s14,529.49, leaving balance not
collected Of $497.10, same being in
f fas.
The Clerks books are all neat and
conveniently arranged so you can
find anything recorded in very
short time. The numerical index
for fading land lots, that have been

is Mr.. Montgomery's idea, showing
that he puts thought, as we'll as

commissioner has arranged an in

expects every teacher to be present.
Let every teacher make it point to
be present at the next meeting.
Col. Power has limited that heavy

Some schools are bothered with
the question of water. Settle that
by giving short recess every tive
hours and allowing no one to get
water except at that time and before
school. Short, frequent recesses
also solve the continual leaving the
room. An average of five PERMITS
sions to leave the room day, for a
school OF sixty pupils, is large one.
The first number of the Educa>
tional Journal, edited by r. j.
Quinn and E. c. Merry, lies before

published in the South can approach
it. It is first class in every respect.

Here are some educational laws
culled from the writing of Come Mus
