Co. Supt. Jaramillo, in a letter
dated December 22, informs US
that we were misinformed when
we stated that the Willard Schools
had been closed by two of the di-
rectors acting upon his advice.
He claims to have known nothing
of the difficulty until after the
schools had been closed, which
action was taken after the two
directors had consulted with one
Of the local physicians, who
thought the schools ought to be
closed as a precautionary meas
ure to prevent a spread of scarlet

Christmas Dau.

There are no definite illusions
in the writings Of any of the dis
ciples of Christ as to the date of
His birth, nor has there ever been
produced proof Of any character
as to the exact period in the year
when Christ was born. There are,
very occasional references to the
event in the scriptures, indicat-
ing that the nativity occurred in
the winter season.
The institution of the ami
versary dates back to the second
century of Christendom, and it
has been since uniformly celebra-
ted by nearly all branches of the
Christian church with appropri-
ate rejoicing and ceremonies.
The frequent and somewhat heat
ed controversies, however, rela
tive to the date of Christ's birth
early in the fourth century led
Pope Julius l, to order a thorough
investigation of the subject by
the learned theologians and his
torians of that period, which re-
suited in an agreement upon De-
cember 25, and that decision
seemed to have so settled all
disputes that that date was uni
versally accepted by the Greek
church. While this date was
never changed, the reckoning of
it is made according to the Grego-
riafi calendar, which was adopted
in the latter part of the sixteenth
century, and upon which nations
have since rested. Am. Queen.

TAKING b16 Census

If there remains in the mind
of any one a lingering doubt of
The wisdom Of Congress in max
ing the Census Office a permanent
bureau, il should be dispelled by
a perusal of the director S report,
just issued.
All the more by contrast with
some other departments Of the
government, the Census Bureau
shines as an example Of efficiency
and economical administration
in The handling Of a great public
work Heretofore, because Of the
Increase in population from one
decade to another, each new cen
5Qs has cost about one half more
than that which Immediately
preceded it. That which will be
taken in 1910, however, the di-
re tor estimates will cost little if
any more than the one taken ten
years AGO, and this in spite of the
fact that there has not only been
ade usual increase in population,
but an especially large increase
among immigrants. a class diff
ut and expensive to enumerate.
This great saving about six
million dollars is directly due to
the fact that the bureau is now a
permanent organization, which
has been brought to a high state
# efficiency. There will be no
loss Of time in getting started, or
reaking in and trying out of
green clerks, no testing Of new
5ystcns Moreover, a new type
u taduhting- machines, devised
aud built by the bureau, will be
il Use. In the past the govern
inant has rented machines for
this purpose, but an inability to
a.fee as to price with the com
oany which owned them led 10
he invention and building Of
other machines, which have been
found to DO the work better and
more oheaply
It is hoped also that Congress
VIII make it possible to pay the
operators Of these machines by
piece work instead Of by the day,
az thai will still further reduce
The cost.
The director recommends that,
af the siXty-fve thousand enrm-
ra5ors who viii be necessary
for the next census, as many as
possible be taken from education
al Institutions, and that women
IS well as men be employed.
