ia PROMOTION.

Johnston r. Mlnch became the rail-.
road station agent at Buxton when he
was % years old. On being appointed
! to the post he married. Mrs. Minch
and he used to spend their evenings
planning what they would do when
promotion should take him to m of
the larger towns where, In addition
to a greater income. they would enjoy
a certain Measure Of social life. II
was agreed between them that this
promotion might be a little deferred.
I Nevertheless there could be no doubt
OF Its sure arrival.
Mr.. Minch got up at 6 every morn
ing and opened the station. There were
two trains n day that stopped at
I'uxton-one each way. Mrs. Minch
cleaned and filled the oil lamps that
lighted the small room designed to
house baggage and intending passen-
gers, as well as her husband while on
duty. Mr.. Minch took the mail at 10
o'clock. An express hurting past flung
the bag contemptuously forth. II
rolled In the ditch and then settled
Imply. Mr.. Minch's morning paper
was inside. Sometimes there was u
picture postcard from her son for Mrs.
! Alvin, half a mile down the Portion
road. The other three residents OF
Buxton occasionally received circulars
from a copper mining company whose
shares Minch could never find listed
In his paper, although he looked for
them repeatedly. \ word in the finan-
| cia pages caught his eye.

Mrs. M!nch, looking rather peaked
said she hoped he would ind enough
to eat-she had felt so poorly that she
hadn't cooked much.
After five years the two spoke to
each other less frequently of the pros
poets OF Mr.. Minch's promotion. After
ten years Mrs. Minch used to say that
she hoped IL would come on account
of the children.
"1t would he So much better for
them II they could get good schooling"
she told her husband. He assented
cheerfully. ard continued his carrulous
account of how Mrs. Alvin's son had
bought a mileage book that morning.
'Of course ! thanked him. Minnie
Mr.. Minch told his wife. II don't re-
member to have sold a mileage book
before since the year I was appointed
here"
Hc started to reckon the time, hut
suddenly checked himself and began
reading his paper.

found occasion for pride in the more
active life imposed upon him. Mrs
M:ncli did not respond readily to his
enthusiasm. Their oldest boy was al
work on . farm some miles away. The
girl was still home. She did much of
the work, for her mother had failed
somewhat lately.

Blasting . Bright Hope.

Under Il statute enacted last year
the Board Of Estimate has erased
from the list Of city assets the sum
Of $1S,I03. 1850 Of un~collectable taxes
levied against the personal property
Of 92.s44 persons In the seven years
beginning with 1890. They represent
the e%ndeavOrs Of the authorities In

estates whose value was estimated by
the assessors on the strength OF In
formation derived from the city dl.
rect0ry and the telephone book. OF
the worth Of these estates the Off
Gals who put their on the
tax roll had no knowledge.
This incident Of city taxation Is
peculiarly interesting because Of the
fact that last year the Tax Commits
sioners with great flourish OF trum-
pets produced a tentative personal
tax roll Of astonishing length, which
they gravely said represented the up
proximate possibilities Of the personal
Tux. II was sadly reduced through
the familiar process Of swearing of,

PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC.
DR.. Rix's Sensible hut Incomplete View
Of a Difficult situation.

TIC THE EDITOR OF THE ScS-ST. I
notice on your editorial page an article
which apparently Is meant to condemn
an opinion which ! expressed with re-
gard to teaching dialect songs In the
public schools. This opinion was given
In spoons to a question proposed At
n meeting Of teacher during the recent
institute. I said. quite offhaud. that In
our peculiar conditions. with children
OF foreign percentage crowding tho
schools, Il was OF doubtful advantage
to teach these children anything but
good English. I said hat many OF the
dialect songs were quite as dignined and
full Of meaning II expressed In good
English As they would be In dialect,
especially since the children Of foreign
origin place undue emphasis upon the
words thus changed. and lake for
granted that the ungrammatical Eng
iish sometimes used IL good.
Your article mentions that old song
The Camptown Races and used this
as a text for some pleasantly. OF
course this song Is abs urd as fas as
public schools are concerned. We do
not teach the "Camptown Races and
We do not sing "Doo-dah.'
II "a our wish that the children should
sing only songs that are Of real merit
and that are Of lasting value. freely
admit the right of any one TO his own
opinion with regard TO dialec, songs.
Many very good people are thorough
believers IN them. simply say that
in my opinion II Is best To teach the
children good English. Whether one
