Accomplishments Of Cupid Are
Many and Increasing Rapidly.
Little Boston Terrier, owned by Capt.
Oscar J. Charles, Knows All
About West Point-Does
Many Tricks.

New York.-Capt. Oscar j. Charles,
seventeenth United States infantry,
adJutant of the United States Military
academy at West Point, is the owner
OF the smartest dog in the army.
Cupid is the dogs name and Boston
terrier his breed. What he does not
know about the army in general and
West Point in particular is not worth
telling. To tell the truth about Cupid
would fill a book, for certain it is
that this little Boston terrier can do
more tricks and understand more
words than any other dog, big or lit
tie, the army has known.
When Captain Charles was married
a little more than year ago, friend
in Chicago, his home city, sent him
cupid, and straightaway Captain
Charles started to educate him as no
other dog was ever educated before.
Cupid's accomplishments are therefore
already many and varied.
Now, about your education, do you
want to go to Harvard?" Captain
Charles will ask.

tail and looks disgusted

asks. Still no reply.

growls, to show that he is insulted.

rival is the academy on the Severn.

then. VIII you go to West Point d?

STATE
CAPITAL
One State Board.

The subject of the proposed school
code occupies a prominent part In
the annual report of DR.. n. G.
Schaeffer, State Superintendent Of
Public instruction, which was jus{
made public here.
DR.. Schaeffer does not show verJ
much favor of the idea of creating
State Board of Education. Hs
speaks of the subject at length and
declares that it would cause delay
in securing action on questions
which are now decided promptly.
Dr.. Shaeffer says there is a dit
vision of opinion on the subject OF
creating a State board, remarking:
Those who favor a State board
claim that such a board would unity
the system, as we'll as work otheE
desirable changes. Philadelphia has
always been adverse to coming un--
der the State school system, and
when the last Legislature was con-
sidering this question, the leaders
promptly eliminated the Philadelt
phia schools from the jurisdiction
of the proposed State Board of Edu-
cation. If State board is not good
for Philadelphia, is it good for thd
rest of the State?"
The superintendent points out thas
experience with the college and uBil
versity council shows how difhcult
it is to get a quorum of board
whose members serve without COM
pensatiOn. In discussing the SUBJ
ject, he says:
Here, If anywhere, individual
preferences should be subordinated
to the general welfare of the schools.
If functions which are now vested
in superintendents and school boards,
or in the Legislature itself, can with
advantage be transferred to State
Board of Education then such
board should be created. II, on thg
other hand, such a board is an un-
necessary adjunct to the State school,
department and a hindrance to tho
local administration of the Schools
then It would be unwise to create
such a board, even though a ma
jority of the States have seen fit to
limit the power of the local authori-
ties by some central authority abovG

There is nothing that more i'm.

them have kept their long yigils
