The marked success which has beer
met by the local board of education
| in the use OF materials purchased
for common use in the lower grades
of the city schools, seems to indi
cate that 1t will be rnatter oi
short time until free text books will
be used in Marion. Last year thu
beard purchased paper for use in the
lower grades largely as an experiment
and the plan was found to be yer,
successful.
During the coming school year
which begins September the board
of education plans TO purchase more
material for the use of the children
and, since the experiment has been
found to be so nicely carried out with
lcssened expense to the school pa
irons. many Of the board members
are in favor of purchasing many ma
terials for the common use. President
W. b. Spaulding, of the board, has
declared himself willing to start the
free text book ball rolling at any
time. The other members of the board
are in favor OF making move in this
direction and have shown their senti-
ments by their votes.
In the use OF writing paper in the
lower grades the plan has worked
admirably and to the entire salts
faction OF the school patrons. While In
the past years much paper has been
wasted by the children the paper is
now cared for by the teacher and a
great saving is thus brought about.
The latest move on the part of the
board in this direction is the pur-
chase of charcoal for use in drawing
classes in the schools. It has been
customary for the children to use the
charcoal for work in drawing and the
material was so wasted by the chill
dren that the rooms were in an un-
tidy condition. The charcoal proved
to be an item of much expense to
patrons OF the schools and Il has been
hit upon by Clerk J. w. Jacoby to
purchase the material by wholesale
thus obtaining a very remarkable
saving. Superintendent p. S. Wilson
will have charge of the charcoal and
this will be distributed during the
eoming year among the various class
es.
Members OF the board Of education
declare that II is but matter of time
until books will gradually be intro
duced and the free text book system
will be in vogue here as well as. in
many other cities where IL has
alreay been formally adopted.

OLD INSCRIPTION
Verse Reads Like Some in
Old Country.
WAS INSCRIBED BY REQUEST
Pioneer Had Quite Peculial
Ideas.
Many Marion People go To an Old
Cemetery Near MarsciIIcs TO See the
Monument Bearing the Strange In
scrlptiOn.

William Beerbowor, of this city
who was formerly a monument deal
er, has discovered tombstone locat-
ed in the Marseilles cemetery. I'm
Nyandott county. which is now ex-
citing the attention of many Marion
people. When 1t comes to arousing .
Curiosity the moving rall on the Mer-
chant monument at tie local GEM
etery Is nothing In comparison with
the one Just discovered at Mar
seilles.
The monument rests on the grave
Vi oalnuel simpson, native OF
ireland, who was one of the pioneer
settlers of Wyandott county. The
stone Is covered with inscriptions
and the scores who have examined
1t. have been unable to translate all
or the letters. At the head of the
stone Is the inscription that the de-
ceased died. on August 26th, 1860.
and was aged eighty-one years, one
month and eleven days. Then comes
the verse which is perhaps one of
the most peculiar in meaning that Is
to be found on any tombstone in
Ohio. The inscription follows:
Here lies the father of twenty,
He raised all but some,
And when he died and left them,
The youngest was twenty-one.
Your mothers have gone and left
you,
"And now l lay by their side,
children, remember that you
must die
"And / hope that you will prepare
TO meet them in the sky"
A number of people from this city
have driven their automobiles TO the
cemetery purposely to examine the
peculiar verse. The inscription is
carved in old English and the letters
are badly faded and a reading glass
Is necessary to make them out.
1t is claimed by the older residents
of this county that Samuel Simpson
requested opon his death bed, that
the above verse be carved on his
tombstone. The grave is set apart
from the others in the cemetery and
the peculiar shaped stone is an OBJ
ject of much distinction.
Mr.. Beerbower made an imprint of
the inscription and has placed 1t with
his collection of curios He declares
that In all OF his experience he has
never seen an inscription more un-
usual.

At the closing session of the Ma
rion County Teachers institute Fri
day afternoon A. b. Jones, of Pros
rect. was reelected president of the
loint city and county institute as
sociations. Superintendent Carlyle, OF
Green Camp was reelected vice presi-
dent and Miss Ferne Trey secretary.
*. II. Marshall was elected member
OF the executive committee for a
term of three years.
Many important business matters
were considered at the closing session
of the institute and resolutions we're
adopted stating the desire OF the
teachers for two additional normal
schools in Northern Ohio, Resolutions
of appreciation were adopted thank
ing the various persons who assisted
in making the institute successful.
The teachers showed their appreciation
OF the work OF the Teachers Reading
Circle and the work it was accom-
rlishing among the teachers of the
state. The committee on resolutions

Professor Coughlin spoke of, mis-

During the morning Mr. Coughlin
had discussed this subject and the af-
ternoon address was largely con-
tinuation of the thoughts presented
during the morning. He was heard
with much interest by the teachers as
he reviewed the many things which
seemingly are worthless TO the teacher
but which in fact are of much i'm
portance
Professor Henderson spoke upon
the theme, Some Books Not on the
Five Foot Shelf. During the progress
OF his remarks he brought out many
OF the books which deal with vital
subjects which are scarcely ever
found to be on the tables OF the
teacher Many of the works which he
mentioned contain startling informa-
ton and II it were found in the col
umns of some modern magazine IL
would not be looked upon with apy
serious degree of thought. On the
other hand these books are written
after careful thought by able thinkers
and have been subjected for many
years TO cruel criticism and which

spoke OF many of the works on will
and habit, which should be read by
every teacher and in fact every per-

The testimony of half a dozen wit

hours without even the meager pro-
lection of a tug in the vicinity to res
cue the men in case fire should ignite
the oil and explosives.

Quired Is a quantity Of empty snail
shells and veal fat. The fat is clev-

France that the county council of the

should be passed giving the escargot
a closed season, from April Is to July
