Sherwood Day, from Kansas. is here
visiting friends and acquaintances. 1t
is twenty.three years since he was
here LAST, and most of his relatives that
were here then have moved away.

Garrettsviile High school, is to lecture
on Education, next Saturday evening
In the Town Hall. All are invited.
Ii seems that some things connected
with the district schools NJ ght be inn
proved. L allude to the complaint that
is made by some parents, that their
children get to certain place in their
books when school closes, and at the
next term they arrive at about the
same place, and thus the time for at
tending school is passed without their
getting very far advanced in such
text books as they have have
thought it might be an improvement
for scholars to take fewer studies st a
time and become very familiar with
them before they begin on others.
Where they have five or six studies to
memories a lasting impression cannot
be made on the mind The latter ef-
faces the memery of the former ones
committed. When q man goes to
study medicine or law he only takes
| one subject, and thinks of that when
he is at his books, when he is walking
around, when he is lying down and
when he is sitting up. In this way he
becomes familiar with the text books
The time for attending district school
extends over a period of l3 years. II

to make good scholars. Suppose they
spend the time until IL years of age
with reading, spelling, writing and
arithmetic, and geography. The Lexl

branches. The next two years might
be a review OF arithmetic, and geogra

mar and algebra for three years. The
balance of tbe school days might be
spent in going over branches that had
been studiei. This plan would relieve
the te: cher af hearing so many classes
and he might give more time to each
class. The scholars would have more
time to get their lessons. When amy

A regular open meeting of Ravenna
Grange was held at Citizens Hall, Sat-
urdsy, the 18th. Owing to the inciem
ency of the weather the assemb!age
was small however, there were some
that brayed the storm. aud came some
distance. No session was had in the
forenoon. At l p M. Worthy Master
Sapp called TO order and announced
the purpose of the meeting to be the
discussion of the Tryon road bill. g.
l. Bartlett read a resolution regarding
the law, and said he would ask its
adoption. Also, read the bill in full,
and spoke upon the different provis-
ions therein. He was followed by c.
r. Doolittle, Sapp, Jennings, Hustled,
Willard, Colt, and others, all seeming
in opposition to the bill. F. D. Snow,
of Windham. said IL he had to combat
with all present, he would commend,
and produced quite an argument in its
favor, stating tnat at the Farmers In
stitute at Windham the subject was
brought up and voted on; the result
was 40 yeas and l8 nays. He also
said it was practice in his town to
elect any one, mex perienced or not,
competent or not, to attend to the du
ties of Supervisor. For example. he
related how man had taken away
his front fence, graded his yard, and a
young incom oetent Supervisor came
along and plowed ditch in front when
entirely unnecessary. and spoiled the
looks of the yard. j. II. Ford spoke
in favor of the bill. F. R. Colt deci-
dedly against, also X 8. Wing. Trus.
tee David Lindsay was present, and
being called on, gave his view, al
though saying he had not given the
bill much thought. G.. L. Bartlett
again read the following resolution,
and moved its adoption
WHEREAS, A bill known as House
bill No 423, also known as the Tryon
road bill, is now before the legislature
of Ohio; and whereas, we believe the
provisions of the bill to be unjust and
oppressive. and in no respect any i'm
provement over our present system of
road laws, while it will greatly Increase
our taxes and the cost of supervision
therefore,
ResoLed, That we protest against the
passage of said bill, and that we ask
our Senator and Representative to vote
against its passage,
AS its provisions will only apply to
twenty nine counties, Portage county
included, x. 8. Wing moved to amend
by asking them to leave out Portage
county. Remarked upon by several,
but motion lost, and the original car
ried. Mr.. Snow moved that in con-
nection with the report of this meet
ing for the press, the Township Clerks
OF the county be requested to call
meeting of their citizens Immediately,
to discuss and vote on the bill. That
our Representative may be thoroughly
posted on the feeling of the citiz ans of
The county, motion carried.
Other subjects were to be discussed,
but there was not time, and Master
Sapp dismissed the meeting at p. m.
after u profitable and lively session.
