AS have already said, cannot

advocate the requests of the District
Boards of Trustees, touching the
levies for the incoming school ses-
sion. Heretofore | had been repre-
sented, in such matter, by proxy I
had been induced to believe this Board

the extent Of objection and opposition to
increased levies; as all Of the Districts.

levy. had not the temerity to relate 10

equipped for their duties, easier to ap-
proach, more ready to listen to or more
willing to heed proper demands or claims

present complexion Their method Of
procedure appeared very methodical,
appropriate and business-like. | wish
to thank them for the courtesy and kind
ness shown me on the occasion here re-

If any, will not rest on the Supervisors.

The above from our popular County
School superintendent explains itseli.
The one district which failed to ask for
an increased school levy was. we believe
our own Battletown District. A. the
COURIER has stated heretofore. the
Teachersin this District are inadequairlv
paid More none must be epsid in order
TO secure and hold iht class of teachers
wanted in The Berryville High school
and the other schools Of the district.
IL does not. TO our mind. make the
slightest diiferance what kind OF pap
is dealt out by the Battletown school
Board, as the fact remains that so
long as present salaries are maintained
there Will be no great Improvement in
the schools of the Town or District.
The fac,s which we know have been laid
before superintendent OF Instruction
Eggleston, aud we hope in the very
near future to see him come here and
give the dry bones" the shaking which
they have needed for a long time lie
has promised TO come. Just as soon as
possible. Seped the day, - EDIroR

the harness while driving to Sun

carriage containing Mrs. II. l..
