Report to the Board of
Education.

The following is taken from the

Conference.-The closing the work
Of the school year | submit the fol-
lowing facts, statistics, suggestions and
recommendations:
The average daily attendance was
$50, the highest enrolment for one
month 433, the total enrolment FOL
the year was SCI, the total enrolment
for last year was 40, the increased
enrolment over last year was 81, the
total enrolment for boys was Isl, the
total enrolment for girls was 264.
There are more boys than girls be-
low the sixth grade, and Is less BOYS
than girls in the seventh and eighth
grades; 20 pupils attended less than
one month; 81 pupils attended less
than two months, 70 pupils attended
less than three months, 116 pupils at
tended less than 80 days or one-half
time, II pupils attended every day and
10 pupils missed not more than two
days.
Necessary migration of which there
is much in this western country, sick
ness and bad habits prevent about 30
per cent of those who enroll from
making their yearly grades.
Our pupils play out in the slush
and wet and catch colds. For much
Of the time they must stay in poorly
heated and poorly ventilated rooms or
play out on wet muddy and slushy
grounds. Is it any wonder that some
are sickly and fail to make their grades9
We need some sort of shed or play
room where they may exercise and at
the same time keep dry, or probably
two such rooms, one for the boys and
one for the girls.

datlons. That wood be sawed when

are just now being awakened to
the fact that the A.-Y.-P. does
actually amount to something.
Many persons in the effete East
laughed at the idea of there be-
ing a worlds fair in the wild and
woody West, but when those from
the far East have come and have
seen the best fair ever held in the
United States and have returned
and told the people through the
newspapers Of this wonderful pro-

take notice" Thousads of people
were under the impression that it
was only local affair, but such
false notions have been dissipated,
and the very best worlds fair

WISE AND OTHERWISE
JUNGLE ANCIL)

A long time ago the citizens of
this city were promised that the
telegraph and telephone wires
should be placed underground.
Months and years have passed
and yet the ugly-looking poles and
the wires are still "doing bust
ness at the old stand. " They
mar the beauty of the business
portion Of the city and are a nuis-
ance in general. 1t causes that
part of the city where they are
located to have the appearance of
an overgrown village. Pride

boozled by alleged promoters with
millions behind them seeking to
establish great plans at this city.
Nine cases out of ten they have
proved to be fakes for the pur-
pose of booming and selling real
estate. Twenty years ago mil
lion-dollar iron works were adj
vertised to be fully installed at
Kirkland; some machinery was
placed in position, enough to con-
vince the average person that the
enterprise was really going
through; real estate galore was
sold by the promoters at fabulous
prices, and as soon as the end
was accomplished the plant sub
sided and the few pieces of ma
chinery sold to parties unknown.
Several such projects have been
launched and all have ended in
smoke, but the sale Of real estate
only. A short time ago a million
dollar iron works was again pro-
jected at Kirkland and real estate
went up and hundreds of people
invested, but no iron or steel
works ever materialized. A hint
to the wise is enough.

to have them removed and the
wires placed underground.

The public market is one of the
most effective means of bringing
men to time who would levy ex-
tortionate prices on eatables. Be
fore the public market was in
stalled there was a combine on
Western avenue and among some
retailers to raise and keep up
prices far beyond a reasonable
profit, but when the people arose
up as one and had the public mar
ket installed prices went down to
a just profit, and the farmers were
brought into direct contact with
the consumer. 1t is a hard task
sometimes to keep some people
honest.

That the World's Fair at Seat
tie is the finest the United States
ever had is given out by many
men who have visited all the
Worlds Fairs held in this coun-
try. 1t is simply magnificent. 1t
is most wonderful that in three
years the exposition ground was
transformed from a bowling will
derness to one of the most beauti-
full spots in the Union. 1t is the
wonder and admiration Of all per-
sons who visit it. Costly build
ings, magnificent fountains and
cascades, and more and prettier
display of flowers than ever
graced any exposition in Uncle
Sans domain. The displays with
in the buildings never were
equaled. A person could spend
two months in seeing the sights
and not observe them all.

The utter foolishness of the city
of Tacoma in calling Mount Raj
nier Mount Tacoma for the pur-
pose of advertising their town is
far beyond any parallel. Despite
the fact that the United States
authorities from the very first
named it Mount Rainier, Tacoma,
and that city alone, persists in
calling it Mount Tacoma. They
call the mountain a false name in
order to give their one business
street town a little prominence.
Some years ago there was a minis
terial association gathering there
and they took a boat ride on the
bay, and when they returned
Tacoma minister (so-called) ex-
claimed, "Behold Mount Taco
ma !" Even the ministers Of the
gospel are compelled to call it by
the wrongful name, else their con-
gregation would vanish. It is
called Mount Tacoma nowhere on
the globe except in the town who
persists in classifying it's name.

same complaint is made of the
Exposition; thousands of people
have to inquire a dozen times,
"What building is thatg" The
names of the buildings should be
on every side.

vet it remained for former United
States Senator John l.. Wilson to
pay the tribute of tributes to him,
and so striking is it that despite
the fact that the address has been
repeatedly published in the daily
papers since it was delivered, yet
it will bear republishing in this
connection:
"Every nation, since the Greeks
spread their civilization along the
beautiful shores of the Mediter
ranean, or the Romans planted
their eagles upon the banks of the
Tiber, has delighted to honor the
memory of it's illustrious dead.
"In ancient Ireland, whenever
death knocked at the castle or the
cabin, it was the custom of all,
upon meeting the funeral train,
to turn and mingle with the
throng and to cast flower upon
the new-made grave. And so, my
fellow countrymen, on this beauti-
full July afternoon, we turn aside
from our daily avocations to pay
our tribute of respect to our de-
parted friend and drop a flower
upon his bier. There's rose
mary; that's for remembrance.
There's pansies; that's for
thoughts
elm bringing my humble but
sincere tribute to the memory of
Francis w. Cushman, l shall not
undertake to recite at length the
history Of his life. The merest.
outline of it is sufficient to prove
him to have been a man of mark.
Others more familiar with it's de-
tails will do that, and they will do
it lovingly.
"Born to inheritance of strug-
gle, without advantages of
wealth or influence or great name,
his native virtues, and they only,
were the factors in the problem
Of his successful career.
"He was first nominated for
Congress from the state at large,
in 1898, and his pluck and perse-
verance soon gained for him dis
tinction, and the party whose
principles he expounded quickly
recognized him as a leader, and
he was afterward a prominent
figure in it's affairs.
"He was a careful and con-
scientious legislator, yet so strong
in his convictions, when once
formed, that he followed the lines
of duty as he saw them with I'M
firing zeal and energy. Strong
partisan that he was, he never for
got the rights of others. During
his period of service many ques-
tions Of national Importance en-
listed legislative attention. His
attitude with respect thereto was
the attitude of his party; and he
was ever at the fore in the asser-
ton and maintenance Of that
party's principles. All honor to
him for this. All honor, | say,
always to the man of strong and
honest convictions who has the
courage to stand by them.
"Back to the old words we go
in the great crisis. Never in all
the tones of ethics or all the
PHILOSOPHERS of the ages have we
got beyond the requirements that
strains the highest capacities OF
races and civilizations and re-
ligions. ITO do justly and love
mercy and walk humbly before

and, therefore, great honor goes
forth to meet him in the infinite

The quakers are among the
very best people in the United
States. Their religion is not all
theory, but they believe more in
putting in practice what they pro-
fess. The Quaker is honest, his
word is as good as his bond.
What he promises you can depend
upon. They do not dress extrava-
gantly, but dress well. They eat
plain, healthy food and are
healthy. They advocate the doc
trine that whatever is worth do
ing at all is worth doing well.
They live within their means and
have a clear conscience void Of
offense. They are not a specula-
tive class of people, but make
living in the usual course of bust
ness. Go where you will and you
will hear the people say, "Well,
they are a good people, Much
unhappiness would be avoided if
the masses of the American peo-
pie would live as do the Quakers.

There is too much politics in
jected into our legislative pro-
ceedings. When men are elected
to the legislature they should as
much as possible eschew politics
and get down to real business and
make the legislature a purely
business body. Thousands of dol
lars of the peoples hard-earned
money are squandered in our leg
islature at Olympia in fighting to
gain advantage for some one or
more members in some political
contest. That is not what the
voters sent them there for, and
they have no business to squander
the peoples money in that man
ner.

TARIFF BILL BRINGS
RELIEF IN MARKET

ouence increasing talk of lower wages,
which in turn affects general business.
because such step necessarily Inn
plies lessened demand until prices to
the consumer fail correspOndingly. A
number of reductions have already
been announced in the iron and steel
trade, although there is suspicion
that these announcements are made at
this time with a view of influencing
tariff legislation. The depression III
the steel trade is illustrated by the
annual report of the Steel Corporation,
whose sales in 1908 were $4S2,0GO,O0O.
or a loss of nearly $275.000,O00 in u
months. During the same period net
earnings amounted to less than SS2,-
100000, a decrease of $69,OOO,0OO. the
gross sales and the net earnings were
the smallest IN any year since 1904.
The money market continues ex-
tremely easy in spite of declining bank
reserves and large gold exports. Fur
Their shipments of the precious metal
are expected both to London and Ar
geatina. Should this outward move
ment continue on large scale some
st:ffening of interest rates must, of
course. be expected, but at present
such a possibility is not in irnm ediate
sight. Time money is a little frmer
owing to the approach Of the usual
pril settlements, which however, are
q less disturbing influence than was
the case in former years. For corn
mercial paper there is a good demand
but limited supply.
The outlook is for a quiet market
with moderate fluctuations either way
A steady undertone prevails and recu-
perative forces are quietly at work to
a degree that later on should be re-
fected in renewed improvement. Our
great bankers, our great merchants and
our great manufacturers are not DIS
turbed over the future. They are con-
tent to let matters rest and permit re-
covery to take a natural and slow but
safe course. Very soon the sap will
begin to rise, and that is not the time
for taking gloomy views. When the
tariff question is settled business VIII
certainly become more active, and or
ders which have been held back for
months will be placed for execution
The lowering of prices and wages VIII
also in due season be a stimulus to
renewed enterprise. Much will depend
upon the crop outlook, and up to date
this is not so unfavorable as at one
time expected. Large crops will be
earnestly desired. The possibility of an
outbreak between Austria and Servia
is one that keeps all European mar
kets in an unsettled condition. OF
course, any disturbances in the for
eign bourses will be reflected in New
York. Strong efforts are being made
by the great powers to prevent COM
plications should war break out, ana
this should prevent any serious ap-
