H HKR POINT OF VIEW Piobably Seinntoii Is not the onlj possessoi ivlusivily of lull d-lieai ted frchool contiollei.s who demand the ouutl of flesh liteiall in the two ses sions of school diiiluj? the hot weather which has piev ailed In June. Theic may bo other cities, thus ndllcted, but a lather close scrutiny of the papeis falls to bilns Huih .1 stato of affnlis to the hui face. In many places the day Is finished ut noon as far as school Is (oneerned. In othcis the morntnfr session opens a.t S 30, closing at 12.30, vhl( h Is do Idedly etioiiKh for the swel feiiin? pupils, not to say anything about the teaiheis. The school law ot Peiinsjlvnnla makes no demand fur thei than twenty ilns shnll constl tute a st hoot month The number of hums to be taimht aie nut specified, if a local .school boaul decides that one, ff !3,oti of thin houis shall be held, there Is no danger of losing the Htulo appioprlation because the day is two houis hhorl. It Is simply fiendish to havi afteinoon sessions on Mich days i-s Wediipslaj and Thutsdaj of this week huve been. If the nuinbeis of the board of contiol had the abiding love nnd Intel est for tho Bchool c Mi di en of this city that they profess ut commencements, piescutatlous and annual visitations they would havo called an extiu meeting and pissed a lesolutlonordciltig onesession thiough out tlie town, since they had been so obstinate or caioles.s not to do so ear lier In thu season, Now tills is heiesy this statement that I am about to make but It's, a fact nevertheless, and that Is tne month of June should be eliminated fiom the school calendar. It Is as much w asted by tho ehlldien who uie mciwd up In the hot school rooms of the city as It possibly could be, short of occupy ing It by going on ono wild, continuous chase. Tho whole system Is vvionp Talk about Ooveinoi Stone's Inlqiutoua pioeeedlngs of cutting down the tpiiro. pilatlons nnd thus shortening th school teim which, by the wny, It did not do at all as the monuv was nut thus applied the governoi U a groat and good man, oven If he did full t ) appear In n dress suit at a certain col lego comment ement reception the oth er night.

It is no more earthly uso to hold school on such dais as wo havo hail last week and this thnn It would bu to insist that tho children learn to wilte nnd speak Sanskrit in ono month.
