Public School Notes.

The city schools will open Septem.
ber the 18th and the compulsory at
tendance law should be enforced this
year as we have plenty of room for all
of the pupils of our city between the
ages of s and IS years. The state law
is that all pupils between the above
ages shall attend school at least six
months of the school year or their
parents or guardian is subject to
heavy fine or Imprisonment. This law
has never been enforced in our city
because we have not had room enough
for all of the pupils who would fall in
to this class, but this year that will
not be in the way at all since the high
school goes to the college.
Tie examinations for city teachers
will be given September 1, and 3, at
the frame building, beginning at s
o'clock each morning.
The primary teachers of the city
schools will take up the study of pri-
mary methods this winter at our reg
ular teachers meeting and the rest Of
the grade teachers will work on in
termediate and grammar grade meth
ods. In the first class will be all Of
the teachers up to and including the
third grade, while the other division
will consist Of the remsining grades
below the high school, and it is hoped
that each teacher win provide herself
with the proper text for this work, IN
order to get the best results.
We are expecting better work this
year from both the high school and
grades because one will not be in the
way of the other, which has always
been one of the principal troubles be-
fore this. and there was not enough
room in the old buildings for both.

TREASURER is
GETTING MONEY
Taxes Are Being Paid in at a
Lively Rate. Northwest
ern Pays a Large
Sum. A Busy
Office

The railroad business is not
all clear money. We happened
to see the check the C. & N.
w., sent to the treasurer last
week to make the first payment
of the company's taxes for
this year in Harrison county,
and the amount was surprising
to US. $17, 700.16-and then to
think that Pitt gets another
shot at them in the fall for
pretty nearly as much. Speak
ing of taxes calls to mind the
fact that the treasurer's office
is a pretty busy place nova
days. Friday and Saturday of
last week, the amount collected
was $26, 433,0 4, and every re-
ceipt was written and register
ed before the force quit work
Saturday night. The books
were put away by the light of
a kerosene lamp though. Treas
urer Pitt is enforcing one pref
ty good rule in the conduct of
the office. Whenever a man
calls for his tax receipts he
has to show up the money or a
check. Time was when there
were some good men in the
country who would ask the
treasurer to "write up my re-
ceipts and I'll call for them in a
month or so when / sell nv
hogs, or get money from home, "
or something like that. Now
they pay when the receipts are
written, which is the only right
way to do business. The treas
urer says that only three or
four fellows had fits over the
rule. but these are recovering
all right. Logan Observer.
