To the chronicle:
i There is rather mysterious type o
| itinerate people. who make their ap
pearance in this section during ths
early days VI spring Of each year
Though they are - molly screw" they
represent 4 better class of humanity
! than the real vagabondish. fantastic
fortune-telling gypsy. They are I'm
doubleday OF Irish extract, and have
the usual SWAIN OF women, children
and dogs with them. The apparent
vocation of the men is, trading
horses," that of the women, vending
lace" Although they declare it TO be
@avery third of pure linen and the
finest texture" it is the cottonest of
cotton lace. ~Yis lady, made itmesilf.

dollars gard" But before they will
leave house without trading, they
will compromise on a few eggs, or
little butter, "being as it's the very
last of the expansive" Stranger still,
they occasionally find liberal pur-
chaser. About two weeks ago COM
pany of these people camped at
Guthrie Park and drove quite bust
ness for several days. One afternoon
lot of them were trying to trade off
some OF their stock in that ollie, when
a mellow drummer was attracted by
the crowd; recognizing an acquain-
lance about to 'swap horses" called to
him: aWait till / examine that bag of
bones for you, / can tell his age to a
minute" After he went through the
formula of looking into the mouth
declared, ''he is twenty years DID," His
friend disposed to humor the joke,
answered: Exactly right, why you
are splendid judge, how old is this
one "and so on, till he became so
BATTERED that he exclaimed: Il can tell
the age of anything, just SO / can look
at its teeth, man, woman, child or even
gypsy; hello old gipl open your
mouth and let me see how old you
are" stepping up to the sulky old
rusty coat, who did not relish this
phase of horse trading. Instantly he
opened wide his mouth and the inqnis-
tive young man stuck his finger in, to
feel his grinders, when together they
clapped and held on, until several
fantastic capers were cut, and the poor
crest-fallen drummer was glad to get
his finger out at all No doubt he was
made wiser if not better man,
learning the lesson not to poke his
finger into other folks bushes" 1

Report of Public Schools for March.

4
TIC the Board of Edueattont IiAFT f
Forth month of March there is
nothing of unusual interest to report.
The pupils in your schools have gone
on quietly with their work, and all, it
is believed, moves smoothly. Offences
against good order have been few, and
those Of a mild character, requiring
discipline of only the mildest form.
The attendance has slightly increased
over last month, but the same causes
prevail to effect absence. There are
some children who have been very ir-
regular for long time As a conse-
quence, they can receive little benefit
themselves, and are an INJURY to their
class An effort viii immedlateIy be
made to enlist their parents on the
subject; failing, the rules Of the school
will be enforced.
Tardlness has been reduced to the
gratifying point-if you will pardon
the expression-of three-tenths of one
per cent But that does not give you
very definite idea of the matter. This
will:-It in as il 1920 children were
at school one day, and of the number
only two were tardy.
Three teachers meetings were held
all present and showing fine interest
The following figures for March are
submitted. E@H e
