the rural schools improved, it is under
stood. That means that better roads
must be had first, for good country
schools can only be secured after good
roads. There must be consolidation Of
the rural schools, and transportation
of the pupils for considerable distances
at public expense. All this is impos-
.sible with impossible roads
1t appears that more of the com
missions correspondents want impro--
ed schools than demand better roads.
They are getting the cart before the
horse. Roads are a necessary prelimi-
nary to schools, and the commission
VIII doubtless make this plain in It's
report.
That the farmers have no basic OBJ
lection to being uplifted a bit would
seem demonstrated By the fact that the
commission has received 10000 letters
from them, with suggestions and pro
posals for making the work useful and
effective

to regard the position Of the express
men as fatuOus or farcical.
Alas, that phiIanthrophy should be so
unfortunately misinterpreted! 1t used
to be said that the corporations had
no soul; but in the case of the ex-
press men we find corporations con
Quoting their business as a purely
philanthropic enterprise, solely to ac-
commodate the business man at nOmi-
nal rates and to give employment TO
hundreds of clerks, who otherwise, we
suppose, would be engaged in some
mischief. If the express men asked
for a little more doubtless they pur-
posed to increase their contribution to
foreign missions.
If the merchants win, we suppose che
Philanthropists viii have to 60 out of
the express business. And at the
thought Of this we can hear a sound
from the direction of the merchants
which may he either a giggle or a sob
we can't tell which.

CHRISTMAS WEEK, THE TIME
OF CHEER AND HOPE.

Before this week ends there viii have
been observed in most lands what
Christians have agreed upon as the an
niversary of the birth of the Saviour
1t is not necessary to believe it the
exact anniversary, so far as calendars
go now OF ever did go. 1t is, none the
less, the anniversary
What is bOrnf Good is bOTn-the
good that warns the heart is born 1T
Christmas and will be born at this and
every Christmas TO come many times
over. Hope, charity-forbearance and
forgiveness, friendship and truth, the
fraternity of spirit, viii be DO a in mil
lions of hearts-not for the first time
in some nor for the last in some, vet
perhaps for the first in many.
The green Of the tree, the laughter
of the child, the sport, the holly, the
cheer and the joy-the Pent and the bent
emotions Of mankind viii this week re
lease themselves and be born again,
for near the two thousandth time. And
every one may-and most of us will
share in the Joy at their birth.
Merry Christmas week Let us all
be happy

A SMILE OVER THE CAPITALS
OBJECTS OF INTEREST.

One OF our out-of town contem-
poraries has a quiet laugh because a
Washington boarding school groups to-
gethcr the following objects of inter
est" for its girls to see:
The tomb of washington, z. II.
Sothern. the National Capitol ALA
NaZimOVa. the Fish Commission, Otis
skinner, the Mor6Ue, John Drew, the
Geological Gardens. the Ben Greet
Players. and so on down the line, tax
Ing in the Smithsonian Institution.
Arlington Cemetery. and a monastery
OF Franciscan monks
Well. we can smile over that our
selves. But smiling Is not always a
sign of mere amusement. We read OF
the tomb of Washington, the National
Capitol, the Fish Commission, the
Smithsonian, Arlington, and score Of
other objects of interest" with =
realization that they are peculiar to
Washington. No other city can offer
TO students any superior educational
advantages and no other city can equal
the opportunity which Washington pro-
vides for that phase of general culture
bound up in study of the Government
of which the American is to be an
integcr. That Is one of the reasons
why this city Is not only the Capital
Of the United States, but has become
also the undisputed Capital of the Ma
tion's boarding schools.
The Washington times., 1908-12-23
WHAT THE SNOW MEANS FOR
OUR CHRISTMAS.

A fiue Christmas SNOW has complet-
ed the setting for the holidays. If 1t
lasts over Friday, Washington will
have had every opportunity for a per
feet Yuletide. Tho wreaths IN our
windows, the holly hung over pictures
and doorways, the mistletOe with which
to catch the sweet girl cousin (who is,
of course, wholly unawares), are not
more reflective of the season than the
frame of white hills which today en-
circles the city, or the boughs laden
with white which decorate the streets
and parks outside far more beautifully
than ever we can decorate the rooms
and halls inside
But the snow has achieved some
thing more It has added greatly 10
the need for thoughtfUlness on your
part and ours The problems of deliv-
cry before our Washington merchants
and postal employees were difficult
enough Yesterday morning They are
tenfold more difficult today. Roads
must be broken. horses will slip and
fall, hours of delivery will stretch into
the late evening, and men and boys
prepared to work until they can hardly
drag ono foot after the other will now
have the dragging TO do.
At such a season as this, surely we
can all help these horses and boys and
men. Surely VIC can all pause a MO.
mcnt, even in the rush Of the last day
before Christmas but one, and ask our
selves what we can do.
And we can do much-for the mer-
chants if not for the letter carriers
We can make sure of the delivery of
our smaller parcels in good time, we
can tighten the work of these delivery
men and their helpers most helpfully if
we are only willing to carry home IN
our own arms all that we can carry
comfortably. Let's make that tOday's
Tesolve-that we will be our own de-
liverymen as far as we cant Let's
make that Christmas present to our
brothers of the delivery wagons Let's
make 1t mean something for us, our
selves, when we sing in our hearts

PHILANTHROPISTS WHO SEEM
TO BE Misunderstood.

Evidently the business men of the
New England capital do not like the
taste of the milk Of human Kindness.
Some time ago they petitioned the
Railroad Commission to look into the
matter of express rates in and around
Boston. The commission found the
rates 10 be Excessive and unreason-
able and 1t recommended a favorable
readjustment- The express men made
answer that they were even then max
ing no money. The counsel for the
merchants, in his argument before the
commission, remarked that If this were
true, then the express men were doing
business in a childish way. He seemed

THINGS A COMMISSION ON
CITY LIFE WOULD FIND.

In time perhaps there VIII be Com
mission on City Life appointed for the
purpose Of ascertaining what can be
done TO improve the social opportUni-
ties and intellectual pleasures Of those
who, under present conditions, find city
life not only a drudgery, but a constant
vexation.
The farmer, after all, seems TO be
fairly well of. OF course, he wants
something. Yes" says President
Adams, of the Maine Dairy Association,
replying to the Commission on Country
Life, everybody wants the parcels
post" But the parcels post will come
sooner or later, without doubt, and not
withstanding the antagonism of the
greedy express men; and then the
farmer will have TO look around TO see
if he wants anything else
Mr.. Adams also SAYS that the farm
er's wife is the most hard worked
woman in the world" Mr.. Adams
should come to the city and see the
thousands of women who get up early
in the morning, start the fire, cook the
boss breakfast, dress the children who
are going TO school, feed the baby, wash
the dishes, make the beds, mend and
scrub for an hour or two, get dinner
Ior three, four or five hungry ones whose
appetite (neaven bless it!) is seldom
or never at fault, clean the dishes over
again, feed t.r baby once more, do
some more stitching and picking up,
keep an eve on the children out playing
with others who, like themselves. are
not averse TO engaging in mischief, get
the third meal, get rid of the dishes for
the third time, put the little ones to
bed, often Worrying over their scratches
and colds, and then-and then sew some
buttons on waists and pull a rip to-
gether IN Johnny's trousers before,
weary in body and soul, she drops off
into a fitful sleep with the cares of an
other day already approaching to take
the place of those Just disposed Of
There is the drudgery, coming day
after day; and on top of tuis Is the

HO, for the spirit OF Christmas din;
Deep in the closets and under the stair,
Hiding the packages everywhere

Into the closet on tfppity toes.

Bright eyes a-twinkle, there she is.

Lips of child laughter and patter Of

Hiding the presents-Love, hide me the
bliss
OF dreams Of sweet childhood when
