Horseshoe Creek, Kyogle."
This is said to be but one of numerous
similar letters received from children in
schools in other lands and other states.
1t was explained that each letter from a
child which is received in this way is
turned over to some teacher in the graded
schools. who in turn gives 1t to a pupil.
and in this manner a correspondence Is
begun which often proves of educational
value.
Letters also have been received from
Batavia. Java; from Manila, in the Phil
ippines, and even from the Island OF Sulu.
The letter from Java was from a mother
who wished to learn something of the
american course of study" that she
might give her son an American training.
She said no schools using the English
language had yet been established in
Java.

LABOR WANTS SCALP
Of PUBLIC PRINTER
His Resignation or Dismissal
Suggested to President
Taft in Resolution.

A movement to GUST Public Printer
Samuel B. Donnelly from Office was in
augurated last night by the Central
Labor Union. Charging that Mr.. Dom
nelly had attempted to defeat the
rules Of the civil service commission
and demoralize the discipline of the
government printing Office" the union
adopted a resolution to further inves-
tigate conditions at the printery. II
these charges are found to justify his
removal. the Central Labor Union de-
cided. it will demand the resignation
or dismissal Of Mr.. Donnelly.
Patrick ]. Ryan. attorney for the
Central Labor Union. introduced the
resolution. which led to criticism Of
Mr.. Donnelly H. Shearer Emmett L.
Adams Of the legislative committee.
John Wolfe, James L. Murtaugh and
Milton Snellings. president Of the CEN
trail body, Joined in the adverse COM
ment on MIR. Donnelly and his official
acts.
Fails to Respond in Person.
Although Mr.. Donnelly had been
asked to appear before the body to
make a defense of his attitude toward
the white bricklayers when they
been hired at the printing Office, he did
not appear last night. Instead he sent
the following letter:
THE seven white bricklayers We're in
terviewed by the acting public printer.
and the reason given by all for going on
strike was that colored man had been
assigned to the job with them. and they
would not work with him. One gave as
an additional reason that the colored
bricklayer was not competent.
THAT the bricklayers struck for the
purpose Of compelling the public printer
to dismiss bricklayer because he was
a colored man is supported by their own
voluntary statement. by the testimony Of
competent witnesses, and by their con-
duct since the strike. Their act in strik-
ing was an offense against the govern
ment that cannot be condoned. and was
violation Of the basic principles Of
trades unionism The duty of a public
officer and of every citizen under these
circumstances is so fundamental that 1t
should be unnecessary for me to make
any argument In support of the action

Many Visitors Attracted.

Charles J. Columbus. who is managing
the National Style Show, had his hands
full last night steering the curious folks
in the right direction. So many stylish
people attended the show as visitors that
every now and then one Of them would
unintentionally enter the class of the
models.
Altogether the show is one of quiet re-
fnement. There is nothing to offend the
eye. Considerable taste and care have
been exercised in draping the inanimate
exhibits, and the gowns on the famed
live models are in perfect taste.
One of these models is Miss Anna Tai
bert, who is showing a brown tailored
suit from Wineman. AS Miss Talbert
will tell you, the suit is built on con-
ventional lines, but has hidden pleat in
the skirt.
Bode has a proud exhibit in d live

scarf. Del Crosse has three models, one
Of which is calling suit. and another onr
