The historian of Marlborough college, a
famous preparatory school in England,
says that egg collecting was formerly a
great pastime among the boys OF course
there was much rivalry, and a lively deter
mination on the part OF certain of the more
successful boys to Guido their fellows. One
such collector had his eye upon a piece of
marsh some distance up the river in which
he believed a pair of cOOtS to have begun
breeding. At the risk of being caught as a
poacher, he made up his mind to secure
the eggs. To reach the Witty bed on
which his suspicious were fastened, it was
necessary to cross the river.
Having made reasonably sure that the
coast was clear, he took off his shoes and
stockings, and Waded across the stream.
Once over, he had great difficulty in
finding the nest and securing the eggs.
But at that moment the keeper appeared.
There was no question of getting into
boots and stockings The boy seized them
in his hand put the two eggs into his
stiff, peaked cap, and started for the road
He reached it about twenty yards in adj
vance of his pursuer; and then began
race, which, as he says, he shall remember
to his dying day.
His bare feet were a help to him at first.
but the hard flint road soon began to tell
upon him. To run was torture; to stop
would be worse; and he kept on, the
keepers hobnat,s laundering behind him.
On and on he went, gaining slowly upon
the logged keeper, who did not allow him.
elf to be shaken off, however, till the col
lege was close at hand. AS the boy shot
through the gate the dinner bell rang.
There was no time for ceremony. The
eggs, naturally enough, were broken, and
the sticky and unsaVOry mess had filled
his hair and was trickling down his face
and neck.
The reathless collector put his bleeding
feet into his boots. plastered down his
hair and took his place in the hall!

cute the case as personal matter,

Join the Soldiers Home, he contended
that the legislation resulting in locat-

started over year ago In

10 accommodate the pupils OF the a'SuiS'' s"N
80. have tor months been aware Of this need
b,, o,v;no TO the financial depression we have
avoided incurring any indebtedness for the
finishing or furnishing Of rooms to meet TINS
demand. This year, however, we shall DC
compelled to finish and furnish two rooms in
Park school building as they will better ac-
commodate the increase of pupils than North
Salem or Lincoln buildings. On inquiry Of
the Superintendent, we find that the average
attend ance in the school rooms Of the district
is 90, while in some OF the rooms there are
from so to 90 and what is still worse, pupils
are applying for admission who cannot be re-
ceived for want Of room. We feel compelled
to take measures for relief in this regard.
REDUCTION OF SALARIES.
The matter of reduction Of salaries was duly
considered by your board of directors early in
the school year, and it was finally concluded
to reduce the salary Of the Superintendent
from $1,000 per year to $1,000, the Principal o.
North Salem $40 per month, the Clerk $4oc
per annnm,and to open the schools on Oct. Ist
1893, thus saving the district:
On Superintendent. t.............S 200 OK
On Principal North School. ...... 90 OF
On teachers and janitors ..... 2,I3I OK
On-C Clerk ................ ... 400 OK
or in all, 81, ,82I 90. To have decreased The
rate per month on the salary Of the teachers
would have lost us some Of the best teacher'
we, have or have ever had, and we question
whether it is for the interest of the district tC
employ an inferior grade Of teachers in orde
to reduce the expenses of the schools. CHEAP
teachers means an inferior grade Of instruc
tors, and consequently inferior schools. Nc
doubt teachers can be had for less money thar
the district is now paying-possibly for good
deal less-but we think their employment
will tend to lower the grade Of our schools,
demoralize their efficiency, and eventually
prove unsatisfactory to the patrons OF the
schools.
This is subject which should be carefully
considered, and no hasty action should be ta-
ken at the annual meeting.
While on the subject Of teachers we desire
to say that the present school year will prove
one Of unusual labor for the teachers Of the
district, in that course Of ten months is to be
completed in nine. But notwithstanding this,
and the many embarraSsments which the mon.
etary depression has thrown around them, our
teachers are faithfully and earnestly labor
ing to make it one Of the most successful in
the history of the district.
The annual school meeting will be held at
the Opera House on Monday evening, March
5'h, at 1890 o'clock. We hope to see gene
raj attendance.
