Philadelphia, Pa.
Ny Dear Mr.. Wing,

MY Dear Mr.. Wing
Will you kind
Is grant me the favor Of your coli
unns ogain to express my apprecia-
ton of the work of the good people
of Laporte in pushing the work of
advertising of the place as summer
resort.
Having arranged to Isl ne a six
teen page illustrated circular with
twelve or more illustrations in half
tone, l desire te make three suggest
tons: First, Let the beautiful Sc
ciuded walks about Laporte be kept
clear of rubbish and village refuse.
by burning up all such thing. in the
early springtime and thereafter as
often as they accumulate. The walk
through the old road above Cold
spring is Il most beautiful one. if
nature is not imposed upon in its
care. The old road to the second
ward is also very refreshing in its
beauty and may easily be preserved.
The road to Mokoma is equally at.
tractive for short ramble for recre-
alton. There are others that might
be mentioned, but | am sure that
the good taste of the people of La
porte will sec TO it that these beau
ties are preserved for their own sake
as wellaS for their attractions to
summer guests.
Second: If it seems wise to the
lot owners and other property own
ers in the Lake Mok0ma Land Com
pany properties, l should like list
of their names and addresses that a
feasable plan may be sent to each
one for the Improvement and utii-
zation of the Lake for pleasure and
maintenance of It's attractive condi-
tions.
Third: Let there be an efficient
herdsman whose duty shall be to
teach the cattle of Laporte the court
eous habit of absenting themselves
from the streets and pleasant walks
of the village during such times as
the citizens and guests may desire
to frequent these streets and walks;
and whose further duty shall be to
remove all results of the violations
of proper decency by the cattle as
they pass through the streets of
thetoWn.
Arrangements are made to have
the illustrated circular ready for
distribution b. the first of April.
In the meantime it will he the part
of wisdom to let every one interested
in the good of the town write down
from time to time the name and ad-
dress of every one to whom circu-
lar might he interesting Bnd who
might have influence for the good
of the movement.
Very Respectfully,
l.. l.. Ford.

DESTRUCTIVE.
FIRE AGAIN VISITS THE
COUNTY SEAT.
Pupils Barely Escaped Without Harm.
A $4,000 Property Loss, Partly Covered
With Insurance.

The handsome school building IA,
l4aporte was completely destroyed
by fire Monday afternoon entail.
"A loss of $4,000. The fire was dis.
covered shortly before the recess
period and the pupils We're only able
to escape in safety with their wraps

fire originated in the hOt-air tiue
which was constructed within the
partition separating The two lower
rooms. There were but two rooms
Of the building occupied. The pri-
mary grade was taught in one of the
lower rooms and the advanced grade
in a room on the second floor. 1t
was in the lower room not occupied
where the fire first broke out and
when discovered was then under
such !leadway that it could not be
extinguished with the means at hand
to be brought in use.
A pupil in the upper room seated
near the register noticed smoke issu-
ing from that point and called the
Principals attention t. it. Mr..
Shoemaker believing something
wrong with the heater went at once
to the basement, but finding nothing
wrong returned to the first floor to
make further investigation. Here
he found the South room to be on
fire. The alarm was sounded and
all available water at hand hurriedly
applied which proved of no account.
The books saved would not make an

she the para xon of educational prog.
resS. Ours is the first state to pass
a law providing for universal
high school education and provide
facilities sufficient to enable any
child to be trained for the occupa-
/ ton IN life he wishes to pursue.
The parent may be an obstacle to
the true function of the public school
by lack of interest in the progress
of their children, by falling to com
mend and seeking TO condemn be-
cause of personal prejudice, the eff
fort of the teacher, by allowing or
encOurageing the non. attendance OF
your children at school during part
of the session. The true function of
the teacher is to become the most
vital element i'm the community in
the encouragement and develop
ment of that which is true, beautiful
and good. To teach the mature
mind the truth of God is noble
work bat to imprint upon the plas-
tic mind of the youth this imperish-
able truth is a nobler work, herein
opens to the teacher splendid pro-
ject, a glorious possibility. To see a
soul open clean and sweet in the
light of Gods truth, and be conscious
OF the influence we exert in its de-
velopment is the true reward of
teaching. This development can be
obtained by creating for our pupils
high ideals of noble manhood, by
setting for them high moral stand
ard, by creating for them life of
thought which eventually glide sinto
Il life of deeds.

The open winter that we have
been enjoying is not an unmixed
blessing. The unusually mild
weather caused a large falling off in
the demand for coal and checked
the calls for heavy clothing. The
result to the crops is still an open

doubt for some time to come.

planning, in effect, that the figures
embraced in the bill were merely ten
tative and not to be construed as
being based upon the actual ex-
penses of operating the plant. There
still remains, however, a diversity Of
opinion among the members of the
union, It is understood. as to the
best system of regulating the office
since, while the majority seem to
favor the state ownership plan and
the most salient features Of the bill
as drafted, others express favor to
the contract system while still others
believe the present system the best
If placed under a revised schedule
of rates.
These developments, which are
brought out by practical printers
who have worked in the state print
cry for years and are familiar with
every little detail Of the business,
bring up the question of what amount
of money is actually needed to pay
the expenses of having the state
printing done for the biennial period,
and. since conditions are changing
with the advent of each succeeding
year with a consequent gradual In
crease of the cost of operation there
are no figures upon which anything
like an accurate estimate can be
based. The secretary of state is the
auditor of the accounts ana expenses
of the state printing Office, and his
report TO the coming legislative ses'
sion will state that it is practicable
imposslbility to arrive at any ae'
curate estimate of the probable cost
of public printing for the ensuing two
years.
Secretary Of State Dunbar's blen.
nlal reports for the past six years
show that, for the biennial period OF
19O1-O2 the total cost was S52'OOO'
for the two years 10000, $4,000
and for the last two years from
January /, 1905 to December Sal
1906, the total cost will aggregate
about $4,000. For the period 1903
