 With this end in view social and informal discourse and intercourse should be encouraged in the meetings, and not only should the teachers be Introduced to and mingle with the pa- irons but where the members of tha association are not well acquainted some one should be appointed to in- troduce them to each other.
 School improvement associations are founded upon two principles which, of those that are essential for the de- velopment of the best type of human beings. are among the most potent in their influence upon character and morals and they are--independenee and self-help and service for theirs; there fore such an association cannot fail to be beneficial to the individual.
 Nothing adds more to the material and spiritual uplift of a community than good schools. People of the best sort. the go-ahead and build up kind who help and do not hinder. who are a credit to any place in which they live will neither come to nor stay in any locality that offers no educa- tlonal advantage for their children.
 
 modern educators. expressed the idea that education Is Q business. the mak- ing of useful and moral citizens is it's purpose and the school Is the work shop. No business can be properly conducted in an unsuitable, badly fur nished workshop. Therefore a good school means a house suitable in char acter and surroundings, furnished with everything necessary for carrying on the business. including teachers who are capable of transforming the raw material of childhood into the most de- sirable finished product and that is-- the best sort of citizens, man or wo- man.
 The best teachers and all the tools needed for the best modern education are not too good for the children who are soon to take their place in the community as fathers, mothers, neigh bors and friends.
 The child destined for this eommu- nity life has a divine right to the best preparation for 1.-the best that can be provided by the united efforts of the community
 Are the rights of the children in your district being looked after?
 Are the best interests of the entire population being conserved and is the school the best that can be provided7 If not those of you who are public spirited and high minded. who look up and not down, forward and not back. should get together as soon as possible and organize a school im- provement association. and having done so it should go on from year to year making better school houses and sur roundings. drawing to 1t more and ] more children and grown nA@"i~ ~'N@

It was contended In support of the prosecution that eggs laid by cocks were of inestimable worth for use in certain magical preparations: that d sorcerer would rather possess a cocks egg than the elixir of life. and that Satan employed witches to hatch such eggs. from which proceeded winged serpents most dangerous to mankind
 The prisoners advocate admitted the facts of the case. but contended that no evil intention had been proved and that no evil result had taken place. Besides. the laying of an egg was an involuntary act, and as such was not punishable by law. Also there was no record of the devil having made a compact with an animal. The public prosecutor stated in reply that the evil one sometimes entered Into anfmaIs, as In the case of the swine. which drowned themselves in the Sea oR Galilee.

INpEcTmENT or ANIMALS.

Jurtspruaence of Middle Ages Recalled
 By Odd New Jersey Ordinance.
 New York Evening Post.
 Monclair's new ordinance against barking dogs has some resemblance to a singular feature of the jurispru- dence of the Middle Ages, when ani- nals were indicted for injuries inflict- ed on human beings. The custom was not abolished in France until the mid dle of the eighteenth century. and the French court records show that at least n.nety-two such trials took place between it20 and TAI.
 An carly instance of the custom was in 1874. when a bull escaped from a farm yard in a village of Noisy. in the Duchy of valois, and gored q man to death. The Count of Valois. being informed of the case, directed that the bull be captured and formally prose cuted for homicide. This was done, and evidence was given by persons who had seen the man attacked and killed The bull was thereupon sen fenced to suffer death. which was in- flicted by strangulation. after which the carcass was suspended from a tree by the hind legs.
 Tn 1886 a SOW was executed In the square of Falaise for having caused the death Of a child. and three years later a horse was condemned to death at Dijon for having killed man. In 1457 a SOW and her six young ones wsro tried at Lavegny on the charge Of having killed and partially eaten a child. The SOW was convicted and condemned to death, but the little ones were acquitted on the ground of their extreme youth and inexperienee. the bad example of their mother, and the absence of direct evidence of their having partaken of the atrocious feast.
 One of the most grotesque of these trials took place at Basic. when a farm yard cock was tried on the ab- surd charge of having laid an egg.

Paper Bags.

Recent fgures show that the retail grocers in the United States consume annually s12.O0o.OoO worth of paper bags-a showing the more remarkable when 1t Is copsidered that fifty years ago there was not single paper-bag factory in the land. Somebody has to pay, of course. but with modern ma chine methods the cost of paper bags is not much greater than that of the paper used, and the saving of time and the increase in convenience to the con sumer make this development more im- portant to the public at large than many more showy modern improve ments.

 Bridgeport Telegram.
 Nevertheless 1t is a pity that trees which are not In the way of public im- provements should be ruthlessly de- stroyed or suffered to perish by inches. They take long to grow. and all cities which have offered their trees as a sac rifice to the march of innovation have found themselves obliged to endeavor to replace the greenery which they were so anxious to abolish. The archi- lecture of most New England towns is commonplace and incongruous, and Bridgeport is no exception to the rule. Wood and paint easily grow shabby and need the softening influences of green boughs. A New England resi- dence street which has been denuded of It's trees is a painful spectacle under seorching summer suns. Such treeiess waste are a poor advertisement for n city and property interests, if nothing higher should prevent them from be- coming too common.

MARYLANO.S PARI.

Under the editorial caption MARY
land Is Showing Its Faith BY It's
Works, the Baltimore Sun. referring
to the efforts being made in this state
to stop the ravages Of tuberculosis,
says:
The generous gift of Mrs. George H.
Beckwith is a fresh evidence Of the
deep interest Of Marylanders in the
movement to check the spread Of tu-
berculosis Mrs. Beckwith offers to
the United States Government two con
siderable tracts Of land one at Saranac
Lake, New York, and the other near
Aiken, S. Con which to build model
sanitoria to care for tuberculosis
sufferers who are unable to pay the
high prices required in private institu-
tons.
The unselfsh devotion of Mrs. Beck
with to the cause is shown by the fact
that these lands were bought for her
own private estates winter home
near AK n and d summer home in the
New York lake region. But she gives
up these luXurics in order to devote the
properties to The relief OF the poor.
From the beginning Maryland has
been in the forefront of the movement
to stamp out the white plague. Both
the State and the city of Baltimore
have in legislation and by appropriation
aided in the establishment Of modern
institutions for the treatment of the
disease; and private individuals like
Mr.. Victor G. Bloede, Mr.. Jacob Ep-
stein, Mrs Nelson Perrin and others
have given large sums to establish spe-
cial features in sanatoria
The farm colony at Eudowood is the
first of its kind and will doubtless lead
to the adoption of the same system in
other sections of the country.
The entire nation and a good part Of
the world are at last aroused to the
dangers of tuberculosis and the nee
essity of systematic action to check the
ravages Of the disease Maryland has
not only given its voice and its pen to
arouse the American people to the
danger and point out the way to rehef,
but it has in very practical way gone
to work practicing what it has preached
and showing its faith 10y its worf S.
