THE SYSTE SUCCESSFUL

The system of uniform county ex-
aminations, inaugurated by Superin-
tendent Scherer, has been complete
success. AS per announcements the
examinations were held at a given
school house in every township on
February 18th and 18th. According
to reports received from the teachers
conducting these examinations, 2S3
pupils availed themselves of the OPP
pOrtunity to ascertain what advance
ments they had made in the educa-
tional field. Those pupils passing
sixty-five per cent. in every one of ten
branches are entitled to,a common
school diploma.
Twenty-Five diplomas were issued in
all, of which number the Madison
Lake school, under the efficient prin-
cipalship of A. A. Campbell, received
eight: Sterling Center school, Mr.. j.
A. Hovierson, teacher, five; the Good
Thunder school, Mr.. G. f. Stillwell,
teacher, three.
Those pupils who passed above
siXty-five per cent. in some studies
| (but not in all received a certificate
stating thereon in which subject and
at what per cent. they had passed. OF
these single certificates there were
six hundred and siXty-nine issued, and
the Vernon Center school, Mr.. E. |.
Sherman, teacher, received the largest
number, viz: one hundred and four.
In all eight hundred and ninety-one
papers were forwarded to the superin.
tendent to be regarded, and only two
were found to be below the required
standard. 20
The following number of papers
were received and passed as above
grade in each branch of study:

1t will be seen from the above that
grammar is the study in which pupils
are the weakest, with arithmitic a
close second. The work of the pupils,
taken as whole, is very good and
would be creditable even to city
schools. The majority of teachers
have worked faithfully for the success
of this plan, and to them is due in a
large measure the good results at
tanned.
Besides furnishing the pupils with
an incentive the certificate and di-
plOma plan has furnished means
whereby the work of the different
teachers, as well as their scholars, can
be measured by common standard.
The paper shows in which particular
each teacher is weak and what is his
hobby. 1t is a matter for thought
and gives the superintendent chance
for suggestions when a school passes
two in grammer, four in arithmetic
and nineteen in geography. 1t can be
seen at glance what the hobby of
that teacher is.
The diplomas have not yet arrived,
but as soon as they have Mr.. Schercr
will forward them to the pupils hav-
ing earned them. If our space per-
mits we will publish the names and
addresses Of those receiving them.

Jane.


The result Of deception is no
better illustrated than in the great
est of all comedies *.Jane" which
comes to the Lafayette Opera
House next Sunday night, January
20. To know that the Prodlgal
protege misreprescnts to his guar
dian that he is married, and that
mis- wife's extravaganza causes him
to draw heavily on his fortune,
while in reality he does it to pay
his gambling debts, and the untime-
ly arrival of the guardian, who
comes to see the wife, place the
young spendthrift i'll a position that
can hardly be acceptable. especially
as he desires that the guardian must
not know that he has been decelv-
ing him. and to carry out his decep-
ton it will be necessary to present
his wife and offspring to the guar
dian. The predicament of the
Young man can be imagined. But
at the last moment, Jane, his pretty
housemaid, comes to his assistance
and arranges matters so that she
will act the part Of a wife to him
during the stay Of the guardian
Jane however is secretly married to
her masters valet, who is SO jealous
and irritable that during the visit OF
the guardian he gives the secret
away.

Should be Stopped.

The Gazette's attention has been
called to the way in which the west
bound passenger train blockades
early all the street crossing. This
train stops at this station twenty
minutes and during that time vehi-
cles are very much inconvenienced.
There is no necessity for this pracs
tice by the railroad officials; it is
simply a piece of carelessness on
their part and the town authorities
should see that it is stopped.
