen from the
class of "peiki'' or sons of God" They
are the priests and practice celibacy. AL
though the priests tend to the cattle, each
householder owns his cattle
Much as these men dislike the caring for
their cattle, they find farming a less dig
nifed calling. Some years ago they went
to war with their neighbOrS, the Badaga
and Kotas, as they might be able to levy a
tax of one-eighth on their grain products.
When their grain grows scarce they live
on roots and berries. They will sell their
land or give it away, but they will not cul-
tivate 1t at any price.
The building of bamboo huts does not in
terest them any more than the cultivating
of the soil, and they make this task easy by
making the boys cut the bamboo and their
wives build the huts. 1t Is not unusual for
three families to share one abode. The
men are often so lazy that they cannot at
ford one wife alone, but even this does not
worry them; two three brothers manage
to support one wife. Indolent and slothfu
they sit listless for hours, unconcerned
about all things. What they know they
know well: they are intelligent within GER
tain narrow limits, but they are too lazy to
increase their store of knowledge. What
ever has to be done must be cared for by
the women and children.
Strangely, their appearance does not dis
close this most marked characteristic. They
are tall and well-proportioned They look
like Roman senators, they walk wrapped
in skins resembling the ancient toga. Their
appearance Is not only prepossessing but
bold and self-reliant
Many an amusing story is told of this
small hill tribe, numbering about 400 men.
An American missionary working
among them, when one day he saw some
women and boys building hut of bamboo.

Director Issues Order.

the principal of the NJ Street High School
In the same form a TO principals of other

for further preparation. The principal ac-
knowledged the receipt of this communica-

order, but on the contrary, she immedi-
ately appealed to the colored assistant s,l-

Report of the Committee.

The report of the committee submitted to
the board is as follows:
The committee of the whole, having heard
the testimony of many witnesses regarding
the conditions in the NJ Street High School,
reports as follows:
L Bearing in mind that 1t has been and
is the policy of the board of education to
maintain the NJ Street High School for COL
ored children at the same grade and with
the same standards in every particular as
prevail in other high schools of the Dis
trict the committee has examined officers,
teachers and records to ascertain whether
this requirement OF the board has been OBJ
served. We find that in one instance where
textbook on English history Lad been
adopted by the board for all the high
schools. some of the faculty of the NJ
Street High School, with the consent OF. the
principal, requested and secured a change
of this textbook and restored the use of
a former one on the ground that it was
easier for their students This was in vio-
lation of the action and policy of the board,
and should not have been permitted
z We also find that in the year 1904 a
rule of practice which had prevailed for
some time ago in the Central Western and
Eastern High Schools, of examining first
year students at about the end of the first
quarter to ascertain their qualification and
fitness to continue high school work was
put in force in the NJ Street High School
and the same examination required in the
other high schools was held The result
of this examination by the teachers of the
NJ Street High School found that about
sixteen students were deficient or weak
and that four students We're entirely I'M
qualified for the work.

Offers Equal Opportunity.

That the board declares that the public
school system as at present organized and
administered offers to every child of school
age an equal opportunity to acquire com
mon school education IN a favorable envi-
ronment and under the best teachers OBJ
tainable; that the advanced courses of the
high manual training and normal schools
are open to all who are able to attain such
reasonable standards of scholarship as are
everywhere recognized as essential to ad-
vancement toward the higher learning; that
the same text books are prescribed, and, In
the graded schools, furnished without cost
been made by the board in tho cost and
completeness of equipment of new school,
buildings in favor of any section of the city
or any class of citizens and, so far as this
board has been able to influence legisla-
ton, teachers doing like work have re-
ceived like pay, while pupils performing
kindred tasks have shared kindred honors.
That the board believes that this equality
of participation in the advantages of free
education should carry with it an equality
of obligation, and that no individual or
class of pupils should desire or expect the
rewards of scholarly endeavor without fully
measuring up to the standards of attain
ment set for all.
That the board also believes 1t to be a
false and hurtful manifestation of sym
pathy toward any class of pupils for a
teacher or school officer to lower the
standards in conformity to which alone
pupils can be rightfully advanced and that
a regard for the highest interests of the
student whatever his station in life, should
withhold from him any promotion or honor
which has not been squarely earned.
Mrs. Cooper's name was not mentioned IN
the resolutions adopted. the board dealing
only with its policy in regard to the schools
in general,
