The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-05-23

The greatest satisfaction was evine-
ed with the ascension.
Agricultural Implement Depot
Messrs. Bloom & Bro. have opened,
in the room next door west of Grof's
harness shop, on Market street, oppo-
site the Court House, a room for the
display and sale of agricultural i'm
plements and machinery. They now
have on hand q fine supply, among
which are the Sulky Reaper and
Mower, the Superior Drill, manufae-
tured at Springfield, 20, the Weir and
Malta twO-horse Corn PlOws, Chica-
go Sullzy steelspring-tooth Hay Rake,
the popular Tiffin and Barnes RevOlv-
ing Hay Rakes, Champion Cider
Mills, Hooking Valley Corn Shelters,
Excelsior and Harpoon Hay Forks,
Double and Single Shovel Plows-a
great variety-and the Bryan, Mo
hawk Valley Clipper and Ft. Wayne
Steel Plows.
These men have recently built up
quite large trade in the above arti-
cles, which increased so rapidly that
it out-grew the capacity of their store
room, so that they have been forced
to double" A warehouse this kind
has long been needed here, and We
are glad that the want has been sup
piled, and hope that it will receive
sufficient patronage to make an
other enlargement necessary.
Improvements in the High School
Having heard of various alterations
and additions recently made in the
High School department, we called
there the other morning and were
kindly received by Mr.. H. B. Furness;
the Superintendent, who gave US an
insight into his method of instructing
the yO ing which caused a feeling Of
regret that it had not been adopted
twenty-Odd years sooner for our bene-
fit. OF this we will try and speak at
some other time, as it is well worthy
Of extended mention. One thing we
would uggest right here more FIRE
quent visits to the schools by the par
ents of pupils. Visitors will be well
come at any time though no extra
display will be made, but all will have
an opportunity to see the every day
work of the various departments.
These visits will be gratifying to the
Superintendent and teachers, and will
naturally stimulate the pupils to
greater exertions, thus it cannot fail
of being of great benefit to all con-
cerned.
The High School room has been re-
modeIed-the rOstrum and teachers
desk being placed near the entrance
with space for black-bOards in the
rear, while the old, unsightly and un-
comfortable double benches and desks
have made way for beautiful, single,
black walnut desks, with adjustable
folding seat. There are eighty of them
in this room and they present a very
fine appearance indeed. The frame.
work is of iron, strong, and graceful
in appearance, with iron braces and
strong hinges for the seats which
make them almost indestructible. Al
the same time the greatest possible
comfort is assured by the curved bach
and seats, fitting the shape OF the per
son and giving ample support to tnC
back in its weakest part. These seat:
were purchased by the Board of Edu
cation-after examining those Of al
the most popular Manufacturers
the Excelsior School Furniture Man
ufacturing Co, No. I24 Walnut street
Cincinnati, o. They manufacture al
sizes necessary for school purposes, a
well as a most comfortable settee 70
, churches. We understand that ther
is some talk OF seating the First Meth
Odist Church with these settees. A
; they cost but little more than the OF
E dinary wooden bench and are vastl,
t more comfortable we hope they vii
. be adopted.
