Eklo, 9th District. -Thanksgiving passed
off in this section without any notable event
occurring. The day was not observed, as was
the intention of the founders two hundred and
seventy-eigh years ago, in New England, in
giving thanks to the bountiful Giver. 1t
seems as though we are not grateful enough
for the blessings we receive.
The milk and pie'' festival, held by the
ladies of Eklo NJ. e. Church last week, was
we'll attended and very much enjoyed.
Last Saturday while John Heck, teamster
for Mr.. ]. E. Bull, was hauling grain to New
Freedom, he fell and the wheels of the wagon
passed over his leg, below the knee, crushing
the bones badly.
Mr.. c. T. WinehoIt teacher at Soldiers De-
light, 4th district, spent the Thanksgiving va
cation with his father, in this village.
Misses Mamie and Blanche Baldwin paid
visit to Baltimore at Thanksgiving.
Judge Melchor Hoshall, of the Orphans
Court, last Saturday shot monster chicken
hawk. 1t required eight rounds to bring it to
the ground.
We experienced heavy rain fall on Tues
day, which has softeued the earth and, we
hope, strengthened the failing springs and
wells.
Mr. John T. Hershner. assistant examiner,
was visiting schools in this district the first of
this week.
The school of experience, although dear, is
said to be the best. 1t is to be hoped that our
school authorities will thoughtfully consider
the important question of the curriculum of
studies in our public schools and, by the
cooperation of our ablest and most successful
teachers, devise some means by which the less
important studies might be expunged from
the catalogue. They will earn, not only the
gratitude of the teacher and pupil, but of the
intelligent parent also.
Vertical writing, which has been introduced
in the schools, does not appear to be generally
popular. Many parents look upon it as new
tangled method, neither beautiful in forma-
ton nor rapid in its execution. PHILo.
