Control Of Pupils Outside
r, the School Room.

Grace Espy Patton, superinten-
dent of Public Instruction, recent
ly addressed communication to
Hon. B. l.. Carr, Attorney Gen.
eral, asking for a decision on the
question of the power of school
boards and teachers in the gov
ernment of the conduct of pupils
both in and out of school. From
the reply We make the following
extract which will be of interest to
both pupils and parents:
So far as my Investigation goes
1 have found no case which de-
MES the right of the board of di-
rectors and the teacher to make
reasonable and necessary rules for
the government of the schools or
which confines the operation of
these rules to the school house or
the school grounds. On the other
hand, every case in which the
qvestion has been raised sustains
the doctrine that any reasonable
rule for the government Of the
conduct of the children attending
the schools, not only during the
time they are in the school room,
but while away from it, and on
their way to and from school, will
be sustained by the courts.
In the light of these decisions I
have no hesitation whatever in adj
vising you that under the constl-
tuition and laws of this state the
board of directors of any district
have power to establish reasonable
rules and regulations for the gov
ernment of the schools under
their charge, for controlling the
conduct Of teachers and pupils,
not only while in the school room,
but while going to and from the
school, and that such reasonable
rules and regulations may be en-
forced by suspension, expulsion or
corporal punishment, as the board
Of directors may determine.
That in the absence of any rules
and regulations prescribed for the
government of the schools by the
board of directors, it is within the
power of the teacher to make
such reasonable rules and regula-
tions, and to enforce them in the
same manner, subject always to
the supervision of the board Of di-
rectors.

Prospective State Treasury
Shortage.

The state board of equalization
is worried over the prospect of n
serious deficit in the state funds
this year. The assessors of the
various counties are blamed for
this state of affairs. The board
has received information that the
county assessors this year intend
to cut the total valuation of prop
erty from S1O,OOO,O00 to 25,OOO,-
600. This cut is made in spite of
the known fact that the value of
property has materially increased
during the past year, and it is be-
lieved that the next legislature
will find it g If seriously embar-
assed for funds.

Hicks Forecasts for May.
Another fall of barometer, rise

Hicks Forecasts for May.
Another fall of barometer, rise
in temperature and general return
to storm conditions will be the Or
der about 10Th to 18th. Change
to high barometer and cooler may
rush in behind this low area, but
change to much warmer with a
! marked fall of the barometer, end
ing in u series of daily rain and
thunder storms, may be reason
ably expected from the Goth to
Oath. Watch all vicions looking
storm clouds about Saturday, Sun
day and Monday, the 2lst to 23rd.
Ii wind currents, temperature and
barometer do not change by the
23rd, daily cycle of rain and
thunder storms may be expected
until such changes do appear,
even If they last up to and through
the reactionary period central on
the 27 to 80. Very highbarom-
eter and change to much cooler,
with danger Of heavy frost far
northward, are very probable
when storm conditions break up
and the high barometric area
comes on from west and north.
But for the oppositions of Saturn
and Uranus in the last half of
May nothing would appear in the
astronomical outlook to excite ex-
pectations Of anything but normal,
placid weather. But the opposi.
tion of Uranus on the 22nd, and
that of Saturn on the 29th no one
be surprised if many things out of
the ordinary transpire, such as
seismic shocks, solar outbursts,
nuroral and magnetic disturban-
ces, with some wicked, dangerous
storms, the last half of May and
ten days or more into June.
We call attention to the last
paragraph Of our May forecasts,
page 33 Of our 1898 almanac in
which we explain the fact that the
suns magnetic and electric power
is greatest about the months of
May and June over n longitudinal
belt covering the central parts Of
our country. Hence the storms
during this part Of the season take
on the most active electrical fea-
lures, and when extra disturbing
causes happen at the same time,
tornadoes, cyclones and heavy
general storms of lightning and
thunder are the most frequent
and fatal. We do not calculate
that May this year will bring an
unusual number of hard, danger
Gus storms. The last half of June
and the first half of July seem
from our standpoint of reckoning
to promise more violent distur-
Dances than May. We also be-
lieve that there will be ample
moisture to mature all early crops
over most parts of our country.
Many low lands are likely to have
too much rain in June. Hot
winds and drouth will affect re-
gions west and northwest, the last
half Of summer and into the
autumn. We predict that good
seasonal rains will prevail over all
the south side of our continent and
we'll up into the Central States, SO
that all who plant promptly and
work vigorously may hope to re-
alize abundant early crops.-Word

very agreeable surprise Friday
evening. 1t was the occasion of
his sixty-third birthday and the
friends and neighbors gathered in
large numbers, completely filling
the house. If a good time was
not enjoyed the crowd had no bus
mess to stay until long after the
midnight hour. Light refresh
ments were served. Miss Berry's
vocal music was much enjoyed as
was also the instrumental music
by Messrs. Lester, Parker and
Woodbury..
Some cantaloupes which were
up were nipped by the frost. The
seed that is in the ground is all
right and coming along in good
shape.
