Superintendent Tarbell Makes sugges.

A meeting of the evening school teach
ers was held in the High School building
last evening the teachers having been
called together for the purpose OF listen
ing to some remarks from Superintend-
ent Tarbell on improvements in the
schools Mr.. Tarbell said;
"It is fancy of mine that the evening
schools should be like the day schools.

in good discipline. OF course L do not
expect the same order that exists in the

to examine their list. aud " hen you eed

There are two matters of instruction
to which l would refer especially. Que
is that of oral spelling You waste IA
great deal of valuable time on spelling.
1t is we'll l know to be able TO spell well,
but / hope that in the future there will
be no more oral spelling. Let the spell

"Tuen believe you should as far as
possible have the scholars graded. Not
according as they come in, but according
to their advancement. / do not expect
that you can grade your night schools

the use of the large Biographies, United

these should be taught by dictation and
written exercises. Another thing, i do
not believe in corporal punishment in the

John Peters, of Canton, was the last
driver and had the last stretch. He
had a brag team, had worked himself
into a furor of excitement, and en-
couraged by Newton, who retained his
seat on the box from Steubenvllle, he
pushed his horses for all the speed he
could get out of them, galloping up hill
and down. Four miles west of Waynes.

Sleeps Hill on the Mccall farm, the
stage came up with the sulky. At the
bottom of the hill there is long stretch
of deep sand and through this the horse
labored. Here the stage passed and as
young Hanson saw that it was useless
to make any further effort, he drew off,
gave up the contest and returned to
Waynesburg, where he rested his horse
for aday and then returned to Steuben-
vile.
There was rumor current for some
time after the race, and believed by
many that the Hanson horse died from
the effects of the drive, but | am happy
to be able to contradict that story. In
gathering the items for this narrative
obtained indisputable proof that the
horse lived many years after ard was
well cared for during his natural life.

The Democrats are not expected to
elect a Congressman in this district,
in November. We are supposed to be
in the district, but as to the election we
are not in it. AS citizens and lovers
of our common country, however, we
have the same interest as the Republi-
cans. We have right to ask for a
representative man; and the great
county of Stark, one of the greateat
in the United States, ought to present
a man for Congress of ability, culture
and experience in public affairs. The
Republicans Of this county should see
to it that such man is presented to
the Salem convention.
