notice is hereby given to the teach
ers OF the pnblic schools that if

school falls below fifteen, the
teacher having charge of such
school shall close it at the expira-
ton OF any month which fails to
make such average, and report the
fact at once to the district board.
This board will then investigate
the causes which. have led to the
failure to make a legal average,
and unless under. the provisions Of
the law The school can be continu-
ed, will eAose the school for the
session.. The section Of the law
whica will control the action of
the board. in such a case is as fol-
lows:
"ln. cases where the average at.
tendance is reduced by reason of a
TACT ions spirit on the part OF one
or a few persons, or in consequence
OF thu; proper exercise of discipline,
prev alence Of contagious diseases,

"'''e q" .ached his ne me for all
'@1ls Its ramificatiorl ran through
sSF ~ department of political, social
and commercial life in Russia. Its
effects, like those Of are volution. will
not at all disengage themselves for
generations to come. That scheme
comprised the reform Of the I'M
perial Bank, the INTRODUCED Oh Of a
gold standard, and the fixation of
the value Of ruble; the extensive
enjoyment of foreign capital, the
establishment Of an alcohol monop-
oily, the development of savings.
banks, the spred of technical edu-
cation, the emancipation of
peasants, dissenters, and heretics,
as we'll as Jews, from the Calling
network of restrictive legislation.
In a word, it embodies all the
practical corollaries Of the incipi-
ent reforms inaugurated-sby Alex.
ander ii woen he struck the rusty
chains off the limbs of millions of
serfs. 1t is hardly too much to say
that a good deal, perhaps most, OF
what is good or hope giving in the

preservation, or its development to

Little Kanawha-WilI Connect at
Durbin With Chesapeake
s. Ohio.

The Little Kanawha railroad is
exciting about as much specula-
ton and is surrounded with the
same mystery as far as the gener-
al public is concerned as prevails
in reference to the deepwater. The
prime inquiry as to the Little Ka.
nawha road has been as to when
work would be resumed Oh the line
again. 1t is now announced that
the road will positively be built
and definite public announcement
is to be made within u few weeks
clearing up much of the mystery
which has hung about the enter.
prise for the past year and more.
Col. Shoemaker, president Of
the Pittsburg & Lake Erie and his
most expert engineers held long
and important conference with the
Little Kanawha officials at Parkers-
burg this week and left for Durbin
where it is announced they are 60
ing to select a route to connect the
Little Kanawha with the Chesa.
peake and Ohio.
Col. Shoemaker is One Of the
trusted men Of the great Wander
bilt system, in whose hands it APP
gears that the Little Kanawha rail-
road and its holdings haye fallen.
The Pittsburg & Lake Erie, of
which he is president, is a Wander.
bilt road, The Chesapeake & Ohio,
with which it is now proposed to
connect the Little Kanawha road
at Durbin, is also a Vanderbilt
road. Over in Ohio there is the
Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton. 1t
is also a Vanderbilt road and this
is the first time that it has been
mentioned in connection With the
future Of the Little kaHawha line.
But now it comes IN to, play a most
important part in the construction
of the Little Kanawha under the
new deal.
The plan is. and this comes from
high authority, to connect up the
Little Kanawha road at Durbin
with the Chesapeake & Ohio and
to connect it up OIL the west with
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton,
giving a direct route to the lakes
md to the south via Cincinnati for
West virginia coal, and to tide. |
water from it via Durbin and. hhe.
Chesapeake & Ohio. This Isl the.
scheme now, as given by nespon- |
