BOARD OF EDUCATION
HEARS REPORTS AND
HAS BUSY MEETING
MOST GRATIFYING SHOWING IN
EVERY DEPARTMENT OF
SCHOOL WORK.
Bills for Repairs Ordered Paid and
Matter of Sewerage at Andrews
Building to Be Taken Up With the
City Sewerage Committee.

There was most interesting and
instructive meeting of the Board of
Education at the city hall Tuesday
night, the first since the opening of
the schools.
1t was purely practical business
meeting, and many therebe, loubt-
less, who are ready to criticise the
men who do this work, who know
nothing of the intricate, and many
times harassing details with which
they have to deal. The meeting on
Tuesday night was one which it
would have been good for many to
hear, as there were many little mat
ters to be Strengthened out, and it
demonstrated the breadth and care
full consideration of the members OF
the board and showed that they GER
tainly are conscientious in their ac-
tions regarding the comfort, health
and education of the children of the
public schools.
Prof. Harris made his report Of the
various openings, and the bills for
the repairs and additions which have
been done during the summer came
up for settlement, having been and-
ited and passed on by the proper com
mittee. Bills to the amount OF about
$3.50 were ordered paid. 1r
The superintendent report show
ed that there are in the schools Of
the town, both white and. colored,
1895 pupils, distributed as follows
In the white schools: At the An
drews building, 1876; in the grades at
the Athenaeum, IA; in the High
School at the Athenaeum, 214; max.
ing total Of 6S4, In the different
grades at the colored school 40S
With grand total of 1,096.
The superintendent reported that
there was more sympathy and unity
of action and purposes existing
among the pupils and teachers than
usual and that the prospects were OF
the very best. He presented figures
showing that there was healthy in
crease in every grade in the school
over any former year, and he attrib.
uted this to the growing sentiment in
favor of the public schools. In the
high school the country pupils out
numbered te city pupils by good per
cent.
When it came to the additions and
repairs the report gave as much rea'
son almost for qualification as did the
report along other lines.
He said that the biggest PROPOSE,
ton that confronts the present day
school man in the congested districts
is that of sanitation, and that every
thing had been done during the sum,
mer had been done with sanitation
and comfort in view, and the details
of the report showed this to be true
A committee consisting of Erwin
Hutton and Adkisson was appointed
to take up the matter of sewerage al
the Andrews building with the city
sewerage committee, and to report
the findings and the recommends
tions at the next meeting OF the
hoard. which will take place the first
Tuesday night in November, which
will take place the first Tuesday
night in November, which will be
The 7th.

tive editions Of the cacophonous inyen-
lions OF Richard Strauss.
To carry the idea further, child who
has the laudable ambition to become the
tympanist IN a symphony orchestra
might be taught TO drum on the window
pane on rainy days; he should be fed on
drunlsticks; he is to be encouraged 10

BURGLARS Loot New York Home
of Gems Valued
at $4,000.

NEW YORK, March 11.-No clue had
been obtained by the police today to the
thieves who entered the home of Oscar
e. Stevens, an engineer Of the Western
Electric Company, at No. 129 East 18th
street, within stones throw Of Gram
Grey Park, Tuesday night or early
Wednesday morning. and stole gems
worth nearly $4,000. Only two maids
Caroline, the two-year-old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens. were in the house
when the thieves entered. How they
gained an entrance is not known.
Mr.. Stevens. who is a son Of Mrs Berke-
ley MoStyn of No. East 1eth street,
was in Boston Tuesday attending the fu-
neral Of Judge Lowell, an old friend, and
Mrs. Caroline Stevens, whose father is
Col. r. H. Morgan of New Bedford,
Mass, was spending the night with Mrs.
Philip Hiss of No. IS West 11th street.
The two maids left in charge Of the house
heard no unusual noises during the night.
Maid Gives Alarm.
The robbery was discovered in the
morning by Mary Molloy. She ran to the
room occupied by Margaret Shevlin and
little Caroline. and the police regard it as
significant that she had to pound on the
door for several minutes before she could
arouse the nurse. The police believe that
the nurse and the child had been chloro-
formed by the thieves.
When the two maids reached the kitchen
they found the window open. On the floor
was Mrs. Stevens Jewel case. In it were
an old-fashioned brooch and several
trinkets. The thieves had taken a ring
set with large emerald and diamonds,
a diamond necklace OF thirty-flve half
carat stones. ring set with a three-carat
and three smaller diamonds dia-
mond pendant with PLATINUM scrolls. two
carat diamond ring. gold watch and chain,
and ruby ring, necklace of pearls
and turquoise, pink sapphire and tour
maline pendant, sapphire and diamond
ring and another gold watch and chain
fifty years old and a family heirloom.
Police Start Investigation.
The police Of the east 22d street station
were notified and Capt. Foy and Detective
F'lannery started an investigation.

she learned Of the robbery, told the police

CARDS other Moslems. Among these the
Arabs are the first to be considered. for
they are best fitted for keeping up and
propa eating the religious tie between all
the sectarians of the same faith. Arabs
should be treated as favorite sons by the

that If the empire gains great glory by
their submission to its ruler the true
faith also gains from the prestige put by
