the first time in several years and re-
dedicated to its original mission. The
children Of the neighbo rhood and the
teacher Miss Evelyn Morgan, We're on
hand at the appointed time but there
was no school as there wasn't any
schoolhouse. The building was burn
ed sunday night and it is supposed
that some boy or boys took this means
of avoiding the necessity of attending
school.
The fire started In the woodshed and
was undoubtedly of incendlary origin.
States Attorney Is. l.. Stafford of this
city was In Ira to-day, but failed to get
any clue to the identity of the incendiar-
les. The children in this district have
for several years been transported to the
central district school hut the recent in
fuX of Polish families have made it ne
cessary to repair the building on Tower
hill and this was done at a cost OF sew
eral hundred dollars. The loss Is esti-
mated at $1,000 and there is no insurance.

prepared for transfer to the Canal zone,
they We're not expecting to leave before

that this regiment will be kept on the
Pacific coast until after the troops now
on the Mexican border are relieved of
duty there, or until after the exposition

out a garrison except for the few men

Something similar. although on a very

the establishment of new rural depart
ment, and the agricultural scheme pro-
posed for the Punjab by the Bishop Of

strongest tendencies of the times. and II
given a proper chance will almost GER

What is the ultimate process Of It all?
It is to teach the Christians OF India,
nearly 80 per cent Of whom live in VII

damental industry of the country. It is
to help create Christian character and
industrial efficiency. and SO to provide
solid basis for self-support.
