TELEPHONE SERVICE.

exchanges, at Strasburg, Toms Brook,
Maurertown, Woodstock, Ed;nburg,
Mt. Jackson and New Market. At
these several points connection will
be made with the lines extending
through the country, to West Vir-
GINA. to the Page Valley and the
counties of Rockingham and Fred :
erick. 1t will thus be seen that par
ties having telephone can communi-
cate with thousands of telephones. If
satisfactory arrangements can be
made, the company will be able to
give ITS subscribers long distance SER
vice, so that they can communicate
from their homes to every section of
the country. The rates charged are
very moderate, in fact, we fear, too
low to have firSt-class service.

TEN, | also noticed that a represent
tative of the Bell System attended this
meeting to submit a proposition 10
connect with that system. 1t looks to
me as if The Mutual System is not
mutual any more. In the first place
the She ndndoah County System, was
consolidated with the Mutual without
consulting the feelings of the stock
holders Of the Mutual at all. Second
~, last spli ing when the Shenandoah
County System wanted to buy the
Mutual lines out, the officers of the
Mutual addressed long circular to
each stakeholder of the Mutual, de-
claring the Shenandoah Coupty lines
TO lie the enemy of the Mutual, and
ihas they would sell US out to the Bell
System at once. 1t looks to me as if
the officers of the Mutual wanted to
reserve this honor to themselves,
judging from the notice given in the
bapers OF last week, it is time for the
stockholders of the Mutual System to
wake up and demand that the Mutual
System remain Mutual, and that the
rights of the stockholders be respected,

CALVARY GRADED SCHOOL

L
The spirit of public education il
this community has made progress!
within the last year that is little les.
than phenomenal. The people have
gone from an old dilapidated, LITTLE
one-room building in which wal
J Icrowded more than fifty pupils, to a
NEW, up-to-date, we'll equipped build
ing that is the pride of the entire com
munity. Teachers are Mr.. @. M
Dellinger, Principal and Misses
Willie Oney ard Stella Bowman,
assistants. with modern and pro-
lgresslve ideas, principles and meth
obs of teaching, and those only de-
voted to their work, have been en-
ployed. A popular sentiment. as
n. yer before, is being created N favor
OF the school. The enrolment has
increased in one month from fifty
five on the opening day to ninety-six
at the present. The school is made
up of pupils attending from radius
of three miles, and from other different
schools.
The present building which the
school occupies would do credit to
! any community 1t represents a cost,
including grounds and equipment of
nearly $4,000. The building is hand
some frame structure, placed upon a
commanding elevation where it can
be seen from all parts of the country.
There are four large class-rooms with
individual cloak rooms for each class
room, and wide halls and stairway.
The upper story can be thrown into
an auditorium, the two large class
rooms being separated by a folding
partition. The building is well light
ed, and heated by coal stoves at the
present, though splendid basement
Is under the building in which will be
installed the steam system of heat
ing The ventilation is of the most
impr owed methods. The school is
equipped throughout with one of the
best grades of single desks; indi-
vidual drinking cups and coolers are
used. The health as we'll as the in
tellectual and moral training is look
ed after. Efforts are now being made
to procure an organ and other .eqnip-
ment for the school.
The community is fortunate in hav-
ing progressive, conservative and
energetic corps of school officials and
local building committee Very great
credit is due Mr.. Josiah Wisman,
clerk Of the school board, for his un-
firing energy and ready response to
the best interest of the school.
Messrs. Asa Sheetz, NJ. F. EN-
swiler and julius Sheetz who COM
pose the LEGAL building and school
committee have devoted q great deal
of their time aud attention to the
school, and the results speak for
themselves. 1t is hoped that the
future interests of the school will adj
vance in manner that is CONNER
surate with the present.
