How Scissors Are Made.

How SCISSORS Are MADE.
Though no complexities are involved
In the making of scissors or much skill
required, yet the process Of manufac-
ture is very interesting. They are
forged from good bar steel heated to
redness, each blade being cut of with
sufficient 1Aetal to form the shank, or
that desti0ed to become the cutting
part, and bow, or that which later on
is fashioned into the holding portion.
For the bow a small hole is punched,
and this is afterward expanded to the
required size by hammering it on n
conical anvil, after which both shank
and bow are fled into a more perfect
shape and the hole bored in the middle
for the rivet. The blades are next
ground and the handles filed smooth
and FURNISHED with Oil and emery,
after which the pairs are fitted to-
gether and tested as to their easy
working.
They are not yet finished, however
they have to undergo hardening and
tempering and be again adjusted, after
which they are finally put together
again and polished for the third time
In comparing the edges OF knives and
scissors it will be noticed, of course
that the latter are not In any way q
sharply ground as the former, and tha
In cutting scissors crush and bruis,
more than knives.

To school Officers and Patrons

For the last five years the
county has been using school
books bought from depositors of
the county. The county paid for
the books and had control of
them. 1t was considerable an
noyance and some loss to the
county, and the commissioners
have not seen fit to name the
depositors for the coming FIVE
years. Their recommendation
at their June meeting in con-
nection with the board of educa-
ton was that the districts adopt
the free book system. If all
districts do this there will be no
need for the depositors.
We are very rapidly approach
ing the time when the schools
are to open, aud the pupils will
nearly all need some new books.
| view with concern and almost
alarm the fact that books cannot
be purchased in the county. l
am sure l cannot foretell what
the teacher is to do with from
ten to forty children all more or
less in need of books and none to
be had.
The very best solution for the
matter is the adoption of free
books by every district. This is
not compulsory but it is highly
essential for the interests of the
schools this fall and year. Forty
of the schools are now provided
with the free books. In the
districts where such provision
has not been made, it is due
largely to Indifference on the part
of the officers and patrons, as
they are too busy with their own
affairs to attend to the public
matters. l hope every one hav-
ing children to send to school
will take a hand in this matter
and see that the free book system
is pushed to a successful issue
i'm mediately.
The system has given uni
versal satisfaction wherever
tried, is cheaper by far, makes
the schools far better, and when
all is said there is only one side
to the proposition and that is the
side of free books.
May there not be an awakened
interest IN the matter now as so
much for the opening of school
depends on it?
Yours for free books, reduced
cost, and better schools,
M. NJ. RAMER,
Co. Supt. Schools.
