THE POOR FARM.

lis Essabiishmant q Humane aud PEE
lis condi,ion and prospeeis-A Good
fnsiituiion,
Notwithstanding the fact that good
deal has been written aud said con-
cerning the efficacy Of the poor farm,
there are some who doubt the truth OF
II, and who would have the farm abol'
ished. Necessarily the first year OF
its existence was attended with more
or less expense, yet II Ia u fact, not TO
be denied, that as the farm progresses
the expenditures diminish.
The entire farm consists OF three
hundred and twenty acres Of land, two
hundred aud eighty OF which ID under
fence, with one hundred aud sixty IN
cultivation. There are seyenty'ive
acres OF this IN wheat, seventy In corn
aud ten In large ilourishing garden,
which latter, besides furnishing food
for the occupants OF the farm, viii
more than pay for Itself by the sale OF
the surplus vegetables In this market.
The houses on the farm consist OF
the overseer's house, two for paupera
aud u guard house for the prisoners,
aud n large barn 10 which are attached
n granary and cribs.
There are several horse and COW
lots for tho accommodation OF thu
stock, which consists OF six head Of
mules, two yoke OF oxen, four cow
aud calves, four yearlings and som'
lhy head III hogs.
The farm IL well supplied with agrl
cultural and other implements. TIT
expense OF paying for the farm an,
stocking II, besides other necessary OK
pensea, have, II IL true, cost SOM
money, but such will not be the cast
during the next year OF lts existence.
The land, which cost fifteen dollar
for the whole, IN now estimsted u
thirty dollars per acre. During tn
past year there have been on an aver
age about thirty hands employed OF
the farm.
II cost the county before the poo
farm was started, never less than oil
thousand dollars u year to support II
paupers. The convlots for petty OF
fences, who were thrown into the c0un
| ty jail, cost the county forty cents
dry TO feed them, while no work wa
realized from them. The number thu
fed averaged twenty, which cost tn
county about three thousand dollars
year.
The expenses Of the county Jail, DO
fore the establishment Of the farm
averaged four thousand dollars ever.
quarter, while the expenses OF that In
stitution during the last quarter di,
not exceed sixteen hundred dollars,
The total expenses OF the county
owing to the reduction Of the former
have been reduced at least two thous
aud dollars per annum. The decreas
will be far greater next year when 1t
products will no doubt, besides payinl
all expenses, turn handsome revenue
Into the county treasury.

STARK COUNTY TEACHERS INSTITUTE

The anpual County Teachers Institute convened
in the West School Building Monday morning
and will remain in session until tomorrow eve
nlrg. Two hundred and seventy six answered to
the roll call yesterday, and at least four hundred
are expected this afternoon and tomorrow. 1t
was desired that all be present, but one.fourh
apparently found 1t inConvenient. The Institute
is growing more in favor among teachers and
they undoubtedly do find much to learn and
much to enjoy In this annual reunion. The exer.
cises are opened every morning with prayer and
singing, followed by three lectures on topics ell.
ther instructive or pleasing to teacher, by diff
ferent members Of the noted instructors present
Each evening lecture is delivered in the lecture
room Of the Presbyterian Church, to which every.
body is invited, Tonight the lecture will be de.
livered by the Hon. j. J. Burns, State School Com.
missioner. Among those present are Professor e.
b. Morley, of Western Reserve College; Hon. T.
W. Harvey, ex.State School Commissioner DR.. E.

are young ladies-handsome young ladies-God
bless 'em
On the teaching question we notice that old
Boston leads the revolt against cram in public
schools. We published an article week or two
ago on the subject, In Boston now the teacher is
to teach, not simply hear recitations Oral nsruc-
ton will be the important feature of all the class.
es, and In the lowest will predominate The
spelling book is abandoned, the reading
books taking the place. Language will be taught
by talking lessons, about pictures, plants, ami
mails and every day life and experience. Gram.
mar, as usually taught is abandoned and practi-
cal lessons given in composition, in the use of
capitals in writing letters and the arrange
ment Of sentences Much of the time
heretofore given geography will be given
to natural philosophy and physiology.
In the lower classes for oral instruction natural
history will be the subject, plants from May to
November; animals from November to May trades,
occupations, common phenomena metals and
minerals, stones, anecdotes and mythology In
the upper classes physiology, life in the past bio
graphical and historical sketches, and expert
ments in physics.
If competent teachers can be procured the plan
may succeed.

"OrTo"-A crowded house greeted Mr.. and

fate Of nearly all those around him the old man

he is the unsuspecting unsophisticated young
German, Otto Rutger, laughing with those who
laugh at him, never losing his temper yet half
conscious that he Is being made the butt of many
Jest. But his chief strength is not shown In his
humor; he reverses that for the pathos Of the
play. That element offs composition eliminates
with the third act when he hears the father OF his
beloved confess the crime which weighs him
down and thwarts his desires Interpoiing be
tween the oppressed and the oppressor at a most
critical moment, he was grand IN his simple.
