The farmers institute held here
Wednesday and Thursday of last week
was we'll attended at all sessions, the
evening sessions being especially we'll
patronized. In point of attendance the
occasion was perhaps the most successful
of the many that have preceded it. The
lecturers and instructors furnished by the
state agricultural department kept their
audiences well entertained, and impaired
much knowledge that will doubtless bear
fruit in the coming seasons. The music,
which was especially good, was furnished
by the Shriver and Blocher schools of
Tionesta township. the members of the
chorus being as follows: Olive Wolf, VIM.
Wolf, Ella Daum, Floy and George Zuck,

fore the Legislature, and the opinion seems
to be general, that while some features of
the new code might be all right, yet as
whole the code should meet with defeat
at the hands of our legislators. 1t is with
this bill as with many others, 1t takes
local government from the people and
centers ii in the state. Our public schools
should be "of the people, for the people,
aud by the people," The people can be
trusted. One particularly vicious feature
of the bill is the provision changing the
method of distributing the school sppro-
priation, which would rob the country
districts of their equitable share of the
appropriation and give it to the large
