WRAPPING GIFTS.

A new way Of doing up gifts which will
please all, and particularly delight the
children, is to use white tissue paper for
wrappers, and, instead of tying with rib
bon, fasten the paper in place by using
small seals over the edges where they are
folded down The seals come specially
for the purpose and are decorated with
tiny sprays of holly. II you are sending
off a Christmas box put a layer of white
tissue paper or white cotton on top of the
packages, and over this sprigs of holly
or mistletoe.

Idenln ns Deedn.

Sohe would say that that teacher
was right. The majority would sniff
and declare that she was too idealistie,
and a few thinking mes would aver
thdr she was both.
We should all have ideals, ideals that
we can live up to, not gossamer crea-
tions too lofty to be associated with our
everyday life.
Better a practical resolve to make
the best of every day as it comes, than
q beautiful dream of what we intend
to be some day.
Place your ideal where you can reach
1t by a little climbing, and then climb.
When you have II almost in you grasp
place 1t a little higher and climb again
DO not separate entirely you ideas
of what you can do and what you
would like to be able to accomplish.

HONEY
WITH HOT CAKES.

If you have been accustomed to throw
ing away the core and parings from your
p%ineapples, says the December Delineator,
stop doing this and make the following
excellent substitute for honey: Take the
cores and parings from the fruit; owe
with cold water and let them stand over
night. In the morning bring the mixture
to a boil and sock for several minutes;
then strain through cheesecloth, return TO
the fire and boil about ten minutes longer.
about three minutes. The result should be
a clear, dmber-eolored syrup. 1t will prove
delicious when served with hot cakes.

or rather Of b-ecomingness or suitableness.
For cold weather there were so

sleeve Is seen more often than any of the
more elaborate styles.

trict. Or. Chancellor presents the follow
ing changes:
ITO vest in the board of education
power (al to select school sites; Cb) TO en-
ploy a school architect; (c) to accept or to
reject plans for construction and repairs
Id to employ a superintendent for re-
pairs; (e) to contract for buildings, re-
pairs, and supplies: % 20 hold its own
funds as appropriated by Congress;
go TO employ a treasurer and auditor;
(h) to report direct 20 Congress. Even on
the foregoing basis. the District board OF
education would have less power than
the city boards of education and of
school estimates In New York. and often
elsewhere"
His second suggestion is the establish
ment of a board of associate superintend-
ents of eight persons, at salaries of $4,000
each, with the general superintendent the
ninth member and chairman, abolishing
all other superintendencies and all the d.
rectoTships Of high, intermediate, pri-
mary, and kindergarten instruction.
Need for Greater Powers.
The third suggestion Is the establish
ment of group principalships; the fourth
Is the establishment Of suvervisorships;
the fifth that of heads Of departments;
the sixth the raising of the salaries OF
high and normal school principals. The
seventh suggestion is that board of ex-
aminers, consisting of five persons, for
both white and colored schools, all mem
bers excepting the secretary to be nomi-
mated by the superintendent. The eighth
suggestion Is the abolshment Of kinder
garten assistants in classes with less than
thirty-five pupils The ninth is the en-
ployment OF six attendance officers. and
the tenth is that Of the opening OF the
salary schedule in elementary schools tC

strong. and able A better board under
this act and with this policy could hardly
be selected in Washington or in any other
city. The difficulty is not with the board,
but with its lack OF powers.
WOuId Dispense with Board.
Then DR.. Chancellor after speaking OF
Washington. which he calls the most
prominent city In the new world. and the
,easons why education in that city should
be the best, closes with a hope and be-
lief that change will be brought about
shortly. He says that sooner or later the
District will receive autonomy Of some
sort. if it be only partial autonomy.
THE fight for good schools" he says, is
but the skirmish in this battle for Amer
lean institutions at the Capital"
Wanting self-government, the only
other solution of the troubles in the
schools is 10 abolish the board, this last
semblance OF self-government. this incon-
gruous, anomalous survival Of former lib
critics. and to govern the schools by an
educational commissioner. nominated by
the President and confirmed by the Sen
ate like the other Commissioners"
