How were they to know that a dingy

this bent and twisted piece Of iron was
a primitive native weapon brought from
the wilds OF Africa by Some doughty
marine officer in the days. when the black
hulled slayers piled along the Senegam-
bian coast? How did they know that
this undnteresting piece Of woodwork or
metal was smuggled out Of China be-
fore that country was opened to the
world? And so the government has left
nothing but its legends. and no very

'On June s. 171o." the record runs. the
Continental Congress resolved that the

the present American Marine Corps was

That two battaions of marines be

he was confined in the old Center House.
That much tradition and history both
tell. And when the work Of razinS the
old building began, high on a hand-hewn
beam in rude carving was found the name
OF this federal prisoner.
Weary Of waiting in his confinement
the prisoner probably held his tallow dip
near the great rafters. when the night
was dark and when the guard outside
snatched fitful sleep. and carved his
name.
At present the whereabouts of the
beam or the owners Of 1t cannot be de-
termir led. for after 1t was removed from
the building it was seen one night and
the next morning had disappeared. At
the barracks they say It was spirited
away at the mitigation OF an agent for
a historical society. 1t Will probably re-
appear however.

relics as the Aaron Burr beam by the

A Socialistic School.

From the London Express.
"Our Duty to the Children was the
subject of a paper read by Mrs. Despard.
the suffragist leader. at the New Era
Sociological Society recently in London.
Mrs. Despard, who frankly informed her
audience that she had been a socialist for
years. sketched a golden age when par
ents could be brought to surrender all
claims to the child. who was not theirs
but the states. The mistake lies in the
fact that rich and poor parents do not
recognize. the fact that these children do
not belong to Them" she said. The child
belongs to the state and community
Books will be banished from the soeiaiis-
tic infant school. according to Mrs. Des-
pard's scheme. The children will have
large playrooms, shallow baths to exer-
else their limbs in water well as on
land and large sand courts. Doctors
will also be dispensed with. and inspect
ors will be paid for keeping the chill:
dren in health. their wages being docked
If illness breaks out. In the upper school
self-control application and reasoning
power will be taught to the youthful
scholars. Their sense OF hearing will be
trained by lovely music. and Mrs Des-
pard pictures the day when Mendelssohn
part songs will be heard in the streets on
bank holidays instead OF the, coster's
serenade to his ''donah." Very besutafuh
