The above tabulated report of the respec-
tive ages of the pupils enrolled in the several
grades, is not designed as mere curiosity,
bnt is intended to show some interesting
facts relative to our public schools. From
such table there may be learned the whole
number of pupils of each specified age, the
average of each pupils in each grade, and of
the pupils as whole. 1t appears from the
table that the whole number of pupils en-
rolled, and having regular recitations In text
books, is Isl; TO this must be added a chart
class of 80 pupils, Of which the youngest is 6
and the oldest s years Of age, making in all
1S1 pupils. 1t is also learned from the report
that, excluding the chart class, pupils from
from six to nine years inclusive, constitute
S5.3 per cent Of the whole enrolment; those
from ten to thirteen inclusive, 434 per cent;
and those from fourteen to eighteen inelu-
sive, 2i.3 per cent. This is one of the most
delicate tests of the workings of graded
school, and the above showing is a very sat
isfactory one, inasmuch as it shows the fact

The Gallipolis, Ohio, Journal has
been gathering the opinious of its read
ers on the tobacco question, and the
following is what an honest plowman
has to say about it:
"My hand fits the plow-handle much
better than a pen, and my intellect has
been trained to raise fat pigs and big
pumpkins; consequently my patch Of
literature has been sadly neglected; but
will try.
notice that your Board of Trade il
to be solicited to issue a pamphlet ON
tobacco. Now should like to make q
few suggestions as to what 1t should
contain.
1 should like for it to contain the
name of the man who can stand up and
truthfully say that the first tobacco
that he placed between his fnolars
tasted good.
Also the mother that advises her sons
to chew tobacco, and the father who is
proud of his daughter because she can
smoke pipe and dip STUFF.
want to hear of the physician i'm
good standing that recommends his
children to use tobacco.
should like it to contain, also, the
name of the young man that would
prefer bride with pipe in her mouth.
Also, the name of the man that has
good, sound sense. and has used tobac-
co ten years, that has not wished him.
sci clear of the habit scores of times.
I should like to have the addl ess of
the man who can live on tobacco alone
and nothing else.
Please have the name of the man in
serted whose breath is improved by the
use of tobacco.
/ should like to have the name of the
young man that offers his best girl his
plug of natural leaf and stoga
Young man she has Just as good
right to use it you have.
| want ii to inform me where can
procure a suit OF clothes that could be
improved by blotches of filth from
tObacco-chewer's mouth.
Also have 1t contain Tin large type)
the advantages the tobaecO-consumer
has over one who does not indulge.
IF tobacco is good to chew, why is it
not good to swallow? Please publish
the reason.
It ia my opinion, Mr.. Editor, that TO-
bacco is a curse to the American people,
socially, physically, and financially ];
and that the rising, manufacturing.
selling and consuming should be ever
lastingly set down upon by all citizens:
and il your Board of Trade has nothing
better to do than to enhance the popu-
iarity of tobacco, they had better trade
themselves off for yaller dog, and
then get some friend to shoot the dog;
for the man that raises QUE good potato
does mankind more good than he who
raises tons of tobacco
