scarcely a season passes that one or
two OF them are not killed"

The following statement in re-
gard to the county su inner schools
throughout the State has been
issued from the office of the State
superintendent.of education:
The idea in the summer schools
tits year is the same general idea
in those last year as set forth in
the circulars published then, as
discussed in the annual report of
this Office and as consummated in
the work in those schools. The
schools will be in session for four
weeks, six days in the week as
last year. Since however there
are peculiar conditions in some
of the counties, teachers going
home on Saturday, wishing to go
home on Friday and the like, it
has been decided to allow the ln-
structors after ascertainlng the
wishes of the teachers on the SUBJ
ject, to decide between five days
or six days. The length of the
school session will vary some what
being never less than three hours
daily nor more than five
The subjects taught will be in
one section, arithmetic, geography
and English, and for another alce-
bra, history and Eaglish. One
of these courses, the first, cor
respond with the course of
last year. The second is primari-
ly for those who attended the
schools last year, and is in advance
of the first; but the instructors
are expected to use their judgment
in the assignment of the teacher
pupils to the one or the other of
these sections.
The reports as to the payment
of expenses of teachers by the
county boards have not yet como
in. However Mr.. Leonard r
Baker who will be in charge Of
Lancaster school writes that the
county board there has contribute
Ell so towards the expenses of
each teacher living out of town.
Mr.. Handy, one of the mem bers
of the board of Georgetown writes
that the board there will probably
pay IS to each teacher.

time. However, some fields have
been replanted and others planted
over. Chopping is pretty well
under way but farmers are several
weeks behind in thinning out the
crop as labor is little scarce.
The corn crop is about all planted
and will be an average acreage
compared with other years. Small
grain has improved greatly since
the late rains and will be good
where there are stands. Some of
our farmers are sowing German
and Hungarian millet for forage
