The Rich and the Poor Girl
Graduate.
On. o. Daily States)

The sweet girl graduate whose
father is rich no doubt enjoys a
full measure of happiness because
her dress is moro expensive than
that of any other girl in the class,
and she delights in the profusion
OF bouquets handed to her over
the footlight But throughout the
country today school authorities
are asking if it is worth while for
her to enjoy her beautiful dress
when other girl graduates cannot
afford anything except the sim
plest muslin, and cannot have bou-
quets because they cost money,
and it was all their parents could
do by self-deniaI and the exercise
of the strictest economy to get
them through the high school.
Therefore school committees are
beginning to consider how far they
may go to limit the measure of
some young peoples happiness in
order TO protect other young peo-
pie from pain and humiliation. 1t
appears that in Bayonne, n. j.,
the board of education has solved
one problem by ruling that no
gifts or bouquets may be presen-
ted at the graduating exercises,
and the board is discussing the
advisability Of requiring all the
high school graduates to present
themselves in college cap aud
gown, a costume that does not al
low the wealthy TO dress more ex-
pensively than the poor.
In view of the fact that the dress
parade" is a feature of nearly all
the high schools for girls in the
country, and very much more at
tentlon is given TO it than to the
text books the boards of education
will do well to adopt an attractive
but inexpensive costume and re-
quire all the pupils to wear it.
Such a rule would place all of
them on an equality so far as dress
is concerned, and there would be
more happiness in the high schools
than there is today, because many
a worthy little lady would be spa
red the heartburnings caused by
the realization of her poverty and
inability to attire herself as at
as her moro fortunate
sisters.

WIN NE AhlOtS tSEN VI CEMENI.
Washington, June 5.-The De-
partment of Agriculture has pub
lished the following bulletin on
concrete fence posts
Concrete-cement, sand, gravel
and water combined in proper pro-
portions-has become one of the
leading building material of the
day. 1t has shown its worth as a
substitute for wood; houses built
entirely of cement, the trimming
and supports of wood being mere
ly for decorative effect; it is used
10y the government, by railroads,
by farmers in hundreds of ways,
either alone or reinforced; and has
been found to produce even good
fence pests. Its moderate cost,
its durability, the ease with which
it is handled, the wide distribution
of the sand, gravel and stone of
which it is composed, commend il
to the consideration of all bull
ders.
As a material for fence posts,
concrete has been found to possess
but few of the disadvantage of
wood, to have practically all it's
advantages, and to be superior in
some respects to timber. Of
course, the first cost may be more
or less than the best wooden posts,
but that depends on local condi-
tlons-the timber supply, the de-
poslts of sand, gravel and rock,
and the skill of the workman. IfI
manufactured as usual and cured
for three months, concrete posts
are as good as the beet wooden
posts. After three years wooden
posts possess one one-third to one
half of their original strength.
whereas, concrete grows stronger
with age, aud needs no repairs, as
neither weather nor fire Injuries it.
Under ordinary circumstances
concrete posts will last forever:
and even If in the course of years
a few should be broken by unusual
strain, it is cheaper to replace
them than to replace an entire
fence of decayed posts with a ma.
erial with the same lack of dura-
,ility.
Concrete posts are attractive in
appearance, because of their uni
orm size and color, and can be
made either square, triangular, or |
ound, either straight or tapering {
