these. he thinks the gown and cap do
not look well on young woman un-
less worn over white dress, and he
thinks 1t altogether desirable that high
school commencements be kept simple

The School Journal gets around the
expense objection by suggesting that
the institution itself own the caps and
gowns, saying that this is the sensible
plan, being economical and democratic.
Practical Training For Girls.
The Boston school committee has ap-
proved the recommendation of the SUI
perintendents to establish with the
next school year girls high school Of
practical arts with four year course,
conditions for admission to which will
be equivalent to those Of the regular
high schools. The theory of this school
is to give opportunity to those pupils
whose talents lie In the direction Of
doing and expressing rather than In
acquisition. On the academic side
courses will be created In English, his
tory. art, modern languages, mathe-
matics and science, but these will be
treated In their relation to some prac-
teal line of work. On the industrial
side the school will be divided into two
classes, one for those seeking to be-
come home makers, and the other for
those who aim, at least for time, to
De self supporting. For the first class
emphasis will be given to all phases
Of domestic science and arts, and for
the second foundation will be laid
In some distinct taste, so that the pu-
pill may be able to enter upon the
higher forms of the various women's
Industries.

The true facts, the State Fair of 1907
will be conducted on the same order
ly and broad basis that [as character
lied the exhibitions held by the Mich
igan Agricultural society in the past.
Every attraction on the grounds will
have to come up to the high standard
set by the executive committee or the
permit under which it will be given
access to the grounds will be revoked.
It Is the aim of the society to make
Pie great Michigan fair an event to be
looked forward to by those enjoying
keen and exciting contests of speed,
the opportunity to study the products
and natural resources of the Wolver-
inc state, and high-class entertain
ments.
In 1906 the fair was open on Sun
day. 1t was the desire of the manage
ment to give those who could not get
out to the grounds on week days an
opportunity of viewing the exhibits
that had been gathered from all parts
OF this great state. The Sunday pro.
gram was in keeping with the day.
There were sacred concerts, both in
the afternoon and evening, while no
shows of any kind were operated and
all boistrousness was sternly repress-
ed.
The fair of 1907 will be closed upon
Sunday. This action was taken, not
because the previous openings of the
fair on this day had not borne out
every contention made by the execu-
tive committee as to the advantages
that would accrue to those who could
not visit the fair at any other time,
but simply to silence the criticism
that came from many quarters, and
to weld into a compact unit those who
were giving the society's officers their
support.

MICHIGAN BUILDING AT STATE
FAIR

Standing conspicuously in the fore.
ground as one approaches the main
entrance to the State Fair grounds,
Detroit, Is the magnificent structure
that entertained thousands of visitors
to the Louisiana Purchase exposition
under the name of the Michigan Build
ing. AS one views the grounds from
the Woodward avenue approach its
tall columns, airy verandas, and or
nate architecture show the care that
was expended by the st. Louis COM
missioners who selected the plans be-
fore it's erection in st. Louis.
After the long journey from st.
Louis to Detroit, and reconstructed II
Is even more beautiful and graceful!
than when erected In the Missouri
city. 1t is now permanent struc-
ture, while when first built the walls
were Of staff and intended to stand
only for few short months. While
at st. Louis the building stood upon
temporary foundation consisting of
few piles, today 1t Is on a solid
foundation and there is not the slight
est danger of the structure sagging,
for no expense was spared when 1t
became a companion structure to the
glass and brick buildings nearby.
Early in 1905 the st. Louis fair
commissioners offered the building to
the officers of the Michigan Agricul-
tural society for the sum of $3.50.
The original contract price had been
$4,000 and in addition to this the
contractors stood a loss of $4,000 due
to the high wages that were paid dur
ing the fair. The offer was eagerly
accepted, but before the building was
finally erected in Detroit the society
paid out an additional $4,000.
This year the entire upper floor
will be devoted to the art collection
which will be under the direction of
Prof. A. H. Griffith, director of the De-
troit Museum of Art. Part of the low
er floor will be devoted to the mineral
exhibit, Of which Rep. w. J. Galbraith,
of Calumet, will be the superintend-
ent. This exhibit promises to be the
finest collection of mining products
ever shown in the history of the
world
In the Michigan building friends can
meet friends. and seek rest on its cool
verandas. The views in all directions
are worth patiently sitting in steam
er chair and studying as the kaliedo-
scope of life and activity passes be-
fore ones view.

EXHIBITS HOUSED IN BUILDINGS.

Enormous sums of money have been
spent during the past year by the Of
ficers of the Michigan State Agricul-
tural Society in order to make sure
that at the 1907 State Fair at Detroit
none of the exhibitors would have to
be housed in tents. Since the fair of
1905 many of those bringing fruits,
vegetables and live stock to Michi-
CANS great industrial exposition have
had to be given temporary canvas
quarters, but this year it was deter
mined to build additional buildings UNI
til ample room would be provided for
all.
Every structure on the new grounds
Is substantial, and It is hoped that
within a short time the larger depart
ments will each have building Of its
own. The magnitude of the State
Fair can be best appreciated when 1t
Is known that at the beginning of the
fair of 1906 the society owned 140
acres Of land on the principal thor
oughfare of Detroit, a mile race track
90 feet wide, steel constructed grand
stand seating 5000 people, fine
horse barn containing accommoda-
tions for 800 horses, five cattle barns
for 600 cattle, two sheep barns for 600
sheep, two swine barns for $50 swine,
for fine speed horse barns, 100 stalls,
poultry house 40x150 feet, main
building 100x220 feet, well lighted, a
horticultural building, 70x160 feet,
with the most convenient arrange
ment possible, an agricultural build
ing, 4Ox15O feet, a dairy building,
40x150 feet, with a refrigerator Sx50
feet, administration building 70x160
feet; the Michigan building, removed
from st. Louis; the finest band stand
In Michigan, toilet rooms in abund-
ance, a score of drinking hydrants
that furnish pure water, a fine rest
grove, tents for women and children,
and in fact every modern convenience.

Demands of Telesraphers.

OendHoS OF IcieSTdpneTas
Each director of the Western Union
Telegraph company has received a
copy of the formal statement of griev-
ances prepared by the Telegraphers'
union. 1t cites six cases of discrimina-
ton and arbitrary dismissal Of en-
ployees OH account Of their union con-

ment. They ask that eight hours con-
stitute a days work and seven and
one-half hours n nights work, and they
want fixed scale of wages based on
the promised 10 per cent increase,
which they say the company has evad-
ed in various ways.
Death of General Ruser.
Major General Thomas II. Ruger, a
veteran of the civil war, who later was
in command of West Point, died at his
home in Stamford, Conn, June 8.
Storms Damage Crops.
A series Of wind, hail and rain storms
throughout Texas and the southwest
have caused loss of crops, houses, cat
tie and other property estimated at
more than $1O,OOO,OOO. The hail was
unusually destructive to crops and cat
tie.
The Gould Case In Court.
The suit brought by Mrs. Howard
Gould for separation from her hus-
band came up before Justice Mccall at
New York upon the application of Mr..
Gould to have stricken out certain
parts Of the complaint as scandalous
and OVERWHELMINGLY, the parts ac-
cusing him of adultery and espionage,
which, as his counsel argued, would
have no force In a suit for separation.
Mrs. Gould's lawyer threatened to
make known charges Of more seri-
Gus nature If Gould persisted in op-
posing the separation.

Anchoring Skyscraper.
A new departure in architecture has
been made in connection with the foun-
dation work for the forty-five story
Singer building at New York, which is
expected to be the highest structure in
the world. According to an article by
G. NJ. Ripley in the Engineering World,
the protection Of this lofty tower from
instability on its narrow base on ac-
rount OF wind pressure has been eff
fected by Embedding several lengths of
great iron bars in the mass of concrete
forming the caisons fifty feet below
the level of the basement floor These
bars are held together by pins six
inches In diameter, which in turn are

strain might be counteracted. This
has never before been done. The law
requires that stability Of structures be
figured upon wind pressure Of thirty
pounds per square foot, and on this
basis the force exerted against one side
Of the building would be equal to 339
tons pressure
