School Census.

The reports from the school census
are all in except from the Fourth Dis
trict. The census shows a consider
able falling off in the number OF pu-
pills, due largely it is said, to the IN
accuracies in previous censuses. III
the Seventeenth District this years
report shows a decrease Of 3l4; IN
the Twentieth a loss of 264, and the
greatest loss of all in the Twenty
third where the decrease is 372. The
only gain on the list is quite a large
one in the Ninth District The IN
crease in this district in which the
Tennessee Industrial School is To-
Gated, is S62.
Without the Fourth District the to-
tai scholastic population is 1908,
against 1896 of last year the
Fourth District, which will probably
show little change one way or the
other, had 413 pupils last year. This
would bring the total up to l2,432
against 1929 of last year, or tota
loss of 787 in the country districts
The total of the entire county, in
GLIDING the city, for the year 1906
was 59,5S6. Taking the estimated pop
ulation of the city as $4,000 and the
county as 12,492, the total would. be
54.492, or a gain on the whole o

Committee of City Board Meets
County Board.
MEETING OF COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION RENDERED AN
IMPORTANT DECISION, WHERE
BY THE SCHOOL CHILDREN IN
THE COUNTRY WILL BE
GREATLY BENEFITED If KEPT
IN SCHOOL.

At the meeting of the County Board
of Education on Tuesday, an impor-
tant decision was reached, whereby
the school children in the county will
be greatly benefited, if the parents see
to it that they are kept in school reg
ularly.
A uniform session of eight months
was established by the Board to SUI
persede the old arrangement under
which the length of the term varied
considerably. All of the schools in
the county will run the full eight
months, unless the attendance should
fall off so much that they must neces-
sarily be discontinued. The appoint
ments given out so far show that
one school has been abandoned the
Ridge School in the old Twenty-sec-
ond District.
The salaries as given out show an
increase on the whole, though In
some cases they were lowered. The
tendency of the Board was to lower
somewhat the salaries of principals
in the schools close to the city, and
to raise them on the outskirts of the
county. The salaries of the assistants
in the various schools will remain
about the same, being raised in some
cases and lowered in others. The
tendency, on the whole, however, was
to raise rather than lower salaries.
At the afternoon session Of thu
Board a committee from the Cit!
Board of Education met with then
and a discussion in regard to the SUI
burban school question was held
Nothing definite was done on this mat
ter, as E. E. Barthell, representing tht

HE IS NOW A JUDGE.
Harry Taylor Quit the Diamond for
The Bench,

1t is doubtful whether Judge Harry
l.. Taylor, of the Erie County Court at
Buffalo, ever dreamed when he was u
baseball player and student at Cornell
university Is years ago that at the age
of 40 years he would be dispensing law
ana justice from the bench. Last year
Taylor held the Office of president OF
the Eastern Baseball league, but was
defeated for reelection this fall. Soon
afterward Gov. Higgins appointed him
to the position he now holds.
Judge Taylor Is one of the few players
who dropped professional baseball at
the height OF his fame and with a bril-
liant future before him. He was born
at Halsey valley, Tioga county. n. Y.
His boyhood was passed at Ithaca and
us boy he was the star player of the
corner lots. 1t was always his ambition
to become lawyer. and he became a
professional player to earn the money
TO pursue bis studies.
While at Cornell he played on the col
lege team and his ability secured him
a place on the Elmira team of the New
York state league, where he played In
1883, In the winter he taught School.
In the following year he Joined the
Louisville team of the old American as
ISOLATION. In 1890 the team. under the
championship. Judge Taylor played
there in 1891 and 1892, and In the win
ter studied at the Cornell law school.
During the season or 1898 Taylor and
Hugh Jenninge, now manager of the
| Detroit club. We're secured for the Bal
tlmore team by Ned Hanlon. Taylor
finished his studies at Cornell that year
and announced to Hanlon that he was
through with baseball as n player. Han
lon tried his best to get Taylor to
change his mind, but he stuck TO his de-
cislon. and the following year began
the practise of law In Buffalo.
No man stands higher than Judge
Taylor at Cornell university. Four
years ago he was elected a trustee of
the university, an honor he Justly prizes
very highly.
Taylor is tail man, and In appear
ance and build bears a striking resem-
blance to Abraham Lincoln.

Well what do you think

NOW honest--no pretending,
Does 1t shock you much

Do YOU think it's as nice
AS skating on ice.

When the river in darkness is shrouded?
AT the rink you don't freeze,
Or break In TO your knees
And go home with your shoes full OF

nor sit on the bank,
with the darkness TO thank
While you make love to somebody's
daughter.
Both have their charms
AND both their alarms,
And evil to him who evil supposes.
It's good exercise
But let me advise
That you should begin with moderate
