A Word Upon School Boards
H
OW STRANG K It Is."
said it suicessful Scran
ton florist a tluy or two
u
ago, "that we never ac
these plants and flowers
liiallv
see
grow."
closely
a plant
Although one watches ever so
mil recognizes every day how
lias grown sometimes In the
space of a moment flint a blossom is
unfolded or a leaf bud has opened the
actual life movement of the bud, the
blossom, the plant, has subtly escaped
the human vision.
It is tliu same willi the unfolding of
character in the child, the growth in
wisdom or culture, altliougb the mind
of parent, teacher or other observer
may note, at exceedingly brief Inter
vals sometimes, that the actual growth
of unfolding is a thing not only exist
ent but of the most marked degree.
But as the giowth and natural un
folding of vegetable life depends upon
llie nourishment nnd care it leceives,
whether from nature only or from na
ture aided by human cultivation, so
again is It with the child: the immortal
spirit, the folded mind, committed to
Hie caie and training of others. Thete
fore It Is that so much depends on the
trainer the paienl and teacher and
upon the methods tliey use, consciously
and liucou'-elously. The parent is com
paratively free In choice ir methods
wholly so except n fettered by his or
her own untitle and development.
But it is licit thus with the teacher
who H so constantly fVtlered by meth
ods prescribed by ollieis; often, ns the
public knows, proscribed by persons
unite unfitted by miy experience, train
ing or natural ability to make the pos
itive rules i oinnianded by tliein.
It is time, nnd far moie than time,
that politics should be forced out by
the enlightened sense of the American
nation from the influence it now ty
rnnnously exei Is in the choice of
school directors and cuntrollcis, and
the consentient evil influence it is per
mitted to have alsq on thpir selection
of teachers and superintendents. By
lio law of riKlit whatever is politics
allowed to enter the domain of school
control nnd school legislation.
The per capita circulation of money

Organizing the Militia.
I& TUB Kansas City Star Is to be
believed, the ictil significance
In the recent appointment of
Colonel Sanger as assistant
secretary of war, consists of
the fact that lie is expected to
frame a measure for the reorganiza
tion of the mllltlu. For years he has
made a special study of volunteer sys
tems. Long nn officer of the National
Guard of New York, ho recently com
pleted a tour of Europe for the pur
pose of collecting information as to the
lf.lultvo advantages nnd defects of the
American plan. Says the Star:
"The inefficiency of the present
method of nillltla organisation in the
United States wns strikingly shown at
the outbreak of the Spanish war. The
ir.cn were nrmed with the obsolete
Hprinnileld rifle, their equipage was de
llclent, and their lack of field train
ing appeared In th'i violent epidemics
that broke out in the camps. A I'mv
slates had provided adequately for
their trcops. Jn most the men were
ttt v condition for nctlvo service, It
Is understood that Secretary Root 1ms
n comprehensive plan to remedy thee
defects, which ho hopes to cany out
-with Colonel Sanger's aid, In the ie
organisation of the army the arlllloiy
was livrpase'l eighty per cjnt, the
cavalry fifty per cent., nnd the infan
try twenty per cent. This readjust
ment was planned with the expecta
tion that In tho ovent of war infantry
fould be r.ilhed und equipped with
niUctli niorv ease than cavulry, nnd cav
alry than nitlllory, The fuither de

Forest Health Camps.
H
OW TO CVHK consumption
In Its incipient stages, be
fore It has taken deep hold
of the system how to pro
long life, with n fair degree of comfort
In existence, for those In whom the
dreaded disease has made greater pro
gress, are questions that have taken
on more profound interest, everywhere,
since physicians began to proclaim the
disease contagious.
Tlie railtynf teller by medical means,
together with known cases wherein
dep seated lung troubles had been
stayed, sometimes cured, 'by outdoor
life in favorable climates, led long ngo
to the search by thousands of people
for such climates. It Is needless to call
the loll of Southern European health
lesorts. or to do more than to name
the Adirondack forests, the North Caro
lina mountains, Florida. Southern Cali
fornia, Minnesota, Colorado, each of
which in turn, and now all of them,
have their multitude of seekers for the
cure of consumption; or, at least, of
comfort In longer life.
Colorado last year oiganized the
Rocky Mountain
Hon, to conduct
colony situated
from Denver. Jt
Industrial Oignnlza
an industrial health
about twenty miles
has been started be
cause the majority of those who go to
Coloiado In search of health have not
the means to secure such conditions of
living as make their pilgrimage of the
slightest avail. The intention Is to
make the organization national in
seooe, to secure the co-operation of
every state in the Union, through Its
physicians, and by means of brunch or
ganizations of Its Young Women's
Sanatorium Auxiliary which has set
before itself the raising of "cottage
endowments." The labor of patients
"whom the industilal natuie of the col
ony will enable to avail themselves of
a change of climate while the disease
is In its inciplency" Is expected to go a
great way in the support of the plan.
The Colorado enterprise is a prac
tical and sensible one that mitfct com
mend Itself. Hut it is to one close at
home that we desire especially to call
the attention of a northeastern Penn
sylvania constituency of readers. Con
sumptives and people threatened with
consumption ought not to be obliged to
go to distant places when the best con
ditions can be as well secured for them
or by them nearer home, particularly
when the seeker after health has but
small financial means.
There is no siiter or better known
lellef from lung troubles than outdoor
life under the balsamic influence of the
pines and the health-giving air of the
woodlands in general. There Is no
suier Ionic and curative for those
-ti icii oni, run down, whose worn
nervous nnd physical condition invites
disease.
Eveiyone interested In the foiestiy
ciuestion and who has followed even
approximately the hard work, and the
results so far won by It, of Pennsyl
vania's commissioner of forestry. Dr.
Joseph t. Rothrock, has In memory
that when he began his campaign for
state forest reservations he set forth
their value as sanatorlums. as well, as
protectors of the sources of the water
supply of the commonwealth.
AVI tli this first summer of the new
century the forest possessions of the
state in our neighboring county of
Pike, and those over in Clinton county,
are to become available as health re
sorts. The state will supply (he tents
for forest camps, and the needful wood
for fuel, it nlso will see to the en
forcement of strict sanitary rules so
that there shall be no contamination of
springs or streams. Each camper out
will supply his own outfit, except the
tent, and his provisions, so that none
can feel themselves pauperized as they
avail themselves of the health resort
thus made possible and secured In Its
sanitary conditions by the state.
Already, says Mr. Oeorge Nox Mc
Cain, writing from TIarrlsburg to the
Philadelphia Press, there have been
ninny applications entered for admis
sion to the camps In the course of the
coming .summer. This Is only one lino
of the great good that the finest leser
vatlons. with the scientific r.uo of
tnem, will bring to Pennsylvania. Hut
It Is in itself one of Incalculable, enor
mous value to the poplr.

XLIXZ. LONDON'S GIGANTIC
HOUSING SCHEME.
THK AUTHOntTIKS or Undon hae expended
millions of pounds up to date in an en
dcaor to jllcilalr the wretched oondltlont
of the poor in the densely crowded tene
n.tnt di-drk'ts, but they hare just adopted a
plan whh h i.ills for tho building of a city for
the housing of ,i poor, at an Ckpensc, when com
pleted, of millions morr. It Is a scheme of
gigantic propoi t Ions, the liKe of which has ncier
been undei taking hy any other municipality in
the woild.
An old estute, williln .sit miles r( London, at
Tottenham, consisting of '-ii'i acre?, has been iui
cIhshI at 2.XX per atte, or JtM.OOO for ihc
bre land. The trad of land is divided into
two porftlon, lhe laiger containing 17!) acres,
the other being some little distance away. Both
will be titlllrfil for lhe housing scheme, and ac
commodations will he provided for about GS.O00
pu'sons when it is completed. On the larger
poition ,i city with loom for housing more than
40,000 people will be constructed with all possi
ble haste.
It has been estimated that this municipal pro
ject will lequiie the election of 5,779 two-stnry
cottages, S.'xi (.toics, (lunches, a free libraiy,
public buildings, roads, gardens and parta, sew
ers and various public utilities, the first rest
of which will be, it is slid. ft'.G.IViilO. This sum
does not include the construction of the water,
gas and electric lighting plants whicli are pic
s.idcd for in the general scheme. The library
has already been donated, and will cost the Lon
don County Council nothing.
The !.ning out of the city wilt lie in ron
fnimitj with modern Ideas, the general plan of
I'jris being the model. The public schools, the
flee libraiy and oilier public buildings, beside
the Moies, will be located in the lenler, from
which the aienucs will i.tdiate in various diiec
tions. 'I lie avenues will be fifty feet w'de and
the streels folly.
I'nlike many .imil.n scheme, curled out in
this tonnliy and e!(.evhne on a more limited
scale, a laige vaiiely of collagen will be con
stituted, Ino hloiics in height, many of which
will be semi-detached, while otheis will be
i lose together in a low in tho city stjle. Kieiy
efloit, is lo lie made to bleak up the uniformity
and monotony in .ippeaiame. Iljch cottage wilt
have .1 ,v.nd in flout and a mall plot of ground
ill the tear for a garden. The looms over the
Holes air to be fitted up for the use of the
Inchelor inemhris ot the community, to the ev
(ml of 2,000. in number.
Owing to the fact th.ll the liver Idossclc wind-
tlunuRh a cential portion of the laiger Uact of
land, the pnk which Is lo be pioiided will be
one of its mot xliiking tcjturis. Tho loundj.
linn, so to fiieik, of the paik system will be
m doi taken at the expense of the London juthori
tics, but tin addition of swings, pavilions, sand
pits, band stands jml the like, for (he rcricallon
(if men, women and thlldien. rue to lie donaled
by various persons, tome of whom have alieady
put up the cash for the purpose. 'lhe beauty
of the afreets will he gieatly enhanced by single
ions of trees, which aie to be planted on cither
side on all avenues and streets.
'lhe pivements will be of neluiaii block, wood
and macadam, bur befoici the pavements are
laid a complete sjslrm of sanitaiy sewers will
be constructed, the sewage of which will be put I
ficd by a modern pin ideation plant befnie it U
turned into the liver. Theie is to he included,
also in the general outfit of this model housing
scheme a desliuetor plant, which will not only
dlpoe of the eli.v''. wae in a Mnitary maimer,
bin also provide Mi'Sclent power to operate lhe
lighting plant lo light the streets. Provision is to
bo nude for lighting crtain houses with clectuc
ity", for which an extia unfal will be charged,
lively modern device for economizing the udmlnls
liallon of chic afTalrs will be brought into repo
sition in the conduct of this city, and at the same
time nothing will be sparrd In the way of e.
per.se lo make the conditions surrounding the
lives of the people comfortable and healthful,
'I he next largest scheme ever undertaken by
a inunleipallly for the belter housing of lhe hi
boilng classes was that which wai completed
only a few- months ago by the County Council
of nelhnal (Jrcen. Here fifteen acres of slums
were cleared, at a cost of $l, tt l.:U.". There vveic
.1,71') people unhoused, and the new buildings con
slniclcd on the old site provided accommodations
for i,:ist).
In place of the old. linievrorn, unsanltaiy tene.
inenls there are modern buildings, fitted with sail-
llaiy plumbing throughout. Resides tills, a smill
gulden, raided in lernces, uccuplis the center
n f the area, and wide, handsome streets radiate
fiom this cential point, The a if. I contains two
schools, and for gcneial ue baths and laundrl"s

'these schemes, although the laigest ever nu

TALKS BY THE
PUBLISHER
A Discussion of Various Topics.
When to Stop Advertising.
WHEN the population ceases to
multiply, and the generations
thnt crowd on after you nnd
never heard of you stop coming on.
When you have convinced everybody
whose life will touch yours that you
have better goods and lower prices
thnn they can get anywhere else.
When younger nnd fresher houses In
your line cease storting up and lining
the newspnpers In telling the people
how much better they can do for them
than you can,
o
Uniform Treatment.
The publishers ot New York city
dally newspapers recently adopted the
following:
nesolved, That we will make no rate
to any advertiser which we will not
quote to any other advertiser of the
same class on the same terms.
This action was taken to prevent the
practice of discriminating between In
dividual advertisers. There had been
much complaint on this score, and the
publishers decided to nut nn end b.v
adopting the sweeping resolution
quoted.
A Decided' Opinion on the Flat Bate.
General Information, an advertising
journal, has positive views concerning
flat rates for advertising, ns notice the
following expression from Its columns:
"Any publisher that will take less for
his space than his ndvertlsed rates
proves conclusively that he Is a shark
and Is out for what he can get. The
people that get the concession ns a rule
are just foolish enough to brag about
it and In some Instances they use It as
a lever to try to Induce other papers to
lower their rates."
o
Scranton's Representative Paper.
Printer's Ink recently published the
following: "S. S. Vreeland, 150 Nassau
street. New York, is gradually building
up a list of representative papers, the
latest addition being the Lowell (Mass.)
Sunday Telegram. He now represents
in the east the Nashville (Tenn.) Ban
ner, Manchester (N. II.) Union, Albany
Journal.Worcester Tost, Scranton Trib
une, and each paper will be recognized
'by advertisers as being the representa
tive paper of Its community."
o
"Value Heceived."
How much you pay a medium is a
trilling matter. It's what you get for
what you pay that counts.

A Good Test.
