From Tuesday until Saturday of lat

ring in the Susquehanna that could e
conveniently handled and some very big

Peach growers who have prospects If q
gooi crop are now establishing the prizes
which they will receive While it is rather
early 10 estimate it is generally believed
that prices will he higher than for some
year,, because people have more money
AIth which 20 make purchase Many of
the growers think the prevailing price for
good peaches will be 81 basket retail, and
perhaps scventy-tive cents basket whole
sale, while Others think the prices will be
even higher. The last pea III crop came in
hard times, when people had little money
with which to buy, and in consequence of
this the prices received were low. There
are also reports current that crops in some
OF the other peach growing sections will be
smaller than usual
At the recent Teachers Institute in
Elkton, MI. A. b. McVey, of the Pleasant
Hill school, replied to the query: "What
can teacher do to induce boy to come
to school when he will not 90 and his
parents cannot make him go?" Said Mr..
McNey: II fear | cannot answer this
difficult question. | think the teacher has
little to do with such case; but suppose
| am expected to talk about it whether |
answer it or not One time attended
cooking lecture The article to be cooked
was fish. The lecturer said the fist thing
is to catch the fish. In this case, we must
catch the parents as well. A father once
being very DESTROYS that his beautiful
daughter should become married or popu-
larly speaking, commit matrimony, and
by the way she was a teacher who | sup
pose had accumulated money enough to
keeps man, said "Eather | cannot find
suitable companion" When referred to
several eligible young men, she condemned
one for smoking, another for this fault ard
another for that fault. "My daughter s"
be said, you are i'll the wrong place, liea-
ven is your home, and an angel should he
your companion" Now this boy is not in
his proper place. A boy who will not obey
his parents is not fit to live, neither is he
prepared to die He cannot 90 above. |
would not like to see any one go below, so
would suggest fine on the parents and
that the boy be handed over to State officers
and sent to some Reformatory Institution
until we have compulsory education law,
with special schools for such children The
one who gave this query believe to be a
live teacher who has the good of the COM
munity at heart; hut ] do not consider the
teacher need bother her head about the
boy. Sometime ago kind, loving mother
said to me, Mr.. McVey, if you are keeping
this school | want you to understand you
must keep my boy at school. | replied |
contracted to teach school and was not
aware chat had been appointed on the
police force"
