THE VALUATION OF KNOX COUNTY
1t will be seen that the valuation of Knox county
stands S37 1914 higher in 1880 than in 1870 The
changes in the various towns have capricious ap
pearance, which might readily create the impres
sion that the valuation has been careessly made
and incorrectly represents the property of the
several localities. But such conclusion is doubt
less unwarranted. 1t is more probable that the
valuation Of 1870 was less carefully made, and that
the property Of Knox county, which then we be
leve, had no member of the valuation commission
was less carefully equalized than it should have
been BY the new valuation Appleton increases

where the cat was and he concluded to wait for

UNCERTAIN ABOUT IT'S OWN REPORT.

At meeting OF the Board of Education yesterday
afternoon report was read from Superintendent
Jasper in which il stated that 92 cases % trl-
ancy were Investigated in October and that 242
pupils reported truants and 3S as nonattendants
were placed in the schools. A report of the Com
mittee ON Bylaws was made in favor of amending
the bylaws by an addition of which the following
is part:
No pupil shall be requested allowed perform dur
Ing school hours around the school premises
of any kind on behalf OF principal teacher school
ofncer or other person. ordinary class duties
such are prescribed in the of study by this
Board. Any violation OF this section will subject the
person offending to fine OF not less five than
thirty days pay forfeiture OF position If wilfuly
sisted IN.
Henry p. West the chairman of the committee
was opposed to the resolution. He thought that
the teachers did not often abuse their power i'm en-
ploying children for duties not pertaining to the
schools. The committee had made no investigation
OF the charge of Inspector Thompson. who accused
the teachers of sending. children errands Mr.
Thompson said he had a girl washing two
plates for teacher, and that was all he said to
substantiate his charges. James Flynn, another
member OF The committee was shocked and sur
prised at Mr. Vests statement that there had
been no investigation by the committee after
Mr. West himself had signed and submitted to the
Board report which said that there had been a
careful investigation" Mr.. West, for his part
was surprised that a lawyer like Mr. FLYNN shonld
call meeting at which one more men appeared
and made statements, without substantiating Them
an investigation. Mr. Crawford another member
oil the committee, was opposed to some parts of the
resolution aud the report was laid the table.
