There is considerable red tape about
this birth and death registration" remarked
our efficient county clerk, E. B. Bunce,
when the BAZoo correspondent called at his
Office one afternoon recently. "NOw, / am
expected to copy the birth and death Ger

register, then into permanent record and
make two copies of this record at the end
of the year. sending one to the governor
and the other to the state board of health
What is more, there is no allowance for fees
for performing all this work" Quite a
number Of Cooper county physicians have

ingly replied member of the BoOnville
school board, when the BAZOO 6epd accost-
ed him on the street. 1--WE had meeting,
and did some pretty sensible things, for once
in the history of the board. A resolution
was passed authorizing the treasurer to
fund $4,000 Of the outstanding educa-
iiOnal bonds al six per cent, and call in
that amount of eight per cent. bonds. A
resolution prohibiting the teaching of
Greek i'm the public schools and Latin only
in the principals room and by him alone
was adopted, The president and secretary
were instructed 10 notify the principal
that he must take charge of more pupils,
thus relieving the crowded condition of the
other rooms. Heretofore Prof. Norton has
only had charge OF seven pupils"
