E are on the eve of great and important changes
in our educational methods, especially those
which apply to the education of the pupils in
our rural communities. The farmers boy is
awaking to the thought that, unless he takes adj
vantage Of Il FEAST a good high school education,
he will be sadly handicapped in the race of life.
AS a worthy contribution to this idea the
farmers Of Michigan last year sent I7.772 of their
sons and daughters as nonresident pupils to
neighboring high schools. For the privilege of
crossing the boundary line between their own
district and that of the high school they paid in
nonresident tuition fees $S7y84o. Besides this
amount they paid at least on an average of $50

It was Monday, and the fireworks, which were then set off in front of the city hall in celebration of the glorious Fourth, had been kept over from Sat urday.

The EIor1n.


 The fiorin, one of the most famous of modern coins. originated in Florence. Som6 say that 1t gave the name to the city, wbile others assert that it was first so called because it had on it a fower-de-luce, from the Italian fiorone, or flower" for the same reason that an English silver piece is called "crown." or certain goldpieces in France indifferently napoleon or "louis," or the ten dollar goldpiece in America an "eagle."
 Two countries, Austria and Holland, have retained the forin as a unit of monetary value, taking 1t at time when it was very universal in Europe, its usage having been rendered general by the financial supremacy of the little states of northern Italy and the imper- feet coinage system of the other coun- tries of the continent.
