NJ 'KINLEY SCHOOL
IN BAD LOCATION

The board of education at the
meeting yesterday occupied most of
the time with Mckinley school mat
ters. This district, before its an
pexation, was No. SO, and the board
authorized the county treasurer to
call in all the outstanding warrants
of district No. 93 and issue therefor
warrants of district No. 10. These
warrants, with the accrued interest,
amount to about $500. The old
warrants bear 10 per cent interest
and the rate on the new ones will be
B per cent.
The school will be thoroughly
cleaned and repaired and new desks
will be put In. The building will ul-
timately have to be moved, as the
present site is an unhealthful one
on account of the nearby marshes.
E. X. Barnard, principal of the
Mckinley school, and H. H. Garrett
son, principal of the Sheridan school,
will exchange position for the COM
ing school year.
The following assignments of
teachers were reported to the board:

England away from it's Republican
moorings. For example, the cotton
mills have to compete with the South

the hours of labor are restricted by
legislation. In the South they are not.
The Southern mills have cotton at
their doors and pay low wages. The
Massachusetts mills pay freight
charges on their cotton and higher
wages to their hands. The Massachu-
sets mills can only live by making
finer goods. But for that they need
the long staple Egyptian cotton on
which they have to pay duty. There
were glass-works on Cape Cod; they
used wood for fuel until the wood was
gone. Then cheap Dominion coal
would have helped them. But there is
g. duty on coal, and the glass -manufac-
turing business has moved to Pittsburg
where coal is handy. If Pennsylvania
and the coal roads are strong enough
to maintain the duty on coal, New
England will eventually rebel She
