HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

It would be fortunate If there were
a "PInchot' in our present Congress
to CRY "stop thief, . for there Is a bill
now befsre that body, providing for
grant money to be made from
the F, deial Treasury to George
Washington. University, private in
stiiution in the District of Columbia.
"The movement to promote public
education in all grades, from the
kindergarten to the University, has
found one Of its most permanent and
serious obstacles, in the desire Of
many people to hand over the public
funds to private and sectarian schools
This tendency should be opposed
in the public interest at all times and
in all places" In this connection It
may be said that there is reco
nmendatlon in this state that no
pubic money be appropriated TO In
situations not under state control. II
is claimed that many thousands dol
ia-s are annually rlisspent by these
smaller andirresponsible corporations
and that the slate would better en-
large its hospitals and asylums and
have direct supervision of the money
it sppropriates.
Students Of the High School WHO
we're fortunate enough TO observe
the ice leaving the Delaware river
lasl Saturday, were greatly i'm
pressed with the fact that rivers are
active erosive agents
They carry away soil, and not on
iy the rivers but small creeks, and
the little streams which work down
hillsides where trees have been cut
off. Acres of fertile land and the
humus which is an essential fertilizer
are swept away. Such loss is an OBJ
ject lesson in forestry and IS more
eloquent than words in impressing
The great waste constantly going on
because the soil covering which ma
turo provided has been removed.
The high School and Primary
rooms are greatly frightened by fiow
ers of the freesias, narcissus, and
other bulbs, placed in them by the
janitor, Mr. McCarty.
Benjamin Mettler. former stu
dent of the High School, has returned

crative position in Port Jervis.
Several pupils of the High Schoo

Hugh School, The medals are in thu
form of the Liberty Bell, and il

CONCEALED SORROW S

Lonely and sad are my moments
When seem most happy and gay.
Thoughts of the past come back to me
But my dear ones have all gone way
Why should We grove before strsngers2
Not of our troubles they care
Yes, can laugh and be merry
And silently my deep griefs bear.
In years I'm not old still I'm aged
The trials of life made me SO,
Yet am trying to bear them
And smother my deep seated woe.
It is like the canker that's eating,
The core of the apple concealed,
So with my pent up emotion
In my heart that is almost CONCEALED.
We must not intrude our dark SORROWS,
For sorrow will come, ah, too soon
To all, so we should strive bravely
To forget in their presence our own,
But we have heavens consolation,
Disconsolate souls will find peace
Ere long for all things are feeting
Death sometime will bring us release.

 ARE DOING WELL

SAN ANTONIO Texas. Dec. 22:- tSpec-aD-Dr. Charles (. Young commissioner of agriculture of the state Of Coahuila, Mexico, formerly chief eye surgeon Of the Cook coun. ty hospital in Chicago, and the only man in America who has succeeded in importing the blooded Karakule sheep from their native land. the Bokhara desert, in Thibet, Central Asia, has gone 10 Chicago to make arrangements with Congressman James Tawney to establish q Kara kule ranch on the property of Con gressman Tawney's brother, near Grand Junction. Colorado. A small herd of the famous animals has been reserved from the best stock in Dr Young's flock for the starting of the Tawney Karakule ranch
 Dr. Young succeeded in importing the Karakules direct several years ago, but only after the greatest diff .iculty. involving diplomatic proceed ings with the unfolding of much red tape, and the encouragement and en- dOrsement of Theodore Roosevelt. then president of the United States. He first tried the sheep raising in Colorado and the Panhandle of Tex as, but found southwest Texas and Mexico more favorable. He trans ported his entire stock to this sec tion of the country. For the last four months the herd has been graz ing near Menor COahuila. Dr. Young is an enthusiast on the subject Of inter-breeding of Karakules and na- tive sheep, and his experiments have been of material value to the sheep raising industry of Texas and Mexico Charles Goodnight, of Good night, Texas, whose buffalo ranch has made him famous, WAS one of the first to become interested in the Karakule. Dr. Young announces the sale to MT. Goodnight of 3S pure blooded Karakules for which hc received S10.000- The sheep will he taken from the range in Mexico and placed on the Goodnight ranch in Armstrong County.

YIN
 FIGHT AGAINST
 ANACONDA C0.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dee. 22.- An important case was decided by the Interstate Commerce Commission affecting the smelters in the Rocky Mountains region to the extent of many thousands of dollars annually. The commission holds that it is with out jurisdiction over shipments. or rates for period of more than two years beyond that fixed by statute.
 Complaint was filed with the com mission by the Anaconda Copper min ing company Of Montana against the Erie railroad and many other east ern carriers regarding rates oil coke from West Virginia and Pennsylvania coke ovens to Montana smelters.
 At the time Of the complaint the defendant lines maintained two rates on coke from ovens to Chicago. a rate of $2.65 per net ton on coke and a rate of $2.35 per net ton "ol coke for use in blast furnaces for smelling iron from ores"
 In it's decision the commission fur ther holds the rate of $2.65 per ton applying on coke was and is. low rate for use in blast furnaces for sme'dng iron from the ores, while improper, did not subject the com plainants to undue discrimination, and is not the basis for awards of damages in these cases"
 IL is further held that smelters of copper and iron do not compete in any proper or ordinary sense of the term and complainants have there fore suffered no damage"
 The complainant asked reparation upon the grounds O. maintenance of two separate rates upon the same commodity at the same time thus showing undue discrimination.

CONSUL GIVES ADVICE
 ABOUT MEXICAN TRADE

GALVESTON, Texas Dec. 22:- CSpec.aD-Consul Alonzo B. Garrett Of Nueyo Laredo, Mexico, in a re- port to Washington urges American manufacturers not to give a mer- chant or agent in the City of Mexico the exclusive right to sell their pro ducts throughout the Republic. MT. Garrett says: Mexican merchants or agents, in the City of Mexico are especially handicapped in supply ing American goods to Northern Mexico. for the following reasons: all imports from the United States pass through Northern Mexico. eY- cept such shipments as come by water from New York to Vera Cruz. and the merchants in Northern Mex 'co, buying American goods in the City of Mexico, would have to pay double freight charges thereon. and in addition, the commission or pro- fit of the wholesale dealer or agent. These intermediate charges are the chief hindrances to the extension of American trade in this territory.
 Many NueyO Laredo merchants L-y their goods in carload lots and 60 considerable wholesale business with h. smaller towns in this vicin- it} ~ui they insist that they are en- ut ~a 70 buy direct from the manu. 5artur-r without having to pay commission to an agent who is ar Uitrarily designated by the manufac- tCrer to control the territory ia which he does not solicit trade and which is geographically so situated that he cannot supply it direct from his stock. Manufacturers should care fully weigh the matter before giving any one firm the exclusive sale of their goods in the entire Republic. It would be better policy to send a thoroughly competent representative to solicit trade in all the principal cities of the Republis. and in case an exclusive right of territory is given to a firm in Mexico City, it should not cover territory north of San Luis Pobosi. as merchants north of that city cannot purchase American made goods in Mexico City and con- pete with goods winch are purchased even from jobbers in the United States

SAY CHILDREN
 START SCHOOL
 MUCH TO0SO0N

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Dec. 22:- Special Texas State Boarc of health has sounded a note O. warning to parents not to send their chi.aren to school at too early an age. Dr. w. NJ. Brunby state health officer and presiuent uf the board, takes the position that eight years IS early enough. The warning has started a wave of debate and school boards over the state are seriously considering 1t s.nce the doctor does not mince words in telling of the bad effects too early attendance brings on the child. In part Dr Rrumby says:
 It has been proyerbial for cen tirues that a man is as old as his arteries. No less true, if not so cur rent, is the fact that the child is as old as his nerves. The child of good nerves is the enid of good health; the same is true of an adult, but the child has a longer race to run. We would and should villify a per son so foolish as to cause child repeated and terrible fright. We should, but we don't. villify the par ent so thoughtless as to send his or her child, without thorough precau- tiOns. to school. say, at six years of age. Both bring the same result On- Iyy tho former s,- Duickpr
 Granted that a child has naturally strcGg nerves and a general good health. inc sUrcst way to jcopardize the sou4Cness uf his mentality, to run the risk Oi causing him to loathe books of the best sort and to place him on the road to neurasthcnia by the time he reaches maturity, is to place the undue mental strain upon him found in the crowded curriculum of too many schools. The cOlse sequence of such strain is, more often than We realize a lack of bal snce resulting in bringing children and young men in a hunger for sor- did literature and in dissipation, to- bacco. whiskey and various other forms of seif-abuse. In those of slow CT development, the strain results in Encouragement. indolence, vacil- lation and vice. These are the very probable results ot burdeninG the child of strong native endOwments. The story of the career of the child whose heritage Is a bundle of tino'- ing supersensitiye nerves is not nearly so long. It is either chronic disease, insanity or death.
 History has shown that the great est minds of bygOne centuries were those which came to maturity gradu- ally and naturally. Early genius is consuming Recall the early death of the precocious Chatterton, the marvellous boy" of the musical prodigies. Mozart and Chopin, the fires of whose minds consumed the weakness of their bodies. The great est works of Dante, Milton. Shakes TearG Pasteur and others came late in life.
 Let the parents have good reason for sending their children to school at six years. Let them be sure 1t isn't jealousy that prompts them. or it is not the mere fact that they can send them at six or seven. O" that they don't send them 10 school mere ly 10 have somebody else take care Of them as is most certainly too often the case. Eight years is early enough for the majority to commence school if We would safeguard their health-1

NEW YORK, May Twill 1 tell you
the salaries we actually paid our prin-
cipal singers last season? Sure" said
Arthur Hammerstein this afternoon.
Opera is an expensive pastime," Mr..
Hammerstein continued. "None but
millionaires unmindful of cost should
daily with 1t, except in such rare in
stances as that of my father, who has
genius for it. Roughly, 1T cost him an
average of $55,000 a week to keep open
the doors of the Manhattan opera house
and Philadelphia opera house last year
That figure for the season of twenty
weeks means an expenditure of 81 ,100,- =
600.
"Of course the salaries of the prin-
cipal singers in grand opera have been
exaggerated by reason of their per-
sonal vanity, by assiduous press agents,
by newspapers and public credulity,
but they are big enough in plain truth
to be imposing. Tetrazzini, for in
stance, was paid last season $500 a
night, with a guarantee of forty per-
formances. Mary Gardens contract
called for $500 night, with twenty
performances assured her. Renaud got
$1,000 a. night for forty performances. So
did Sammarco
"For every time he sang Dalmores
got 5000; Gerville- -Reache was paid

Gilbert, $3.50 a week; Du Frame, 800
