Dr. Schaeffer, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, has indicated in a
circular letter the kind of blank book
to be supplied by the County Com
missioner to the several Assessors
for the taking of the school census.
He suggests that the book should
be ruled with the following columns :
(1) Name of the child, (2) residence
or sub-school district, (3) age, (4)
sex, (5) color, (6) the number of
weeks at school during this year,
(7) cause of non attendance in case
of prolonged absence, (8) name
of parents, guardian or other person
having charge of the child, (9) a
column of remarks, in which may
be entered the occupation of the child
when out of school, or any other
helpful information. The census will
be used in the attempt to enforce the
Compulsory Education law. Ex.
" outcast!" Of "a QEEAT CITX."
Among the snccessful productions
this season is the " Outcasts of a
Great City," with the versatile come
dian, Dan'l A. Kelly, in the title role.

the test of three weeks production in
New York City, where it was not only
well received by the public, but in ad
dition was credited by the press with
having made a distinct success. The
play, while of the sensational order,
is said to have a well defined and de
cidedly interesting plot, which is well
told. As indicated by its title, there
is introduced a Brooklyn Bridge scene,
showing the home of the outcasts un
der the docks. Mr. Kelly is support
ed by Miss Helen Desmond and a
capable company. "Outcasts of a
Great City " will be presented at the

Armenia and Christianity.
Armenians bear the distinction of
being one of the first races to accept
Christianity, their king Dertad receiv
ing baptism in 276 A. D., which was
thirty seven before the Roman Em
peror Constantine dared even to issue
the Edict of Toleration ; and theirs,
too, is the distinction among the na
tions of having suffered most for
Christianity. With every century
their martyr roll has grown, until in
this enlightened age the thousands
upon thousands of victims have
marked the climax. Through the
centuries of their trial the Church has
been their rallying point ; even the
most ignorant have been deeply im
pressed with the life of Christ, and in
their troubles his example has been
their strength.
It is said that the pre aching of
Gregory, a Parthian noble who was
afterward canonized and who has been
called the "Illuminator," was thq
cause of the acceptance of Christian
ity in Armenia. He baptised the
king and queen, and the people on
the Euphrates ; he consecrated four
hundred bishops and an immense
number of priests and deacons. The
idol temples were destroyed, and
churches and convents erected on
their sites.
The worship in the Armenian
Church is Episcopalian in its form,
and neither the Pope at Rome nor the
Greek Patriarch at Constantinople
has any authority over it. There are
two patriarchal sees : one in Constan
tinople and one in Jerusalem. The
Armenian Church discards the doc
trine of purgatory and holds to bap
tismal regeneration. The priests
marry, but after the death of their
wives are forbidden to remarry. Ma
trimony is prohibited to the bishops
and all ecclesiastics above the grade
of priest. From " Unfortunate Arme
nia" in Demorest's Magazine for
March.
k GOOD O0N0EET.
Notwithstanding the storm of Mon
day night, a fair audience gathered at
the Normal Auditorium to attend the
musicale given by the music depart
ment. The program was printed in
maroon on orange paper, and the
numbers consisted of selections from
the works of living American born
composers, bach number was well
rendered, and the entire program
reflected great credit upon the per
formers, and upon their instructors,
Misses Haas and Stump, under whose
direction the music department of the
Normal has taken wonderful strides. .
