Taking up the regular order of bust
ness the secretary reported the appli-
cation of Frank C. Sheets to become
a member of the board and on mo-
ton of Director Jakway Mr.. Sheets
was duly elected.
Under the heading OF miscellaneous
business President Buchanan asked
the secretary If there was anything
to take up. The secretiyy reported
that a number of citizens were pres
ent to take up the matter OF federal
building and its location, stating that
w. c. Chapman had requested the
board to listen to a representation OF
matter. Thereupon the president call
ed on Mr.. Chapman to address the
board.
Mr.. Chapman stated that he had
been requested to present the mat
ter of site on the corner OF Main and
Eleventh street, information being to
the effect that what is known as the
Isgar corner had been selected by
the treasury department. and this be-
ing the case 1t would be necessary
for the citizens to raise the balance
of purchase price over and above the
government appropriation. He stated
that the board was not asked to guar
antee the raising OF the necessary
money. but that 1t take the matter In
charge by appointing committee to
canvas porperty owners; that he be
lieyed by so doing a better feeling
would prevail.
In response to inquiries Mr.. lsgar
stated that the total amount necessary
to be raised was $18,850. divided as
| follows: What is known as the Elk
lots, $3.50; Carson estate lot. $4,250;

had appropriated 10000. leaving bal
ance to be raised by the property own
ers of Durango of $3.50. The dimen
sion of the lots thus secured were
15Ox140, leaving fraction OF ten fee
on one lot which was reserved By
the owner.
President Buchanan said he though
1t advisable that a committee be sc

full expression from the gentlemen

A Boston newspaper offers little
comfort to the heat-oppressed Of that
section of the world by publishing a
record of temperatures in Massa-
chusetts 100 years ago. July of 1911
was excessively hot in that state and
in an old book containing facts about
the weather from 1906 to 1896 1t is
found that on the Fourth of July, 1911,
the temperature attained l07. For the
first six days of July Of that year the
record was: July |, 101; July 2, 1903;
July 3, 1O4; July 4, 107; July 5, 30;
July 8, 81. In 1919. according to the
same weather book. there was frost
every month in the year. Vegetation
was killed and the farmers had to
send to other parts of the country for
seed for the next year. All of this is
interesting IL not cooling.

What DEMOCRATS Are DOING.

Under the caption "Botching the
Job" the Freeport UllJ Journal has
the following to say In regard to the
way the Democratic Congress is at
tempting to play with It's new toy:
If Congress, now Democratic, was
disposed to act in good faith, 1t would
not attempt revision of the tariff until
the regular session next December.
after the tariff board had reported
regarding the relative cost here and
abroad. The Democratic House can
not revise the tariff in any particular
without the concurrence of the Sem
ate and President, both Republican.
But the Democratic Congress is intent
on playing politics. 1t does not ex-
pect the tariff to be revised, but II
does expect by the so-called farmers
free list, and cutting in two the tariff
on wool, to gain an advantage in the
next political campaign by showing
that the Democratic House offered to
reduce the tariff, and the Republican
Senate, and the Republican President

ENGLISH IN CHICAGO SCHOOLS.

Complaint having been made locally
that tho pupils of Hawaii are not
sufficiently schooled In reading and
writing, II Is matter of more than
passing interest that committee of
Chicago school teachers is undertake
ing to find out just how much ignor-
ance of the English language the bus
mess men of that city will stand for,
among the stenographers, bookkeep-
ers and statesmen.
The two years commercial high
school courses are TO be revised, and
the question is how little knowledge
of spelling and the use and meaning
of words is permissible In the gradu-
ates of these courses. II is desired to
make them as practical as possible,
and protest has been raised against
wasting time" on general courses in
English without an equal knowledge
of pot hooks and key boards might
have been acquired in less than two
years. So the question Is whether the
quality Of English used by book
keeper makes any difference at all;
whether stcnographers need to know
more English than carpenters; wheth-
err statesmen need to be able to make
a corrected statement of a PROPOSE
ton or whether II Is enough II they
can keep up with a dlstointed con-
versation; whether stenographers
need to know the meanings of the
words they use, and the like.
Whether II is worth while for any
particular boy or girl to learn ste
biography depends for the most part
on how much else that boy or girl
knows. Anybody can learn the pot
hooks. and practice will enable any
deft-flngered person to make them
rapidly. There are factories, every
where. for the quick manufacturer of
that sort Of stenographers. and the
waiting lists of all business houses
are full of them. They are the COM
monest and cheapest commodity on
the business market. But a. really
competent stenographer is one of the
hardest things for business man to
find. and one OF the most valued bust
ness assets when found.
A vocabulary of five hundred words
of English and one hundred Of slang,
supplemented by assorted squeais and
giggles, may be adequate to the per-
sonal conversational needs of girl
entering business college or COM
mercial high school, but 1t is not
adequate to the use OF a professional
or business man.
A Northumberland girl can not
be made a competent amanuensis
for n-thousand-word man merely
by teaching her a swifter alphabet.
AS for spelling, that is getting to be
trade by itself. and those who as
pire to practice II should learn It.
