the pupilA have applied themselves
well and the teachers have been en-
thusiastic and energetic.
We would again call attention of
parents to the fact that only one week
remains for the entrance of children
WHO have never been to school. After
next week no children can enter the
first grade UP less they show them
selves of equal advancement with the
class. If you have small children to
enter the first grade this year. let
them come at once. We would urge
parents to keep the little ones !. as
regularly as possible. A day lost to
them Is much more difficult to make
up than a day Aost in a higher grade.
The total enrolment for the month
was 44s. The average daily attend
ance was 3S5. Both the enrolment
and the attendance is the largest ever
made for the first month.
TIE percentage of attendance By
rooms is as follows: Miss McClin-
tons room, So Miss Anderson's
room, 81; Miss Fields room. 81;

Miss WertE's room has the best
attendance for the month by a small
fraction. and Is entitled to carry the

and while it tranquillizes the mind it
doesn't deaden 1t. On the contrary, its
mental effect is that of oil Oh squeaky
axle. 1t makes the wheels run easier
and at the same time faster.
A Mans Physical Comforts.
A good dinner, comfortable chair,
the company Of a sympathetic and low
ing wife and a fragrant Havana make
combination that will carry man
about as near to heaven as he can get
on this side of the Jordan. 1t brings
out all that is good in him, removes the
worries of the day, straightens out the
wrinkles in his brain, makes him more
amiable, pleasanter companion, u
better husband. Leave out the cigar
and the cares of business are likely to
stay with him; he is grumpy and irri-
table, ready to quarrel at the drop Of
the hat ana about as entertaining as a
lobster salad in the throes of digestion.
If you make him go out and sit ON the
curbstone alone while he takes his
after dinner smoke the effect is morally
and physically bad. and the first thing
you know he'll be chasing off to some
place where he can smoke in comfort.
That's the beginning of the end. It's
a wise woman who lets her husband
smoke at home, and If my advice has
any weight with you you'll encourage
the habit in Billy-in moderation, mind
you-but for goodness sake beg him
to get Il better brand Of cigars than
the one he gave me rs l was leaving
home the last time.
The other habits that you object to
are just failings, and they are so near
ly universal among the wearers Of
trousers that their absence would in
dictate something radically wrong.
don't know why 1t is, and don't think
the scientific fellows ever tried to eX-
plain it, though they have wasted their
lives in investigating things of much
less Importance. but the fact remains
that few men can be really, truly COM
Portable unless they can get their feet
off the floor when they sit down.

natures methods of equalizing the cir

pretty considerable to do with the

THE eoMPERs DOCTRINE.

For years it has been the aim OF
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor. to unity the great
trades Of the country and bring all
their elemental strength to bear in
one organic craft. in order that the in
terests Of one department of a trade
might be made the interest OF all the
rest and serve the common end of i'm
provement and progress: and he is
but now beginning to realize on his
fine inspiration. His plan has always
had the merit of dignity anj II it had
been adopted years ago, might have
saved millions to the crafts and the
businesses Of the country. through a
wiser and more effective direction Of
the strike principle.
Gompers, himself, is opposed to pal
try strikes, and has always striven
against them, as immaterial and with
out lasting effect, and altogether lack
ing the virtue of impressiveness. He
is devoted to the dignity of labor,
and has always maintained that atti-
tude when ne was permitted to sway
his followers. He believes In clean
cut cause of action and a weighty and
orderly demonstration Of adherence TO
that cause; dephecating always the
cheap and tawdry means and ends
that have prevailed so long and so
disastrously.
His conception of the Federation
which he was instrumental in organ
izing, and which he still dominates.
was of this sort; and he has worked
hard and long to make labor respect
itself and take its proper place in the
general scheme Of human effort: but
like all labor leaders he has mad to
contend with the blatherskite, the
tough, the ignoramus, to whom char
acter, solidarity scope and intelligent
action were as sounding brass" when
cast against the chance for rough
house demonstration, or a red-flag
parade and its concomitants.
His present successful scheme to
amalgamate the metal workers Of the
country into one great body under
wise and conservative leadership, will,
we hope, bring to light the real essence
Of his original plan and mark new
era In the cause of both labor and
capital. Once the vital source Of au-
thority is so placed that 1t cannot be
used by every mutinous whipper-
snapper with badge on down the
line somewhere, the style and course
OF strikes will change so radically as
to force respect and attention and pub
lie sympathy. There are plenty of
labor leaders who will stand by him
In this task for 1t is the cardinal hope
Of all men charged with the custody of
the trades and trades people, to SO
dignity the objects and personnel as
to establish for all time, their right
to due, popular considera don In all
their engagements, the denial of which,
to date, has been wrought by little
ness and Grass ignorance.
In this, as in all human contests,
brains are paramount, and labor must
recognize the dominance of them;
relegate the ruffian and the fool to
the rearest rank of its columns and
put forward the best balanced men it
possesses, at all times and places, to
assist in the lofty purposes of such
men as Gompers and Mitchell and
others of that calibre, before and
CONTROL its own destinies.
