degrees north of the equator, on a
dreary plain where there is hardly
vegetation enough to keep a camel
from starving, are tortured the live

Butler County Schools.

County Supd't McCollough's reportfor the
School year ending June ., 1895, TO the
State Supd't.)
In the last years report of this term, we
think we are safe in saying that our schools
have made unusually rapid progress. 4
desire to see our schools improve and pros
per, is manifested by all interested in the
welfare OF our boys and girls. Better
wages are being paid, and the school term
has been increased in many OF the dis
tricts. The teachers are becoming better
qualified to teach. 4 great number during
the spring and summer months were in at
tendance at some of the higher institutions
of learning We are becoming more con-
vinced every year that teachers, as well as
followers Of all other professions, should
enter upon their work only when they
have completed some prescribed course,
which should give them that thorough
knowledge, training and discipline that
will fit and qualify them for their lite's
work.
Our county institute was success. The
attendance was exceedingly large, the
directors and patrons as well as teachers,
manifesting an interest in its proceed
ings.
The districts as organized several years
before, each held one or more meetings
| during the term. The attendance this
year at these local institutes was consider
ably larger than ever before. The teachers
were assisted at these meetings By Pro-
fessors Murphy, McClymonds, Rickets,
| Magee. Wilson, Knock, Gilbert and DR..
Maltby.
Petersvile, a new school district COM
posed of part of Connoquenessing town
ship and part of Forward township, was
| Organized.
Thirteen new buildings were erected
during the last year. Adams, three; Ale
gheny, one; Cherry one; Clay, one; Frank
lin Ind.) }, one; Jackson, one; Mercer, one;
Parker, one; Penn, one, and Prospect
one.
Prospect erected fine commodIous two
story brick building, equipped with mod
ern improvements at a cost of $4,000.
Webster's International Dictionary was
placed in about half the school districts of
the county. Yaggy's geographical charts
were also purchased by a number Of dis
tricts.
With the exceptions of two, all the
schools in the county were visited. Three
hundred and five visits in all were made.
The work of classification and grading the
schools was continued. Pupils who were
found to be taking but part of the work
were classified in those branches, which
it was deemed necessary for them to pur-
sue.
Two hundred pupils were examined by
committees Of teachers appointed by the
superinten dent. One hundred and thirty
received diplomas.
Five hundred and twenty-fv applicants
for teachers certificates were examined.
Three hundred and twenty seven received
certificates and one hundred and ninety
eight were rejected.

RUPTURE

Cannot always be cured, but a
properly fitting Truss will do
more toward curing you than any
thing else. a small rupture is
more dangerous than a lage one
but is more readily held in place.
Quite number of persons who
have been fitted by US have been
entirely cured, but this is not al
ways the case. The sooner we
have them visit us after finding
they are ruptured the more hope
Of a complete cure. We make a
speciality of Trusses for both
ladies and gentlemen, and give di-
rections for private Measurement
for the former. Al, cases consid-
cred strictly PyrVafe. Buying
Trusses by mail from some person
who says he can cure you is on a
parallel with the number Of cures
there are for consumption. If you
