CHINESE EXCLUSION
IN VICTORIA SCHOOLS
VICTORIA (B. c. Colonist:

VICTORIA o. CD COlOnlSt:
The school board will stand firm in
it's resolution to exclude Chinese I'M
able to take the ordinary courses Of
study from the schools. No persons
will be permitted to attend the city
schools unless they are conversant
enough of English to be amenable to
school discipline and to permit of their
taking the ordinary courses of study.
Such was the resolution adopted at
a special meeting of the school board
called yesterday afternoon to receive
the report of the chairman, George
Jaw. with regard to his interview with
Premier Mcbride and the members OF
the provincial government. AS pre-
viously announced in the Colonist, Mr..
Jay was delegated to take up with the
government the crisis which has been
brought about by the influx of Chinese
who, by attending the schools for
twelve months, obtain a rebate of their
$500 head tax.
The acting minister of education,
Hon. r. G. TatlOw subsequent to the
interview wrote informing the board
that the matter would be brought to
the attention Of the Dominion govern
ment and the opinion expressed to
them that these China boys We're not
students under the Chinese exclusion
act.
Mr.. Jay submitted the correspond
ence in reference to the matter. 1t
included his letter to the department,
and the reply, his letter to the collector
of customs and the reply of the latter.

THE WORRIED WOMEN. a.

They say men must work ana
women must weep; but alas, in
this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. It makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in while she has
spells of palpitation and has to
lie up for day or two. If some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles of the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
oVArladen woman rest as much
as possible; and, above all, place
at her command a bottle of
