If the people are satisfied that their
money is properly expended in educating
their children, the Board of Education
need not ha for fear Of hundred or
two hundred dollars to 80 through the
coming year Little or no opposition
was made to the Chairman of the School
Board at our last election, with the euN
derstandlng that Prof Gaylord would be
retained with good corps Of efficient
teachers to carry out the plan OF our
Public Schools. Why halt now? Has
the Superintendent in view an equally
worthy and efieient man, who will per-
form the duties Of Principal for less
than 1lr. Gaylord asks If SO let the
people knew it, that they may be able
to account for his change OF opinion
since the Spring election. If the teachers

cared it may be dilicUlt to get u full
quorum when needed, and the difficulty

are said to be remarkably white and
well proportional. The skeleton was
found twelve feet under ground, aud
directly beneath what appears to have
been mound.
To make sure that there is no mis-
take about it, the whole giaut family is
again trotted out, to show that this
eighteea-iootcr was no way remarkable
for size, after all, Thus We are assured
that there was Il gentleman in Roueu,
in 1880, who measured nearly eighteen
feet in height; that near the same city
a skeleton was found, in 1850, whose
skull held bushel of corn, aud who
was fully nineteen feet high; that Fer.
reguss, slain by Orlando, nephew of
Charlemagnc, stood twenty,eight feet;
and, finally, that skeleton was found
near the castle in Dauphine, in 1923,
twenty five and quarter feet long, ten
feet across the shoulders, AMI five feet
from the breast bone to the back In
