New Aid for Rural Schools.

The new law in relation to state
aid for district schools provides for
a special annual payment of $50 q
year for three years to districts
maintaining a rural school Of the
first class.
The eligible districts are such, not
composed wholly OF in part of an
incorporated village or city, as have
maintained a school for eight
months during the previous year
aud employed a teacher having had
two years successful experience, or
holding at least a teachers second
grade certificate, the district being
provided with suitable buildings,
out buildings, apparatus, supple
mentary readers, and an improved
system Of ventilation, and having
done efficient work.
The state superintendent is by
law authorized to determine what
snail. be considered needfuI appa-
ratus and proper equipment. Ger
tain specified reports must be made
through the county superintendent
to the state superintendent by each
district making application for this
special state aid. No doubt the
states offer will have the effect Of
S 'imulating the rural districts.

Hats With Tennners.

There are hats with tempers, as ev-
cry woman is aware-the hats that
"go on" beautifully one day for pref
erence in the hat shop five minutes
before they are bought and which in
the next refuse to assume the right
pose and poise for love or money.
There are few conditions more trying
than to fall under the ban of a hats
dispIeasure. The only thing to be done
is to put it away for a week or so
and wait till it has recovered from its
temper, like naughty child. One can
not argue with a hat and smackng is
not to be recommended. - London

IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW STRICT.

AS a consequence of the food of
immigration to the United States
from the old countries during
the fiscal year ending June 80, the
the laws governing admitting to
this country persons of foreign
birth termed as immigrants viii
henceforth lie more rigidly enforced
ls the proposal Of the government.
The new law regulating such are
now in force aud are more stringent
than formerly. The laws hereto
fore made it comparatively easy for
foreigners to become residents of
this country. but with the new laws
matters are made quite different, as
any person now gaining admission,
to meet all requirements, must be
the next thing to q model citizen.
The restrictions on immigration
does not apply to thu United States
alone, but to its possessions as well
and viii DE- strictly enforced ID
Hawaii Is particular. 1t is propos-
ed to watch more closely the border
line between this country and
Canada and prevent the influx of
undesirable citizens or those who
land at the ports Of Canada for the
purpose Of entering the United
States and evading the laws that
might otherwise Le the cause Of
returning them to the country from
whence they came because their
physical or mental condition or
moral character failed to equal
the requirements of the law.
While this country is very Ii
beral in admitting persons of sound
mind in apparent good health
and who give evidence of becoming
Industrious and law abiding citizens.
vet the barrier against those affiict-
ed,with contagious diseases. mental
Nv deranged or belonging to the
criminal class is strong and should
be most r1gidIy enforced. The tide
of immigration in the past has been
q menace to the country in many
ways and is undisputed and for this
reason action has been taken by t. e
government toward admitting only
those who NAV become a benefit to
the country.
immigration agents located in for
eign countries were greatly respon-
slble in 1.-THE past for the arrival in
the United States of undesirable
classes. These agents are employed
by steamship companies and work
on percentage plan. They realized
a ,certain amount from each ticket
they sold and the tickets were sold
to anyone who desired TO come here
and had the price to pay their
passage across the ocean. With the
enforcement of the present i'm
migration laws those not meeting
with the requirements are directly
returned to their native soil.

"Tha correction of abuses argues our
contemporary. cannot be obtained by
cutting off one-third the railroad revenue
from passenger traffic. in fact reduction

public demand in other directions. The

in operation and equipment, based on

1t takes q brave newspaper to preach
that doctrine, for it is not popular. But
the people should be brought to rejection.
The railroads have themselves TO blame
for the attitude of the general public
towards them, as The Times Dispatch has

public must be conservative. Two wrongs
