MRS. GREENOUGH DEAD.
Another 0ctogenarian Gone. She Was a
Popular Teacher Sixty Years Ago.
Last Member of Her Family.

Mrs. Elizabeth McKalip Green
ough died near Harrisonville
during the after part of last Fri.
day night, in the SSth year of her
age. Her funeral took place last
Sunday, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. Luther McGar-
vey, of the M. e. church, and her
remains were laid to rest in the
family lot In the little cemetery
at the Greenhill Presbyterian
church.
Notwithstanding the meagre
facilities offered IN the country
schools when she was a little girl,
she early showed fondness for
books, and by close application,
she acquired such an education
as made her services sought as a
teacher as soon as she was old
enough TO manage school, and
fer many years she taught-in
Harrisonvllle, Hustontown, Wells
Valley, up on Broadtop, and many
other places. OF course, she
early identified herself with the
church, and possessing a desire
to learn only that which would be
elevating and enable her to be
more and more useful to her pu-
pills, she read only the best au-
thors, and consequently, In her
later life. her ability to quote the
best thought from all the best
writers, made her a companion
whose conversation was at once
educating and uplifting.
She was the last of large
family, and the only near rela.
tive left is her niece, Mrs. Thos.
5. Metzler, of Harrisonville, and
her nephew. Howard p. Skipper,
of Waynesboro.

NOT ENOUGH FUNDS.
Appropriations For Borough High Schools
Must Be Cut.


The State Department of Pub.
lie Instruction has fixed the ap.
preparation rate for township
High Schools at ninety per cent,
and the rate for borough High
Schools at fifty-six and one fourth
per cent.
This means that IN townships,
High Schools of the first class
will receive $720 from the State
second class, $40 and third class,
$500.
Borough High Schools will re
ceive somewhat more than hall
these amounts, acc 1rding to the
respective classes, schools of the
first class getting $3.50; second
class, 1887. so; third class, 1925.
The maximum amount which
may be appropriated to schools
of the first class either in town.
ships or boroughs, under the
law, is $500; second class, 5000;
third class, $4OO.
The last Legislature appro--
priated S137,50 to township High
Schools and appropriated the
same amount to borough High
Schools; that was the first time a
specific appropriation has been
made to borough High Schools.
The Department of Public In
struction, however, finds that
the appropriations are not sui
ticient to give each school the
maximum sum allowed by law
and the prorata percentage has.
therefore, been fixed IN each
case.
The several High Schools are
now being classified; dlstribu-
ton of the appropriations, will
be started as soon as the classifi.
cations are finished. 1t has been
found by the High School lnspec
tors that some of the schools are
not entitled to position in the
class which they claim and these
differences are being straighten-
ed out.
Schools of the first class, eth
er borough or township, are
those which have bona fide
four-year course above the Gram
mar grade; second class those
with three year course, and
third class those with a two-year
course.
