about him, that he would suffer
such things about his own affairs?
Such experiences as this, and they
are common, have led us to conclude
that the present district system is
next to no system.
Men argue, that we should not
have County Supervision because
the people have not asked for it.
What an argument! The people
want their children educated, and
that is all they seem to know or care
about it. Yes, let the children
freeze, because the people have not
asked for coal let them carry water,
their parents used to do it let them
drink poisonous water, the well don't
need cleaning let the schools go to
ruin generally; the people have not
asked you to take care Of them.
The people, indeed! Of course,
anybody knows how to manage a
school, but we think you Will fnd on
examination, that the extent of their
knowledge is, that somebody else
has not done it right.

is given in our Xenia news), and
which viii not be given for obvious

country. He gave q full account Of
the affair, and from all we can gather
from outside sources, it is substan T.
italy correct. He has satisfied the
girls father that he is entirely inno-
cent Of any indecent act upon the girl.
The responsible business men of
Xenia are perfectly satisfied with his
explanation, and We learn that the
lady herself has confessed that the
story is all an untruth. Donaldson E
only object is now to clear his rep

and to shield the girl from any taint
that may have attached itself to her.

Obituary.

Itis our painful duty, this week,
to record the death of Prof J. NJ.
Zuck, Principal of the Brethren's
Normal College, at Huntingdon, Pa.
He was a young man of promise,
graduated at the National Normal
School in 1874, and has spent the
last three years in building up the
institution of which he was Principal.
It may be said that he gave his
life to the work, for a new building
had just been completed and the
school moved into it, with fattering
prospects, when his overta1ed con-
naturally frail, gave way
and though he built, he was not per-
mitted to ''enter in.
He has done what he could, and
he has done well, and others may now
reap the fruit Of his labors.

ballots only three voted in favor Of
license.
