tons which rendered it necessary can
be readily understood. But whether fully

This correction seems necessary, but I
realize, of course. that there was no in
territorial injustice in the newspaper re-

treated US very generously, and the out

Flags at Half Mast.

1t was ordered yesterday that whenever
a child or a teacher in the schools shall
die, the flag on the building shall be
lowered to half mast.
Several teachers presented petition
to change the arrangements by which
legitimate leaves of absence for educa-
tional purposes are obtained. Many OF
the teachers take short courses of study
for seif-improvement and for the bene-
fit of their services to the schools. They
claimed that having assumed the heavy
financial obligation incident to weeks or
absence for higher study the teacher
returns to await the hazard or fortune
in the matter of reappointment.

PAY FOR JUNKETING TRIPS

There are signs which point to spring
housekeeping in the public school sys-
tenn. A few Of these signs cropped out
at the meeting of the board OF educa-
ton yesterday afternoon. One of the
places to be renovated this spring is the
school wherein principal is charged by
the accountants at the District building
with having manipulated her reports in
such q manner that an extra room ap-
pears on the pay rolls. Exactly what
the details of this situation were was
not made public at the meeting. but a
letter containing the specific charges was
handed about to each member OF the
board and taken i'll charge by the COM
mittee on elementary schools.

After a short time 1t became known
that this teacher was accompanying his
wife, who Is a trained nurse, and who In

en- route and at the coast. Supt. Stuart
telegraphed the teacher to come back as
soon as he could. but the length of time

Needs of Schools Urgent.

Can't Oyster read a letter from Com
missioner Rudolph in answer to a letter
sent subsequent to the last board Of
education meeting. urging that the school
needs be made extraordinary improve
ments in the bip which will enact the
"Judson plan" for financing the District:
The Commissioner said that the school
needs are always with US, and would
always receive nrst consideration, put
did not say that the Commissioners In
tended to change the form of the pro-
posed enactment. The board of education
is plainly dissatisfied with this, and Mr..
w. V. Cox intends to get at Congress by
the direct method Of knocking at the
doors of the committees.
If the school needs were abreast of
the times said Mr.. Cox, I'VE would be
satisfied with this bill, perhaps. but as
we are thousands of dollars behind l
think we ought to be made extraordinary
improvements.
The board authorized. the superintend-
ent to allow five people from the service
to attend the meeting of the department
of school superintendent at Indianapolis
within a few weeks The railroad expenses
only of the five will be paid with the
public money.
Supt. Stewart recommended a change
in the compulsory education law,
which will have the effect of jerking UP
offenders in short order. At present q
child can be absent for six days or SO.
and then. the parents having received
notice, can come back to school for two
| or three days and then start in an en-
tirely new series Of absences. Mr.. Stuart
proposes that the entire uneXcused alb
sences shall be limited to ten days. OF
twenty half days in each half year OF
the school term. This will be considered
by one of the committees.

An attic is desirable when economy is not so carefully to be maintained 1; otherwise 1t IS better to store the trunks and like things on racks in the basement.
 The exterior Is covered with clapboards. with the rough side out, mitered at the corners and stained. An olive-green stain, with ivory white trimmings and sash, and bronze-green blinds, will make a most attractive combination of color.

A building with rectangular outline that IS, with one side longer than the other, is always more archi- tecturally attractive than building absolutely square, with both sides equal.

HARDY FERNS

Few people are aware of the beautiful effects produced by delft paintings of hardy ferns Many of them are spe- cially adapted to cold, damp corners. ranging along foundation walls or under trees. It is mistaken idea that ferns will succeed in sodden or stagnant soil. Although many grow naturally in very damp or wet soil, nature always pro vides them perfect drainage. and the same care is necessary in preparing beds for them that other plants require.
