Under the direction of the Baltimore school aushefitves a rigid investigation of the eyesight of the pupi's was made some tineago. Ii was found that eut ot a total of 53,030 pupils whose eyes were exewined fully 9,000 were dis— qualified trom attend’nz school. In addition to this startling disclosure it was ulso found that several thousand others in such a bad condition that prompt n edical attention was ad— vised. Were The precedent established by the Baltimore schoo] authorities in causing the eyesight cf pupils to be investigated to the good sense of educational boards all over the country. In Atlanta there are nearly 15,000 children enrolled in the public schools, It is fair to presume that every pupil 'g blessed with gocd eyesight and that not a single one of them is in need of med— ical attention? Such an assumption |= would be ridiculous in view of the reé cent disclosures in Baltimore. The subject is one which the board of edca- tion should gravely consider, as it in— volves not only the efficiency of our public school system, but the physicul condition of numberless pupils attending the schools of tnis city. —A lanta Cox- stitution. | appeal Oakley Items, Oakey, N.

When a single young man dies some one who has carried to the grave a matriageable d2ughter in the couse of the year calls upon the bereaved parents and says: “Your son is sure to wanta wife; I’ll give you my daugh- ter and you shall deliver to me the marriage portion in return.” A friend- ly offer of this description is never re- jected and the two parties soon come to terms as to the amountof the dowry, which varies according to the advan- tages possessed by the girl in her life- time.

He has a large fund of anecdote on the sub- ject of stamp collectors, which he gives out in homeopathic doses when not too busy with the routine business of his office. There are several thrifty stamp col- ectors in New York who make hand- some incomes from buying and selling stamps. A few years ago the postmas- ter general ordered a reprint of an obsolete design of a five-cent stamped envelope. It was a mistake on the part of the department and as soon as it was discovered all of these envelopes, about 10,000 in number, were called in. A stamp collector in New York in some way learned that these envelopes were soon to be called in, so he bought 1,500 of them before the postmaster had time to send them back to the ccpartment, After all the others had *~ a % 3 i “ie 9 ng t Y id é Sinn J Sheet i ‘ “ i es : ye ‘i , is ties ‘ ts. oS ‘ sj SRAINE GOIN!
