RURAL SCHOOL MEETING.
Il Was Held At Carthage Last
Saturday.

Speaking OF the meeting OF teachers,
directors and patrons OF rural schools at
Carthage last Saturday, the Carthage
Democrat has the following;
Teachers, directors and patrons Of the
Jasper county rural schools met in the
criminal court room yesterday In re
Spouse to a snll issued by County Su-
perintendent Denison, for the purpose oil
discussing grading rural schools and
establishing school libraries.
MIR. Denison, presided and there was
free exchange Of opinions on the subject
1t was one OF the best and most har-
monious school meeting ever held in the
county, and it resulted in the establish
ment OF permanent organization OF
county school directors, who will here
after meet once month 10 discuss
school affairs. The next meeting will be
held Saturday, December Z, at the same
place.
In regard to grading rural schools
those opposed at first were those who lid
not understand the work proposed. AT
the close of the discussion the feeling
was unanimous for pushing the rural
schools to the front 10 every line OF
advancement. Grading the schools, av
erages the work aud advance pupils who
are brighter in some studies than others
For instance, a pupil who is dull IL
arithmetic but bright in history, is ad
yancod ip the latter while yet in lower
grade in the former.
In the afternoon the rural sshoo
library was discussed and met with nj
opposing views. Each who spoke wa
for more books. There are 10 per cen
OF Jasper county schools now supplied
with libraries, 30 per cent having addct
libraries within the past year. 1t Is
thought all will have them before anoth
or school year has passed.
, The library supplements school worl
and tends TO create an interest not other
wis., obtaiuable. In the selection o
books, those pertaining TO the studies arr
largely in the majority, lut STANDARD
work Of fiction are added.

LONG BARTON'S RACE

In a gloomy room, made more dis
nal By a spluttering candle set in a
bottle, the sides OF which were COW
cred with a copious overflow of tai
low. a young man sat, attempting to
decipher the words on a small piece
of paper. Near him, with her head
bent forward in an anxious. half ex-
pectant attitude, was his mother, on
whose not unattractive face were
the lines of toll and suffering.
"Well, George" she finally said,
"why don't you read it?"
II can hardly make il out, moth
er," her son replied, "but it's new,
and he says he got the receipt from
one of the great piano makers in
New York. It's the stuff that makes
the cases shine so. Think of i'll IL
| could get such polish on my skis,
why, I'd win that 5000 and pay off
the mortgage and get you a thick
cloak and all the things you need" Z"
"Yes, George" said the woman, a
slight flush tingeing her pale face /;
"but you've tried so many kinds of
dope and they ali failed. I'm
afraid it's your way of riding. dear" :"
"My way of riding!" exclaimed
The young man. and he looked up
and ran his hands through his curly
hair. "Why. there isn't a man in
Plumas county who can toss more
snow in day, lift more, stand more,
than can l."
His mother said nothing. She
sighed as she looked up at the snow
covered windows, then glanced at
her companion with an expression
that combined pride and pity. The
young man had not overstated his
prowess. He was giant, colossus
in strength, seven feet tall, but so
thin, so long Of limb, so strangely
drawn out that for miles around he
was known as Long Barton" and
"Tanglefoot" He was a miner, like
his father, who had been killed in
an avalanche two seasons before.
The winter had set in early, and a
succession OF snowstorms had buried
the little hamlet of dozen houses
so deep in the snow that around the
Barton home il was nearly 80 feet
on the level. and the hamlet. so far
as appearances went, had been wiped
-out of-existenee and lay with all its
domestic life under the snow. The
entire male population had dug the
Bartons out. as in previous winters,
the operation consisting in begin
ming a shoot so feet from the front
of the house, or where il was sup
posed to be. and sinking a burrow
or shoot at an angle of As degrees in
the direction of the second story.
1t took some time to accomplish this
after the last storm, bu; finally the
miners reached the attic window,
giving a rousing cheer as Mrs. Bar
ton and her son appeared to well
come them From this time the at
tic window had been the front door.
George had cut steps up the burrow,
and the Bartons, as the postmaster
remarked. we're Sin society again.
The chimney had been sphced with
pieces kept for the purpose, so that
the top reached the surface of the
snow, and as George had piled a
plentiful supply of wood in the
house in September and there was
an abundance of candles, oil and
provisions things were as comforta-
BILE in the Barton home as in any
house in the place 20 or more feet
under the snow.
But there is a skeleton in every
household, it is'said, and in the Bar
ton home it was pride and debt.
The elder Barton had left mort
