TOWNSHIP SCHOOL RALLY.

On Friday last the township
schools held their annual closing ex-
ercises at the town hall and the pro-
gramme as printed in the JOURNAL
was rendered in manner highly
creditable to pupils and teachers.
There was large attendance and the
interest taken gave evidence that the
schools are in much better work
ing condition than eyer before.
Superintendent Lehr has had a
good influence with the schools and
the teachers are taking an unusual
interest in their work. This interest
is shown in the excellent work of the
pupils.
The programme was we'll rendered
and it would be hard to particularize
everybody winning honors teach
ers and pupils alike.
The ride to Walbridge park was
enjoyed in the afternoon and the day
was we'll and profitably spent.

The new code under which the
Schools are now operating makes it
necessary to elect an entire new board
OF Education here as well as else
where at the coming fall election,
and in the future Perrysburg will
haye but fiye members on the board
instead of six as at present. The
present board has taken step in the
right direction by raising the salaries
of the teachers and it is hoped the
next board will go one better and
make another raise until Perrysburg
teachers are paid as high salaries as
are paid in graded schools in any
town of this size in the State. Good
teachers should have good salaries,
and there is nothing too good for
Perysburg schools.

On Wednesday afternoon fire de.
stroyed the barn belonging to William
Budd about one mile south of town.
1t was valuable building and con-
tained large quantity of hay, grain,
implements, buggies and wagons.
His loss is heavy. Sparks blown from
this fire communicated with a straw
stack on Christopher Sieling's place a
quarter of mile distant and bid fair
to cause the destruction of the barn
but by being discovered in time and
the hard work of the family they man
aged to keep the flames down until
the arrival of the fire department. 1t
was a remarkably narrow escape for
the barn and house. William Mills
deserves much credit for the prompt
manner in which he answered the
alarm and summoned his assistants,
who dampened down the straw tstack
and thus saved the property.
Elmo Albert was in town the first
