to show you that Poe also classed
the raven as a bird:
"'Then this ebony bird beguil-

There you have it, gentlemen,

BY the same token, if hen is a
fowl it must also be bird To
deduce further, hens eggs are,

INFLUENCE OF NEWSPAPERS

One of the leading magazines of
the countryside Atlantic Monthly
lis advertising a series of articles
entitled The decline of public con-
fidence in the newspaper press"
That the public has not lost con-
fidence in some newspapers and in
some kinds Of newspapers may be
accepted as matter of course, like
the loss of public confidence in cer-
tain politicians and statesmen and
theories of government. But if
there is a marked decline of public
confidence in newspapers as whole,
that fact is of such far-reaching
public Importance that it deserves
the closest study and investigation.
More newspapers are printed
than ever before. If the public has
lost confidence in newspapers why
does it read them in such vast
numbers? Merely to amuse itself?
Merely to pass away the time?
Merely to acquire information which
it distrusts and upon which it can
place no reliance? The American
people have never impressed us as a
nation of idiots and lunatics. They
must have some definite motive in
reading the newspapers, and the
average American is not the sort of
q person who wastes his time on
things in which he has no confidence
We have observed, too, that the
shrewd, practical gentlemen who
manage the great corporations have
detected no marked decline of public
confidence in newspapers. Their
desire to own newspapers, to in
nuence newspapers, to shape the
policy of newspapers was never s.
keen as it is now. They must -
iieve that the public has conf ,denco U
in what it reads in newsr ,aners oe ~.

RESULT OF SCHOOL EXAMI.
NATIONS

During the past week the pupils
in the different grades of the SAT-
ford public school have been taking
the mid-year examinations.
AS result of these examinations
a more perfect grading of the
school has been secured, something
absolutely needed to keep up the
standard of the school and place
the pupils in their proper grades.
Out of an attendance of nearly
200 pupils in the different grades,
only eleven failed to pass the exam.
nations and were put back in the
next lower grade, this being neces-
sary to maintain the perfect grad
of the school.
Until last year the grading in the
school had not been perfect, and it
fell to the lot of the present corps
of teachers to bring the grades up
to the standard set for properly
graded school. Good work in this
direction was accomplished last
year, and the result this year has
been entirely satisfactory.
The pupils understand that they
must study and prepare themselves
for passing the examinations so as
to keep up with their grade and to
be promoted at the end of the
school term, and the fact that so
few failed at the late examinations
to maintain their grade, is an evil
dence that the work in school this
year has been successful and one of
profit to the pupils, as well as to the
teachers.
