The commissioner of Internal revenue has
decided that the law places the stamp tax
required for btlis of lading and receipts
upon ( lie companies and corporations. and
not upon tlio shippers. At the same time he
says that if carriers refuse goods offered
for transportation unless the receipts are
stamped by Ilue shipper , the shipper's only
remedy Is an appeal to the courts to decide
whether the law prescribing the obhigationa
of common carriers will afford a remedy.
If amiy corporation forces suclu an appeal
some shipper should make it in ( lie interest
of Justice. What is everybody's business is
apt to be nobody's husimiess , but a fight for
principle is always adnuirable. and in this
case no shipper should allow luiniseif to bo
imposed upon.

Someone has snub that tluo wistiont of the
tablet ! gods and the self-poise of a Milo are
hardly sumelent equipnient ( or training the
children aiuul youth of our land. The old
theory that a knowledge of the thuree it's
was aniply sufficient for the task is being
supplanted and we are beginning to reaiizc
thuat niemi and women of tiuo highest intellectual -
lectual capacity and the broadest synlathies
are mucooleti to guide amid iuiold the nulnobs of
young children as well as those of a larger
growth.
'l'hia truth is vividly impressed en one
while examining time work of the state ro-
forniatory scluool for girls and boys and the
school for feeble minded youth. It is to ho
regretted that these scirnols , with the ex-
ccptlon of the boys' , have not sent data
with their exiulbits , showing something of
their history , of the number and ages of
pupils , courses of study , etc. Aiuyomuo wish-
lag to make a careful comparison of the
schools with others of a hike uiaturo can
do so only Indirectly by inference from ( lie
amount and character of the work displayed.
it is not too late to remedy this omission.
From the Kearney boys' acluooi caine soy-
oral letters and one comupositien of some
length , which give considerabie insight into
the methods of ( be schooi aunt the eharac-
ter of s inmates. Once a month , as a part
of tile regular school work , ( ho luuuiha fortunate -
tunate enough to have pareuuts , guardians
or friends , write theuut letters. The letters
shown are exactly as written , copies being
mailed instead of the originahs. A prefatory
liote by the teacher states that they are
designed not so much as specimens of coal-
lOSitiOul as to show something of the boys
daily life and trend of thouglut. From the
composition the following is gleaned : 'The
school was c'ened in July , 1881. and consisted -
sisted of one building Since that time
various buildings have been added as required -
quired , so that it Is uiow conducted on the
cottage ian. Tue boys are divided into
four grades , or 'famihies-B , C , 1) and E-
according to size and , as far as practicable ,
tile families work toether. In 'E , ' the
largest family , size , not numbers , being
the consideration , there were in Aprii forty-
three toys ; the average age was 14 years
and 5 months , tiuo oldest 17 and the young-
ret 12. Their school hours extend from 7
to 31:15 : a. m. daiiy , with an evening sea-
don of one hour , for nine months in tue
year. Fifteen of these boys lund no mother ,
twelve neither father nor mother , twelve
came from good homes , thirteen from fair
and eighteen from bad. This 'fitunily' is
fairly typical of the others. In grade 13
the ages range from 7 to 14. Sonic of the
grades have school room work in the afternoon -
noon , so for the house , sluop and farm work ,
for there is a farm of 320 acres he-
ionging to the school , there is a force or
'detail' at. all times. "
The shop work includes printing , tailor-
hug , shoemaking , carpentry amid Iron work-
lag. All clothing except 'Suaday shirts"
is made in the tailor shop. A large glass
case contains working suits end best suits ;
there are also several pairs of shoes , anti
the case Itseif was made in the carpenter
shop. From the printing olilce are letter
and bill heads , forms of admission to the
various state institutions , report blanks and
business cards , besIdes a bound volume of
the lncltmstrlul School Journal , hulubllshech by
the school.
The school room work inciudeut instruc-
( ion in tile common branches , typewriting ,
bookkeeping and drawing. A great degree
of proficiency is shown in the crayon and
pen and ink rortroits. On entering tiuo
school a pupil is given from 4.000 to 6,000
demerits , depending on the cause for which
eoniniittcd. Every day , when perfect in do-
portmnelut , studies and manual labor , lie is
credited with a reduction of 10 muuarks , When
a pupil has worked out hula demerits be can
be paroled , providing his piurelits or guard-
lans furnih transportation , but hue renuains
in charge of the school until his majority
and may be recommitted for cause.
One of the letter writers tells lila mother
that ho hatu 175 deuaerits and can get out
in forty-eight days , at the rate of tea
credits a day , with thirty Perfect days.
Another boy says : "Mamma , will you send
some jacks and the game of liabes in the
Woods , because we have so few games to
PlaY here. I miever thought of seeing you
or papa see 1110 behind the bars , " Still another -
