We were in error last week when we
stated that the SCHOOL board could only
levy q three mill tax for incidental
purposes. An examination of the new
school law shows Us that the limit, j
there is any, is one per cent. The law is
little indistinct in this matter. and it
is little doubtful az to whether it pla-
ces any restrictions upon school board
in this matter.

County Commissioners this year is SLIGO
per 81, 900 valuation against $1.85 last
year. This of course does not include
school, township or city taxes. These
last mentioned taxes have not yet been
reported to the County Clerk, but it is
probable that taxes in most localities
in the county will be something less
than last year. ..r...

might speak At length Of the strong and
lasting Friendships almost necessarily
formed between persons OF the same age
and placed under circumstances where
they have 90 many hopes and aspirations
In common, friendships that are al
ways remembered with the heartiest
pleasure of chair breadth 'scapes" in
college pranks; of girls who Airt and
don's study, and girls who study, and
consequently don't Airt; of countless
accidents and incidents Of college life of
Lawrence, the most beautiful city of
the West, and Of the magnificent view
from the dome of the noble edifice that
crowns Mt. Dread. I hope I may have
succeeded in turning the attention Of
some one to this place where thorough
education can be obtained at . compaFa-
lively small outlay. Even an attend
ance Of year or two will never be re.
GREETED. The simple contact with minds
who have delved deep into the book Of
knowledge is wonderfully inspiring and
elevating: and the privilege ofattending
both the University and the city course
of lectures, where the ablest talent of the
country is represented, il one that can
not be easily dispensed with. Long live
the Varsity. 8.
