In former years school directors assumed
the duties of their Office without taking an
oath. The last legislature, however changed
this and passed an act requiring them to
| do so. The full text of the act is given as
| follows;
SECTION /. BE it enacted by the senate
| and house of representatives of the common
wealth OF Pennsylvania, in general assembly
| met, and it is hereby enacted by the author
| ty of the same, that from and after the
passage of this act all school directors
except such as shall have, on account of re-
| ligious belief, conscientious scruples in
| regard to taking an oath or affirmation
| shall take and subscribe an oath or atfirma-
| ton before some person competent to ad-
| minister such, that they will faithfully
perform such duties under the constitution
| and laws of the commonwealth, and that
they will not knowingly receive directly or
indirectly any money or other things of any
| value whatsoever for the performance or
non-performance of any act or duty per-
tanning to the Office OF school director.
Sec. 2. No person hereafter elected
| SCHOOL ulTcCtoT, cACcpt ouCh Hs shaH slSh
declaration that they have conscientious scru-
pies in regard to taking an oath or ailirma-
ton, shall be competent to sit at the organiza
ton of the board to which he was elected
unless he produce the officers certificate
that he has taken the required oath OF
affirmation.
A bit Of school law, of particular interest
at the present time, when new directors
have Just been chosen, is the following
"That it shall not be lawful for the county
superintcndents, directors, or controllers, ol
the other persons officially connected will
the common school system, to become agent
for the sale Of any school books, maps

OF all Shaksperc's plays, none has so many
ardent admirers as Romeo oai JaIiet The
sorrows and tragic deaths of these unfortu-
nate lovers have never failed to arouse SYM
pathy even in the coolest hearts, and to
draw tears from eyes "albeit unused to
weeping" This, Friday, evening, the
people of Bloomsbury will have an opportu-
nifty to see this masterpiece of dramatic art
at the Opera House. Miss Jane Coombs
will essay the part of the heroine and will be
supported by good troupe. Mr. Arthur b.
Howard will appear as Romeo and the cast
throughout is said to be of an excellent
character. Miss Coombs has won an enva.
bic reputation as a tragic actress and, II is
fair to presume, will this evening merit all
the praise that has been lavished upon her
The New York Herald has the following
good words TO say of Miss Coombs;
Probably never before, at least in our
day, has there appeared upon the dramatic
stage one in whom charms Of person and
brilliancy of talent, combine with loveliness
OF character to win the personal love and in
terest Of all who knew her Ii will only be
difficult for those who have not been priv
ileged to see her to realize this, and yet every
expression of approval, as far as words are
concerned, must be quite unworthy Of her

Editor CoLuMBIAN. Frequently | have
been asked the question of the effects of
Salivary calenlus (or tartar) on the teeth.
propose to answer it through the col
| umns Of your paper. The importance of
proper attention to the cleanliness of the
| teeth can hardly he ovcrstatcd, aud yet few
| even of those who pride themselves upon the
care which they bcstow upon these organs,
| give TO them the time and labor which their
value would justify. IA II preventative of
diseases of the teeth and gums, constant
| attention to their thorough cleanliness is of
unqucstionable Importance, for thus not only
Is the formation of tartar prevented, but the
removal of particles of food and other ex-
| trancous matters (Which lodge about and
| adhere to them, and which If allowed TO re-
main would corrupt the secrctions of the
mouth and irritatc and innamc the gums) is
secured
The deposit called tartar, which collects
more or less about the teeth of everyone,
varies greatly in appearance, quantity and
character. In different individuals it is
black, brown, green, yellow ,or. nearly white
Its presence is more or less hurtful according
to its character and quantity. In some cases
Its influence is exceedingly pcrnicious
causing the gums to become swollen in
famed and spongy, suppuration occurs about
| their margins, followed by their recession
from the nccks of the teeth and by the
absorption or waste of the sockets.
The gums become so sensitive that the
use of a tooth brush is exceedingly painful
and because of this no effort is made to keep
the mouth clean. The tartar accumuates
rapidly and the result is the destruction
more or less speedily of the alvcoar pro.
cesses and the looscning Of the teeth until
they drop out.
These however, are not the only results.
The breath becomes fetid the fluids of the
mouth are vitiatcd; indigestion, loss Of appe-
tite, affections of the eyes, pains in the ears,
headache, neuralgia, and general disturbance
of the health follow.
That arrangements of the digestive funct-
ions and consequent impairmcnts of the
whole economy may result from diseased
condition of the mouth, is too well establish
ed 10 require argument
The presence of dccayed teeth and roots,
liberated or suppurating gums accumula-
ton of tartar &c, must necessarily pollutc
the saliva, and thus cause irritation more or
less severe of the mucous membranes Of the
stomach.
The eXhalations from mouth so diseased
may,also, and no doubt they often do, produce
an injurious effect upon the bronchial tubes
anil lungs.
These being facts ii is much to be lamented
that many parents are so ncglectful as to al
low their children to grow up without
having acquired the habit of keeping the
mouth scrupulously clean, paying no atten-
ton to the condition of the teeth until an ex-
posed nerve speaks with voice that will not
be silenccd, announcing the mischief which
has been allowed to proceed unchecked.
These accumulations with proper treat.
ment. can be prevented, but time at the pres
ent will not permit to dwell upon it.

ON the subject OF Itandr,

AT this season of the year. when the prac-
tical experience of bad roads brings the sub
! ject to the mind of every farmer, II few words
| concerning the topic will not prove amiss
We had intended to give our own views upon
the subject in the San &C Banner this week,
but find, in the subjoining paragraph, so
much expressive of our own views that the
reader will obtain them, as well as additional
| facts and opinions, that must interest and
| instruct. The writer remarks: "The public
| roads of n district show the spirit and enter
prise of the people In the district to u certain
| extent, and all will admit that good public
roads add to the value OF the land AS much,
if not more, than anything of equal cost. A
| bad road means small load with great wear
and tear to wagon and team, and bad roads
are the complaint generally. Why? First,
they are badly drained, and not enough
work done on them second, there is but
little thought given to making roads, and
the work is often done late in the fall third,
men plow and scrape more than there is any
need of, and make narrow, poor road when
they get through. 1t is cheaper to make
good wide road, when the land will permit,
than narrow one, from the fact that in
making wide one you simply bring the dirt
from the bitches upon the road bed, which
should never be plowod up or disturbed A
| public road should be 35 feet from outside
to outside of the bitches. The road bed (that
| is the part between the inside of the ditches)
should be 25 feet wide The bitches should
be feet wide and foot deep on the outside,
and deeper if necessary, with sufficient
grade to draw off the water, otherwise there
will be II bad, muddy road Now with such
road the best is solid and the soil scraped
on top will soon pack and become hard.
There is no danger in being tipped over, and
travel is not obliged to follow in single rut,
| as it must in narrow road. Dry roads mean
good bitches. To fill up mud holes without
draining is simply putting in more dirt to
make more mud - WnspOr. Sua & Banner.
