III ETrYi
The School Work Done in Un-
organized Townships.
Commissioner Cars Investigation of
Incendiary Fires.
iEJ'TZ
Visitors to the CapitoI-Notes of the
Departments.

The work of the school department IS
increasing, every year, and promises to
be larger than the present force Of
workers can handle. One of the most
interesting lines is the schools of unor-
ganized townships, under the manage
ment of Hon. n. A. Luce of Nassal-
boro. There are about 20 of these
schools and their condition appears to
be most encouraging. The laws OF the
State provide that whenever there are
resident in any unorganiZed township
two or more children between the ages
OF four and twenty-One years the IN
habitants shall pay into the state
treasury II sum equal to % cents per
capita, and the State superintendent
Of schools shall make provision for the
schooling of such children at least ~
weeks per year. Besides the fund
raised by the per capita tax, the inter-
est on funds in the State treasury de-
rived from the public lands of these
townships, and as much as may be
necessary of the annual special State
appropriation, are used in support OF
these schools. The system organized
Under these provisions has been run
ming fer three years, and is bringing
very gratifying results. The number
Of children attending school, as COM
pared with the whole number of school
age, was. last year, II per cent. larger
than for the state at large: the aver
age attendance, as compared with the
number of school age, was IS per cent.
larger. When the peculiar conditions
existing in these townships are con-
sidered. this showing is peculiarly
significant.
Another interesting feature is the
paying of tuition at secondary schools
in the state by townships in which there
is no high school giving a four years
course in such studies sas are taught in
secondary schools of standard grade.
-Fhis provision enables deserving and
ambitious students to attend the best
secondary schools without the expense
Of tuition. and stimulates the interest
of the town in its,young people by Civ

Food and Brafy.A

The advantage OF fasting TO- intel.
ectual work is being exemplified by a
professor of the West Virginia univer.
sity, who will refrain from eating food
for 80 days, during which time he will
daily deliver his customary lectures to
the class of the summer quarter. It is
the professors idea that the less food
there is in the stomach the more blood
can be drawn to the brain, and that its
action should be superior in every way
to that of man who is o'ossed with
food. It will be interesting to watch
the professors lectures daily beeom-
ing more brilliant while his weight de-
creases. One can imagine that the
farther he gets to Infinite wisdom, un.
til, when he arrives at the Goth day OF
his fast, the thinking world will be
simply dazzled by the intellectual out
