Last week the corner stone Of a
new high school building to COST
$50, 900 was laid in our neighboring
town Of Marshall. This city's public
school are already equipped with
first class buildings, but the place
is growing and the public school
spirit is strong.

Society cannot afford to palliate
the crime Of official corruption. tt is
to be hoped that San Francisco Will
purge itself thoroughly, Both the
bribe giver and the bride taker should
be punished so severely as to strike
terror and deter from repetition But
society has no right to indulge itself
in any h~ypocritical pharisaism about
this matter. Without Indignation
sometimes with guilty knowledge and
placid t%olerance-it has fostered the
conditions which have made brib
apparently necessary to the
best interests Of the public. Ii is
folly to expect official virtue Without
general public virtue. And public
virtue, to command respect, needs to
be constant and not spasmodic.

A great source Of qualification to
those citizens Of Lexington who ar
interested ia its public schools is the
large number OF teachers who are
spending their summer vacation in a
normal school or university. The
teachers have simply been reelected
to their former position with no 10
crease in salary and undoubtedly after
3 summer Of idleness every teacher
could give increased satisfaction
next year on account Of the experience
gained during the recently closed
term. Yet these people are spending
their money and working diligently
that they may be able better and
more capably to handle their classes
next year. With such teachers as
these, it IS 20 wonder that Lexington
has one of the best systems Of public
schools in the state.

The ice is TO be formed over water. and
not from the ground, as is done at the Har-
ward rink. This method. in the opinion Of
experts, not only makes better ice. but
