to do the work himself he could have
earned larger profits out Of money
paid to others. Land there is renting
for one half the crop, SO he says, and
half the money or $1,000 would have
paid over Sc per acre and as a thing

Candy Feasts-A patron of the city
schools writes the Tribune taking ex-
ception to the practice of having what
are called "candy feasts" at the pub
lie schools during the hours that he
thinks ought to be devoted to school
work" The frequency of these feasts,

the poorer class of pupils or else they
are mortified by not participating in
the contribution of candy On these
occasions. He also calls attention to
the danger of the spread of disease
from the general handling of candy
that comes from dear knows where.
He thinks such diversions as this
might be cut out of the curriculum
without detriment to either pupils or
the schools.
On inquiry it is found no time is
taken from the regular working time
of the school for candy feasts. They
have occurred when work for the day
is done When refused permission to
indulge in the building they usually
went out doors and ate their candy
beyond the Jurisdiction OF school au-
thorities and left boxes and paper and
candy to decorate the lawns of resi-
dents in the school neighborhood.
If the patron will suggest some way
to stop children bringing candy and
gum to school at any hour he will re-
lieve the teachers of one matter with
which they are constantly at war.
The remedy lies with the parents who
should refuse to furnish money to
children to purchase candy with
which to ruin their digestive organs.
