The saying about the lion and the

there is another and better one which
is literally true When March comes in
and finds you taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla to purify, enrich and vitalize your
blood, you may expect, when it goes
out, that it will leave you free from
that tired feeling, and with none Of
the boils, pimples and eruptions which
manifest themselves because of i'm
pure blood in the spring. If you have
not already begun taking Hoods Sar-
saparilla for your spring medicine, we
advise yon to begin today, We assure
You it will make you feel better all

Suggestions TO Examiners.

All persons holding examinations fcr
diplomas will please observe the follow
ing suggestions:
1. See that every blank place on the
application card is properly filled out,
especially the number of the school dis
trict as that must be inserted in the di-
ploma when granted.
2. Collect so cents from each new ap-
plicant. Pupils who paid last year are
exempt, but should mark on the top Of
the application cards, paid last year"
3. Hsve pupils put names on every
sheet Of manuscript handed in.
4. Number each answer in the mid
die Of the page in Roman notation.
5. In case question cannot be an
swered it should be numbered and line
or two Of space left to show such
commission.
6. The examiner should retain all

ton which occurs on Saturday, March
3Ist, when the manuscripts for both ex-
aninations can be sent to this Office in
one express package. If the package is

Educational.

As the schools Of 1899 and I9D are
closing I wish to congratulate the boards
OF the county on the general success Of
the school year.
! have before me seven term reports Of
teachers. Two Of these are unsigned.
Three fail to give the number Of cases Of
tardiness. Others are defective In other
particulars. Two Of the seven are cor
rect. These reports were brought or sent
by teachers.
This report should NEVER be sent to
this Office by the teacher. II is the duty
Of the teacher TO make out these reports
in duplicate and give both copies to the
the district clerk. The clerk should ex-
anime them and see that every blank
place is filled out properly. He should
also receive from the teacher the daily
register and see that it is properly kept
and in no instance should he issue an
order for the last months wages until a
thorough examination satisfies him that
the records are correct.
The district clerk should file one Of
these term reports with his papers and
mail the other to this Office at once.
An accurate full report is important
because much Of the clerks annual re-
port is taken from it and errors or omis-
sions cause endless and useless trouble.
If your school year is divided into two
terms and both are taught by the same
teacher one term report covering both
terms is sufficient.
Teachers blank term reports were sent
to clerks last July. If you need others,
call or send for them.
If you hav e had any change in teach
and such change has not been reported
to this Office please do so that the first
record may be corrected.
I have several hundred copies of the
School Laws of '99. They are for school
boards. You are invited to call and get
a copy.

success of the schools of Sumner county
