Ushers dressed like dancing masters led ate
comers to their places and the air was filed
with the rustic OF programmes, women's
shrill voices and the sharp ejaculatory cries
Of children. Now what was going to happen,

 It is said that not alone will Mont gonery show mp short on children of school age. but that other cities and counties will fall under the basis as it was fixed two years ago. The com ciusion to be drawn from the new sys- tenn is that if all communities have been honest the per capita will be greater and no money win be lost in the jugg1e of figures.
