UfIIER BUSINESS
BY SCHOOL BOARD

There were several things attended
to at the meeting of the school board
beside the. famous resolution but they
came near being lost sight of in the
excitement that followed the avowed
intention of the board to have sepa-
rate schools for certain pupils.
For one thing it was decided to
rent house at once to be used as a
school for the children of the Fourth
Ward until the regular school build
ing now in the course of construction
| is completed. This school is greatly
needed and the renting of a house and
the opening of the school in tempo
rary quarters will be generally APP
| plauded.
At the meeting Friday night three
teachers were elected, two of them
being negroes.
Mrs. Sanford was elected to take
charge of the extra room in the Hardy
street school which will be ready by
next week when the seats have ar
rived and been put in place.
Another matter that came up fol
quite a discussion was the custom O
people. out of town sending thei
children into the city to live with re
latives during the school terms so al
to get the benefit of the city schools
without paying for their tuition
To do away with this custom it ha
been decided to have parties who ar
suspected of sending children T.
school under these circumstances t
make an affidavit that the childrel
are bona fide members of their fan
lily and not imported for the purpos
of going to school.
Formerly all the parties were r.
: quired to do was to sign a simple ce
tificate but under this new systeI
: they will have to make sworn a
fidavit and that will make the matte
take a different phase.

THE DECAY OF SENTIMENT
People Of To-day, According TO Writer,
Pride Themselves on Lack Of
tie Possession.

Sentiment is dying out. II is re-
served now for the travelling Ameri-
can; but the ordinary English man
or woman boasts that he or she does
not possess it, as though it were
some disease.
Yet the root of all great virtues
is sentiment. Fidelity, patriotism,
self-sacrifice, honor, truthfulness are
founded on sentiment; and half the
heroes and heroines Of history re-
tain their places in our memory and
affections through sentiment. A
large party of ladies recently visited
one of the romantic haunts of Mary,
queen of Scots, sacred to her child
hood, and, like all her residences,
placed among the most picturesque
surroundings. One and all when
asked if they would like to pick a
spray from her garden answered
that they had no sentiment. Yet
several were descendants Of men who
had fought and died in her service
and preserved their mquestioning
devotion to the end.
Are I've the better for this lack Of
sentiment9 Does it make us wiser
and stronger? Or, rather, does it
not tap the foundations Of our char
acter and leave us disillusioned, sad,
hopeless and aimless lady Violet
