Directors Of Wagner Township, publish
Forty Flee rules for the government Of
Teachers and pupils in that Township. II
will take sharp teachers and scholars to
avoid trespassing on some Of the articles Of
the Wagner code. We used to find the
intermeddling Of parents with the studies
of their children and their attempt to teach
the teacher, to be about as great a bother

any movement toward organizing debat-
