and the two hauled onto the wharf.
Pitman pulled Spicer and the woman

A GOOD MOVEMENT.
The Project to Organize a County
Union of District Boards
of Education.

The initial movement to organize
County Union of the District Boards
of Education of Logan county, was
i good beginning. At the meeting
last week, eleven townships were
represented, some delegates having
their expenses paid. The meeting ad-
journed till Thursday, June IL. when
a complete organization will be eff
fected, and plans for work suggested
and adopted.
This is not a move to oppose the
payment of good wages to teachers,
but is to better the schools, secure
better teachers, and promote the
payment of uniform prices to teach
ers, for like service.
The proof that the movement was
not originated for the purpose of op-
posing higher wages to teachers is
found in the fact that it originated
in Union township which pays it's
teachers an average of wages, equal
led by few townships in the county,
$3.50.
District Boards of Education act
independently of each other, without
any common standard of pay or
qualifications of teachers, and some
boards lack experience and the
knowledge necessary to make eff
cient officers. By organizing a coun-
| ty union, the member of the boards
Throughout the county will be
brought together. and they can dis
cuss and agree upon proper lines OF
action, and can find out what teach.
ers are qualified and successful, and
will thus be enabled to look after the
best interests af their schools. The
movement contains a possibility OF
much good.

The oil is a heavy dark green, and
not very offensive for crude oil. Mr.
