State School Notes.

BY Supt. W. C. Darlington.
There will be 500, 240, IS more
state moneys to apportion to the
public schools this year than last.
The Enumeration of children will
be nearly 1000 less. The per
capita this year will be about S1.37
instead of S1.34 last year.
State Superintendent Caring
ton will not be able to make the
apportionment of State school
moneys until about July %, ow-
ing to the fact that several county
clerks are derelict in making re-
port of school enumeration to him.
School districts may safely count
on receiving S1.37 per CAPITA
enumeration. The money will
reach the county treasurer early
in August.
The large decrease in school
population is not confined to a
few localities. There is a decrease
in more than three-fourths of the
counties, mainly in the rural dis
tricts. The following counties
show the largest falling off during
past year: Adair, SOB; Audrain,
424; Bates. 3S5; Cass, 374; Daviess
3O5; Franklin, 1866; Grundy, 354;
Harrison, 3S1; Johnson, 1858; Ma
con, 325; a total in ten counties of
1886.
There is q scarcity of teachers
in nearly every county in the
state, due mainly to low salaries
paid teachers. Nearly every kind
of work pays better than teaching
and the best teachers are seeking
better pay. The next Legislature
should pass a minium salary law.
No teacher should bepaidle less than
$40. per month for eight months.
No district should receive
any of the public moneys unless
it levied 65 per cent on the 500
assessed valuation or maintained

Travels of vesuvius Dust.

The volcanic dust thrown ny
by Nesuvius has been traced in
nearly all the countries of Eu
rope. The latest report ONE
from Holstein. where Prof. Lie
nau, during a high wind from the
south on April ii and 10. collect
ed from his own veranda un.
doubted specimens of yellowish
volcanic ash. Microscopic exam
nation revealed the presence Of
leucite. asegite and magnetic
iron. The presence of leucite
and the complete absence of
quartz, which lies spread over
the whole of northern Germany,
excludes all doubt as to the ORR
gin of the dust.

an 8 months school and paid $40.
per month to the teacher. Any
district not able to support such
school on a Csc levy should have
extra state aid.
There are about 2750 teachers in
the summer terms at six; State
Normal Schools and Teachers
Colleges at Columbia (400) Kinks
vile (500), Warrensburg (700),
Cape Girardeau 1900, Springfield
(560) and Maryville (2S0). A
careful analysis of the work-done
shows that fully 20 per cent of the
energy OF the pupils is in profess
sional and pedagogic work 10 per
cent in academic work of college
grade, and Is per cent in such
special subjects as music, draw
ing, manual training ana physical
culture. All rejoice that so many
take advantage of these oppor-
tunities. Those in attendance are
among the best teachers. There
are thousands who need training
who have not attended a Normal
Training School.
1t is a matter worthy of note that
whatever of increase there has
been in population in Missouri
in past year rs shown by enum-
Grafton of school children
has been confined to a few locali-
ties. ST. Louis and ST. Joseph
show largest gains; next the lead
belts in Jasper and St. Francois
counties. The establishment of
new factories in Springfield, Han
nible, Sedalia, Jefferson City, Cape
G%irardeau and Moberly have in
creased population somewhat in
these centers. The completion OF
the Thebes bridge, the develope-
ment of railroads and the rapid
retaining of the swamp land, &C
count for the increase in and the
building of the White River Rail-
road give several counties in the
Ozarks increased population.

DIFFICULT TO CUT
Agates from Which They Are Carved
Are Exceedingly
Hard. Z

Canoes are cut from the
stones onyx and sardonyX, which
are said to be so plcntiful on the
Uruguay river in Brazil that
ships often carry them away as
ballast. Nevertheless, perfect
pieces Of large size are costly. A
piece suitable for Il large portal
costs about $7j. This stone is
preferred for canoes because OF
its hardness and durability and
is suitable for such work owing
to the fact that it comes in lay
ers of contrasting colors as
black and white. black and
cream, or red and white. When
the cut figure is sunk into the
stone instead of being raised the
cutting is called an intagliO.
The cost of these gems is due
to the time and skill required
in the work. Formerly a small
gem might occupy an artist for
a year or more. but with modern
appliances the work can be done
more rapidly. Still the ancient
work bears the palm for artistic
excellence. The cutting is now
done by holding the stone
against a revolving drill. whose
soft steel face is covered with
diamond dust. No steel is hard
enough to cut the stone. The ut
most patience and caution and
delicate handling are required,
as the slightest slip may spoil
the work.
