most important action taken last night

1t is commendable to have patrons
take sufficient interest in school
to visit thus, thereby enabling
themselves to know what is done
and to render aid when possible,
perhaps in nothing more than
to encourage and to show good
will. Do not let the teacher and
school severely alone if you are
interested. You say you have
confidence in the teacher-well
thank you; but we as we'll as our
pupils are encouraged by your
presence which is far more i'm

A rumor has been started by
reason of the Commissioners hold
ing back a part of EX-Treas.
Wards salary that the county
has over paid her treasurers
from the beginning. There are
two ways of looking at the law
and we think the construction
put on it hitherto to be the cor
rect one and that the money is
due Mr.. Ward as he claimed.
AS we understand the case no
opinion from any attorney was
obtained before the cut was made
and it seems to us that the action
taken was ill-advised, considering
the many boards of commission
ers who have regularly taken the
other view of the matter in the
past. The board of auditors ap-
pointed by the district judge
have nothing to do with it. The
discussion arises over whether
the County General School Tax
is a county tax or a school tax.
Even if the treasurers have been
overpaid, the county school funo
has not lost one cent. Officers
are paid out of the ordinary coun.
ty revenue fund.

blow at the school book trust in
the bill introduced by him this
morning which provides that the
text books in all grades below
the eighth grade shall be the same
for all schools in the state. 1t
provides for a committee consist
ing of the state superintendent OF
public instruction, the superin-
tendent of the State Normal
school aud the presidents of the
thirteen normal Institutes of the
state to select the text hooks for
all the schools and to advertise
for bids.
When the selection has been
