CHANGES IN THE SCHOOL LAW.

The legislature of 1882 made two
very important changes in the school
law of the State which are summar.
lied in the March number of the Wis
consin Journal of Education as fol
| lows:
1st. The annual school meeting OF
all school districts i'll this state will
hereafter be held on the first Monday
in June in each year. The school of.
ficers whose terms of office would have
otherwise expired at the time of hold
ing the annual meeting in August OF
September next, or within ten days
thereafter. will continue to hold the
offices until the annual meeting in
June. 1888, and so those expiring in
August or September of each of the
two following years, will hold the Of
fees until the annual meeting in June
following the year in which their
terms would otherwise expire. This
applies to all school districts in the
state. and provides for all annual
meetings to be held upon the same
day. There is no longer provision for
districts to elect upon which of two
days they will hold annual meetings.
The law does not effect cities, how
ever, which make reports directly to
the office of the state superintendent.
and whose school affairs are managed
by board of education, according to
provisions of special charters. The
law also provides that school district
boards shall meet annually, on the
Saturday preceding the first Monday
of June, and settle with the district
treasurer, and make up a financial re-
port to be presented to the annual
meeting on the Monday following.
I'd. The census of the school popu-
lation in this state will hereafter be
taken on the last day of May, annual
ly, instead of the last day of August,
as heretofore. The reports of district
clerks to town clerks are hereafter to
be made between the tenth and fif
teenth days of June each year, the re-
ports of the town clerks to the county
superintendent, are to be made be-
tween the tenth and fifteenth days of
July in each year. and the reports of
the county superintendent to the state
superintendent are to be made on or
before the fifteenth day of August
each year.
The changes indicated should re-
ceive the prompt attention of school
officers and the general public, and it
is obviously the duty of the press 10
call attention to them. Under the
amended law it is hoped that the state
superintendent will be enabled to
make his annual report within the
time prescribed by law. The leglsla-
ture also extended for ii term of five
years the law relating to State aid for
free High Schools.

"TEE YEARS IN WASHINGTON"

BY MARY CLEMMER.
ssTen Years in Washington is the title Of
MARY CLEMMER's new book. We know not
when seven hundred pages OF reading have
given us more information and pleasure than
has the perusal of this most interesting book.
1t is decidedly the most entertaining, fresh,
vivacious, and really original work ON Wash
ington lite and scenes we have ever met, and
it will certainly add new laurels to the fame
OF its gifted author. 1t is overlooking with
good things for every man, woman, and
child--full Of amusement and instruction tor
ALA perfect panorama of the countless and
mighty interests of the National Capitol ''as
a woman sees them"
The author shows us the wonders and the
inside workings of the elaborate machinery
of our Government Departments; she leads
us over the National Buildings, and tells us
about the men and women whose words and
deeds are making mp o-day's history of our
country. She tells every incident and fact
which can interest, instruct or amuse. She
shows us the works of art and the architect
ural glories OF the Capital With her we
visit the Treasury and peer into the vaults,
and handle the money, and talk with men
whose names are household words. We pass
into the marble Cash-Room and watch the
busy clerks as they handle huge piles o
| greenbacks. We ascend the higher floors
and see men and women by the hundreds at
their novel and interesting work. We see
how Uncle Sam makes his money; how the
notes and bonds are engraved, printed, and
finished ready tor use; how the fingers OF
busy women count vast piles OF greenbacks
with CELEBRITY truly astonishing; how they
assert the mutiIated and detaced currency
with marvellous expertness and dexterity,
and how counterfeit dollars are detected in
an extraordinary way. She explains what
they do and how they do it; and in charm
ing manner she gives us the TEs YEARS Ex-
pERIEScE OF CLE-ER AND WIDE-AwAKR
WoMAs.
We are shown the wonders OF the Army
Medical Museum with all its strang sights
and instructive details; the curiosities OF the
st-offce; the mysteries and marvels OF the
Dead Letter Office; the Patent Office with its
nearly two hundred thousand models OF every
kiud-wonderful, curious, odd, and COM
ieal; the curious instrument room OF sod

An Indiana bank cashier gets away
with $50, 900 and bursts the bank, and
a Pennsylvania cashier follows him
with $4,000. This tendency to rob
banks while handling their funds is
encouraged not only by a failure to
vigorously prosecute but by pardons
following convictions. The time is APP
preaching when the people will de-
mand restriction of the pardoning
power for their own protection and as

the State Prison for forgery and ar
son, are agitating the question of Sc
curing his pardon. AS there seems to

was tried and sentenced in accordance
with law, taxpayers who paid the
cost of his trial and conviction will
hardly admit the propriety of par
don. Mr.. Frote is an intelligent man
