Board of Education Commended.

Morristown's board of education
has printed in the local newspapers
a very intelligent statement of the
years receipts, with reports of con-
dition of buildings. Aside from this
its merit is that it covers the period
from June Goth, 1910, to July 1st,
1911. Under the old rules and prac-
tice the school reports were a year
behind, and lost all their interest be-
fore they were made public.-Sussex

1.-The boys have also shown great
interest in tumbling, wre Ting, and
apparatus work In the forepart OF
the month a great deal of time was
spent in training for the meet to be
given on the 1st of July. Sprlnts
and distance running, quarter, half
and mile were the track events. A
new jumping pit has been fixed
where the boys train for the running
and standing broad jumps, and high
jump. The girls have used the
games of tether ball and croquet
mostly They hold these two games
in high favor, preferring them to base
ball, which was a prime favorite
with them last year. Tether ball is
excellent practice for using the tennis
racket and some of the girls are
promising to make good tennis players
The game is played by two players
on opposite sides of line dividing
the circle around a pole 10 feet high,
a white band is placed six feet from
the ground and the object is to
wind the ball and cord around the
pole above this mark. The girls and
boys are given their turn by hav-
ing their names placed on roll. no
one is allowed to have a place on
this list twice unless the name is
crossed out first, one game is played
and the winner continues to play
while the loser drops out and may
then place their name on the list
again.
1.-TWO tennis courts are under con-
struction now When these are ready
the girls and boys will start in pre-
pairing for a tournament. These
courts have to be laid out in the base
ball field, there being no other level
place large enough. So that baseball
and tennis will have to be a1ternated
for the rest of the season
"The river, shady as it is and not
deep enough to be dangerous, has
been used constantly for padding
and so called swimming. The shade
in this part of the playground is most
welcome, not alone to the children
but to the mothers who enjoy them
selves immensely on the green. Their
little ones either play in the sand
boxes nearby or take a nap in the
hammocks. There are Nsix of these
small baby canves hammocks hung
up in the shade of the trees and we
will put up more as the need seems
to be for them After the dam which
is now under way, is completed there
will be swimming place about 40
feet long, Is feet wide and of a
depth of just the waist of the chill
dren.
1.-THE public school classes continued
to the ninth of June There were
four rainy days and four of work. In
these four days 452 children came
down in classes. The work done so
far in this line has been mainly ex-
perimentaI We are anxious to start
up the same work in the fall and
make it of real benefit to the chill
dren.

counting the children went into ef-

SHAVED OFF THE ROADS
Maxwell Owner Equipped His
Car with a Blade.

Among the supervisors Of cheyenne
County. Neb., not little perturbation and
much curiosity have been aroused by some
Jack the Shaver slicing off the high and
rounded centre of the county roads. No
body suspected an automobile OF course
not. Why should motor car acquire or
indulge 4 propensity for excavation or
excoriation?
Al first the County Board Of Supervisors
thought the cutting off Of the roadtop was
accidental. But when evidence became
plentiful in various parts OF Cheyenne
County tho soions Of the prairies began 10
feel a bit nniffed about IT,
They set a watch. But no person vas
seen at work shaving oft the high centres.
They sent out a couple OF patrols in SOM
hreros and chans and mounted on broncos,
who spent week riding up and down the
sand snd clay mixture that passes for a
public highway, after being graded up by
teams and scrapers. At the end Of the
week the patrols reported. lsccnically, and
with fine disregard for Murrays rules OF
grammar:
I'VE amt saw nobody doin' nothin'."
60 stretch Of road was graded and
rounded off again along the centre. and
piece OF an iron crowbar was driven into
IL until 1ush with the hump Of the high
wev. That soon told the tale, which was
this: George Rogers, who lives in Sidney.
Chevenne County. is owner OF a 1915 Nit
chelI runabout. His business takes him
a good deal over the county roads, the high
centres OF which sometimes bothered his
car. go he had attached 10 the under side
OF its front axle long, sharp knife
parallel with and about three inches be-
low, the azle-vith which he pared off the
tops OF the high centres as neatly as
beauteous damsel in manicure parlor
trims a finger nail.
