NEW TEXT BOOK LAW.

Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
tion Shaeffer has issued the following
circular;
The act Of assembly approved June
%, 1885, conferred upon the several
boards of school directors and con
trollers permissive authority to pur-
chase text books out of the schools
fund and to supply these books free Of
cost to pupils for use in the schools OF
their respective districts.
This act was so amended by the act
of May IL, 1893, as to make it mandatory
upon school directors hereafter to
provide at the expenses of the district
not only text books but all other
necessary school supplies.
This amended act goes into immed-
late operation from the Beginning of
the current school year, dating from
the first Monday in June, 1893 The
design of the act evidently is to relieve
parents and pupils hereafter of the
necessity Of purchasing text books and
school supplies for use in our public
schools. 1t is now the imperitive duty
of the several boards Of directors and
controllers to make provision for far
nishing and equipping their schools
with school books and the supplies
generally needed by the pupils for
daily use in the schools such as states
pencils, paper, pens, ink, tablets, etc
Books in all the required branches
of study are to be provided by the
directors and for all grades of public
schools, including the high schoo

Democratic Candidates KIckinE High.
There is a general kick among the
democratic candidates for tina various
offices to be filled in Lehigh county
this fall. The county executive COM
mittee at meeting decided to assess
the fortunate nominees as follows;
Prothonotary, $500; register of wills
$3.50; county treasurer, $500; commiss.
toner's, sl25 each; poor directors, sl5.
coroner, s25l auditors, $40. The matter
has occasioned considerable talk, as
the figures are regarded as high. The
committee defends its action on the
ground that there are twenty more
election precincts than formerly ant
that the funds are needed to pay elec
ton officers.

1.-THE Pennsylvania Railroad, It is
said will use telephone instead Of the
telegraph to move it's trains. By tho
perfecting of the long-distanoe tele-
phone, the last obstacle to this sub
stitution has been removed, aud the
Pennsylvania is Snterprising enough
to realize the fact.
tItis stated at HastOn on excsllsnt
authority that the Lehigh Valley Rail
Road will begin about Aug. 26 to run
its trains into Jersey City over the
