LIBERTY BELL ID
 G0 VIA SEATTLE
Philadelphia Authorities Grant Re- quest To Have 1t Routed Via
 Spirit City.

PHILADELPHIA, May 6.-The city government has decided to grant the request of the people of Seattle and will send the Liberty Bell from here to San Francisco via Seattle, in which city it will be allowed to re- man long enough for the children of the Puget Sound metropolis to see the bell that was rung when the Dec laration of Independence was signed and the United States was born in 1776.
 It was feared that the big crack in the bell might be made larger if the bell were sent across the coun- try, but experts stated that with careful handling the bell would not suffer any injury.
 It is understood that the San Fran cisco authorities have insured the safe arrival of the bell at San Fran cisco for several millions of dollars and have also placed big policy on it to reimburse the city of Philadel- phia in the event of an accident that would result in injury to or loss of the historic bell.
 A special train will take it from here to San Francisco and frequent stops will be made along the route SO that school children acneoia1lv oon view the Liberty Bell.

crossinu the Channel.

What landing at Sandwich was like in 1888 we learn from Hubertus, the envoy of the Palsgrave Frederick to Henry vI1I., whose story is given in Mrs. Henry Gusts "Gentlemen Er- rant" Hubertus was detained for week at Calais by stormy weather and had a terrible time when he finally hired a ship and crossed. A young Englishman compelled the sailors to do their duty by ropes ends and threats of death, and taught Hubertus, who was "middling seasick." to pump out the water, which he did "till at the break of morning. the winds fell, and we saw the mountains of England spread out before us." They found themselves off Sandwich (that noun tainous district and were taken oh the ship In small boats and carried lon neck or back" to land.-London Chron- icle.

Fame of Tenedos.

Tenedos. which certain powers have taken away from Greece. has become well known by name from having the good luck to get mentioned in the first book of Homer's "Iliad" instead of the last, as well as in the beginning of Yer girs "Aeneid." Ever since Homer's day this fertile islet. lying at the en- trance to the Dardanelles. has been considered of great strategic impor- tance. During classical times the laws and civil institutions of Tenedos were celebrated for their wiadom and wera discussed with approval in a lost tres' nse of Aristo.la.

Ths Moth and the Flame.

A naturalist states that moth-and for that matter many other insects will fly toward a flame for the same reason that a plant seeks the light. Insects, it seems. move in the direc- ton of the light rays that fall upon them. But the light must be of con- siderable intensity to produce mark ed result. Toward a feeble glare the insect would move but leisurely, but in the case of a concentrated light like the flame of a candle or lamp the in- sect travels with great rapidity to its death.

NORTHWESTERN
 NOT REPORTED

Although the steamer Northwestern left Juneau at 7:3O on Tuesday, up to the time of going to press, the steamer had not been reported as arriving at Cordova. The line be- tween Cordova and Valdez is very busy, as all the business west of Cor dova, including the interior, comes over that cable and it is possible that the ship has reached the railroad town but has not been reported be- cause of the large amount of commer- cial business which the operators are rushing through.

NEW PLANS FOR

DR.. w. A. Colledge, director Of
the Educational Department of the
Redpath Chautauquas, announces o
change which is to be made in the
children's work during the present
season. A method has been adopt
ed for presenting stories, folk dane
ing and games to children in a more
systematic manner.
On the first day the young women
in charge Of this work at each
Chautauqua will tell Indian folk
tales and teach the children a few
Of the simple folk dances Of the
Indians. On the second there will
be Russian folk tales and Russian
folk dancing; on the third day Ger
man folk tales and dances and on
the fourth day Scandinavian folk
tales and dances.
The children's workers will also
be ready to give to the parents in
each community two informal talks
on such subjects as "The Place Of
the Story in the Education Of a
Child" and "The Value Of Play in
the Moral Development Of Children" {"

schools as conveniently located as
possible with free high school at
the centre Of the township which any
pupil was at liberty to attend when
he could pass the examination.
Since the above date we have been
accommodating our school population
in a 5-room building located near
the centre Of the township to and
from which every pupil living more
than a half mile from the centre
is conveyed at public expense.
Nine Covered Wagons.
Built expressly for the purpose
with q view to health and comfort
Of the occupants, owned by the
route contractors, call at the home
Of every pupil in the morning and
return every pupil to his home after
school. Our routes vary in length
from 2H to s miles and cost US
from So cents to $1.65 per day.
These routes are let to the lowest
responsible and satisfactory bidder.
In the letting Of routes the moral
character of the contractor is taken
into consideration and he is put
under strict bond, not only to do
the work, but is held responsible
under the Superintendent Of Schools
for both the comfort and the moral
condition and order in his wagon in
transit. To many people the price
at which we are able to let our
routes is matter Of surprise. 1t
should be remembered that during
the greater part Of the year both
trips can be made in four hours or
less, and that during the balance Of
the year when more time is required,
our contractors are usually farmers
with few acres who have to keep
q team anyhow are not very busy
on their farms. We have never had
any trouble in letting our routes,
and Of late have had enough routes
to supply all who wanted them. Be-
fore this system was put into oper-
alton some prospective patrons wor-
ried little as to what might happen
should a child be taken ill at school,
in some cases a considerable dis
tance from home. Our Board of
Education has provided against that
trouble by contracting with a man
to take any pupil to his house that
the Superintendent thinks for any
reason should go home. We have
not had to expend over So any year
for this purpose. 1t surely is
comfort to a parent to know his
child will be broght home if occa-
sion demands it. Speaking Of op-
position, it should be recorded that
when the proposition came before
years ago at our annual spring ell
ection, it was defeated by a tie
vote. Three weeks thereafter the
same or very similar proposition
pwas again submitted and with prac-
tically every vote in the township
cast, Capitalization carried by
majority of only II votes. 1t will
be seen that public sentiment was
pretty evenly divided, and that the
new system and the new school
would have very many critics. 1t
is a fair question to ask how have
these opponents been pleasedf
Perhaps as good evidence as I can
bring, is the result Of an investiga-
ton and canvass Of our township
made by visiting committee from
another county Of the State, in
their efforts to determine how the
new system was working. This
committee was composed of two
members, one of whom was sent
us as an opponent, the other as a

Advantages of Capitalization.

II need hardly take time OF space
in considering the advantages Of q
good graded school as compared
with the average sub district school.
Under a competent Superintendent
with large numbers and consequent
ly greater interest and enthusiasm,
with better teachers, and more sat
isfactory apparatus, more regular
attendance and absolutely no tardi-
mes, it goes without saying that we
have school beyond comparison
with our former district school. It
costs a little more money in our
case but we are getting more than
value received for it, and when this
is true the tax payer who has the
Of the public at heart is
satisfied.
Among the advantages not al
ready mentioned I should not fail
10 include the fact that we are able
10 keep the older boys in school
onger. Under the old system most

vass was made after our school had
been two years in operation. This
committee spent several days in our
community visiting not only the
school but many of the parents of
the pupils in their homes, and par
ticularly those people who resided
farthest from the school. Their re-
port to their own Board Of Educa-
ton (afterwards published) shows
seven out of 54 people interviewed
to be yet opposed to Capitalization.
But Of the seven opposed six of
them were without children in atten-
dance upon school. This was two
years ago. think public sentiment
is even more in favor of the "new
way" now than then.
Capitalization Is Here to Stay.
GAS further evidence that Gen.
tralization is here to stay attention
should be called to the fact that
while Gustavus was the first town
ship in the county to adopt the sys-
tenn, since we have adopted it every
township adjoining US have adopted
it and at the present time has in
operation similar schools. Those
who are nearest us seem to be most
favorably impressed with it's bene-
it,. AS to the comparative expense
of our public schools conducted in
the old and new way: The last year
we worked under the old way our
expenses were $24OO for teachers; |;
other expenses, 1855; a total of
$2955. Under the new system for
the year ending August, 1901, teach
ers, 1890, hauling pupils, $1755,
other. expenses, 5000, a total of
$3275.00. Deduct from this $75, re-
ceived from foreign tuition (not re-
ceived under the old system) and we
have an extra expense Of $245 for
the well supervised and graded GEN.
tral school as compared with the
Shit or miss" sub district way, with
a larger daily attendance under Gen.
tralization; the per capita cast is
about the same. Our taxable prop
erty is about $4,000, and our tax
rate for school purposes 9 to 10
mills on the dollar.
