cessful weeks business in the history
OF the popular theatre, closed last
night, and the houses which have
booked the three excellent acts for
the coming week which Messrs. Nc
Intyre and Vucovicn have served to
their patrons during the week are in
deed fortunate in securing them.
In criticiSing the work of the three
teams-the Fayne Sisters, the Vag-
gies and Herbert and Vance-who so
delighted the large audiences attend
ing every performance from last Mon
days matinee until the closing show
last night, IL would indeed be unjust

acts was of an order par excellence
in stage parlanoe. classy TO the
last degree. To specially mention the
Fayne Sisters misses Edna and
FTederica) however, is irresistible.
Indeed they deserve il, FOR the very
sufficient reason that no cleveTer, iol-
lieT, better looking sister team has
ever appeared on the Orpheum stage
than they. Quiet, modest, refined in
their conduct. both of these young Ia
dies made an excellent impression
with OTpheum patrons and will with
out doubt be greatly missed by them
The bill booked for the coming
week is regarded by Manager VucO-
vlch as one of the strongest, if not
the strongest, booked by him since
the Orpheum opened and the week

ADJUSTMENTS
Good Bill at The Biiou.


The popular Bij0u theatre has an
excellent bill for the coming week,
and tomorrow will also mark a de-
partuFe made necessary by the de-
mands of the public fOT a change
from regular vaudeville at al perform
ances. Hereafter the afternoon will
be devoted to an exhibition of very
high-clasS moving pictures, many OF
the films being imported from Paris,
ard are known as -ffrst-run" pictures,
which insures them to be the finest
procurable. These viii be shown
from to each afternoon instead of
vaudeville.
Commencing at o'clock the Bijou
will present its excellent vaudeville
bill. A feature attraction is little Joe
ZainO, a midget, and known as the
smallest magician in the world. He
must be seen to be appreciated, and
there is no doubt after the first night
the BijOu will be packed with those
eager to see the little fellow perform.
Another star attraction on the bill
is Mr.. and Mrs. Deagan in Dutch
comedy. They are high class perform
ers, and will cause many a laugh at
the Bijou during the week. The man
agen:ent desires to impress upon the
public that the afternoons will be de-
voted exclusively to the high class
moving pictures.

Fate of the Boys.
~ U W y 7 ?
10 ST Ionls Star.

From the st. Louis Star.
There are nearly a million boys each
year who terminate their school life and
go to work to earn a living. The majority
of them are poorly equipped for their life
work by what they have learned in school.
Their education is along such lines that II
they are able to continue it long enough
they make fair bank clerks, stenosraph-
ers, etc. but poor carpenters and plumb
ers or any other skilled laborer.
The question Is, shall the effort to give
boys a practical industrial education be
left to totally Inadequate private en-
deavor, or shall the public educational sys-
tenn be as interested in fitting the youth
Of the country for skilled mechanical
trades as It now is in equipping them for
a life behind the counter or an office
chair?
The establishment Of manual training
courses in connection with some public
school systems is evidence that public edu
Gators realize that mechanical as well as
academic education is legitimate public
effort, but such courses have not yet beer
placed on a practical basis.

OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM.

IT HE Delmar News is pleased with the re-
h suit of the school election in that town.
1t says that "common-sense business men of
mature, sound judgment were chosen to handle
the reins of the school government and we have
doubt that they will do their best to bring
the schools back to their former standard" The
News adds that the schools OF the town have
fallen behind and that the present system is
wrong. The News points out the responsibility
OF the local authorities in connection with school
matters If the schools are to serve the pur-
pose for which they were intended, it is 'up to-
the local commissioners. In the management
of its schools Delaware differs from Maryland
in which State the education of the masses is
controlled by a set Of politicians appointed by
tho Governor.
The Delmar papers complaint calls TO mind
the fact that we have frequently noticed COM
ments expressing dissatisfaction over the man
agement Of the schools in the rural counties.
The other day we mentioned the criticism Of
the Milford Chronicle. and some time since one
of the Georgetown papers spoke disparagingly
of the schools. WhiNis the matter? Evidently
Deaware's system az public education should
be investigated to q ANhether the cause of COM
. r'9aiF4t -eanfiet be removed.
We are spending thousands of dollars on edu-
cation and the State should get the worth OF
its money. We should certainly have the best
system OF public education obtanable. In towns
like Delmar much, of course, depends upon the
principal OF the schools. He is, in fact, or should
be, the whole show. When principal IS
chosen he should be capable of making out a
comprehensive plan for the conduct of the
schools and should advise with the commission
ers He is supposed TO know more about cdu-
catonal methods than a set of bright business
men could know They have not the time prop
erly to keep up with the advances made in edu-
cational work They look TO the principal TO do
all this with the commissioners merely eNercs-
ing an oversight and giving advice that might
be needed from a practical and business point
OF view. But the chief burden is upon the prin-
oipa
If the results are not obtained, it is the duty
OF the commissioners TO secure new principal
In this day il seems to us that teaching sue.
cess depends more than ever upon the individual
effort and skill of the instructor. Some OF the
text books used in the schools are worthless
and unless a teacher supplement the tex
books many child has poor chance OF becom
ing well-informed or properly instructed.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

A AMENDMENT Of the national constitution
( of late years has been considered extreme
iy difficult Recently in the Senate some Of the
Senators declared that it would be impossible
to get three-fourths of the states to >ratify,
through their Legislatures, an amendment to
the constitution giving the government power 10
levy an income tax
The question of whether the income fax
amendment can be adopted will be put to the
test if the House follows the Senates action
Many observers believe that with Taft's indorse-
ment the amendment will go through but there
will be,many ways OF fighting it. TO make sure
candidates for the Legislature will have to be
pledged individually TO support the income tax.
Probably most of the Western and Southern
States will vote for the income tax amendment,
II they have the opportunity, and there is no rea-
son why a considerable number of Eastern
States should not support it, although the East
ern States are commonly regarded as being op-
posed to the tax.
In Delaware, there would be very few persons
affected BY an income tax if the exemption were
as high as suggested in the income tax proposals
that have been talked of in the Senate.

MccLELLAN,s Future.

R EHIND the removal of Police Commission
~ er Bingham, of New York, there is said
to be a scheme looking far into the political
future. Tammany and the other New York
Democrats according to this story wish that
the next Democratic candidate for President
shall be nominated from New York State. They
want the Western and radical wing of the Dem
ocratc party buried. They see possibilities for
Mayor Mcclellan The Mayor has made peace
with Tammany the expectation being it is said,
that he will be nominated by the Democrats
for Governor Of New York Should Mcclellan
by any chance be nominated and elected, he
would Immediately loom up as a formidable
candidate for the Democratic nomination for
President. This is in line with the possbi-
ties
Justice Gaynor according to the program, is
10 be named for Mayor of New York. 1t is a
pretty plan and worth working for. But if
the Democrats fail to carry New York at the
city election next autumn the entire scheme will
be knocked into a cooked hat. Before the re-
moval of Bingham there was apathy among the
opposition to Tammany but the Mayors act has
aroused certain forces, people friendly to Bing-
ham, and their support has always been needed
to make the fights against Tammany in New
York city election effective Therefore lively
battle may be expected next autumn.
Should the New York Democratic conserva-
tives attempt to name the Presidential candidate
it is likely that the old contest of the Democratic
factions would be renewed. Colonel Bryan's
friends have already entered him in the lists for
fourth nomination. The radical sentiment IN
the West has not gone backward The debate
on the tariff bill at Washington has shown that
radicalism is still strong in the West-rather in
creasng in fact. The Bryan men are unlikely

termed "liberally educated" omitted the Bible
and Shakespeare When taken to task for the
omission, he replied that these books were left
off the list of twenty-five at the request of the
publisher who said that as every one reads the
Bible and Shakespeare those volumes should
not be included in the select number. 1t seems
after all that the selection of the books was made
for advertising purposes, the publisher desires
to exploit the volumes picked by the former
President of Harvard. We think the publisher
is wrong in his notion that everybody has read
is that comparatively few young people in this
day and generation are very familiar with either.

is a difference of conception as to what COM
