PENSION ROLL DECREASING.
The forthcoming report of the
Commissioner of Pensions will be
a document of unusual interest.
From advance sheets of the report
it has been noted that the total
number of pensioners on the rolls
June 30, 1899, was 991,519, a de-
crease of 2,195 oyer the number
for 1898. The,important feature
of this statement'll that the pen-
sion roll is growing less, notwith
standing the fact that during' the
year 37,077 new pensions were
granted. During the year 34,345
pensioners were dropjped from the
rolls because they had gone to join
the great majority, and 8,84b were
Etricken from the Hit because of
remarriage, minors attaining their
majority, failure to claim pension
sod other causes, making a total of
43,186 dropped from the rolls dur
ing the year.
Under the general lew there
were 1,412 claims filed and 3,624
allowed. There were 6,184 original
widows’ claims filed and 4,246
allowed.
The war with Spain brought a
total of 16,886 claims, of which
number hot 295 have been allowed.

There art as many ambitious

as has neyer before been witnessed
in these parts. Let every pa-
tnin realize the importance of
hsling his child here Monday
morning at the opening; let them
interest themselves in having them
here every day during the session;
let them interest themselves in
the preparation of the work as-
signed to the children each day,
and tbe end will be the most, ac-
ceptable and consoling that they
have ever experienced.
The Bchool is for tbe full educa-
tion and developement ot the
children, not simply a place to
learn, but a place to do those acts
of obedience, attention and dili-
gence which shall tell in all tbe
child’s after life.
At no previous time has the
school been so badly needed, and
at no other time has parental and
friendly co-operation been more
deeirable.
The 850 ohildren of this com-
munity are the most priceless and
most worthy objects that engage
our attention. No other interests
are comparable with tbese. Will
we not show our interest and so-
licitude by giving them our best
efforts to advance them in their
greatest opportunity.
We anticipate the best year yet
experienced in Dublin schools,
larger attendance, greater punc-
tuality, better deportment and in-
tense application. With the pa-
rental assistance which is so justly
due, we shall expect tbe ’Work to
the close to be most satisfactory.
Come up to tbe measure of your
opportunity and aid your success
ors and the promoters of your
greatness and good name in this
their day of opportunity.
