The railroads say that they can
not afford to haul people at two
cents a mile. Perhaps they Will
find out that two cents mile will
bring them more money than
when poor people pay at the rate
of three cents and the rich ride

COUNTY SUPERlNTENDENTS
Al Their Annual Convention at Harris
burg, Passed Resolution to Ask
Next Legislature
TO REPEAL THE VACCINATION LAW.

At their annual convention in
Harrisburg on the 9Th inst, the
county superin,endents of this
state expressed themselves in un.
mistakable terms on the vaccina-
tion law, and the practice OF
school boards allowing book agents
to dictate what books shall be us
ed aud when changes shall be
made.
When Superintendent Dell,
Huntingdon, chairman of the res.
olutlons committee, presented the
following resolution, it went
through without opposition
Resolved, That the vacclna.
tion law has allenated the feelings
between the teachers and the par
ents with the result that many
children have been kept away
from school and deprived of the
privilege of gaming an education.
SIN order to relieve this condl-
ton IN the rural schools this COM
mittee recommends that the
teachers be relieved from enforc-
ing the law and that the state
Legislature and the superinten,
dent of public instruction, DR..
Schaelfer, be asked to endorse
this measure.
The committee also recon-
mended legislation to provide an
additional fifty dollars year for
each district where the MINIMUM
tax rate is not sufficient to sup
port the schools, and that DR..
Schaeffer be asked to outline a
uniform course of study for rural
schools.
Superintendent Moore, Ches-
ter county, told the convention
that he regretted that Superin.
tendent Grim, Mort hampton, who
made an address yesterday, on
"How to Select Text Books, had
been forced by the lack of time
to only give the first part of his
address, which Mr.. Moore char
acterlzed as TRADE against the
dishonest school official and the
unscrupulous book agent. He
declared that all of the country
schools were not burdened with
too many books and said in part :
SIN my county W. have an ex
cellent system for securing text
books and we secure the best res
ults. When our county needs
new books the directors call a con
sultation with the teachers and
together they go over and select
the needed books. The reason
that this plan has proved such a
success is that we do not allow
the different book agents to ex
plain the merits of the books to
us and are therefore able to select

MRS. CUTLER, DEAD.
Mrs. Peter Cutler Dies at Her Home Near

Mrs. Adaline Peck Cutler, wife
OF Peter Cutler, died at her home

Mrs. Cutler was daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Denton Peck, of
Thompson township, and was well

1879. They moved to Cam bria
county about 1901.
Mrs. Cutler had a severe attack
of measles about three years ago,
which left their loathsome dregs
in the system; and while her i'm.

an. When questioned about her
condition she invariably remark
ed "I'll be better soon." But
when the Angel of Death seemed
hoveriug so near, she gave loving
good-byes to her husban and
dear children, commencing them
to the care Of Him who doeth all
things vol, and in her last breath
seemingly would say:
Rise my soul and stretch thy wings.
Thy better portion trace.
Rise from transitory things
Toward Heaven thy native place"
A tender, affectlonate wife, a
kind, loving, conscientious moth
er, she did all in her power to
make her home happy and pleas
ant, showing her love for the Mas
ter by the meekness with which
she bore her cross.
Her remains were inferred in
the cemetery at Mt. Carmel IN
the presence of large mum Der of
people, among which were to be
seen the faces of many former
residents of Fulton, her old home
all being evidence that she had
made many new friends in her
home in Cam bria, and had lost
none of the old. The funeral SER

B. Kern of the U. B church.
Besides her husband, sheleaves
