There is a law by which It Is possible
for the school district to supply text
books and other school room supplies
free Of cost to the pupils. Such q law is
in force and usefn most eastern states
with satisfactory results. Among the
advantages are that the first:cost Of the
books is less, being bought ct nearly
wholesale rates. The books are taken
better care Of by the scholars as both the
teacher and parent are interested in
watching and the parent is liable for
damage. Then no change will be made
by the board except for the most urgent
reasons. Without intending to criticise
the change just now being made in our
city schools in biographies, which may
be necessary,yet it is certainly unpleasant
and in a manner unfair, for parent to
have purchased new s1.25 geography
January End and then be asked to pur-
chase another of the same grade and
same price on January 10th, and only get
twenty-five cents on the exchange for the
"old" book. Most of the pupils may
have books more or less worn out, and
therefore new book could not be con-
sidered as an extraordinary expense, but
to those having new and good volumes
it is evidently waste of money, and the
few ought not to bear the extra expense.
1t ought to be divided and free school
book system would divide it, and further,
would come under the general ideas of
our common school system, that the
education of youth is the duty of the
whole commonwealth.

"A G BURGLAR
Entered the Home of a Prosperous
an Aged Wood County Farmer,
Tied the Owner and His Wife With
Ropes and Then Ransacked
Premises-The Victim a Brother
of Judge Okey Johnson.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, W. Va, December
PA negro burglar last night entered
the home of Abram Johnson, a pros
porous farmer at Boaz, this county,
bound Mr.. Johnson and his wife hand
and foot, and after ransacking the
house, left the aged couple securely
tied with ropes in their bed, while he
made his escape.
Mr.. Johnson is a brother of Judge
Ckey Johnson, Dean of the Law School
at the West Virginia University, and
is seventy-seyen years old. He lives
alone with his wife, aged seventy-five.
1t was about midnight when they were
awakened by the negro, who had Sc
cured a rope from the stable, and
easily overpowering the aged couple,
bound them tightly. While Mr.. John
son lay helpless in bed the negro tor
tured Mrs. Johnson by twisting her
arms and forced her to go with him
all through the house in search of
money. He secured only S1.20, a gold
watch, which was a family heirloom,
and a knife. Then binding Mrs. John
sons feet hs lett her on the bed and
escaped.
Mr.. Johnson managed in a short
while to get his hands loose and re-
leased his wife. He then ran in his
night clothes to a neighbours to give
the alarm, but it was too late; the
negro had gone. In binding Nj. John
son the negro placed his knee on his
chest, bruising him painfully. Mrs.
Johnson was also injured some by the
w%renching he gave her arms, but Meth
er was dangerously hurt. A good de-
scription was given by Mr.. Johnson
of the negro and officers are keeping
a lookout for him.
