mems degree team on large class of candidates.
 This change in date has been made on account of the Pomona Grange meeting which will be held in East Hampton on Tuesday. April 8. This meeting, also. has been changed from an all-day meeting to afternoon and evening meeting. The business session will start at 4:00 o'clock and the fifth degree will be conferred The evening session will be devoted to the lecturers pro- gram. The debate schedBled for this program is on Resolved; That we get more benefit from book knowledge than from actual experi- ence.' The affirmative will be taken by Mir. Brown and MT. Greenbacker of Meriden Grange and the negative by Mir. Hamlin and MT, Crocker of Burritt Grange.
 Other features on the program promises to be equally interesting. At a recent meeting of Central Pomona held in New Britain. con- siderable discussion in regard to the meeting hour took place, and il was finally decided to try out this new scheme, as many ot the members were of the opinion that more peo- pie would be able to attend the meeting at f o'clock than at 10;50 a. m. East Hampton was chosen. but while the Grange in that town has a good membership 1t is not very active. and it was the opinion of one of the members from East Hampton that if the afternoon ses- sion was tried out in it's Grange it might renew enthusiasm there.

And as often have Senators heard
from his lips: Lee did not surrender:
his soldiers were perishing. they were
overpowered, outnumbered, but they
were not cowed."
He scales the heights when he tells
them: When cease to praise and de-
fend the Southern soldiers and the nag
Of the Confederacy, this poor, iisping.
stanlmering tongue will lie silent in the
grave"
There's reason for Blease's enthusi-
asm. His father was one who wore the
gray. Eleven Of his relatives served the
Confederacy.
1t was q picturesque affair, the pres
entation of the Stars and Bars, in
Blease's Office on the first floor Of the
Senate ONCE Building.
The daughter of the designer Of the
Confederate flag made the presentation.
Representative Fred Dominick Of South
Carolina made . speech, in which he
told Blease:
"Take this flag
"'For though conquered, we adore It,
Love the cold dead hands that bore 1t.
Weep for those who fell before 1t,
Pardoned those who trailed and tore
it,"
A telegram was read which expressed
the hope that the flag will bring you
a blessing and benediction in your work
for our country.
Senator Blease responded in accep-
tance with great gallantTy and feeling.
The climax came when the Eenator had
concluded. Maj. Rose, one Of Gen.
Mosby's men, stepped forward and, amid
death-like silence, kissed the Tag.

Today in
Washington History

Nav g. 1865. - President johnson
called a special meeting of the cabinet
this morning. The session lasted several
hours in the Presidents ONCE In the
Treasury Building. It's purpose was Kept
secret:
The object of the meeting, in the
opinion Of most of the Washington
newspaper correspondents, was to con-
slider several important matters with
reference to the attitude of the Federal
Government toward citizens of the
States lately engaged in fighting against
the United States Considerable pres
sure Is being quietly exerted on Presi-
dent johnson by the more radical Re-
publican leaders Of Congress to adopt
harsher means of reconstruction than
he has contemplated heretofore, or that
he has suggested in some of his public
addresses. This is, of course, all sur.
mise on the actual purpose OF the cab
met meeting was concerned, but 1t
seems likely this subject was at least
informally discussed.
This morning no coal derrickS are
working on the canal docks at George
town. The men are on q strike to pre-
vent their wages from being cut from
50 to $3.50 day. Last Summer the
workrnen employed at these docks by
agents of the coal companies were paid
So a day after they had demanded that
amount, and they have been getting
that ever since. Recently the agents
announced that their wages would be
cut to $150 day.
There Is plenty of work for the strik
ing workmen at the docks, but they
refused to touch a coal barge today for
tho wages offered. AS the boats are
Just beginning to arrive in large num-
bers from the coal mining regions at
the upper end Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, the coal companies will
probably be forced to yield to the de-
mands of the men.
The locks at the western terminus OF
the canal are out of repair, and this
has delayed large number Of coal
boats for the docks there. When this
morning the boats began to come in
rapidly, and the boatmen reported q
fleet Of so or go more on the way down
the canal, the prospect for serious con-
gestion seemed imminent.
Mrs. Lincoln's health Is still giving
concern to her friends. She is greatly
depressed in spirits, and those few per-
sons who are attending her at the White
House say that she at times gives vent
to her feelings in tears.
Secretary of State Seward and his
son Frederick, who were stabbed by
would-be assassins on the same night
that the late President Lincoln was
killed by Booth, are reported today to
be improving rapidly.

Investments and Borrowing.

When a woman needs cash urgently
she win have reason to be thankful If
her investments are OF O worthwhile
sort. A bank will often lend up TO 30
per cent of the market value OF hold
ings. providing they are neither specu-
lative or of type subject to wide huc-
tuations.
In the past women have sometimes
hesitated to put stock up as collateral
when q rise in their stock was ex-
pected, because Of a fallaclous belief
that stock collateral could not be
touched while securing a loan.
AS matter Of fact, OF course, either
of two ways to realize on such an OPP
portunity might be employed. If one
has other stocks or bonds to replace
those one wishes to sell, one need only
make application at her bank. Explain
your purpose in making the change.
OF course It will be necessary to re-
place the stock desired for sale with
stock or securities Of satisfactory cur
rent value.
Every woman, however, Is not able
to duplicate the original collateral. In
deed most women cannot. They may
choose the other way to realize the
available profit on their stock.
They may instruct their bank to
sell the stock at the market price, and
apply the cash realized to the settle
ment Of their account with the bank.
II there is an leverage" or surplus, it
can be credited to their accounts. A
woman may even request the bank to
reinvest the amount realized in other
securities with the approval and con-
sent of the bank.
Naturally a woman with high-grade
stocks and bonds will find borrowing
easier than the woman whose bonds
are not Of the best grade and whose
stocks are distinctly speculative.
Borrowing on investments Is easiest
because 1t Is not necessary, as in the
case of realty collateral, to establish
title, or equity. Investments are more
readily accepted than other forms of

OUR CHILDREN
~ ANGELO PArRi.
Promotion.

Promotion.
As the school term ends the teachers
begin to worry about promotions. Who
shall be promoted and who shall be left
back? There is always the group about
whom there can be no question. They
go forward. They have not been abb
sent" They have been in their places
every day on time with all work well
prepared. Bright, healthy children are
always promoted.
But after that group Is checked of
there remain the others, those whom
the teacher is certain about, hopeless
leftovers. Some of them have been Ill
and 80 could not do the grade work.
Some were backward and couldn't grasp
the ideas. These the teacher sets aside
as settled FOLLOWERS.
But now comes that group about
which she cannot feel safe. This one
does well in the English branches, but
arithmetic Is total failure. That one
ought to do well, but he doesn't seem to
get down to business. II Mary would
jush brush up q little on grammar and
geography, she might pull through. And
there's Henry. If the next teacher could
be counted on to give him a chance, be
a little lenient for the first month or
bit over age now. What is to be done
about these doubtful children?
When in doubt about promotion, I
would set aside the grade work for the
time and look at the child as a power,
as q mind power. Is he intelligent? If
he Is, why didn't he make the grade?
Perhaps he needed medical attention.
Perhaps he needed little special help
and didn't get it. Maybe he is expert
encing new growth of body and hasn't
enough energy left for mental work.
Perhaps home conditions have held him
back. Maybe he could do the work of
the next grade with certain conditions
imposed as to reviews every week?
It is better to try to send a child
ahead, usually, than to send him to the
same class for another term, If he Is
in this doubtful class. This is especially
true If the child has attended school
every day. Enough Of the course of
study has filtered through to form the
basis for the Interpretation Of the next
terms work. often a promotion stimu-
lateS his latent power into action, and
the child, with little special help, gets
ahead of himself, as it were.
Sometimes change OF teachers, a
change of classmates helps such child
If possible, a doubtful promotion case
ought not to remain with the same
teacher for another term. There are
exceptions to this as there are to every
other generality regarding children, but
unless the child and teacher request it,
the child should have new teacher for
the next term. I am taking for grant
ed, an unsafe thing to do, that the
teachers are all equally gifted, equally
dedicated to the service Of children
I would vote to send ahead every child
who had the intelligence to interpret
the next terms work and so adjust his
program as to strengthen deficiencies.
That would mean giving him the benefit
Of flexible school program. And that
