were to be held to. strict military ac-
countability for their conduct, their ef-
ficiency and their men, and: in turn.
they saw also that for that week at
least the rank and file must be treated
as soldiers.
The men did not hke-i IL at first.
That was natural. Looking forward as
they had been doing to being almost as
free as they had been at home. when
they found that they could not leave
camp without permission, or have. all
the wild fun to which they were in
some. There was some muttering and
some expressed desires to go back
home. But this did not go. The OFF,
GERS in command would permit moth
ing of the kind, and instead of finding
mere holiday outing, the soldier boys
found little else than hard work-hard-
er work in fact than that to-. which
regulars are ordinarily subjected, and
the idea Of fun slowly and surely melt
| ed away. 80 ~
But after 1t was all over 1t cannot
be said that the experience has been
disagreeable. After day or two, most
of the boys entered heartily into the
real spirit Of the situation, and they
began to appreciate the same. They
came to realize that the strict discip-
line and the busy routine meant some
thing important and, most Of, them ac-
cepted the situation with philoso-
phical determination to make the most
Of it. ~
AS the result, it is fair, to- say that
the experience has been both pleasant
and profitable. There was lets of hard
drilling and marching done. Every
man Of the company Bet himself to
learn exactly what was required Of
him, from military standpoint and
before the end Of the week they had
become quite creditable soldiers.
There is no doubt about the fact
that the encampment has been q good
thing for officers and men, and al
though at first there was reason to pre-
dict that the experience. of the first few
days was. enough for most of:them,
when they. all got. back to Yorkyille,
they were looking at the whole thing
from an entirely different standpoint,
and now 1t seems safe to promise that
when the time for, the next encamp-
ment comes round, most of the boys
will be on hand ready and willing for
just such another experience.

and became quite proud Of the distinc-

on to the military spirit that was In
fused by the regular army officer, and
believe we got more benefit than
from any six months drilling that we
have done. There was no rowdyism,
no insurbordination. and no drunken
ness. The behavior Of the company
was just all that could have been de-
sired I have always thought a great
deal Of this company and now I am
prouder of it than ever"

vExED SCHOOL CONTROVERSY.

The county board Of education held
court in Yorkville last Friday for the
purpose of considering certain new is
sues that had been raised in the long
standing 'Guthriesville school contro-
versy, and arrived at conclusions
which promise at least temporary re-
lief to the situation.
Just what the real merits Of the con-
troversy are cannot be statedwit n alb
solute exactness for the reason that 1t
is practically impossible to arrive ut
An agreed state Of facts. There has
been an aggravated issue In Bethes-
da No. 6, however, for several years,
and In one shape or another the quar-
rel has several times been before the
county board of education. The loca-
Etion Of the school seems to have been
1.-THE principal bone of contention. One
faction is in favor Of Guthriesville and
/ the other insists upon Bethesda church.
THE Bethesda church faction objects
to the Guthriesville location because 1t
/ is too close to the McConnellsville dis
trict line, and because the public
school building that Is In use at the
church is nearer the centre Of the dis
trict. The Guthriesville faction insists
upon the location Of the school at the
village because they claim 1t Is nearer
the centre Of population and because 1t
is more easily reached by a large per
centage Of the pupils.
1t having previously been developed
beyond question that: there was no
probability Of an agreement IN the
matter Of location, the Guthriesvtl)e
faction came forward last Friday with
a petition for the enlargement of dis
trict No. by adding to its western
side q strip from No. 13 and to its
northern side strip from No. 33. The
petition further prayed for the estab-
lishment Of two white schools, one to
be located at Guthriesville and the
other at Bethesda and that the funds
of the district be divided between them
on the usual basis Of enrolment.
After hearing argument for and
against the various propositions, the
board considered the whole matter at
length and with care. There was much
difference of opinion as to what was
best to be done, and there was not a
unanimous vote on any Of the various
questions presented. 1t was at length
decided however, that the desired strip
from district No. 13 be added, while
the boundaries of No. S3 should not be
changed. Also, until the controversy can
be definitely settled, is was agreed that
two white schools be conducted In the
district, one at Guthriesville and the
other at Bethesda and that the district
funds be divided between them on a
basis of enrolment. AS to whether
this disposition will finally settle the
pending controversy remains for flu
ture developments.

TiRZAH SCHOOL TANGLE.

The affairs Of Tirzah school district
are In an embarrassing tangle as a re-
suit of the failure Of the people most
directly interested to watch up the re-
Quirements Of the law applying 20
their especial case, and just what the
outcome Is to be remains for future
developments.
Tirzah school district was created
by special act Of the general assem-
bly, in 1890. The act commissioned
seven trustees and provided for the
election Of their successors every two
years. In 1894 this act was amended
so as to provide for only three trus-
tees, but there was no change as to the
manner Of their selection, nor as to
the manner of levying a special tax
which, it was provided, should also be
on a vote Of the people.
1t seems that after the original des-
ignation of trustees and after voting
the special tax, the situation was III
lowed to rack along from year to year
no steps being taken to comply with
the law as to vacancies in the board
Of trustees or as to new tax levies.
Some weeks ago there developed dis
satisfaction as to the teacher who had
been employed for the coming term
and investigation as to rights and rem
edies developed the tangle in the legal
status of the district. It was easily
agreed that new trustees must be
chosen; but the attorneys who had
been consulted on either side differed
as to the manner Of holding the elec-
ton and as to who should be entitled
to vote, etc. There was also a ques-
ton as to the legality Of continuing the
special tax and the matter was re-
ferred to the attorney general.
The attorney generals reply, which
was addressed to Mr.. r. r. Allison
chairman of the board Of trustees
shows that there has been considera-
BILE effort to unravel the tangle; but os
to whether it clears up the whole sit
uation remains to be seen. q.
holds that there are now no legal
trustees In the district and that suc-
cessors to the last board must be chos-
en- at an election to be ordered by the
county, board of education, and held
under the supervision of managers to
be appointed by that body. The man.
ayers must be regularly qualified voters
and the qualifications for voting are
in all respects the same as in general
elections. After the trustees shall
have been elected in this manner must
be commissioned by the county board
Of education.
AS to what is to be done about the
special tax, the situation is not SO
clear, according to the attorney gener-
ais construction Of the law, an election
for the levy of special tax should
have been held prior to June last, and
It is now too late for the holding OF
such an election this year.
