cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family

her she YVES a hopeless victim Of con-

A GOOD REPORT.
superintendent Barber Gives Some In.
teresting Points about the
Schools of Allen
County.

al have just finished making up my
annual report,n remarked Superin-
tendent Ed. Barber the other day,
land I think I shall send copy Of 1t
to Mr.. Utley to relieve him of the
grief he must feel in thinking that
the schools of Allen county are nearly
all closed. This report shows that
the value of our school property has
increased from SIS, 900 in 1889 to So, 600
this year. There have been five new
school houses built in the county.
The total running expense of the
schools for the year just ended was
about 5000, slight increase over
the expense of the previous year be-
cause the average length of the school
terms was two weeks greater than
last year. And by the way do you
know what that two weeks additional
in each of So districts means? 1t
means that the children had the adj
vantage in the aggregate of three
years and two months more school
than they had last year. Another
thing the record shows is that the av-
erage attendance this year was 8 per
cent. greater than last. And do you
know what that means? Well, it
means that the people of Allen county
got return of $3.50 more from their
investment in schools this year than
last. I figure it this way: Counting
the value of the school property and
the cost of running them the people
last year invested Sl27 900 in schools.
If for that money they can buy in
struction for So per cent, say, of their
children they are per cent. better off
than if for the same money they had
bought instruction for only 60 per
of their children. And per cent. of
S127, 900 is $50. How do 1 account
for this increase in attendance? 1
think it is very largely due to the
introduction of the Course of Study.
This has given the children them
selves an added incentive, and then
it has awakened the interest of par
ents and teachers"
"How about wages" somebody
asked, "are they going up or DOWN."
Last year." replied Mr.. Barber,
"there were AZ male and SO female
teachers employed at an average sal
airy for males of $40 and for females at
$50. That is a decrease of S1.50 a
month for the male and an increase
of $500 a month for the female teach
ers.n
Everything taken together" con-
cluded Mr.. Barber, "the schools of
Allen county are in first class shape.
The people are taking more pride ev-
cry year in having the school houses
and grounds look neat and attractive,
the teachers are taking more pride in
their profession and so are doing better
work, and the pupils are more anxious
to make good records since they know
that they will be given full credit, by
way of promotion from one grade to
another, for what they do. There will
be more children in the schools this
year than ever before in the history
of the country, and believe the work
will be better than ever.

DEHORN YOUR CATTLE.

1t is an acknowledged fact that de-
horned cattle require but half the shed
room and three-fourths the feed of
horned cattle. This practice is no
longer an experiment and progressive
stockmen should not hesitate to adopt
it. Having had considerable expe-
rience in dehorning, would solicit the
patronage of the public, and guaran-
tee satisfa ction. Terms reasonable.
