Q have certain changes made In the manner u
II teaching In the intermediate and Gramma
schools. The attendance was small onl
N about 20 Of the 10 or more petitioners bein
a present DIR. and Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. E. I
a Carpenter and J. j. Estey favored a chang
q from the present system, but we're not agree
a as TO what or how extensive the chang
q should be. G. A. Hines, L. K Fuller, o.
Willard and Henry Smith favored q contiI
uanoe Of the plan which has been pursue
!. during the past year. Mr.. Bingham gave il
= formation on certain points which came NJ
and MiBs Barnard OF the Grammar sohoC
!, read q statement prepared by the Gran
~ mar school teachers in defence OF II
method under which each teacher has charR
10 of q single branch and thus becomes
8 specialist In teaching. The committee G
Or their part, said they we're anxious to hear a
l. complaints and criticisms that were to
10 made, aud any suggestions that would ten
- to improve school methods. Final decisio
relative to suggested changes was reserved.
~ The Estey organ company have recen
10 ly got an 20. X. Dust Arrester," made
70 Grand Rapids, Mich, into complete and su
le cessful operation in their factories. II
st claimed 10 be the only perfect invention
~ It's kind, and its satisfactory operation he
u seems 10 Justify this claim. An accumulate
10 house about 20 feet square, to receive Il
D. dust, stands 10 the rear OF the boiler hous
IN and from this large metal pipes lead to Il
IN several shops, and smaller pipes run 10 eveI
machine which makes dust or shAviDgs. Pc,
s- erful exhaust fans run at high rate OF spe,
OF suck in the dust, shavings and ami
In fragments Of wood and force them into Il
i'd accumulation house, where the heavier was
r. falls TO the floor and the dust Is deposited
BY the accumulators which consist Of lar
s- fraues covered with gauze or thin linen.
Q, noon and night when the machinery sto
al these frames are shaken, the dust falls to Il
er floor and the contents Of the house are tax
ut to the boilers and consumed a. fuel. On eai
floor In the shops are one or more pipes co
is neoted with the exhaust pipes, through whc
Of on the opening Of q damper, the floor swee
t. ings are Whisked away In an instant. SoI
,r- novel attachments studied out and applied
To- Mr.. Rowe and other workmen are scarce
,r- less ingenious than the main invention itse
De The use Of this arrester stops the accumu
,ly ton Of saw-dust on the bank In front of t
er shops, and is great advantage in the dir'
,r- ton OF cleanliness, economy, and health of {
