Proposed New Pay Day.

Mr.. Blair's proposition to change the
teachers pay day was not settled yester-
day, as several teachers have protested,
but, according to Mr.. Blair, no strong
and logical argument has been presented
against the scheme. He proposes to es-
tablish a definite date, say the 10th
Of the month. on which teachers checks
shall be issued. AT present the LIST Of
the month Is set for that event, but some
checks are inevitably late, and clerks
have to work many hours overtime to
bring about the results now obtained Mr.
Blair said yesterday that he would OPP
pose further overtime in the various Of
fees through which the checks pass, so
that as far as he is concerned. the 10th Of
the month will be the pay day, whether
it is established by rule or not.
Christmas trees will adorn the kinder
garten rooms, as usual. this year. as the
board voted a sum of money for that
purpose yesterday. The board received
the protest of several tradesmen in the
vicinity of Mckinley Manual Training
School. who say the Tech" lunchroom is
hurting their business The high school
committee has the matter under con-
SideratiOn.

Henry +. Blair, member of the board
of education, for once more he has stood
up for your rights under the law, and in
consequence thereof the Christmas holt
days will begin Friday, December ~
Thursday, December 81, is the last day
of school this year. Perhaps if it had
not been for him you would have to go
to school Friday, but, being lawyer, he
has read the school law, which declares
that the Christmas holiday shall include
the last regular school day. He dug the
thing up last year. remember, and had
it in mind again this year: and settled it
with Supt. Davidson at a meeting Of the
board of education in the Franklin School
building yesterday afternoon. The holi-
Gays will continue until January ., 1912.
Method of Buying Coal.
That's what comes of having lawyers on
the board. If it had a coal dealer per-
haps it could have settled the coal cues
ton. which the Commissioners put up to
it also
The Commissioners have asked the
poard II 1t wants to buy coal by the
ton any more. The question stunned the
board One member suggested that he
had never heard of coal being sold by
anything but the ton, and whispered
something about obtaining it by liquid
measure" The Commissioners. 1t seems
have learned from Marion Hargrove, Dis
tr1ct purchasing agent, that coal can be
obtained by mysterious analysis method,
out there is not any one in the schools
who can analyze coal. Even Secretary
1lne, who was brought up in the coal
fields, had to pass up the question. The
commissioners query, in typewriter
form. 500 words long, was passed among
the board members who scanned it with
interest. One member limited that black
diamonds might be sold by troy weight
and asked what committee could attend
to the matter. There Is no coal commit
tee, SO the committee on janitors will
have to study the thing out. The analysis
method seems to be a scheme whereby
the District will pay for it's coal by the
quality and not the quantity.
Sale of Red Cross Seals.
The board approved a request to allow
Red Cross seals to be placed on sale in
the normal. high and Mckinley Manual
Training schools.
The board will ask Corporation Coun-
sci Thomas to settle a question raised by
the request of Miss Adelaide Davis, prin-
cipal of the Emery School, to allow
boys club to be established in the first
floor and basement Of that building. The
board has been liberal in it's views on the
subject Of allowing the use of school
buildings to any organization that could
be connected with the progress of educa-
ton. but tho school law provides that
schools shall be used for educational pur-
poses only. and whether or not a school
boys club is educational or not is a ques-
ton. The opinion from the corporation
counsel will have broad effect, and will
apply to things other than the club at
the Emery School.

FREED FROM ILLEGAL ARREST
White Friends Rescue colorsd Woman
From Clutches Of Police.

StaAsNa~a F0llGos
The Charleston Is. c. Messenger,
under date OF Dec. "a. 1910, says:
Conditions are improving for the
Negro In the south, and right here last
week we saw evidences OF the remark
able change for the better that Is 20
ing on One week ago a policeman,
suspecting a certain colored house,
went there to arrest a woman and
broke open the door to do so. The
woman had done nothing, but submit
ted and went to the lookup with the
ohicer.
There she gave bail for the charge
Of disorderly conduct and returned
home, feeling deeply the outrage Of an
Illegal arrest. She made known her
troubles to her white neighbors, who
kindly took the matter up, caused an
investigation by the police committee
Of the city council and produced sufA-
cient testimony from surrounding
neighbors to prove that the officer ex-
ceeded his authority In making the
arrest.
in the meantime she was tried by
the mayor and fined so for disorderly
conduct, but at a meeting Of the town
council Friday night a motion was
made to remit the fine. The mayor
hesitated In putting the motion. but
he was forced to do so. and the mo-
ton was carried.
''The matter stirred up the council
for awhile. and the mayor threatened
to resign. But the fine was returned,
justice prevailed and matters have
again assumed their equilibrium. His
truth is marching on"

RAPHAEL ON THE NEW YEAR.
Predicts an Earthquake Near Wash
inston Next Summer.

Raphaers almanac or prophetic mes
senger for 1911, just published, says
prospects for the year in the United
States generally are good, although It
gives warning OF a seismic disturb
ance TO occur near Washington In
the summer. Raphael predicted the
death OF Queen Victoria and In 1910
published a paper indicating the death
Of King Edward VII.
For the winter quarter beginning
Dec. p the almanac says in relation to
affairs in the United States:
There will be an increase OF honor
to the president. Some notable mar
riages are likely. In congress there
will be much wrangling and recrimi-
nation, and there will be a wave Of
discomfort in the eastern states. The
navy will benefit, and foreign affairs
viii be prosperous. Fires and explo-
sions on board ships will be preva-
lent"
For the summer quarter beginning
June % the almanac says:
The people will be successful, the
revenue good and trade returns far
above the average, but there will be
much scandal in high places. Some
notable men are in danger Of disgrace,
and the president will have serious
trouble to face"
For the autumn quarter a loss to
trade is predicted owing to bad legis-
lation, but "all amusement places will
prosper"
The almanac predicts a very pros
porous year for Germany and, speak
ing Of Japan, foresees trouble with
foreign powers and the likelihood Of
war.
A bad year is predicted for the king
Of Spain, and in January, October and
November II is prognosticated that he
Is likely to suffer from III health, per
sonal dangers and violence. The al
manac also predicts trouble for Greece.
