Concerning Our School.

The school taught by w. H. Parks in
Hopewell township district No 6, came to
close on Saturday last. Will is good
teacher and deserves the patronage of all
AS early as nine o'clock the people from
all parts of the country were seen coming
with heavy laden baskets, s.all determined
to have good time. The programme in
the morning was, recitations in reading
and spelling. Each class acquitted them
selves in a manner that was credit to
the teacher and scholars. Then followed
recitation in grammar which was very in
teresting. We then had an Intern ission
of few minutes which was devoted to dis
cussions on various topics. The commit
tee repaired to the woods where the most
bountiful repast that ever satisfied the pal
ate of man was spread out before one and
all who were so fortunate as to be present,
which was sufficient evidence that the la
dies of the community have reached de
gree of perfection in the art of baking pies,
cakes &c. While the committee was en-
gagged In this work the teacher called the
house to order and had class in Geogra-
ply: The scholars answered all the ques-
tions most readily which was an evidence
of a superior system of teaching in this
branch We were then favored with mu
sic by the string band. Dinner was an
nounced when all went to the richly spread
table with smiling faces After enjoying
| hearty meal we all went to the play
ground where a game of croquet and ring
was enjoyed by all who INDUCED in them.
After all became tired and weary of play
the sound of that well known school bell
called us to the school room once more
The teacher favor ed us with report OF
both terms. Speeches were called for, and
responded to by. Mr.. d. Parks, Mr.. Crooks
Mr.. Lantz, Mr.. Gray and a number of,
others. We were favored with an essay.
Subject: Blessings of occupation; by Miss
Hattie Daraham, which deserved the
praise of all present. Miss Hattie We
invite you to come again with another.
The best of order prevailed, and our wor-
thy teacher closed the exercises with few
remarks pleased both scholars and parents
and in the language of the last speaker
think all were glad they came. Therefore,
we return our thanks to all for their pres
ence and invite them to call again; also to
our kind teacher for his diligent efforts in
advancing the cause of education in our
community, he carries with him the best
wishes of all, that prosperity may crown
him in all his undertakings.

Good Books For The People.

People who delight in good books are
rejoicing in the good work being done by
the American Book Exchange, 55 Beck
man street, n. Y. By introducing the
plan of publishing and selling books .di-
rect to purchasers, instead of giving the
large discounts usually allowed to dealeas
and agents to sell for them; by working on
the basis of the present cost of making
books, which is about one half what it was
a few years ago, and by printing very large
editions, which also greatly reduces the
cost as compared with small editions, they
are able to furnish books at prices which,
TO most people, seem truly astonishing, but
which they say are only reasonable. They
publish as follows:
Chambers Cyclopedia of English Litera-
ature.
vols, Is mo. Price, complete, pa
per, $500; cloth, $500; half morocco
S4,75; half morocco bound vols, 1915
Rollins Ancient History, 1892 double.
column pages, large type, Svo cloth
1925; library sheep, 1915.
Josephus' Works translated by Winston
1,o42 double column pages, very large
type, Svo cloth, $500; library sheep
$3.50.
Arabian Nights, large type, II mo cloth
30 cents.
Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress, very large
type. IL mo cloth, so cents.
Baron Munchausen, very large type. Il
mo cloth, so cents.
From the above remarkably low prices g
discount OF 10 per cent. is allowed to those
ordering before June l, and an additional
discount of 10 per cent. when ordered in
clubs of five or more copies, of either book
or to the amount of $1,000 OF more selected
