Thre are two things which people

INTERESTING SCHOOL FIG
URES,

The following interesting figures
are given out by State superinten-
dent of education. Inasmuch as
the amount of money which each
county receives depends upon the
total number of educabls children
throughout the State, county super
iutendents Will have little trouble
In fixing the salaries of teachers OF
their respective counties for the
ensuing term. 1t should be borne
In mind that the State appropriates
S943,5OO for the maintenance of
the public schools for the constitu-
tional period OF four months. The
assessors of the State haye enum-
ated 563, 439 educable children.
Each child will therefore receive
approximately $1.63. These figures
are not absolutely correct, but
nearly so, as several assessors are
yet behind in sending in their rolls.
The State superintendent of educa-
ton has had vast deal of trouble
with educable rolls, owing to the
fact that some assessors were late
in reporting and made numerous
errors in their rolls which caused
this delay.

the lower mortal self to the higher
spiritual self, or the soul. Ia short,
to recognize a real, living brother
hood of man and to realize that as
the vice-regent of God on earth.
each mans mission in life is to ads
vance the best welfare of bis fellows
men, the measure of each man's res
sponslbility being the measure of
his strength, his intelligence, and
his wealth.-G. M. Coffin, The oso-
