cause of his death originating during his

vide for his family may be regarded as
then having actually taken place, and his
children be admitted as Soldiers Or
phans.
QUESTION: Asoldier died, having been
married to widow who had children by
her first husband, who was no soldier
Are these children admissible as assoldiers
orphans? F?
ANSWER: They are not. Theywould
have no claim on the estate of their step
father, had he left any, and are not there
fore admissible to the benefits of the
schools as his orphans.
QUESTION: | am soldiers widow and
desire to be employed as Matron in one
Of the schools to be selected for soldiers
orphans.
ANSWER: According to the plans
adopted for managing these schools, the
employment and control Of all the Teach
ers, Matrons, Assistants, &c, are left
with the Principal of each The State
Superintendent cou d not undertake to
make these appointments, or supervise
the persons selected for the discharge OF
these various duties. Nor would it be
proper for him to do so. The entire care
and control of the schools. in every de-.
partment, must be left with the Principal
or Head Of each. Otherwise there would
be a conflict Of jurisdiction and want Of
due subordination which would interfere
with if not entirely destroyalI order, dis
ciplne and authority.-Iena. ,Schooi

il in his hand to look at it, a curious
lrtIe boy Of twelve standing at his
elbow asked him what it was. ''Oh"
said he, nothing but potato, my
boy take amt plant 1t, and You shall
have all you can raise from till YOU
are free Tie Led took it, a..d the
f~rmtr thought no more about it at
the time. The boy, however, not
