That state Road.

We publish the following communi-
cation, but for lack of information ex.
press no opinion as to the merits of the
controversy
Mr.. BROCKwAY Il noticed some
proceedings in your paper of last week
of a meeting by certain persons, held at
the owen House in Berwick, represent
ing themselves as Commissioners of
State Road, running in Columbia and
Luzerne counties; said meeting setting
forth "that Il. Il. Koons was illegally
acting as Commissioner when there was
no vacancy, de-"
One of the number present at the
meeting was Mr.. B. +. Headley, who
moved to New jersey with his family
in the Spring Of 1871, prior to commence
ing work on the State Road, after which
Il meeting of Road Commissioners was
had per advisement of M. T.. Jackson,
Esq, Attorney, and by virtue of the
powers conferred by the Acts of Assem-.
bly, declared the seat of said Headley
vacant and appointed E. l.. Koons a
commissioner in his place. In Septem-
ber of the same year beginning was
made and the portion of the road in
Columbia county, was completed June
30th, 1872. In October following the
Commissioners began to open the road
on the LuZerne county side and made
the same up to within about fifty rods
of completion November 19th) when
on account of the severity of the
weather further work was suspended.
During q portion of this time from

3. Send the children the first day of
the term and eCery day of the term.
More than half of the money now paid
for schools is lost because the sch GLARS
are tardy or absent from school. 1t is
found by examining the records that
less than one.half of the children of
school age attend school at the same
time.
4. SEQ that the children are punctual
| at school every day, both in the forenoon
and in the afternoon. Every school
suffers from the tardiuess of the pupils.
8. Provide the children with suitable
books, and provide them the FIRST ddY cf
the term.
6. Often ask the children about the
school, and show them that you take an
interest in the school.
7. Visit the school at least once a
month. Who would send colt TO be
trained and never call upon the trainer
| to see how he was succeeding? What
parent thinks so much more of the
breaking of his colts than he does of the
instruction of his children? What parent
would turn any blooded animal into q
| field for six months and not know that
| it bad plenty to eat and drink? How
| many parents know whether theii
children at school have plenty of nour
| ishment for the mind; whether the
teacher is capable of administering
wholesome knowledge to their children.
s.. Always speak well of the teacher
in the presence ofthe scholars. Children
cannot learn, and Will not obey, wher
they daily hear their teacher evil spoken
| Of
0. Give the children time, and see that
they study some at home. If the above
directions are faithfully followed, every
dollar used for school purposes will bC
worth more than two dollars, as usually
paid for schools, and in single State
the amount saved will be over five
millions os dollars.

THE closing exercises of the First
Winter Term Of the Bloomsbury State
Normal School, which took place on
Thursday evening of last week, were,
perhaps, of more than ordinary excel
lence.
|. In mentioning those which seemed
to us the most entertaining we have no
desire to be understood as depreciating
the good quality of the others, which
| together constituted pleasant eve.
ning's exhibition. The reading of Poe's
Bells by number of young ladies and
gentlemen was not only very well done,
| but possessed in itself the merit of being
unique. We never remember to have
heard this most difficult piece Of poetry
essaycd by any but single readers. 1t
is thought to be triumph Of elocuton
TO render it correctly. In view of this
the result Of the reading by the class is
deserving of praise. The Model School
did finely the marching Of the children,
especially, was of character which
would have done credit TO "children of
a larger growth" The exercises of the
very young pupils have always been q
marked feature in these exhibitions
and never fail to call forth the approba-
tion of the audience. The Indian Club
manipulations were well performed,
and the colloquy Of "the Bashful
Lover" and the scene from Henry
With were both excellent.
Taken as whole the exhibition was
a success and reflects credit alike upon
the teachers and the scholars. The
small boy element was largely prOmi-
nent in the audience, but were as quiet
as such an element usually ISIS perhaps
there is no especial cause for grumbling.

GLOW TO SAVE FIVE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS. IA very sensible contributor
to the columns of the Greensburg, West
moreland coudty, Republican and Demo.
crdt throws out the following sugges-
tions, which we commend to the careful
perusal of School Directors and the
parents of school children:
In many families there Is continual
struggle to make the most of every
dollar. Even the rich are not exempt
from the toll and calculation Of how to
get the most for every dollar paid out.
1t is proposed in this article to inform
the people how to double the value of
the money paid for school purposes:
/. Hire none but the best teachers.
The difference between the wages of a
good and common teacher is very
little; only few dollars added to the
wages ofan ordinary teacher will procure
the services of the best teachers. The
instructions of good teacher are worth
more than twice those given by a poor
teacher.
?. Provide comfortable, convenient
and attractive school-houses. Scholars
cannot learn in old rickety houses where
they are crowded and kept in impure
air, or where they are pinched with the
| cold. One day in warm and cOnVcn'
| lent house Is worth more than "A week
in house where the children's feet are
encased in ice. See that the house il
warm early in the morning, that not
even a part of the day may be lost from
cold.
