The Card.Indexed Child.

Nearly every institution, bus
ness, charitable, educational or
otherwise, is now handled by the
card index system, and now the
school children of the United States
are to be card indeXed. The United
States commissioner of education
ha adopted The system, and an
nOunces every one Of the school
children of the United States will
ultimately be card-indeXed. For
the new system it is claimed:
With the new card-cataiOlue SyS-
TEN IN full operation throughout
the country. definite and scientific
answer cal be made to a large
number Of questions the solution
to which must now be guess d IN
large measure. How many times
has a child been detained in a
grade? How many backward.
over age, or retarded children are
there in Il given city's schools!
How does this showing compare
with other cities? Does foreign
birth affect progress? If SO. how?
Does kindergarten training help a
child through the grades! How
does absence from school affect
progress!
These and other like questions
can be answered readily and accur-
ateiy when the new cumulative
card-indeX. in which every young
American has his place, can be
drawn upon for the information
Parents of children possessing
more than the average mentally
have been inclined, sometimes, to
object to the modern school meth
DDS, as inclined to keep the bright
err children down to the level Of the
average child, or pos IDLY a little
less than the average. The card
index system will not get the
schools away from the system bas-
ed upon the average child's abili-
ties which, after all, is the only
practical working system possible
but it will enable the national
bureau of education to keep COM
pletly posted upon the progress OF
the American schools, and will give
valuable working data that in time
will furnish interesting statistics.

CONGRESS AIMS AT
JAIL MADE GOODS

Washington, ID. C.,Juiy IL. Al
most u~nnoticed the house has pass
ed "a bill which may mark the be-
ginning Of the end Of IA struggle
which organized labor has been
making for over a hundred years
against convict-made goods, writes
the Washington correspondent OF
the New York Evening Post. This
bill, which was introduced by Rep
r%esentative Booher, Of Missouri,
provides. in effect, that AL goods
manufactured wholly or III
part by convict labor, or III any
prison or ~reformatory, transported
into any state shall, upon ar
rival and delivery in. such state, be
subject to the operation and effect
of the laws of such state and
shall not be exempt therefrom by
reason Of being introduced in orr
ginal packages or otherwise
Should this pass both houses,
said gulian Leayitt, author OF re-
cent magazine Articles on tue prls-
ons Of the United States, 1T would
root out the contract system from
all the state prisons in a few
years
Tie bill has a long and, to labor,
di.couraging history. 1t was orig
inally framed by the industrial
commission of 1900. 1t has been
pushed by the labor people ever
since, but with little prog eSs until
the present congress. Recently.
however, it has had the support
not only of the labor people, but
also of employers of free labor IN
several states who, as tie report
Of the house committee on labor
afirms, unite in affirming that
when any convict-made product is
placed in competition with the
product Of free labor the market
becomes d~emoraiized, even a small
sale affecting prices far out OF pro-
portion to the amount Of the sale.
Every state objects to being made
the market for cOnvlct-made
goods produced in other states
1t appears that half the states in
the union have abolished the con-
tract system IN their prisons, while
the other half retain it in one form
or another. The abolition states,
however, have merely become the
dumping ground for the convict
made goods Of other states, so that
working women of New York, for
example, still must meet convict
competition from Maryland, Ken
lucky, Missouri and so on, although
New York herself drove out the
contract system in 1894. The bill
simply aims to subject convict
made goods to the laws Of the par
ticular state into which they are
imported.
The manufacturers" said Rep
resentative Hensley, of Missouri, in
reporting the bill to the house,
look upon the competition of
prison-made goods from other
states as a special grievance.
Organized labor, it is understood,
as we'll as some Of the manufacture
mo interests of the cOuntrv. are
combining their efforts to urge up
on the senate the necessity for the
passage of this bill. 1t is now in
the keeping of the senate commit
tee on Judiciary.

The Fly Really DANGEROUS.

There is real danger in flies.
The swat campaign hasn't gained
much force in Aberdeen but it
ought to. DR.. Woods Hutchinson
has some positive ideas and he
speaks right out as follows:
No longer can we dismiss the
fly with a contemptuous Shoe;
He is an influence to be reckoned
with. Black as he is painted, we
must concede him certain virtues.
From a worldly point of view, he
is a hustler from way back;
p%erpetually on the job, and always
delivers the goods.
He distributes samples of pes
thence with a lavish hand, and the
goods always match the samples
whether you have ordered them or
not, and are marked ID. 0. D.
Death on Delivery.
We may admire the fly for his
industry, pertinacity and business
enterprise. We may even love
him- lukewarmly-as one of Gods
creatures, but we had better wipe
him gently but firmly out of exist
ence, just the same. Flies, like
Artemusard's Injuns, is pizen
wherever found
He is the best travelling sales
man known to humanity; carries a
grip on each side of his six legs
and a trunk on his head. His line
of samples is the most extensive
and longest known, and will last
you, not merely from this year to
next, but from time to eternity.
"A fly in the house is as danger
Gus as a rattlesnake, as fifty as a
louise, and as disgraceful as a bed
bug. The time will come when
any modern, clearly home will feel
itself shamed and disgraced by the
presence of a fly, and when every
householder upon whose premises
a brood of flies is detected will be
heavily fined or sent to jail

A Mouldy Chestnut

You have all heard the story about the
banker who refused to correct a mistake after
the customer had left the Paying Teller
window. He had overpaid the customer, SO
the wild old Gus toner p%ocketed the money
and walked out. 1t is told with variations
everywhere. and never stops travelling. IL
IS A MOULDY OLD CHESTNUT. Banks
want to transact business honestly, this bank
in particular. This bank wants to correct
mistakes and It's entire force will WORK over
time and away CT into the night TO run down
an error, to do exact justice. If a mistake
is made and yen have been oyerpald, we
would like to have our money back. If we
have not paid you in full it is coming to you
and we are just as ~nlliou that you should
get it. The man behind the wicket desires
your confidence, not your suspicion. The man
who invented that Chestnut story was a champ.
