Bathrooms In Paris.

An observant English journalist in
Paris has-as hot weather amuse-
'ment-made private census Of bath
rooms. He calculates that in all the
flats and private houses of Paris there
are about $500 bathrooms. And this
writer, lying in his own bath and max
ing another calculation. will bet a
bathful of water that he could get up
and pitch a cricket ball from the gar
den about his modest fat this way
and that over as many bathrooms. 1t
is curious little difference of national
architecture. And the quaintness Of
the difference comes with the fact that
you see more people in London who
look-yes-dirty than in Paris. Even
the beggar in Paris is clean in face. fin

Chief Of Which 10 Man.
A popularity Of the camel Is his dis
likes. Likes he has none, save for the
mimosa thorn and, perhaps, for dying.
He hates red. and when, years ago,
some genius Of the British army
equipped the squadrons of the camel
corps with bright crimson saddles the
animals so resented the outrage that
numbers Of them gave up the ghost
in pure disgust.
The camel always, Of course, hates
man and sometimes displays his vim
dictiveness in no uncertain manner. A
dignifed and elderly British officer has
been seen to foot it all round the camp
in blue silk pajamas. with one slipper
and shaving brush, closely pursued
by his own animal, with his long neck
stretched to the utmost and his savage
mouth much too near that sleeping
suit to be pleasant At length a
fatigue party was summoned, who,
with telegraph poles, young trees, rail
way ties and such cajoleries, prevailed
upon the beast to desist.
As a mount the camel is said to
possess distinct advantages. His gait Is
comfortable when one has learned to-
ride him, and for really long journeys,
which must perforce be made at slow
pace, he is much less firing than a
horse Besides, he carries with him all
manner Of things the rider is likely to
need en- route-canvas buckets of water,
in which bottles stand to cool; a writ
ing desk (not necessarily of the Office
type), but still an efficient substitute; a
luncheon basket, rifles, telescopes. a
mountain gun, if required, and other
needful articles.

Plants Breaking Up an Island.

In time they will probably reduce the

EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS.

There is always a mad scramble at
each legislative session for appropri-
atoms for buildings for the different
educational institutions. This could be
easily avoided If the state would is
sue bonds for such a purpose and per-
NIT each institution to go ahead and
construct what buildings were abso-
lutely necessary and permit the schools
to pay back this amount from it's share
Of the mill tax levied for educational
purposes.
These bonds could be made long
term issues. They would be self pay
ing, No direct appropriations would
be required from the legislature for
that purpose.
The state institutions could secure
the buildings when their need is so
imperative-when they would be of
so much greater advantage than a de-
cade hence. The work of the different
schools would not be retarded and their
opportunities lost because of lack of
class rooms and other facilities.
Long term bonds could be issued
that would find ready sale at a low
rate Of interest. Each school could
secure the immediate advantages of
the necessary buildings and pay for
them at it's leisure-and without the
appropriation of a cent by the legis-
lature.
The idea is certainly worthy of SER
ious consideration. The educators of
the state are said to be behind it to a
man-and they have good argument
in behalf of their contention.

BOARD OF CONTROL.

For a second time the heads of the
educational institutions have gone on
record as opposed to a state board of
control for all educational institutions,
There is a reason. The state schools
are not like series of banks or trust
companies or branches of some great
industrial enterprise-where the work
is identical in each. Were this true
the state board Of control idea would
be all right.
But there is or should be some in
dividuality about every educational in
stitution. Each has a distinctive field.
The work of the state university is
along lines that are not followed by
other educational institutions. The
same is true of the A. c. It's sphere
of usefulness would be greatly handi-
capped if it's individuality was de-
stroyed.
One board of control might be a sue
cess with the three state normals as
their work is similar. 1t has been sug-
gested that there be a resident member
for each and that the governor and
the superintendent of public instruc-
ton compose a normal board to run
all three.
Another board might operate the
nauaI and oL.rftab1o ;rs+;+r,+in,,-
where economy and humane treatment
are the things most desired.
The Forum hopes the legislature will
consider carefully the position of the
heads of the educational institutions
before rushing wildly into any general
state board of control proposition.
