TO VOTE o\ COMMISSION
(JOY EUNMENT.
Oil duly 10. Brownsville will once
more be called upon to vole for or
against the adoption of a commission
form of government. That the ma jority
of our people are distinctly in favor of
the commission form cannot he doubted.
Yet for some iindcfinablc reason tin
previous effort to adopt the commission
has proven a failure. Those who were1
chosen to draft a charter did not per-
form the task that was submitted to
their charge and the time within which
the work could done |egall\ under
that election expired without any tiling
being accomplished. Now however we
have another opportunity. The Herald
believes that the majority of tin* city
voters will east an affirmative vote on
duly next. If tills lie so. then It is to
be hoped that the city fathers may se-
lect as a commission to draft the char-
ter only such nu n as will lie willing to
Undertake the work. They must be
not only public spirited men. men of in-
telligence and ability but also men win.

rial at the time it is Denied is success
fully usnl by the St. Louis. Mo. schools
according to a bulletin issued by the'
l‘. S. Hureau of Kdueation.
It was 1 li«* imposition of l!UH that .ii*t
gave SI. Louis tin* opportuni'y to extend
to it* sc In h >| s tin* editeat iotial advatitages
of a great museum.' Aft* r the fair had
closed a number of the exhibitor* donat-
ed parts of their displays to the public
sclusds. and in this way llu* nucleus of
an cducatoiinl museum was obtained.
\fter the material for the museum
had been grouped the question of using
it most profitably had to In* *ctth*d. As
it was found impracticable to supply
every one of the hundred public school*
of the (ity with a separate museum it
was decided that there should 1m* one
museum for all tin* sclusds and that by
means of an autoinhilc truck the muse
ii in material should )*• sent to the vari
Olls school*.
The museiiiii is arranged in close con
licet ion with the course of study follow
ed in the schools. Among the groups of
exhibits are: •*I'<mm| produel* material
for clothing mounted animals the life
and occupations "• different people* of
the world charts and colored pictures
iliistratiug history minerals and ore*
and chart* illustrating geograph'. a*
troiiomy. and physiology.** The museum
reports show that in point of poularity
the pictorial chart* and the display of
mounted bird* mine first. Material for
elothiug and the exhibit of food come
next in order of demand.

T.ihni individual and duplicate collec-
tion*. l.o<iu lantern slides; *.oon stercop
tic views; and 2tM0 colored charts and
photographs The school authorities
make a point of the fact that there is
nothing in the traveling museum which
can not lie used in direct conned ion
with the work of the schools. It con-
tains no curiosities nor abnormalities
freak* of nautre.
The main purpose of the museum i*
to bring facts home to the pupil* a* re
practically as po»ih|e. Thu* by means
of the cotton exhibit the children are
taken to the cotton fields where they
study the plant the method of preparing
tile soil the harvesting: to the cotton
gin. where the seed i* separated from the
lint: to the market to see tile baling and
shipping: to tin* colon factoires. where
the lint i* spun and woven into fabrics:
and to the refineries to learn how cotton

are made. The supply of the demands
for cotton g«snU is shown by a compari
