How, selling potatoes?' I inquired.
Grating" he went on; ''just graft
ing"
Taking me to the front door. he
pointed out rickety old peddler's
wagon, loaded with choice potatoes,
and drawn by bony old horse with
a piayed-out harness. There was
colored boy on the front seat.
That's my layout; what do you
think of it?" he said.
But" 1 asked, chow can you do
any grating in the potato business?"
Reaching in his pockets, he produced
several pairs of spectacles, and pre-
Ceeded to explain his system of graft.
The colored boy drove the old horse,
while he made house to house calls:
always among the middle and lower
classes of people.
EIe would rap at the rear door, and
there the lady of the house would find
him with both hands full of those very
choice potatoes. He would offer to sell
her a peck or half bushel at One-half
or two thirds the regular market price.
AS this class of women are invaria
bly, looking for bargains, he had no
trouble in persuading them to make
purchases. This much accomplished,
he had gained at least one point, and
often two In the first place he had
broken the ice, and in many instances
he had an opportunity to size up the
woman's financial standing. Should
he have occasion to change a five or
even a two-dollar bill, the prospects
were good.

EDITOR OF News. Sometime since
meetings. labeled Farmers Meet
ings" we're held in various parts of
this county. The meetings were
as true to name, as to label butter
inc creamery butter. Their
obvious object was to so form public
sentiment as to bring pressure to
bear upon the county board to es-
tablish a county training school for
teachers in this county.
The County Superintendent in in
Producing State Inspector Wood at
Sandusky admitted that the normal
school, so far as applied to the COM
mon school, had entirely failed of
it's mission, and that the concen-
tration of schools would be i'm
practicable in this county, but
claimed that a county training
school would meet the acknowledged
Deficiencies in the common school.
State Inspector Wood gave good
talk on the subject of his address
from his view point, but before the
close of his address words were used,
which implied that his position on
the question was rather tentative
than fixed, and he was sent out to
labor in a cause to which his judg-
ment was not fully committed.
At the close of the address, when
questions were being asked for the
purpose of calling out the reasons
why we should pay for three lines
of work in the way of training
teachers, the inspector either in
tentionally or otherwise occupied
so much time, in the general platl-
tudes. as to care of school grounds,
ETC., ETC., with which nobody could
find objection, that the gist OF the
questioning could not be brought
out.
AS the question of a county train
ing school will be presented to the
county board at its next session,
this article is to present to the
members of that board some things
for their consideration in connection
with what was said by the state in
spector at his meetings in this.
county.
This brings us to the question,
Whv should we carry on three lines
of work in the training of teachers ?
We have the normal school, seven
