MULCT PETITION IN SAC COUNTY.
WAL Lake Blade.1
We understand the petition being cir
culated has about SUFFICIENT signers to
bring about licenee saloons instead of
unlicenred bootleggers and jointp. There
-is only one Township in the county that
any serious opposition has been made to
the petition. We ailude to Jackson
1a1. g1A
OF course 1t is the privilege Of Sac City
citizens to oppose the petition II they
see fit to do 20, but we believe they are
making mistake. They alone will have
to suffer for that. and We should not
care II they are standing in their own
light. We hope the matter will be set
settled in friendly manner and no bad
sores left to be reopened at some future
date, but we fear not.
PRIMARY CHILDREN IN GROUPS.

A new candidate for favor is the
plan OF receiving the primary children
in groups. 1t Is as II Miss Kittle, hav-
ing sixty beginners, would not have
them all come at 9 and remain until a
quarter after IL, but would have twenty
of them come at 3 and stay until ten
minutes of 10; at 10 clock the second
group of twenty would appear and re-
.ceive their lessons, being dismissed at
1880. The third group would be on
hand at i'll and receive their instruction.
Much s claimed for the plan. 1t Is bet
ter for the health of the children. Teach
ers and the pupils could do better work
Less opportunity would be Afforded foI
the contamination OF the morals OF tht
little ones. There would be reduced
danger of crushing out the child . spon.
taneity from long Imposed restraint ant
larger opportunity for parents to exer
else influence over their children. TIL,
plan is said to be very satisfactor,
where It IL tried.
