weight-39 ounces and 5 dwts. TO
add to 1t the Cullinan diamond would
increase the weight by about three
quarters of pound avoirdupois,
which. 1t is estimated. is what the
jewel would weigh after it is cut. The

We claim for the system that we
would inaugurate, that it is founded
upon justice to all and can be es-
iablished and maintained without
the erection OF single school
building for scholastic purposes in
the entire state (barring rare ex-
ceptons), and can be operated at
II great saving over the present
method, and above all it is infini-
telv better from every standpoint.
There are a few self-evident
facts that must be borne in mind.
First, cur educational system is
purely and wholly a state institu-
tion. Second, education is not a
commodity that can be sold by
enc community to another. Third,

would constitute two distinct divi-

electric lines would constitute d-
vision termed B. The former divi-
sion is rnpidly increasing in size,
the other decreasing in like amount.
The division A containing cities,
towns. villages. hamlets and coun-
fry would form one panoramic
