CIVIC LEAGUE.

The Civic League has been accused
recently of being impartial This is un-
fair and untrue, for the highest aim of
the League is to do that work which
will do the most good to the greatest
number of people, and to do that first.
Hence its action on the question of city
sewerage. For the present. it is not
trying to do anything but "plain sew
ing" Later, it may undertake little
embroidery work. +" 1t favors the
move now on foot to build road to the
depot, and cannot consistently oppose
any Improvement, but if tae city cannot
affol d both the sewerage system and the
new road, the former should take first
place in public consideration, as public
health comes before public convenience.

you carry out the wishes Of the presi-
dept?" And he sale that is not my
idea of what constitutes the duties Of
trustee, thought the trustees were to
formulate the plans for the benefit OF
the University, and the president was
to carry them out and will not promise
to be controlled hv any man." and he
was left out. Well hope they will get
good man for president as Hardy was.
They will never get one that loved the
college any better and, although in the
IL years that he was president he hand
led over two millions of dollars. there
has never been a single charge of graft
made against him. l believe to the
'victor belongs the spoilsss" but don't
believe that our colleges ought to be
disturbed on account of politics and
that an entire change of the manner of
controlling them be changed just to
oust the men holding these positions.
We had a measure up this evening
looking to the abolishment of some OF
the four coast districts that were created
last session and was sorry to have to
vote different from my colleague; |
voted for the measure and both of them
voted against it | would have voted
against this measure last session but
| if we had voted to have had only one
new district, this would have necessi-
tated re-districting of the entire
state. Since we came here there has
been several bills introduced asking that
some of the court terms be cut out and
| hope we can get a re-districting and
get back to the cd number of court
districts and possibly an addition of one
or two. Well will have to close for
this week. Goodbye.

At its January meeting, Friday, the
Civic League voted for affiliated mem
bership, with the National or American
Civic Association. This move brings
the League in touch wita the best work
that is being done in all parts of our
country toward making town and rural
districts more healthful and beautiful.
The Leagues first duty is to work for
improved health conditions, and with
this in view, desires to call attention to
the mosquito nuisance.
The following is taken from a bull
letin of the A. G A.: Mosquitoes are
not only a nuisance, but menace. No
town can afford to feed hungry horde
of insects which are the only known
means of spreading malaria. The ex-
D ,rience Of the health officials in the
tropical climates is convincing proof
that the mosquito nuisance can be
abated, if not eliminated. The mosqui.
to problem is prominently heflth
question.
Bodies of water large enough to be
ruffied by the wind. or which are well
stocked with fish, are not breeding
places unless their borders ale shallow
or supply weed protected hooks; but
any small place which will hold water
for week-even tin can or tree
hole, piece of broken bottle. sag
ging roof-gutter or cistern- furnishes
breeding place. A campaign, to be
effective, must leaye no loop-hole open,
no nook unvisited.
The methods Of dealing with the
plague spots are two: One, the perma-
nent drainage or filling in Of all pools Of
standing water the other, the killing
of the larvae by spraying the surface
of all breeding places with fueloil. For
small and accessible pools and temporary
work, the latter is effective if the oils
renewed once in three weeks.
A number of hints for individual work
will be given in a following issue.

A Remarkable Historical Photo-PIay.
There are many so-called "histori-

Bullying SCHOOL HOUSES
WALL MENACE TO PUBLIC
Education Boards Committee
to Examine Structure.

With Supervising Architect Ernest
F. Guilbert and a representative of
the Hedden Construction Company,
the building committee of the Board
of Education will pay a visit to the
Lafayette Street School tomorrow
afternoon to determine, if possible,
just how the bullying walls may be
repaired.
Under the present plans of Mr..
Guilbert, the Congress street side of
the building will be repaired first, be-
cause of the danger to pedestrians
from falling bricks.
Though the contractors charged it
to the inspectors employed by the
board, the committee laid the respon-
sibility for the plaster falling at the
Madison Avenue School auditorium
on Cramp & Co. The latter's repre-
sentative, George J. Thomas, pro-
tested and claimed that the boards
inspectors ahd rushed the work dur
ing the winter without heat in the
room, thereby causing the damage.
School properties have been dam
aged by vandals and the COMMITTEES
will now take it up with the police
commissioners.
to purchase the properties adjoining
the Arlington Avenue School from
Nicholas Phillipes for s7.4o0. Tit
ground is wanted for an extension t.
the school.

Soon after he left she received a

son Jerry, who is 60 years old, and
four small grandchildren, whose par
ents are dead. The establishment is
in utter poverty. They have scarcely
enough to maintain themselves, and
Mrs. Smith fears that an insurance
policy which she has been carrying
for many years must lapse soon be-
cause of her inability to pay the next
premium.
Her health is failing, but 1t is evil
dent that If she can learn where her
son Is and can communicate with
him, her life will be prolonged.
