THE RULING PASSION.

Some sing the praises of loves young dream
When things which are and the things which
seem
Glide az one down youths golden stream,
And the song birds wake us early,
when ones heart is fresh with the morning
dew,
When hopes are many and cares are few,
When life is flushed with a rosy hue
And ones hair is crisp and curly.
Some say It's sweetest when love comes late,
When the strings of grief and thorns of fate,
The weary battle of grief and hate
Make LIES great good the stronger;
The Indian summer in regal dyes
Close to the heart of the sunset lies
The last glad smile of the year prize
And wish each moment longer.
But ah, there only remains the truth
That love Is love, be it age or youth;
That love Is love, md in very sooth
OF every soul his master.
For love is love, come he soon or late,
And love alone is the lord of fate.
Deride him. chide him, the god is great,
And he needs not priest nor pastor

CHANGES IN SCHOOL LAW.
Supt. Stetson Calls Attention of Town
Officers to Them.

State Superintendent of Schools Stetson
has issued instructions to towns. After
the annual town meeting of 1897 any pub
lie school without an average attendance
OF at least eight pupils is to be discon-
tinued, unless the town, at its annual
meeting, votes to maintain it. Superin-
tendents of schools must procure con-
veyance of pupils to school when they
reside at such distances as to render such
conveyance necessary.
After March l, 1895, no member of the
school committee is eligible to teach in
the town where he is not a legal resident.
Books, repairs, etc, must be paid for
from fund raised for the purpose and
not from either the common school or the
high school fund. The superintendent of
the school committee has charge of pur-
chasing the text books and making re-
pairs.
At the first meeting of the new
committee they shall designate by lot
mem bers to serve for one, two and three
years respectively. They shall elect a
superintendent of schools who must not
be one of this number and who must not
have a right to vote but can be secretary.
The committee on towns may elect a
superintendent of schools at the annual
meeting, but they must also choose a
committee on free high schools which
must give instruction in high school
studies.
Any failure to comply will subject the
persons Incorporating such high
school funds to fine double the sum
misapplied and the town as a penalty
must restore the amount misappied be-
fore any other funds can be received from
the state. Superintendent must examine
all candidates for admission to the high
schools and determine if their scholastic
attainments fit them for such schools.
School committees shall annually at
suitable times and places hold public ex-
amipations of school teachers, giving
suita Bile notice of the same. Certificates
shall not be granted unless a satisfactory
examination has been passed in specified
branches. The superintendents must re-
port under oath whether statements re-
lating to examinations have been COM
piled with. Mr.. Stetson says that thu
law of 1897 for union of towns for schoo
superintendeuce is the most important
that has been passed by the Legislature
for fifty years, and he declares that ii i.
not necessary To go out of the State for
superintendents. He quotes from the law
at length defending it.
