the county the unit for taxation, IN
stead of the district as we now have
it.
Fourth: That questions on. arith-
metic be paired in the same way as in
history.
Fifth: That We pledge ourselves
to strictly observe the time limits of
subjects in examinations, and to open
and close each days work as early
as the time designated as possible.
Sixth: That we commend the in
PRODUCTION of the uniform system of
examination for common school dipIo-
mas
Seventh: That we recognize the
District Superintendent 5, Association

County Superintendent, Association,
and that we invite their cooperation
along all lines in harmony with the
objects of our association

sistanSe to the state superintendent

Use to carry out his instructions and

come of that slogan nowa The New

January II, printed this news item:
The old man died first, but the
young man seemed to be the weaker
and the hungrier as the two friends
in adversely tottered to the door of
Municipal Lodging House, at Tween
ty-ffth street and the East river,
last night. So it was that the starv-
ing man of sixty supported his starry
ing companion of 90 as they dragged
their dreary way along the water
front to the city's bread line, sup
ported him and urged him to hold
out for another block or two, to keep
up his spirits for few more min
utes until he could get to the free
food and thus strengthen himself for
the next days hunt for work.
The starving man of only twenty
eight groaned and staggered on with
the help of the feeble arm about his
waist.
The starving man of sixty said
cheerily, There's the lodging house

HUNDRED HUNGRY MEN MADE WAY.
There were hundred men in the
line ahead of them when they reach
ed the goal. Those hundred were
merely hungry, suffering from hun
ger, but they did not have to hold
each other up till their turns came.
So these derelicts recognized that
there were grades of suffering even
on the bread line. They stood aside
to let the old man and the young
man pass in ahead of them. They
risked their own precious places by
stepping out of line to let those who
were starving get to the bread.
Don't you smell the coffee now"
murmured Sixty to Twenty-eight; but
the younger man was senseless. 1t
was only the support of his friend
of the streets that kept him from
falling before the pyramid of bread
and the steaming urn of coffee.

strike in the concerns history.
The present Trouble had its incep-

presented demand for a 10 per cent
increase In wages on the ground OF the
high cost of living. The deaths OF
President Frank c.. Pingree and Hazen
S. Pingree, Jr., coming soon after
tended to hold the matter In abey.

manager of the company, took hold
early In May, the men renewed their
request. II was turned down fatty.
A strike was ordered then, and the

walk out May 16. In the meantime,
however, Supt. Johnson requested
that the matter be reopened and the
