THE SCHOOL BOARD
TO MEET TONIGHT
Called Session to Discuss School
Book Question.
Reported That the Board Will Be
Stopped by Injunction, II II Is
Not Careful.
TEACHERS TO BE ASSIGNED.

The board Of education will hold q
called meeting this evening TO finish
assigning teachers TO the schools they
are 10 teach the coming session, to act
on the committee on course Of Studies
report relative to school books. and TO
take some action towards relieving the
crowded conditions in the Mechanics.
burg and Rowlandtown congested
school districts.
IL is very probable. from reports,
that the board will decline to ratify
the sotion Of the committee relative to
books Louisville, after talking about
lighting the school book law, finally
abandoned il, and Lexington, which
put the idea into the head Of the local
hoard, has never taken any steps
towards making q fight. indicating
that there are M legal grounds for q
legal contest.
IL IL understood that IL the board OF
education attempts 90 retain the old
books instead Of those furnished under
the new state law, tha book trust will
tile an injunction suit The trouble,
expense and confusion this would en-
tail can we'll be imagined, Sad II might
be months before the schools regsined
their normal condition.
IL is generally admitted that law
that leaves 20 the county judge,
county attorney and county school
superinte pdent, the selection Of books
for the city schools 10 very bad one
and the schools In some counties are
likely 10 suffer from 1t. Many, how
ever. claim that the law is oonstitu-
'ional and will stand.
The teachers have been in part al
ready assigned to their rooms for the
year. bnt the assignments are not
made public, and will not be until en-
tirely finished.
The board Is likely unable 10 build
additional schools in Rowlandtown
and Mechaniosburg this year, but
possibly will make provision for
temporary relief, and try to erect the
new buildings before next years
terms.
The extension Of sanitary sewerage
TO the new school building will prob.
ably not be made this year. City En-
gineer Washington, with the con-
tractors estimates, storm water pro-
files aud other work he has. on hand,
has been unable yet to reach the sewer
ertention pronles, and for that reason
when all preliminsries are complete,
tho city officials will probably claim
tits too late TO do anything,
Governor Beokham has issued a
proclamation fixing September | as
the date ON and after which all public
schools in the state not having exist
ing contracts for books shall use the
list of books adopted for five years by
the state school book commission.

A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured BY cal-eura Solvent, the Great Nsw
Medicine, After Other Treatment Mad Failed.
Your Money Back n u D0ss Mel, Cure.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of silvara, Pa. i,
formerly of Roxbury, N. Y, writing TO DR..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, said:
"Your neso medicine, Calcura Solvent,
Is wonderful. 1t cured me of liver and hid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after lot Of
weary dosing with things that did no good.
It is record breaker and NO mistake"
As in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, COM
pEcated with kidney and liver trouble.
Il is because Cal-eura Solvent acts ON the
kidneys and liver and at the same time e.
pels uric acid from the blood, that it is such
Q reliable remedy for rheumatism and the
attendant disorders. It cures by removing
the cause, therefore the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.
If your druggist does not have CaLcura
Solvent, write to. the Csl-cura Company,
Rondout, NY; but ask your druggist first.

The Calcium Company viii pay the drug
gist. Remember, Cal-eura Solvent cures

Liver disorders.

baton of the town, by vote at spec
ial town meeting, discontinued q
highway known as the Breakneck
road, leading from the state line near

tiers along the line are mostly non

dence at the hearing in favor of re-
opening the road. Residents of South

Union testified as to the convenience
of the highway, while witnesses from
Union, Stafford and Sturbridge were
of the opinion that it should remain
closed The committee will hear ar
guments this week and report to the
