VACATION OF SCHOOL BOYS.

R FADING has, or thinks it has, problem
Az on its hands. But other cities have the
same problem
The question is how shall the High School
boys devote their leisure during vacation to
the Disadvantage. We can not recall that this
natgfs has been seriously discussed before The
boys and nc alurnts used 70 settle Jth but IN
these DAYS the public the community, is extend
ing its sphere OF activity and some people arc
beginning to think that the community is try
ing to take the place OF the parent And those
who admit that the community is so doing JUS
tfy that activity by saying that it is necessary.
If. for example, negligent parents refuse TO at
tend to the teeth of their children, 1t is the duty
of the State, through the school board TO see
that the State does what the parent refuses
to do.
From this is growing the idea that the State
should have an interest in how the school boys
snend their spare time The principal OF the
Reading High School is showing such interest.
He is making out plan for spending vacations.
A Walking Club has been formed. Closer afhlia-
ton with the Young Mems Christian Association
is urged Healthfu athletic sports are followed.
! Reading fears, as does Wilmington, the inau-
unce of pool rooms on boys. With many boys
in fact with most Of them, there should be no
problem OF how to spc0d vacation Some boys
work part of their vacation and by so doing they

SMALLER PAY FOR RECEIVERS.

a T last blow has been struck at great
and profitable industry. The emoluments
of receivers in bankruptcy cases will be cut
down No longer will generous judges be allow
ed TO award high sums TO receivers for real or
alleged services.
1t has been popularity supposed that should
a man have the good luck to be appointed re-
cever for some big bankrupt concern his for
tune was made, his financial happiness secured
The startling figures Of amounts that often went
to receivers have been the subject of surprised
comment Many young lawyer has had pleas
ant dreams OF the time that he might become
receiver But Congress has put the compen-
sation of receivers on a reasonable percentage
basis which will enable the stockholders to get
a little out Of the wreck we'll as the re-
ceivers.
In many cases it has seemed that the courts
have considered the receivers as the only ones
worthy of consideration, and the high fees al
lowed them in some instances were scandaous.
Men with business troubles have avoided
thoughts of receivers as they would a pesti-
lence just as some men avoid the courts as they
would fever
The act amending the bankruptcy law distin-
gushes between the receiver who merely settles
an estate and one who carries on a business. The
latter will be allowed twice as much as the for
mer, but he will not find his job bonanza.

DANGER FROM FLIES.

AGE that the hv does and can do Most people
have not thought OF the fy in such light
The desire OF the Board of Health that meat
exposed for sale in the market should be pro-
tected from flies is but an echo OF what is oeihg
done BY Health authorities in other states And
when those who sell meat realize the danger OF
having il contaminated by flies they VIII no
doubt assist the Board of Health. 1t is not the
intention OF the Board, as we understand it, to
work a hardship upon any one.
The Board OF Health OF North Carolina, is
conducting vigorous crusade against the ny.
And the printed matter that the Board is distrib-
,,ting Is similar to that published by the Board
OF Health OF Florida. ANY person looking at TINS
printed matter will be convinced that the fly
Is something that should be put out OF business

The Board adds that the presence OF flies Is a

Flies carry on their mouths and on their leg:
putrefactive and disease germs, on which they
have recently fed. and then crawl over food IN

DECREASE IN TYPHOID.

HE record of the Board OF Health discloses
y the remarkable fact that there IS but one
case of typhoid fever in this city. Some tine
ago there were two cases.
Secretary Malcolm points out that before the
new filter plant was in operation there was an
average OF from 20 to rs cases Of typhoid always
on record at the health office. He believes that
the decrease in the number OF cases OF the dis
case is due to the operation OF the new hitter
plant The situation is certainly remarkable,
and il il proves to be permanent--and there IS
no reason to believe that it will not be-the city
has certainly acted wisely in installing the hitter
plant. The sum expended for it is money well
used.
We doubt il any system of filtration can show
such record as that indicated by the reports
Al the Beard of Health office So far the hltra-
ton system has proved to be the conqueFor OF
typhoid fever. The records of the Board show
that the number of typhoid cases has steadily
dwindled since the new filter plan began to
work -

The statement Of the secretary OF the Board

Rig Conference of Red Men.

Muskogee, Okla, June 27.-Ihe
big conference of Indians which is
to hold forth this week, at which
the leaders of the red men will dis
cuss the final abandonment of tribal
customs and laws and the prepare
ton of the Indian for the enjoyment
of all the privileges of American
citizenship is attracting much atten-
ton The conference is proclaimed
as the last big gathering of its kind
to be held by the aborigines of the
American continent.
The commercial club of Muskogee
is the sponsor for the movement and
it has invited many prominent rep
resentatives of the various depart
ments of the federal government to
confer with the Indian chiefs. Others
interested in the welfare of the In
dams have also been asked to take
part and to assist in teaching the
Indian how to take up the burden
that civilization is thrusting upon
him.
A number of delegations of In
dams have already arrived here foT
the conference and others are re-
ported on the way. Among the
tribes that are expected to be rep,
resented are the Choctaws, Chero-
KEGS. SeminoIes and Chickasaws OF
the Five Civilized Tribes the Iro-
ouois from New York, the Sioux from
Dakota, the Kickapoos from south
western Texas, the Apaches from Ari-
