Swe iish Church Society Elects Offic rs
A Conference of Teach RS.

The Pontiac Swedish Methodist Church So
cieiy held its annual meeting in the vestry OF
the church, Saturday afternoon and after the
reports Of the .fficers had been read elected

A farmer who refused TO give his name or
residence was in the Valley this morning ex'

reticent rs TO the location of the place where
he found the ore.
Tine French Republican Club held its annual
banquet in ST. Johns Hall, Saturday evening.
The Warwick Teachers Association held
its bi-monthly meeting in the schoolhonse at
Cromptou, Saturday. President Litteheld pre-
sided and question of text books was
thoroughly discussed by the members, some
OF whom desire a change in tho books and adj
vance many reasons to prove that change
would be very beneficial and there are other
books preferable TO those now in use. This
desire for new text books is all right from the
teachers point of view, but il is not likely
that the taxpayers who have within the past
few years been compelled To pay for whole
outfit for the schools and a lot OF useless
books and games that have never been and
never will be Of any use TO the teachers or
scholars, and which are now stored away IN
the town hall at Apponaug, will easily be con-
vinced either that the school committee did
not understand its business when IL purchased
the present text books or that the books have
become SO behind the times within few years
and the probabilities are that the teachers and
scholars will be obliged TO be content with the
present books for some time TO come. The
taxpayers would probably lock on the text
book question in different light II 1t were
net for the entirely unexpected shortage in
the appropriation made when the present
books were purchased and the large quantity
of apparently useless "school supplies at
AppoDaug and there are many things which
will have 10 DO explained before they will
view with any favor change in the books
with.th accompanying chance for some en-
terprising agent TO again unload lot OF dead
stock on the town.
