MORAL EDUCATION.

In moral education don't moralfze. This Is the advice of Prof. F. G. Gould. an English educator of note. who has been touring the United States as xdemonstrators for the Moral Education League of London. Prof. Gould's care fully worked out program for moral instruction in the elementary grades ciaIs as one of the most valuable of the present efforts to make education tell in fine character
 Storytelling forms the basis for most of the instruction in Prof. Gould's plan. Once week. or oftener, it is assumed, the teacher or princi- pal gives a systematic lesson on the conduct of life The various virtues are taught, not as distractions but by concrete examples and by interest ing stories. The teacher is not to say: This ought to be done" she IS rather to say: This thing has been done" Hearing constantly about right actions, the pupils learn to appreciate right conduct. The spirit behipd the. instruction is the spirit of service; but this and other technical terms are to be rarely, if ever, mentioned. M isI possible" Prof. Gould points out, %eU give many lessons on civic duty and ism, and yet the temper of consecra- ton to ones duty and country may permeate the teaching and inspire the pupils
 Prof. Gould disclaims anything nov el or faddish about his work It Is by no means new. he says. 1T have over and over again affirmed that my teaching was. in the strict sense of the term, antiauated; that is to say it consists of the employment of the concrete and dramatic manner which is illustrated by ancient poets as well

His most famous en- counters were his two battles with Tom nfolinesix. the American negro, and his bout with Jem BeIcher. the old ex-champion @who tried to .scome back, :, and who was defeated by Cribb only after a terrific tussIe.

PUBLIC OPINIOM TO BOND OR
 NOT TO BOND.

Editor Farmer. Sir:
 ITO bond or not to bond. That is put forward in. favor of bonding was that the poor man. if he wants a home, mortgages it and pays for it by degree. Very true. but nothing was said of the large number who sooner or later face foreclosure mortgage and lose all Again. if the great railroads need Improvements, they borrow and pay back by degree. The borrowing part of this proposition is TRUE but the paying back is Sas raise as-. For example: several years ago the Connecticut Company Borrow ed about $50. 100000 for improvements. Scarcely year ago this same company petitioned for permission to issue $60 V 00o,00 in bonds. What for? I'm provements. Oh, my, No! They must issue these bonds or go into bank ruptcy. Why? Simply because they had mot paid back and needed $50 0oo, 900 to do as-.'robblng Peter to pay Paul"
 This is the way the great railroads do and if any man in Bridgeport undertook to do business in this man. ner. 1t would not be long till Brad streets and Duns would rate him as N. =
 Bridgeport needs all these i'm prove ments, no doubt, but not badly enough to set aside the advice that has been 0AAA6S0 lIlLG QuE ears from time iTDma-N moria-l, "do not get into debt'' Avoid debt as you would the plague And what is good enough advice from par ents to children is good enough for the city.
 Aside from the school bonds every proposition should be defeated. This might make a direct tax necessary put 1T any heavy taxpayer loses sIeep or groans beneath the burden of this extra mill tax. if he will turn his property over to me I will see that the tax is paid.
 Does any one really and seriously believe that tho Stratford avenue bridge will stand up fop 50 years? There IS no question but that it will have to be replaced before the bonds mature That's the way the railroads do business That's the way the Con- solidated has done. Shall Bridgeport be placed in the same position?
 To bond or not to bond. Tna.t.s the question:
 Very truly, GEO H eonycrp

 The bishop and the priest were engaged in establishing missions. One evening as they were seated around camp fire with some na- lives the priest suddenly rose to his feet and shot the bishop dead.
 MT. Michaelson says that during the trial everyone, particularly the officials and the officers of the gov ernment ship then at Sitka, were in favor of the acQuittal of the priest. The defense was the in sanity plea but the jury brought in verdict of manslaughter.
 The priest was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary but dis appeared after three years. The probability is, although MT. Michael son does not say so, that the authori- ties believed him insane and had him removed to an asylum.

 Is Declared Good

From the present outlook, Tolo- vana will boom when spring opens, for the men returning from there express confidence in the camp Sixteen men returned to Cleary creek Friday with varying reports, though they generally agreed that the outlook is good.
 Among those returning Friday were: Tom Purdy, Mike O'Malley. Lon Daggett, and John Wahlgren. The latter is quoted as saying that the outlook for quartz prospecting on the upper Tolovana is good. One of the returning men said he did not believe that the strike would amount to much, except for dredg- ing.
 Some of those returning have staked ground on Mike Hess creek and will return there for work this winter. It is stated that the min CTS now on the ground are building "abins and will put in busy win ter prospecting.

In the discussion of the citizen ship rights of American born women who have married foreigners, the tact was overlooked that Clerk Me Bride, of the federal court in Fair banks. has on file instructions from the bureau of naturalization in Wash ington, in which it is pointed out, That any American woman who mar ries foreigner shall take the na- tionality of her husband"
 Mir. Me Brides letter of instruc. tions on the matter is as follows: "U. s. Department of Labor Bureau

FULLER RESIGNS
 AS jUDCE HERE

That F. F. Fuller's resignation as judge for the Fourth division was accepted by the attorney general of the United States on last Thurs day was the information that was received in Fairbanks last Friday. It is understood that no successor has been appointed, though several local attorneys are known to be ap- plying for the job.
 Before Mr Fuller left for the Out side he confided in some of his friends that he had sent in his resignation, but he denied that he had been asked to resign. He was planning when he left Fairbanks, according to statements Ee made to his friends here to look for a loca- tion for legal practice, and he was thinking of going to California for that purpose.
 It seems from what can be learn ed here, that MT Fuller had been contemplating sending in his resig nation for several months. His final decision came it seems, when he realized that J. J. Crossley had been asked to resign, for MT. Fuller was known among his friends to be opposed to holding office that his superiors in Washington felt he was not politically entitled to hold. It is not known that anybody in Fair banks had taken steps to seek MT. Fuller's removal, and 1t is believed that he would not have been asked to resign until his term of office expired

HOLY GRAIL" BROKEN.

ROME.-Both religious devotees and art lovers have learned with regret that recent reports of the breaking of the Holy Grail" beyond repair at the Cathedral of Genoa are true, although satisfactory ex- plantations of the accident are still lacking. One expert who ascribed the breaking of the ancient basin to dampness in the cathedral is popu- larly suspected of shielding someone who accidentally broke the vessel.
