BY J. A. Breckons.

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Represent-
ative Hawley's bill to amend the stat
utes relating to the lieu selection of
lands for educational purposes, just

western states in this regard. 1t pro

half and not more than three-quarters
of a township, three-quarters of a
section; if more than one-quarter and
not more than one-half, one-half sec
ton; if more than a section and not
more than onequarter of a township,
Oh e-quarter section"
The bill further provides that states
or territories which are or shall be

flciencies of school land in fractional

ANCIENT CHURCH CUSTOMS.

In the age of witchcraft and super

that they had a right to them; so said
Mr.. w. B. Paterson, lecturing before
the Old Glasgow Club. The accommo-
dation afforded the parishioners was
very different from the present lux
urious age. There were no pews in
Scottish kinks before the reign Of

Arrangements are being made by
the Department of Education to have
a summer school like that of last year.
Only, instead of having the expenses
paid by private subscI 'ptions of pub
lic-sjirited citizens as then, there is
available appropriation out of the pub
lie treasury for the school 1t win
open on July and last for six weeks.
Already letters have been received
from teachers intending to attend the
school. To many it will be an extern
sion of last years studies, in particu-
lar those who are trying for the gram
mar school license.
Teachers Examinations.
Soon the department will take up
the matter of examinations for teach
ers' certificates. According to the
new regulations there is to be an ex-
aiming board consisting of some of
the supervising principals This board
will have the work both of preparing
the questions and conducting the ex-
.aminations. Naturally the examina-
lions for the new school year will fall
at the end of the summer school.
Assignments Of Teachers.
Another fact of Importance to the
teachers is that the department is go
ing to take up appointments and have
all assignments completed before this
term closes on June 20, so that all will
know at that time where they are go
ing to be placed for the ensuing school
year.
The National Convention.
1t is likely there will be a goodly
number of teachers from Hawaii at
tend the meeting of the National Edu-
cational Association, which will be
held in San Francisco beginning July
8 and closing July IA, where it is GER
tain that many thousand teachers from

doubtful condition as there are so
many troops moving.
To Print School Laws.
Arrangements are being made to
have the school laws as they now
stand printed, together with the rules
and regulations of the department
which were adopted at last meeting
of the commissioners.
For Larger School Lots.
A request is going to be made of
the Department of Public Lands to
give the educational department. ad-
ditional land wherever required to
make every school lot in the Territory
at least two acres in extent. This, in
the opinion of the educational authori-
ties, should be the minimum size of
school premises.
Department Must Move.
Like the courts and the tax and reg
istration offices, the educational de-
partment has to find temporary quar-
tiers during the reconstruction of the
Judiciary building. Proper storage for
the stock of books and school sup
plies will perhaps be hardest to OBJ
tain in this connection.
Peace Day Prescribed.
A supply of Peace Day programs fof
the schools has been received at the
education office. The commissioners
having expressed themselves as salts
fed that the schools should observe
Peace Day, this is now added to the
list of days for special exercises which
hitherto has comprised Arbor Day,
Lincoln's Day, May Day and Flag
Day. May Is will be observed as
Peace Day with appropriate exercises
prepared by the International Peace
Society.

Gen. Reyes Arrives al Vera

Will Undoubtedly Be q Candidate
Against Gen. Madero.

Vera cruz. June 4.--The war being
over constructtvely at least, the Pres
idential campaign may be said to have
beer begun in Mexico today when
Gen. Bernado Reyes. who was recalled
from Europe to aid in the re-estab-
.Hshment of peace, arrived here by the
steamer Fnrst Bismarck from Havana,
where he had halted on the way.
While not yet an avowed candidate
for the Presidency, Gen Reyes is cer-
tainly considered receptive one I'm
donbtedly his name will be on the ball
lot when the election is held. He az
popular with the army and can rely
politically on what remains of the Diaz
machine.
His reception here today in a popu-
lar sense was not impressive. for the
great mass of the people are Maderists
in every hone and fibre. A special train
arrived this morning from Mexico city
with a delegation of prominent eiti-
zens, including representatives of the
Anti Re-electonist Club to meet the
general \ military band and a score
of officers in full uniform gathered on
the wharf when the steamer was sight
ed. with q fringe of poems on tile out
skirts. The citizens of Vera Cruz for
the most part, staid at home.
Con. Reyes went Immediately to a
hotel, from the balcony of which he
thanked the small crowd on the plaza
below for the welcome extended To him.
He is small man. with long bayonet-
shaped whiskers. His cheeks are rudy
and his eyes bright.
Efforts by the newspaper men to OBJ
tain his Presidential platform were
elnded. He came home he said, to use
all his influence to further the work
of restoring his country to a normal
peace basis. That, he declared, was at
present the over shadowing duty of
every Mexican, great or small.
Whom Madero arrives in Mexico City
the two men who probably will be the
leading rivals for the Presidency may
have the opportunity of sizing each
other up at close quarters. Later the
powerful Catholic party is expected to
put forward a candidate Diaz was the
political enemy of the church, whose
wealth and organization he considered
menace to the state.
