SUPERINTENDENT SrilAEFKER CAI.I.S THE
ATTENTION or DIRECTORS TO TIIK
CUANOES.
Superintendontof Public Instruc
tion SchaeflVi has issued tho follow
ing circular :
Tho act of assembly approved
Jnne 2.", conferred upon the
soveral Boards of School Directors
and Controllers pormisxive authority
to purchase text books out of tho
school fund and to supply these
books free of cost to tho pupils for
use iu the schools of their respective
districts.
This Act was so uiucndod by the
Act of May 1, 1m.i:i, as to make it
mandatory upon School Directors
hereafter to provide at the expense
of the district not only text books
but all other uecossury school bud-
plies.
This amended Act goes into im
mediate operation from tho begin
uing of tho current school year, dat
ing from the first Monday in June.
lua:). The design of tho Act evident-
ly is to relievo purents and pupils
hereafter of the necessity of pur
chasing text books and school sup
plies for use in our public schools.
It is now the imperative duty of tho
several Boards of Directors and
Controllers to make provision for
furnishing and equipping their
schools with school books and with
the bupplies generally needed by
the pupils for daily use in the
Bchools, such as slates, pencils,
paper, pens, ink talJots, etc.
The re may being Nintta in wliinti
lUeir cLlMj-,, i. i vnwak ill
thoir possession so long as these
books are in good conditiou and do
not diffor from thoso adopted by
tho Board. It is well, however, iu
this connection, for school officers,
and all other parties concerned, to
bear iu mind tho fact that parents
and children cannot bo required or
coinpellod to purchase books direct
ly as heretofore ; and whilst it is,
no doubt, wise to urgo the pupils to
uso the books in their possession,
for the purpo.se of lossening tho im
mediate outlay of money, they can
not bo obliged to uso their own
books, because the duty of provid
ing books and supplies for use in
the schools now devolves upon the
directors and controllers having
jurisdiction iu the district and not
upon tho patrons of the schools, ex
cept in so far as they may be law
fully taxed for school purposes,
thereby contributing their equitable
sharo to tho general school fund of
the district.
Books in ull thu required branch
es of study aro to lie provided by
the directors and for all grades of
public schools, including tho High
School.

There is a striking puugoucy in
ex-Speaker Reed's remark before tho
Republican caucus tit Washington
that "in this emergency tho Demo
crats call upou tho Republicans to
lay aside ull partisanship, forget
anything that has been dono in the
past and join with tho Democrats to
get thorn out of their present trou
ble." A year ago tho Chicago con
vention arraigned tho Republican
party as a party of monopolists and
plutocrats who, through conspira
cies of unconstitutional class legisla
tion, socurod by bribery and corrup
tion, remorselessly robbed tho suf
fering millions under tho guise of
taxation. Now tho authors of this
arraignment aro appealing to tho
"patriotism" of this samo party to
save the country from the results of
Democratic rulo. This Macedonian
cry is superfluous. To save tho
country from . Democracy is one
mission of Republicanism.

siders u girl who is so contrary dur

with the haughty maimer and cold

because there is nothing whatever to
love iu her, and as Bridget has it.
"One cannot make nothiu' out of

Imagine a man wooing an ice

admire men at the distance, but the
moment they draw near, she drives
them back with her embarrassment,
They retire simply out of more pity,

bashftillness.
Finally the girl who does not want

fully happy iu following her round of
duties. There are many such per
haps they dream of an ideal lover,
but he is so far away or so out of
reach, that she is content to dream
of him as an unattainable hero.
