PRINTING SMALL NOTES.
Working Extra Hours at Bureau OF

Working Extra Hours at Bureau of
Engraving and Printing.
Under orders from Assistant Secretary
Allies the bureau Of engraving and printing
continues to work an hour overtime each
day on the printing Of small notes, in ad-
dition to the night shifts that are also at
work. This extra work Is in preparation
for the demand that will soon set in for
small notes for the moving Of crops, be-
ginning first with the west. The demand
has been unusually heavy for a number of
years and this year 1t Is expected to be un-
precedented The trouble has been that the
notes have had to go into circulation be-
fore they were seasoned. The effort now
Is to attempt to obtain q surplus OF small
notes and to season that surplus as much
as possible
Up to the first of this month the bureau
has been turning out 72,OOO sheets of four
notes each day, but the first of this fiscal
year has brought increased appropriations
which will increase the facilities, while the
new building will also be ready In a short
time. Within the next few months eighty

There is no thought on the part
of the proprietor of the FULTON
COUNTY NEWS to discontinue its
ublicatiOn, or to consolidate it
with any other paper. That the
NEWS in less than two years has
risen TO the front rank of news
paper enterprises in Fulton coun-
ty, and has received such hearty
support from the whole people, is
source of no small qualification
to it's founder.
1t has a field that is distinctive
ly It's own, and does not neces-
sarily conflict with the mission
or success of either of the other
papers.
Every family in the county
ought to have the FULTON CoUN-

enough in the welfare of his po.
litical parry to be a subscriber of

is this true since the expense of
two papers now is but a trifle

CLIFFORD GRISSINGER.
Sudden Death While Playing Ba


Sudden Death While Playing Ball.
Thesudden deathlast Thursday
evening, of Clifford Grissinger,
ten year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel l.. Grissinger of this place,
produced quite a shock.
The circumstances surround
ing the case were about as fol-
lows.
Several small boys were at play
with a ball on the street in front
of the Grissinger residence. Cliff
ford and his little brother Dannie
came and joined, and Clifford pro
posed that he would take the bat.
This was satisfactory, and he
took the bat. James McQuade an
older boy took the position of
pitcher, and Harry Comerer was
to be catcher. The boys were
having fine sport, when one of the
balls, light overthrow, hit Cliff
ford in the pit of the stomach.
He turned aud smiled, and after
a few moments dropped the bat
and started toward the porch of
his fathers residence. He had
proceeded but a few feet when he
sank to the ground. The other
boys came to him at once, and his
brother Dannie tried to get him
up By this time Clifford's faith
er, who happened to be near, see
ing that something was wrong
with his boy, ran to him. picked
him up and carried him into the
house. Dr.. Mosser was at once
called, but his assistance was not
needed for the boy had in all
probability, expired when he sank
to the ground on the street.
lnterment took place on Sun
day morning in Uuion Cemetery.
While the Grissinger family
have the profoundest sympathy
for the loss of little Clifford, sym
pathy for the McQuade family is
no less sincere. Jimmy McQuade
who threw the ball and who by
the way is one of the best boys in
town, is nearly frantic with grief
over the thought that he was the
cause of the death of one of his
playmates; and Jimmy's mother
was nearly distracted for several
days.
The boys death is the result of
an accident, and no one feels that
any blame is attached to the one
who threw the ball.
Some five or six years ago, as
Clifford's father was sitting in his
home one day, he heard an unusu-
al commotion on the street, aAd
rushed to the door just in time to
see a runaway team dash over his
boy Clifford. One wheel of the
wagon, which was empty, passed
over Clifford's arm and body.
His father snatched the boy from
the danger, and carried him into
the house. Since that time, while
an unusually bright boy in school,
he was quite hard of hearing and
very nervous. Hence, it is very
probable, that his physical condi-
tion was such that he was not
able to withstand a shock that
most other boys would not have
minded.

TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOLS.
Circular Letter Sent to County
superintendent by DR..
Schaeffer.

OupeI IluueuueUb Dl GuDllC IN
struction Schaeffer has sent ou-
to county school superintendent
a circular letter calling their at
tention to the act passed by the
recent Legislature appropriatine
$50, 900 for the purpose of estab
fishing township high schools
In addition to this special appro
priation each township is entitled
to about $50 for each teacher reg.
ularly employed in such township
high schools. In commenting
upon the requirements of the
township high school act DR.
Schaeffer says;
GA high school which can en-
ploy but one teacher should not
attempt more than the first two
years of the course and should be
content to rank as high school
Of the third class until it's teach.
ing force and other facilities can
be increased. BY giving five half
hour periods to recitations by
each class in a high school of the
third grade, the teacher will still
have an hour at his disposal for
recesses, reviews, music and
other exercises not specified in
the foregoing curriculum. Thus
time can be found for instruction
in physiology and hygiene or in
any other branch required by
local needs. fit is deemed advis-
able, the recitation periods can
oe heightened by reducing the
weekly number of recitations in
mathematics or history or science
from five to four. Evolutionary
exercises can be given in connec-
tion with the study of the English
classics. The nature and forma-
ton Of soils can be taught in con-
nection with physical geography.
If one of the more difficult Of the
recent textbooks on physical
geography is adopted, it may be
wise to pospone this study to the
last year of the high school and
to begin with the elements of one
of the other sciences. Any science
may be studied in two ways, in
it's elements, making it suitable
discipline for pupils in secondary
schools, and by the advanced
methods of the college and uni
versity, making the subject too
difficult for the high school. A
good teacher can begin with any
science and communicate knowl-
edge which will serve as proper
mental aliment for the first year
in a high school.
"For the vast majority of those
who attend rural schools the
high school will be a finishing
school. The high school must
not ignore their needs or neglect
their preparation for subsequent
life. On the other hand, many of
the best students at our colleges
and universities come from rural
schools. On the farm there is
nothing 50 valuable as mind.
The farmers sons and daughters
should have an opportunity to
make the most of the talents by
which they have been endowed.
Hence it would be a fatal policy to
exclude from the township high
school the studies which help TO
fit for admission into colleges and
professional schools. In so far
as the resources of a high school
permit, the studies of specially
gifted pupils should be so shaped
as to fit them for the institution
of higher learning which they de
sire TO enter. In some cases it
is wise to substitute a modern
language for Latin"
