TIE NATI0NAL ROAD.

The people along and convenient to the
line of the National Road are peculiarly
interested in the preservation of that
thorOughfare. They realize its condition,
but they fail to grasp the situation as
they should. What is imperatively de-
manded is that men shall inform them
selves fully, and then see to it that the
revenues of the road suffer no waste. 1t
is reasonably clear proposition, for ex-
ample, that the road must be treated in all
respects as any other road so far as
bridges and culverts are concerned; yet
bridges and culverts on that road have
been maintained out of the National
Road Fund, fund raised solely from
tolls, while on all other roads bridges and
culverts are paid out of the County Bridge
Fund This has been going on ever
since the road was transferred to the
counties. 1t has been talked of in recent
years, and there is little doubt that it is
wrong; yet men do not take enough in
tereSt in the matter to compel the Audi
tor to stop issuing warrants upon the
National Road Fund for such purposes,
much less to attempt to recover moneys
thus unlawfully taken from it, if this
view of the law is correct.
Then there is too much money wasted
in various ways. Men must insist upon
greater economy in its management-less
brass ornament and more limestone. 1t
is time to speak out plainly about this
matter, and so far as we are concerned
we propose to do so.

THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT

THE SCHOOL LSUPERINTENDENTS
Friday evening and Saturday the school
superintendent of Martins Ferry, Cald-
well, Steubenville, Flushing, East Liver
pool, Benwood, st. Clairsville, Mounds
vile, Barnesvilie, BeIlaire, and Cadiz met
at Martins Ferry, for the purpose of
comparing views and debating the best
methods of school work. John Hancock,
State School Commissioner, was present.
The question of correcting the gradu-
ating essays of pupils was considered.
The prevailing sentiment was that they
should be wholly original. The use to be
made of the spelling book formed anoth-
er topic, which was discussed with spirit.
All agreed that it must be used very ju-
diciOusly, and that the development of
the child'S faculties should be the chief
aim of the teachers.
superintendent Jones (of Bellaire),
Mertz (of Steubenville), and Sparks (of
Martins Ferry were appointed to pre-
pare an address to the patrons of the
Ohio Valley.
The meeting adopted vote of thanks
to School Commissioner Hancock for his
presence and cOunsels.
The next meeting will be held at Bell
aire May 8.

THE old crowd was on hand at the school
election ON Monday. The back alleys
were thoroughly secured by the men who
are always SO disinterested, you know;
notwithstanding only One-third Of the DOte
lCaS polled. No candidate was brought
out in opposition to the gang, and two
thirds of the voters staid away from the
polls, and let them have things entirely
their own way. The election was in the
nature of an object lesson.
