Oddest School in. the World MOTHERS THE PUPILS. finns Iie Enterprise of Detroit Teaghers Perhaps the oddest school in the world is the one for mothers, aunts and grandmothers in Detroit. © The pupils, 125 in number, are of all ages, the oldest, Mrs. Mary Heelig, being within three months of 100, and of all social classes. The school was founded by Miss Harriet Marsh, principal of the Hancock School, for the purpose of solving some of the problems that confront parents and teachers, and it happens that the Hancock School is so situated as to have in its vicinity some of the most aristocratic as well as some of the poorest sections of the city. So, when the mothers, aunts and grand- mothers begin to arrive at 3 o'clock one day each week, it is not uncom mon to see a smart woman drive up in her carriage just after a colored woman has come on foot, while a white-haired dowager who acts as chaperon at fashionable {functions may be followed by a woman who takes in washing. Tlie school for mothers, aunts and grandmothers does not pursue the same course study as does the school for boys and girls which meets in the building earlier, but it is ex- pected to, and does, take things quite as seriously. The pupils are marked tardy if are late and reprimand- ced if they are absent ioo often. Each class isin teacher or principal from public school of the city. At a recent cussion ° Ol they charge of a the topic for caring; ‘and each red to elucidate gession Mars sh, and sup- opinion, bear in ile discussion mother advo- bad habit the Every promptly ith soap, and 3 al efiect— Another mother i ree with was no vir- eo, she had tried ear-old “son, with d developed an : soap, eating it, After two almost return some- ame d as a cura vhonerad rem joy. ession it is situdeats to ‘ing learned i them in curing aring. subject was “The Pants.” It proved to be but idi for iit sugges- impo home thing their boys Cne dav Schoolboy 's anvthing brought out many. valuable tions as to the kind of material that should be used and how knees and seat should be reinforced. Crusading against dirt is. a large part of the work; six weeks were de- voted to it.. Prominent physicians were called in to tell how and why dirt breeds dis and four promi- nent women personally carried the ;ampaign into certain homes in which the children never seemed to he clean. As a result, every pupil in the Hancock School says he brushes his teethr each morning and bathes from once to twice a week. The need for this work was well illustrated by the principal's experience with one of her dirtiest pupils. After school one day she corralled him and took him home with her. There she gave him a bath and fitted him out with clean undei- wear. A short time afterward the joy carae again and asked for another suit of unde: which was cheer- fully given to him. He returned a week later and received a third suit. Miss Marsh invesdgated and found that he had neve: told his mother of his visits to her, and that he had on the three suits of underwear. Mrs. Ma Pattersor, the secre- tary of the school, is at the head of what is known as ithe ‘slums depart- ment.”” Half a dozen women, led by Mrs. Patterson, hh week into the lowest and most miserable hovels, and this year they have succeeded in bringing more than one hundred chil- dren into the schools of the cily who had never before known what school was. Of this ‘‘rescue squad.” as some of the members call it, Mrs. Bertha Town, a well known young Detroit matron, stands first in the number of “rescues” made. Mrs. Town goes fearl into the roughest and most poverty stricken districts, and this vear she has brought thirty-one chii- dren into the nublie schools. Nine of these were taken from work, that they might receive ar least the begin- nings of an dications Incidentally, Mrs. Town hasadded many new mem- bers to the school for .mothers, aunts and grandmothers, among tbem be- ing two: ¢ Mrs. Caristine Bower and ttie Johnson. Mrs. Bower is cighty-five vears of age and Mis. Johnson is eighty-two, and since they joined the school, six months age, neither has missed a ses- sion. Both have done good work among the negro pepulation of the city.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s '* Weekly of Trade,” says: : Although the averlge of the 60 most active railway seeurities fell this week to the lowest point since 1904, there was no corresponding re- action in commercial activity, which continued beyond precedent. Reports from leading manufacturing centers indicate ‘that scarcely any idle ma- chinery can be found, preparations for future trade evidencing a confi dence in well-maintained consump- tion. Forward business is most exten- sive in the iron and steel manufac- ture and the cotton industry, but oth- er prominent producers have liberal contracts on hand also, and the mer- cantile outlook is bright. Wholesale houses receive large contracts {for spring delivery, especially in dry goods lines, and the unsettled winter weather has produced a wholesome reduction in retail stocks of heavy eight wearing apparel and other seasonable merchandise. The situation as to steel shown by offers of premiums cure delivery during the first 1907, while total contracts on books of producers render a new record output almost certain. Prices of minor metals are sus- tained by a steady demand, the elec- trification of steam railways supply- ing a demand for copper that is nct facilitated by the delay in moving fuel and machinery. Notable strength is still the feature in primary markets for cotton goods, and predictions of further advances are being realized constantly, despite apparent precedents {o the contrary. As to woolen goods, the next de- velopment of interest will De the opening of higher grades, notably fancy worsteds, about which nothing definite is known. : New England footwear manufac- turers report liberal supplementary spring orders from Eastern wholesal- crs, and are operating all machinery in filling these contracts, while ship- ping departments are busy forward- ing the shocs when compared, MARKETS : PITTSBURG.

Loy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema in Rough Scales, Itching and In- flamed—~Cured by Cuticura. #1 wish to inform you that your won- derful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my sen. As an infant T noticed on his bo y a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it became. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work. to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's cczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial.
