HINTS TOJHOOLS Nation May Draw Lessons From Baltimore System. United States Commissioner Kendall Among Those Employed to Conduct Investigation—Needs of the Time Are Shown. Washington. —The board of ..school commissioners of Baltimore last February did what many educators think was a wise thing. It appointed a commission ®f outside educators to investigate and report on the system of education in force in the public schools of that city. The commission was composed of Elmer Ellsworth Brown, at that time United States commissioner of education; Calvin N. Kendall, superintendent of the Indianapolis schools; Ell wood P. Cubberley, professor of the theory and history of education in the Leland Stanford University; Mito B. Hillegas, chief of the editorial division, Federal bureau of education, and Harlan Updegrflff. chief of the division of school administration, Federal bureau of education. This commission has now made its report through the United States bureau of education. It submits some general considerations that are likely to prove of wide interest to educators. These general view's and suggestions were, it is understood, prepared by Mr. Kendall. The commission commends the Baltimore idea of having school systems examined by disinterested experts at stated intervals. It suggests that a general inquiry into the condition of the schools of a city at intervals of not more than ten or twelve years would serve a useful purpose. “More and more society is coming to lean hard upon public education,” sayg the commission. “Every new public interest„whatever it may be, becomes another argument in favor of good schools. We regard the schools as a main reliance of modern society for the promotion of both private righteousness and devotion to the public good, as well an for the diffusion of that intelligence and discipline w’hich will make these high aims and sentiments effective.” Some Suggestions Offered. Among the suggestions offered by this commission are these: “City school boards should not be too large; they should be representative of the city as a whole, and not of districts or wards; they should be composed of citizens who are deeply interested in the public welfare; their members should not represent political parties or factions within the city, should go out of office a few at a. time, and should not be paid for their services. A board of education should be primarily a legislative body. Its chief functions should be to decide questions of policy, both immediate and future; to arbitrate disputed questions of large importance; to oversee the expenditures of the school funds; to decide what enlargements and additions shall be made, and to secure funds to carry out such objects; to adopt rules and regulations for the management of the school system, and to appoint all necessary executive officers, clothe them with proper authority and uphold them in the discharge of their duties.” The commission suggests that a superintendent of schools should be selected w’ith great care, and from the nation as a whole rather than from a single city or state. Once selected, he should be clothed with authority commensurate with his responsibilities, and then expected to get the desired results. The commission believes that no member of a school board should seek to interfere in any w r ay in the exercise of the duties of the superintendent as defined by law’ and regulation The commission believes a superintendent should not attempt to carr' out any policy that has not been prev’ously approved by the board, nor to d’etate policies, for his function in the framing of new policies ends with recommendation. Board members, on the other hand, should not have any direct participation in affairs which are within the field of executive action and discretion. The commission declares that the schools of today render only a portion of tneir possible service, but are, in the more progressive communities, rapidly expanding. Supervision of Schools. Discussing supervision of schools the commission says that other things being equal, those persons will make the best principals and supervisors who have known some gs hool system ir addition to the one they are to supervise. The same principles apply, the commission says, with somewhat toss force to the teaching corps of a city. The commission says that the best results within a school system may be expected under some form of indefinite tenure of position for all teachers, principals, and supervisors. ”8y this is meant neither life tenure nor unstable tenure,” says the commission, “but rather some form of appointment under which a teacher may be dismissed for serious offenses at any time and for general inefficiency at the end of any school year.” The commission expresses the view that It is always wisdom on the part of a city to pay its teachers adequate salaries. It says there is no reason tbat will justify paying a teacher less than a fireman, a policeman, or an employe at the city hall, and many reasons for paying them more. Teachers should be qjile to earn In

terest on the Investment made In years of Study and special training, and have money ,for travel and study besides. One of the interesting suggestions of the commission is that there should be channels through which the opinion of the public, and particularly of that public which is most directly interested in the schools, may regularly reach the superintendent of schools, and the board of education. Associations of the parents of school children and other nonprofessional educational societies, may, the commission says, be made of the greatest usefulness, if they shall keep alive the discussion of educational questions and act as unofficial advisers of the board of educa tion. PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES. In five states next spring there will be held presidential primary elections to to the Republican and Democratic national conventions and to declare the preferences of the voters of both parties for candidates for the presidency. These presidential primaries will be the first ever held iv the United States, and the delegate to the national convention selected un der them will be the first so chosen The presidential primary idea had its origin in Oregon, but has been adopted in North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and New Jersey, all of which hav< presidential primary y laws based on the Oregon law. North Dakota will be the first stat next spring to have a popular vote or candidates for president and’ vice president. Dates for the primary elections in the states that have adopted the so-called presidential preference law are as follows: North Dakota, March 19; Wisconsin, April 2; Ne braska, April 17; Oregon, April 19; New Jersey, May 28. The popular vote in these states for a president and vice-president will be awaited, naturally, with an unusual degree of interest. Senator Bourne has gone so far as to say that the preference exhibited by these states will determine the candidates to be selected by the national conventions. No fear is expressed by those who have made the presidential preference law one of their principles that the forces in control at the national conventions will refuse to seat delegates from these five states, elected and instructed by state conventions. If the expected interest attaches to these presidential primaries next year’s political campaign will begin in March, before the North Dakota primaries, and will continue without cessation through April and May, while Wisconsin, Nebraska, Dragon and New Jersey are framing their choice of candidates. Os course, the campaign w'ill be in full blast in June all over the country. The Republican national convention will be held during that month. SAVING IN CUSTOMS. On one of the upper floors of a large red brick building in lower New York city, overlooking the North river and surrounded by market places, docks, sailors’ haunts and warehouses, the world’s biggest law office has recently been established. This institution has scores of trained employes, but only one client —Uncle Sam. The most conservative estimates are that he will benefit by its work to the extent of nearly $50,600,000 a year, and it costs him just SIOO,OOO a year, or one-five-hundredth part of the increased revenue it will bring. The man who directs this vast legal system is the new assistant attorney general of the United States, D.' Frank Lloyd, appointed by President Taft under a special act of congress about a year and a half ago. Mr. Lloyd and his army of assistants make it their business to know every phase of tariff litigation. They are specialists of customs law. The local United States attorneys who formerly represented the government in customs cases, being inexperienced in customs law’s, almost invariably were at a great disadvantage. That the government was imposed upon by importers whef engaged expert customs attorneyjk/Fo appear for them is clearly shown by the records. Under the old system/the percentage of government victories was only about sixty, while during the first year of the new office there has been noted an improvement of at least fifty I per cent, over the former system. MEN REQUIRED ON A WARSHIP. , It will take a full-sized regiment, just about.l,2oo men, to make up the complement’ of the big battleship Utah, which goes into commission under Admiral Osterhaus. Readers of accounts of Nelson’s brilliant naval battles and even those of the War of 1812 and of the Civil War, where the crew of a ship of the line numbered only a few hundred, may find it hard to realize the great number of men required to man one of the great dreadnoughts of this day. But there is need for every one of them, thought the old Jack Tar plays a small part in the ship’s management. Many trades are now represented in the floating fortresses of the modern navy. There are machinists, electricians, telegraph operators, engineers, boiler tenders and as small army of firemen and ash handlers. Also there is a formidable number of marines who are the police of the ship. The marines also man the batteries of secondary guna and are always told off first for the landing parties. The recruiting officers have an ample crew for the Utah' when the ship hoists her commander’s flag.

FEEL SUMMER’S HEAT PARISIAN SOCIETY HAS DESERTED THE CAPITAL. •Holiday Season” Is On—Color In Soft Shades Given to Costumes—Pretty Effect Achieved Mi White Lawn, With Variations. Every shutter of social importance in Paris is now closed until the coming of autumn, writes a correspondent. The heat has been an important ■'actor in (phasing society from its favorite field of action. Year by year the Paris season grows later. Although rejoicing in the brilliant summer heat, we cannot regret the sudden wave that, in all probability having crossed the Atlantic, has sent Parisians to their summer resorts and haunts a 'ew days earlier than had hitherto been expected. Anyway, we must aot grumble yet awhile, as for several years past we have been somewhat ill treated by the weather man with regard to sunshine, and now that we are fully supplied it would be an til-chosen moment to murmur or complain. The summer season has begun. By these words is meant to be conveyed the idea of the foreign or “holiday season,” when the Gallic capital is crowded with excursionists from all parts of the world. These summer visitors do not perhaps realize the aspect of Paris in its most mundane or ultrasmart character; but they are certainty called upon to view the beauties of the capital in a more secure and quieter spirit than during the evanescent and exciting period of la grande salson. x A short time ago the craze for white over white was referred to, or white

BLACK AND WHITE POPULAR All Materials and All Widths of Stripes Are Included In the General Favor. What a hold upon the public the Diack and white fabrics have taken! They are excessively pretty and have always been liked by a certain set of women, but one did not thinkythey were novel enough to have created so much of a real sensation. It is in Paris and London, as it is here with us in America, an endless amount of these frocks made in all materials and in all widths of stripes. Linens, ginghams, and lawns are used for the inexpensive one-piece frocks which a Woman must have in plenty during the hot weather; then cotton marquisette, voile, chiffon cloth, taffeta, and satin are the chosen fabrics for the other class of gowns which one wears for afternoon teas, garden parties, wedding receptions and card parties. All this kind of social life takes place in the country now, so that one can indulge in more conspicuous frocks than in the winter, when town life was the thing. The combination of black and white has been in the forefront of fashion for a year in Paris. It began when the English court went into mourning for Edward VIL, and it was supposed

FOR THE DAYS OF VACATION Articles That Are Almost a Necessity in Period When Cares Are Forgotten. Our sketch illustrates two articles that will most certainly be required by many of our readers during their summer holidays. The one is a practical "-y ®C\ k, it, cover for a tenni® racquet, in which it may be carried and protected at times from rain; and the other is a simple case for containing baggage labels. The cover for the tennis racquet san be carried out in brown holland or canvas, and is bound at th® edge with braid. The racquet is inserted, handle first, at the broad end, and ther® is a fold-over flap that fastens with ribbon strings to secure the case when closed. A button and buttonhole may take the place of these ribbon strings If desired. For carrying th® case a leather handlers fitted on on® sid®,

over soft, pretty tones of satin, employed as foundations to summer, face, or afternoon costumes. Today variations on the same theme must be added, inasmuch as given the up-to-dat® heat, somber colors are absolutely out of the question. At Maison Laffitte, a few afternoons ago, was seen a very pretty and at the same time novel costume of white lawn, finely plaited and inset around the hem, or rather slightly above, with a broad band of exquisitely fine filet iace. The foundation was of pale pink satin, veiled with white mousseline de sole, and the guimpe sleeves, back and front of the corsage, encircled the waist in empire fashion, while a scarf of similar tulle lightly enwrapped the shoulders. The fringe fashion on taffeta gowns, or rather around the hem of the skirt and collar of the vest, still prevail. PICTURE HAT Os black chantilly lace, with transpartsnt brim and black satin crown.

to cease when colors were worn by the court set, but not so; the public liked the idea and held on to it. In fact, the whole world went into half mourning, or, to be more exact, that part qf it that pays attenttojr to the fashions in clothes. Os course, in the happy lands of the Orient the women folk wear the same kind of gowns for 2,000 years, and thus are immune from the anxiety of chang ing fashions. Eyelet Kimono. Among the new fancies of the lingerie people are kimono blouses made of eyelet embroidery, thin or thick. The design is not very open, and the blouse is cut in the well-known jumper shape. It can be worn over another kimono blouse of china silk, white or colored, or it can be-worn merely over a dainty corset cover run through with pink ribbon. It should have a guimpe of net or lace, as the sleeves are rather wide and somewhat short and expose too much of the arm for any occasion, except house wear. As it is quite the fashion to wear flesh-colored slips under one’s blouses the idea may be carried out with artistic result under these eyelet kimonos. One should finish the elbow sleeves of the under slip with a three-inch hem of net, plain or dotted, or an equally wide band of lace.

and a portion cut from any old strap may be used for this purpose. On the reverse side of the case to that shown in our sketch initials of the owner may be worked. The case for baggage labels may be cut out entirely in one piece, and those portions which form the pockets turned over and sewn down,'and the edges bound with narrow ribbon. The case should be lined, and have an interlining of . thin cardboard, scored down the center, where it folds, and ribbon strings are provided on either side to secure the case when closed. The case is, of course, intended for holding baggage labels of the two kinds—those to tie on and the ad hesive labels. The words “baggage labels” may be worked upon the ex terior, and the sketch so clearly shows the nature of the case that further de scription is unnecessary. Hints of 1860. There have also been hints of the 1860 style in the summer fashions, but these are all a matter of bodice, sleeve, and short jacket effects. Iff varying any one single idea design ers must touch on many periods In or der to get the various interpretations consequently in the little short jack ets and fichu bodices of today we find suggestions of almost every period i> which these styles have been used— Louis XVI., revolutionary, 1830, and second empire.

There would be water-blisters rise up and open, and wherever the water would touch it would burn, and cause another one to rise. After the’blister would open, the place would scab over, and would burn and itch so as to be almost unbearable at times. In this way the sores would spread from one place to another, back and forth over the whale of my upper lip and chin, and at times the whole lower part of my face would be a solid sore. This condition continued for four or five years, without getting any better, and in fact got worse all the time, so much so tbat my wife became alarmed lest it prove fatal. “Daring all this time of boils and eczema, I doctored with the best physicians of this part of the country, but to no avail. Finally I decided to try Cuticura Remedies, which I did, taking the Cuticura Resolvent, applying the Cuticura Ointment to the sores, and using the Cuticura Soap for washing. In a very short time I began to norice improvement, and continued to use the Cuticura Remedies until I was well again, and have not had a re•urrence of the trouble since, which is over twenty years. I have recommended Cuticura Remedies to others ever since, and have great faith in them as remedies for skin diseases.” (Signed) A. C. Brandon, Attorney-at-Law, Greenville, 0., Jan. 17, 1911.

Absurd. Among the recent visitors to a metropolitan museum was a woman from a rural district who was much interested in the ancient pottery exhibits. The attendant pointed out one collection of beautiful old vases, saying: “Those were dug up at Herculaneum.” “What!” exclaimed the woman from the country. “Dug up!” “Yes, madam.” “Out of the grbund?" “Just as they are now. They were cleaned up a bit, but they were found about as you see thepi.” With an expressive toss of the head, the lady from the country turned to her companion and said: “He’s a nice-looking young feller, but I don’t believe what he says. They never dug up no ready-made pots out of the ground.”—Lippincott’® Magazine. In Strict Obedience. Master Gregory Graham, aged three, had been having an ocean bath, and breaking away from his older sister he ran all dripping wet to the door of the liivng room, where Mrs. Graham was entertaining a caller from the fashionable hotel. “Why, Greg,” his mother greeted him, “you mustn’t come in here like that, dear. Go Straight upstairs and take off your bathing suit first.” A few minutes later Mrs. Graham turned toward the door in curiosity as to what sight there had sent her visitor’s eyebrows up so high, and in the same moment her son’s cheerful voice rang out: » “I tooted it off, mother, like you told me to. I’m coming in now for some cake.” The Real Thing. "Say, mister, if you throw thr<ee cents up in the air I kin ketch ’em all before they come down every time.” “Humph!
