cation Committee held meeting in cham
bers. Besides the members of the CON-
mtiee the principals of all the schools
were present, the object being to discuss
the new rule.
President Hyde stated that the object
of the rule was to distribute more gener-
ally the school children of the city. but
that if it was found that certain schools
were depleted. and others overfilled, some
modification of the rule would have to be
made.
Superintendent SWEET said that the
rule should be as rigidly enforced as
possible, but that the ncipals should
exercise discretion in the matter, as in
cases where there was little variance in
the boundary lines.
Many of the principals gave their ex-
periences during the day, and the universal
verdict was that each school had lost
pupils, and none gained any.
In some cases as many as $50 children
were compelled to leave schools where
they had previously attended.
Superintendent SWEET explained that the
reason no schools had gained the pupils
turned away was because they had not yet
reported to the schools In whose district
they lived.
Several of the principals said that if
they thought the rule was to be literally
construed they. would not have turned
away so many pupils. Albert Lyser said
he could have kept sixty pupils if he had
known he could exercise his discretion
where there was but little difference as re-
CARDS residence.
Mrs. Mann, principal of the Hawthorne
School, said that by reason of the rule she
would be consolidated out" of four teach
ers. while she only had ten.
President Hyde informed her that that
was just what the board wanted, aud that

Cure for HeaveS.

I have what I think is sure cure
for heaves in horses, although your
veterinarian says, mo cure for it. -
A year ago I had splendid brood
mare just as bad as she could be
to live. | began giving her the oil
OF tai three times a day, for week;
and rested a few days and gave it
another week. Dose, one teaspoon
full. It is easily given if you
stand on her right side, place your
left hand ont her nose and with the
right hand draw out the tongue a
little; My boy was on the other side
with medicine in a teaspoon, and
when his chance came turned the
spoon upside down on her tongue.
since harvest I have seen no cough
or heaves, and but very little for
some time before. | kept her entirely
on grass, and cut grass for her at
noon; but since harvest she has eaten
hay like any other horse, and she has
been wintered i'm the meadow on hay
alone, is in fine fix, and as the best
evidence of her cure she will raise
me colt this spring.
The disease comes from bad,
punkey, dusty hay, which should
never be fed to; any horse. She did
a hard summers work and improved
all the time. I gave the medicine
after she had eaten her feed, when we
were ready to go to work. so il would
remain as long as possible. know
