Mrs. Wesley and Her Children's Edueatio

Mrs. Susanna Wesley was very much in
advance of her age in one particular, and
that was in waiting till her little ones
were five years old before teaching them TO
read Many babies in those days were
taught the alphabet At two, and could read
quite auently at three, while of noted
Scotch divine his biographer tells that at
three be had acquired the Greek as well az
the English alphabet, and at FIVE wsS
wrestling with the Greek Testament. Nor
was this considered precocious or singular.
So. Mrs. Wesley displayed independence as
well as discretion by waiting till the fifth
birthday had come before her tiny men and
women were brought into the schoolroom.

The. road uveTseers are no more for
by a new law approved last week by the
Governor, which had been approved by
the State Board of Agriculture, they
are legislated out of existence and thei,
supervision of roads transferred to the
township committees, all over the state.
Upper Penns Neck and Oldmans town
ships have been acting under such a law
for years. The only objection arising
from it is that, because some commit
teemen supervise the roads, instead OF
appointing overseerS under them, too
many get the idea that that is the only
duty the committeeman have to do and
many aspire to be committeeman in OF
der to be road Overseers, who are not
qualified either financially OF intellect
ually to be custodiaiIs Of the township
affairs, and utterly unqualified to keep
the assessors and collectors accounts
straight, However, this objection is
more than balanced by bad. manage
ment of the townships money by many
road overseers.
The new law allows the township
rmittee to estimate the amount nee
Anal for the next year, which must
Ci,vs more than one-half of per
Tai. OF the assessed valuation of the
Pa,erty in the township, and assess it
without being voted On by the people.
The estimated amount mus, he pub
lished with the annual statement and
the credit of the township Il be pledg-
ed to four.fif lbs oil the amount previous
to the collection.
1t also provides that the road tax
asst ssed must he paid in money and the
Committee or supervisors appointed by
them may hire whom they please and
pay them in cash. This dos away
with working out the tax on the roads.

horror. but he obeyed, and took the leg
off. Gov. Nichols then said, calmly
stretching out an arm, Med, unscIew
that arm" The boy rolled up his eyes
until nothing but the whites could re
seen, but lie obeyed and unscrewed the
arm. The Governor, who low realized
his condition of mind, determined to
have Il little fun with him, so, reaching
out his neck, he said: Med, unScrew
that head" But the boy never waited
to see whether his head would come off
or not, and 10 one ever succeeded in
