4tth AG.ltt5.
The cir4 et " atertomR is having
a serious t,nte in trying 10 clean W
tue sraftiug ot e~ert,in memhets OF
Che school IN relation 10 the hiring
OF teachers Tor The public schools
II is charged that certain members
of The school have made 1t possible
TO arrange With a teachers agency
to employ none but those enrolled
on the agency's list, and as Il result
the members OF the board receive
i certain portion of the teachers
salary
In an extended article sem out
from Watertown the system of the
alleged graft OF the book concerns
OF the country in connection with
the hiring of teachers in public
schools is made clear and also what
connection it has had with Mater
towns schools, TO make the case
look a little less severe the Mater
town correspondent rings in Mitch
ell and Aberdeen, as possible places
where the agencies are also at work.
Watertown will have to bear its
unpleasantness alone, for Aberdeen
l9ims the first faint of graft in
lection with the hiring of its
teachers in connection with any
agency.
In conversation with Superintend-
ent Hoff, of the city schools, he de-
clared in positive terms hal Mitch
Ills schools We're absolutely free
from any charge of the kind. There
is not a teacher, so far as the SUI
perintendent knows, who is a mem
Der OF amy teachers agency, and he
also stated as positively that no
teacher is ever hired by the board
of education because of her connec-
ton with an agency-the question is
never brought up. Prof. Hoff stated
that he had received several letters
from agencies asking for the priv
ilege of placing candidates for po-
sitions before the board of education
for their consideration in case there
was to be any change in the teaching
force the next year. The superin-
tendent said, however, that he used
a different method of getting in
formation about the teachers to be
employed rather than to depend up
on the agency's recommendations.
Concerning the attitude of the
book concerns in the %endeavor to
gain a foundation for placing their
books in the schools, the superin-
tendent said that they had never
made any great inroad ON the public
schools of this city. AS an illustra-
ton, in the high school the books of
six different companies are used by
the scholars, while in the grades the
same number of supplementary
books ale used. No one company
has an exclusive privilege of fur
nishing books in the high school or
grades. The company is not taken
into consideration in the Mitchell
schools in the purchase of books as
the book itself.
Superintendent Hoff felt indignant
at the reflection which was cast on
the Mitchell schools by the Water
town correspondent, and it would
appear as if he wanted to ring in
other prominent cities to make it
show OF the face that other towns
were equally as bad.

A sandbag as a warmer is said to

A Sandbag as a warmer is said to
be greatly superior to a hot-water
bottle, which many people prize so
highly. Get some clean, fine sand;
dry it thoroughly; make a bag about
eight inches square of flannel, fill it
with the dry sand, sew the opening
carefully together, and cover the bag
with cotton or linen cloth. This will
prevent the sand from Sitting out,
and also enable any one to heat the
bag quickly by placing it in an over
or on top of a stove. The sand holds
the heat for a long time.

Melt one and one-half tablespoons
butter, add II tablespoon flour, and
pour on gradually, while stirring
constantly, Il cup milk. Season
with one-half teaspoon salt and one-
eighth teaspoon pepper. Separate
the yolks from the whites of three
h~ard-boiled eggs. Chop whites finely

Southern Scrambled Eggs
Melt two tablespoons of butter,
add a bit of onion and cook a few
moments. Then add one cup of to-
matoes and season with salt and a
dash of red pepper or paprika, al
lowing the whole to cook for five or
