SCHOOL FUNDS.
J. r. Morris Says the County Court

J. r. Morris Says the County Court
Does Not Control.
To the Editor Of The Herald:
The statement, ostensibly emanating
from the county seIectmen, that the
ex-county court had, in '94, misappro-
priated funds OF 'S3 belonging to the
several school districts, is absolutely
and unqualifedly false and evidently
prompted by the ignorance and animus
of its authors. The county court has
no control of the funds belonging 10
the school districts. Such funds are
paid to the collector; by him recovered
into the county treasury, and by the
treasurer paid out upon the order Of the
SUPERINTENDENT Of schools to the dis
trict trustees. The law neither directs
nor permits the county to advance un-'
collected taxes to the several school
districts of the county. A claim OF
this character was presented to the
county court in "a by district No. 90,
and upon advice of the county attor-
ney was denied; nor does the law direct
or permit the county treasurer to pay
to the various school districts any pro-
portion of the redemption money. II IS
stated that because OF the nOu-p1S iliS-4l
by the county of the school funds OF
'9S. that some Of the county schools
will probably have TO close before the
end of the regular term. The collector
"struck off, to the county 12S parcels
of land in the county outside of Salt
Lake city for delinquent taxes Of '9S.
The total of such taxes amounted to
s1,2s301. One-fifth of this sum, or
s236.6 properly belonged to the out
laying school districts. Upon the sales
the county advanced 1882 as costs for
selling, ETC. The redemptions from
such sales in 1894 amounted to s725.27.
and of such sum there might con-
structively be due to all Of the out
laying school districts the sum total
of S145. 05. These figures do not include
the territorial school tax nor the special
levies for special purposes in three
districts, but only the county school
IF the want Of this $145.O5 will cause
the closing of the district schools
throughout the county. and the voting
of S37S. 900 of gold bonds viii stay the
calamity, it is certainly imperative that
the bonds should be voted without a
mur1nur and without a negative.

Windsor. mo? Well, he's good fell
low. You want to cultivate him if he
ever strays this far away from his sta
ton at Fort Robinson.
II know a fairly good story about
him, if you care to have it.
HE was one of the younger class of
second lieutenants that come into the
northwest just before the Indian trou-
bles which eliminated in the fight at
Wounded Knee. Preston had been as
signed to duty in the Ninth cavalry,
the black regiment you know;Eand
those negro soldiers had pretty
strong doubt about his heroic quail
tics
But he gathered his men, according
to orders, when the hostiles were
rounded up there at Standing Rock,
and held one side of the square which
inclosed the warlike and dangerous
band of savages. The Indians had
come out of their tents with their
blankets around them and their lead
ers declared that they were unarmed,
and that they wanted to talk The
negro cavalrymen, dismounted and
resting at will, " were inclined to wan
der about rather more than was agree
able to Preston's tidy West Point ideas,
and he hauled them back in line. They
looked at his jaunty uniform, and al
most wished they might see him in
real trouble, just for the pleasure of
testing him.
''Well, the Indians got to the middle
of the horseshoe-li1e enclosure of
troops, and then at a given signal by
their chiefs they threw off their
blankets, and each one was seen armed
with a rifle, Ratchet and scalping-
knife. They fred point blank at close
range and with deadly effect at the
soldiers. OF course you know the
story of the battle. That is O tale
that is told.
THE attack was so sudden and I'M
expected that the soldiers were thrown
into confusion, and they turned and
ran to cover. 1t was the worst posi-
BILE thing, but the first thing that sug-
gested itself to the imperiled men.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.
First One Started In Connecticut Fialf "a
Century Ago.

The idea of agricultural schools and
colleges in New England was origi-
mated in the old town of Cornwall, in
Litchfield county, half a century ago,
by DIR. Samuel Wadsworth Gold, who
established the first school of the kind
in this country. He associated his son,
Theodore S. Gold, who had been grad
uated from Yale a few years, in the
management of the institution.
The son remained at the head
of the school twenty-four years,
when the enterprise was given
up,and the corps ofteachers disbanded.
1t is an interesting fact that four noted
schools were founded during the period
in question in the region of the Housa-
tonic valley.
Theodore S. Gold, who is now the
venerable secretary of the Connecticut
state board of agriculture, was at the
head of the distinctively agricultural
school. Frederick Gum, who COM
pleted his life-work in the famous Con-
necticut school called 1.-The Gunnery,"
in Washington, was a neighbor and
co-worker with Principal Gold. Am
brose Rogers, who died in an insane
asylum. and Burton Hart, now of
New York, were the competitors
of school masters Gold and Gum.
Ambrose Rogers had q meteor
like career, and is still remembered
in Litchield county and the Berk-
shires on account of his striking
genius. Schoolmaster Gum was an
angler and hunter, loving the rod and
gun next to his school. He was an
apostle of athletics, and taught his
pupils in the field as well as in the
classroom. Mr.. Gold had the broadest
ideas with regard to agricultural edu-
cation, and the lads who were sent to
him from all sections Of Connecticut,
were brought up on the farm. Every
boy had a garden assigned him, and
spent regular hours in outdoor work.
Prof. Brush, of the Sheffield scientific
school at Yale, was one of the lads
trained under Schoolmaster Gold. The
farm life of the pupils was wholesome
and healthful. IN. Y. Times.

Not only has he to emphasize the facial
movements which are appropriate to
his part, in order that his expression
may be plainly seen by the pit and gal

change his role frequently, and to as
sumo a succession of characters re-

muscles are exercised as thoroughly as
are the body muscles of an athlete who
is undergoing a systematic course in a

face, when seen at rest, no one group
of expression muscles outputs the 9th

of muscular balance there is about it a
peculiar aspect suggestive of mask.
