Clever Theme Cleverly Handled Rota tion of School Children to tha Civic Improvements About Them Share in the Work. The following clever paper, upon the "relation of the school to rivic improve ment, was read by it- author, Mr. Mary K. Lemon, of this city, at the meeting of the Astoria Woman' Club, on Saturday last, ami i worth the earned perusal of every citizen here: "In considering the connection of the school with civic improvement, before viewing the subject in any broad sense, it will be well to Ptvall the homely ad vice, 'Sweep your own door-teps first.' While we read, that, in many of the larger cities children with their gar- dens contribute much to civic beauty, we had better concern ourselves with beginnings. "The first undertaking for the school is to see that the grounds surrounding the building are kept clear of litter chiefly waste paper. Then, as no child likes to- be looked down upon as a resident of a dirty neighborhood, a sufficient amount of public sentiment can be easily aroused in the children for them to keep the nearby streets free from papers, at least Anyone liv ing vicinity of a schoolhouse knows whether or not this makes a difference. It would be well to offer some special privilege to the "pupils or room most helpful in the matter of general neat ness and outside order. Enough account is not taken of the fact that the un spoiled young of the human race will Jo more in the hope of reward than through fear of punishment. "The school should begin by rousing in the child the greatest possible meas ure of local patriotism not difficult, as roost young people are instinctive cham pions of their native town. This may be regarded as mi-taken policy, as leading logically to Sectionalism.' How ever, few hearts are wide enough to hold a nation. It is natural to the immature to love what is near and comprehensible. "Show the child that the faults of liis town are subjects of scornful amusement to stranger5, and, while lie may feel that he cannot do iiiikIi for lis native city, merely not adding to its unattractivene-s is a distinct gain. "Public property has always been looked urwm as fair (Mine by children. It is the duty of the schools to make pupils clearly understand that their parent', the taxpayers, are the owners of all such property, and obliged to pay for injury to it. The school can in this way become a powerful factor on the side of law and order. "Coming back to the school yard it self, we know that in many cities, par ticularly in New England, the grounds oooooooooocoxxxx ASTORIA'S GREATEST STORE GOODS MUST BE SOLD to make room for our spring and We will have on display, bargains Fancy Silk Girdles regular price.

Even the tiny beginners will not tear the flowers. As much cannot In- said for the wandering bovine that evident ly walk invisible as far as the pound master is concerned, by whose repre hensible appetite for clumps of wall flowers the horticultural efforts of one janitor were brought to nothing. "There is one other point entirely outside this subject, but of such insist ence that it will get it-elf mentioned. No city, however, well kept its lawns, handsome its residence, and line its natural environment, can charm strangers if its streets are always in a state of upheaval. Would it not be well to carefully determine where a stre-t 'ought to go and then leave it there! To arrange for drainage at the same time would obviate tho necessity of ripping the street all up again before it had become cool enough to '-et.' "It would seem, too, that city grades should have a sort of permanency about them.
