Owing to an extra amount of
advertising matter and the press
of other business, The News is
unable to publish the Prospectus

It is one of the best propositions
for the good of this section that
has ever been spoken of here, as
all who read their charter will
see.
The new, rule of the. graded
school having the pupils in the
second and third grade to finish
their work and go home at one
O'Clock; and the chart and first
grade to come at one, relieves
the room of the large number at
one time, giving the teacher a
better opportunity to instruct
the little fellows, who get too
tired for an all day stay, and it
will be found to work to the best
advantage.
