SPECIAL NOTICES.
LUCY HOLDERS OF THS MUTUAL FIRB 31%
SURANCE 00MPAINY.
In view of the recent litigation affecting the
rights of policy hod-ers of the Mutual Fire mur
ance (bempane of this District, I deem It my duty.
as Presid.nt of the Company. to advIse those in
terseted as to the exact situation.
At the recent meeting In January it was deemed
necessary. by a large number of those uinured, to
pac ome check upon tre evIl of allowing num
r of .Id proxies. many of which were alleged to
I-e worthless. to be voted fir the election of
Managers. by which practice a board might be
enabled to perpetuate itself in ofice. It was also
thought proper that mnageers and employes should
not he permitted to accumulate and vote proiles
for manaueses. In accordance with these views.
two resolntlions were prepased and presented. to
the Annual Meeting. one Invalidating proxies ante
dating the present year, and the other restricting
managers and employee fom voting same. Botn
itsolutleos were passed by over two-thirds vote
f the members present, but upon the question of
adopting the resolutions, the Chairman. In accord
ane with unvarying custum, refused to alzow
piriles to he voted, 1hold ng that it bad never been
permissible to allow pir.iles to be used except for
the election of managers.
Believing that there rreolutions cutting dut old
proxies and limiting the rights of managers had re
suited In the election of the ticket composed of
Me 1rs M. G. Emery, Josse B. Wilson. samuel
R Walker. Andrew Archer. Peter Latterner. I.
M. 5taunders and Frank Hump, a majority of the
managers holding over filed suit. at the com
pny's expense. to enjoin the comnting of votes.
Fom the deelison of the lewer court granting this
Injunction an appeal has been taken and a spe-fly
hearing Is expected.
Belering that the Interests of the risk holders
and safety of the Company peremptorlally de
Itands the aboliahucnt of the long existing evil
of pmxy voting and the substitution therefor sf
persoa o representation at the voting booths to
select the med who are to represent and manage
their flnmncial interests, and thus avoid the ex
pediture of large mms of the Oompany's money
litigation, I would suggest that the members
consider the advisability of holding a ma meet
ing at an early date, to take appropriate action.
I will be glad to recetve communications from
policy holds u the subject. Respectfully.

THE APOLLINARIS CO., Ld.,
A BETTER SCHOOL SYSTEM
View of the United tates Oommiminner
of Education.
Existing, Methods He Does Not Criti
eise, but He Describes Those
Which He Prefers.
Dr. Wm. A. Harris, commissioner of edu
cation, had a conference with Senator
Stewart yesterday afternoon upon the re
quest of the latter in relation to systems bf
education, 'with special relation to that
question as it bears upon the public school
system of this city. Dr. Harris did not
criticise or comment on the public schools
of this city, except to say, judging from an
examination he made of them several years
ago, they ranked among the five or six beat
systems of schools of the country. In the
last few years he had not investigated
them.
Favors the Old Curriculum.
In reply to questions by Senator Stewart.
Dr. Harris talked on methods of education.
He was a believer in the old curriculum
which involved. the use of text books, and
said that he conside-ed it necessary for
students to be accustomed to gaining
knowledge from the printed page in order
that they might the more readily continue
their education after leaving school. Ac
cording to some people the old methods are
merely methods of memorizing a text book,
but the old method which he approved in
volved the learning of a lesson from a text
book by J.he child, who should be required
to expladn in his own language what had
been learned.
Amount of Home Study.
The child, he believed, should be re
quired to prepare himself at home for reci
tations, but there should be no home study
by a child under twelve years of age. After
that age his home study should not be ex
tended over two hours. He said the par
ents of children should not assist them in
the preparation of their lessons, and for
that reason the home studies should be of
a kind that no assistance would be needed.
Arithmetic should never be given for home
study.
Dr. Harris will prepare data for the use of
the subcommittee in charge of the school
investigation, which he will submit to it
in the near future.
