' The boy was one of those narumearum , uncontrolled youngsters 'that ' U to be found In every neighborhood , relates lie Chicago Peat It la possible that h'.s parents might taw been able to do something with him If thay had tried , but they ssver tried. The man was long-Suffering and patient , but there was a limit to hla patience. The boy ' never went In or oat of the flat building that he did not press the button of the electric bell for the flit In which the man lived , and usually for ell the other" flats In the building except the ono In which hli doting pareuta The man made a complaint , but the boy's father laughed him to scorn. Jamie wouldn t do , such a thing , and even If he would It was a pretty small thing for a grown man. to bo Interfering with hta childish sport and bear ing -talcs about him. Another ofthe neighbors mad * a complaint ! - plaint , and the boy'a mother retorted that the little darling didn't mean any harm and eho ' certainly could not think of punishing him for such a trifling thlig as that. It Is apt to be a pretty serious matter to Inflict ccrporal punishment upon a nslgh- bor's child , and consequently the man under , took to think up tome other scheme. Ho [ w successful , and the next evening , which "happened " to be Saturday , 'he brought home a llttlo cell of Insulated wire. Tlot night he worked late around the en trance to the building. Sunday morning the oweet little darling started dowrstalre two stcpa at a tlrao while his father and mother were still sipping their bnakfast coffee , It made an awful racket , but It was his regular way of going doun stairs , and all the occupants of the building were used to U.

MARKED PROGRESS UNDER DIFFICULTIES SclioolH for the ninck * nnd the Whltm Tenchlnjc theXer nor o Mnnlpnlflte the tfcedlo Kd- i acatlonal An Interesting- feature of the educational exhibit at tha Atlanta exposition , aaya 'tho New York Independent , waa the charts show. Ing the status and progress ot the systems of different countries and of the several states ot our owe country. Of these none attracted more attention than that relating to the progresa of education In the south for the- two decades 1875 to 1895. The mere facb of an Increase In the enrollment of publto schools signifies little , for this kj sure lo take place under ordinary conditions ; but the relative Increase Is Impressive. In 1875 the enrollment was equal to 16.11 per coat of the population , In 1885 It was 19.51 per cent and In 1695 U had risen to 21.09. Tbe aver age attendance varied but little , being for the respective years 62.34 per cent , 61 per cent and C3.77 per cent of the enrollment. It must bo remembered that few of the southern states have a compulsory law , and they suf fer further the usual drawbacks of agricul tural regions. The Kicreaso In expenditure has more tban doubled In the twenty years , rising from $13,021,514 In 1875 to $29,372,990 In 1895 , or an Incrcasa In expenditure per capita of population from 81 cents to $1.21. The two Items of chief moment In the showIng - Ing are tbo increase In tbo number of school houses and the average number of school days In the year. The lack of school houseo was s > no of "tho greatest obstacles to the planting of public school systems In these states after the civil war. The table shows that as against 49,447 such buildings In 1875 , In 1895 there were 91,288. Meanwhile the average school year has Increased from ninety-three to 108 days. This showing was , end Is , a just cause of prldo to the states of tbe group ; but. like all summaries , It conceals Inequalities that cast dark shadows over the picture. In the last official report for Louisiana the state superintendent wrote : "Notwithstanding the numerous educa tional agencies , public and private , there Is yet a largo mass ot untaught children , " GEGROIA SOHOOLHOUSES. The state sur jrlntendent ot Georgia stated not long ago to the state legislature : "I have been going up and down In our state and I have been taking an Inventory of the kind of school houses you arc build ing In the country for the children to go to school In , and I find that all the school- housm In the average counties of Georgia , outside of the cities aud towns , are worth lees than $2,000. The average number of houses Is about sixty , and your commission ers report that all sixty are worth only $2,000 or less , nut let mo tell you , Rcntle- men , you are building another kind of house you have already built another kind of house In eighty out of ninety counties I have visited this year. In eighty out of ninety counties you have been building fine jails. "All the schoolhouecs In your counties are worth less than $2,000 , nnd yet you are building those fine jails all over Georgia In which to put those black boys and those whlto boys when they are grown up In Ig norance and get Into trouble. Then cornea this vision of 200,000 ot pale-faced and sable- faced children that are appealing to the people In Georgia to be lifted over the dark stream of Ignorance which lice between them and the place of safety. Thcso 200,000 chil dren are lifting up their hands to this Georgia legislature and asking. What are you going to do about It ? Are you going on building jails that cost $ G,000 to $10,000 , thcso great , Iron-barred prisons tn which to confine tbe children of Georgia ? Are you going to keep that up ? I appeal to you , gen tlemen , that the time has come In Georgia to change the kind of buildings you are erecting ; . If the Germans are correct , that what you put into the life of the nation you put Into the children at school , then the time in Georgia has come when wo should have better schoolhousea planted ell over the state than wo bave now. And I tell you , If you will put better and more schools and make a longer school term , and par the right salaries to teachers , my friend , the principal keeper of the penitentiary , will have a better report than he now has. " PROGRESS IN MISSISSIPPI. In bis last report as state superintendent , Hon. J. R. Preston of Mississippi made a brief review of progress from 1885 to 1895. It U a history ot efforts to overcome in equalities ; but ho did not fall to dwell oa those that remain. Chief among thcoe la the unequal school Income ot tbe different coun ties. On account of the peculiar distribu tion of the people the showing illustrate ! In a striking manner the special difficulties of the southern school Bjatema. Of the twenty counties In Uie state ten ore clashed aa white and ten as black. From the gen eral summary ot the school revenues It ap pears "that tbe white counties receive $1,652 apiece more than they pay , and that the black counties pay on an average $256 mcce than they receive. " It appears further that "tho black counties have 40 per cent Icager terms and pay 37 % per cent better average aalarlea than tbe whlto counties ; but tbey en rolled sixty-four pupils to each school , while the white counties enrolled fifty-two pupils. " A further sitting of tbo data explains this surprising result : In the black counties one- fl.'th of the population are whites , and It 1 * easily tliown that tbe main advantage gained by the black counties accrues to the white children ; a result chiefly from the fact that the ochools for the blacks are rural schools , consequently cheap and Inferior. Mr. Preston peada ! In the report for a more equable system of raising and distributing school money , the surrender ot the district system and , slnco the weakness of tha rural schools U In the want ot skilled teaching , (10 urgec above all that the state should toke every possible- means of bringing nor mal training "to the doors of the teachers" In order that It may be possible to require some degree of special preparation from every one who attempts to teach and trata a future citizen of the United States. It U candid statements like these that make the most hopeful proralso for the fu ture. They come from earnest men who bave caught something of the earnestness of Horace Mann , and who are repeating la the south Uio kind of effort that Massachusetts required in his day. EDUCATION OP THE NEW UOY. Now that ao much Is going forward , or Imagined. In the production ot new types of humanity , the question naturally arlics If anything can be done with boys. They are such unquestioned specimens ot nature In the original package , says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat , that the mature mind would bo apt to dismiss 'tho ' subject with the venerable remark that boys will be boys. ' liut It the boy , In a general sense , remains the same from age to age , ho undoubtedly shows some variations , according to his training arid surroundings. The American fcoy , for example , was never more ardently devoted to athletics than now and he has made the pace very hot. While the youth of England spen-i two afternoons in a game ot cricket , our young gladiators compress the fun Into two hours of base ball ; and , us for foot ball , It to no longer In order to speak orof the piping times of poice. Its victories , In tca- dcmlo circles , are more renowned than -var and Its casualties , from their alloverlsh d .n- ago , rather more serious than those of a warm brush between two army skirmish lines. But tbere are reformers devoted to tbe Idea that boys can be Improved In other than what are called masculine accompllih- mentr. These sanguine persons are usually connected wltb schools and experiment wltb theories backed up by authority. In Har lem , N. Y , , a tow weeki ago the school l board 'decreed that tbo boy pupils , i well as the girls , should be instructed In needle work. Tbe * ltu tlon was accepted by the boys , who seem to bave been willing to find out what there was ( or them In a sewing circle wltb maidens ot their own age. To be J sure , tbe garmcntf they produced looked : like gr a * ducking suit , which la eut out > with a scythe and lapped together wltb cot ton twine , but they stuck to their lestoni and tome even lnil Ud on itudylug tt night. This made mischief. Their parents lookoJ i them uneasily. M If they were not root ! bom. ] The parents finally rose < ln revolt and needlework la no longer taught the boys of Harlem. In 1 ono of the high schools of Cincinnati ten toys bare been enrolled to study cook lot under * young womam who l a profes sional teacher ot this noble form of cheoUs' tri , utlllied thrco times a day. The ctosa meets recularlr In the basement ot the high rohool , attlrcl In the rogiilatlon cap and _ anron. Their first lesion was poached eggs , showflaR a high degree of confidence- their talent , for the safest start for a boy In cul inary practice li egga hard boiled. Next they were taught to react potatoes , toast bread and provide & jtr of the ever iisefuJ bread < crumbs. At the end ot thr lejion the bo wcro permitted , not compelled , to eat th , articles they had prepare . Perhaps this new branch will succeed If resttlete4 todll a soldier's , hunter's , fisherman's or Ktca- dlko menu. A boy would glory In cooking army flapjacks and In learning how to glvo them < , when brown on one side , that grace ful twirl lu the air which , when fully mas tered , makes a soldier an ornament of hli mesa. In rough times and rough work mcu * re necessarily cooks and therefore * boy In a whlto cap and apron may bo a boy for a' that. Vnlremltr of lirn Un. ttnteft. Miss Mary L.

Producers In Every Community Are to UP OrKUiilsciI , CHICAGO , April 3. B , W. Snow , secre tary , has Issued the following address to the corn growers of America : The corn convention , which met In Chicago cage February 16 to consider the agi ( cul i- tural situation In general and the Interest of corn In particular , organized the American maize propaganda. The central object ot the organization Is an International effort to permanently and legitimately advance the price of America's greatest crop by promo ting a larger use of Indian corn at homo and abroad. Coming changes In dietary habits of the -world make the present an opportune time to advertise abroad the virtues atid relative cheapness of corn as food. The offi cers of the propiganda have already laid be. fore congress the necessity for making e.a e.J. comprehensive showing of corn and Its pro- ucts at the Paris exposition of 1900 In such a shape as to demonstrate practically Its virtues as food. In order to sccuro this recognition for corn we must have the active backing of Individual corn growers. It pro poses to follow up the beginning then made by a continued effort under private auspices. The organization also has a field for ac tivity at home. It proposes to educate our own people to a better appreciation of our great crop. In addition it will bo alert to represent the Interests of agriculture In gen ' eral and corn In particular In matters of legislation and In urging effective efforts on 'tho part of tbe government to combat unjust restrictions upon American trade In any and all foreign countries. In such mat ters the pressure which such an organiza tion can bring la .bear through its local membership will be very great. The organization Is In no sense a secret order , but a plain business proposition. In order to reach the highest possible effl. ctency In the work1 undertaken U Is dcalred to bave local branches established In every > community where "King Corn" rules. No expense will attach to these local branches , but raeh one established will glvo strength to the central organization by enlisting the active sympathy ot the corn producers. It U dealrcd to have local farmers' clubs i ! of all kinds affiliate with us by constitut ing themselves a local branch and where no organization now exists Individual farm , ers are asked to unite In forming such a local branch. I desire to urge upon corn growers the neceMlty of aiding In this bualnera effort for tha general good of all and I will .ue pleased to furnish necessary blanks and Information formation to any who desire to enter actively in too work by organizing local brtocbct.
