Contrivance That Is Useful and Can

A pretty holder such as this is not only useful for keeping magazines and papers in, but it is really an orna- ment in a room. Of course, it re- quires a little care in making, but any handy man could cut and fix the wooden foundation. The feet must, of course, be in moderately firm wood, but the thinnest wood or even stout

 Remember, it is the corset makes the figure. Keep trying until it makes a good one.
 A fifty-dollar corset badly put on Is about as useful as silver harness with worn-out girtGs.

MIR. SHAW ON SOUP HOUSES.
Points Out Worthless Laborers and
Engineless Cars = Former
Secretary Talks.

Former Secretary Of the Treasury
Shaw, in Michigan last spring, made
interesting comment on panics as fol-
lows:
"Over 100000 freight cars standing
empty on the tracks; 5000 locomotives
out of commission: one-quarter of the
population of several large cities idle,
and for the first time in Republican
administration, free soup houses"
Hide Must Go With the Hair.
In Secretary Shaw's case, the hide
must go with the hair; that is, his
comment on economic conditions must
be taken zen semble," as the theatri-
cal critics say. His sOundness on bank
guarantee must accompany equally
sound opinion on other mooted ques-
tions. Now that Mr.. Taft, against
whom Mr.. Shaw labored has been
nominated. Mr.. Shaw might obtain
leave TO "extend his remarks in the
record" and embellish his terse state
ment relative to soup houses.
He will easily overcome Democratic
objection, and perhaps can get unani-
meus consent, under the rules.

Boards of Education May
Be Fined For Neglect of
Duty.

Public schools were established
and maintained for public good,
for the good of the whole commun-
ity and the whole state. The
history of civilization shows clear
ly that all nations, both anc lent
and modern, as a national policy
educated the ruling classes,
and when the ruling few, as in
monarchies, was shifted to the
people, the masses as in Domo-
cracies, the same policy would
show that the masses, the people
should be educated. The lite, the
perpetuity of the state n Demo.
cracy depends upon this. This
work is too valuable to be trusted
to private enterprise SO the public
school as an institution, controlled
by the public and supported at
public expense, has been establish
ed for the whole people-not a
party, society. church or clique.
The Ordinance Of 1887 declared,
"That religion, morality and
knowledge being necessary for
good government and the happi.
ness os mankind. schools and the
means of education shall forever
be ncouraged.
The contltntion of Ohio, Sec.
2, Art vi, says, "The General
Assembly shall make such pro
visions by taxation or otherwise,
as with the income arising from
the school trust fund, will secnre
a thorough and efficient system of
common schools throughout the
state.''
These fundamental principals
form the basis of the common
school system, including the right
of public taxation for it's support.
The mandate of the people in
commanding the General Assembly
to make provisions for thorough
and efficient system of common
schools throughout the state, as
one means it decided to have
representatives or instructed
agents in every school district.
Assuming that the people would
be intelligentIy and sincerely
interested in the education of the
children of their respective COM
munities. The General Assembly
gave them instructions through
the laws of the state how to select
such representatives of the Gener-
alAssembly known as Boards of
Education, but the General Assem-
bly, retained the right to instruct
such representatives IN the dis.
charge of their duties, as their
representatives.. This indicates
clearly that Boards of Education
are not the Legislature, nor courts,
but creatures of the General
Assembly. Their most important
duty is obedience to the instruc-

tions of the General Assembly, the
school laws Of the state. Their
discretionary rights are limited by
the laws of the state both express
ed and implied. A full realiza-
tion Of what Board of Educa.
tion really is would avoid many
hindrances in public educational
work. A better understanding Of
the school laws by boards, teach
ers and citizens would be very
helpful to all and result in more
intelligent cooperation.
IMPORTANT SCHOOL LAWS.
The last General Assembly re-
vised Sec. 1896, requiring all
Boards of Education to make pro-
visions to continue every school at
least Thirty two weeks each year
and imposed fine of not more
than fifty dollars nor less than
twenty-five dollars as penalty on
each member of the Board causing
such neglect of duty.
MINIMUM SALARY AND STATE AID
The law providing that no teach
ar in the state shall he cmplOved
| to teach u public school for less
than forty dollars month also
provides that il school district
ia not able to pay forty dollars a
month for eight months after the
Board of Education has levied
twelve mills, not counting any
mileage voted by the people, and
nine mills of this being for the tut
tion, that the deficit will be paid
from the state treasury. The state
showed it's sincerity in this by
making an appropriation of $45,-
900 last year for this purpose. No
excuse is left to any Board of Ed
ucation for not having eight
months of school. Teachers need
not hesitate to trust the state for
the deficit on the $500 after the
Boards have complied with the
law. The parents of the district
should see that the law is enforced.
The children are entitled to good
common school education. The
country children are entitled to
fair educational chance with their
village cousins.
AN INTERESTING CIRCUIT COURT DECI-
SION.
A teacher In Aid township, Law
renee county, O., signed written
contract with the Board of Educa-
tion, not to present her certificate
of institute attendance, nor to de-
mand or accept pay for institute
attendance. This case was taken
to court, and the Circuit court held
that the Board of Education
should pay for the institute at
tendance on the grounds that the
Board of Education and the teach
or were not private parties in an
ordinary contract, but that the
Board of Education was doing
business for the public, and such
contracts were contrary to public
policy. That the state has pro-
vided for teachers Institutes as
means of improving the efficiency
of the public schools and any con-
tract that prevents teachers from
attending institutes or tends to
discourage them from availing
themselves of the advantages of
the Institutes are contrary to pub.
lie policy.
This decision afflrms the theory
that Boards of Education are not
granted the same rights Of cen
tract private corporation have,
but that Boards of Education are
instructed agents of the General
Assembly to carry into force the
provisions Of the General Assem-
bly, for public education.

Mystery That Puzzled Jacksonville, N.
j., Is Solved by Citizens.

New York.-For several weeks per.
sons living on the outskirts of Jack
sonville, N. j., have taken a wide de-
tour after nightfall to avoid passing
an empty house on the abandoned
farm formerly occupied by Joseph
Holloway. The house had the reputa-
tion of being haunted. At night those
who ventured near to the building
heard strains Of weird music emanat-
ing from the interior, and other
strange sounds aided in creating the
impression that ghosts tenanted the
dismal looking structure.
Bolder spirits of the village finally
decided that they would solve the
mystery of the haunted house. Jacob
Growther, Charles Spangler and Mi
chael Doremus formed committee Of
investigation. The trio approached
the haunted house about nine o'clock.
AS they neared the building their ears
were greeted by the uncanny music
that had alarmed the timid wayfarers.

courage was bolstered up by the deter
mined demeanor of his companions.

He led the way in through the open
door. The strange music led them
into what was formerly the kitchen
A strange form loomed up before them
and a hollow rattle Of the board floor
marked the sudden termination of the
music.
Under the glare of the light the
mystery was solved. The ghost"
was an old mule belonging to Abra-
ham Wallen, farmer. AS the men
gazed on the startled mule the music
started again, and the investigators
then learned how 1t originated. The
hairless tail of the mule beat rapidly
over wires that the former occupants
Of the house had left on the Kitchen
window. Every time the mule switched
his tail the wires gave forth a sound
like some one strumming on harp.
Now Jacksonville breathes easier.
