Knights Templar Extra.

An, extra, and it might well be termed
extraordinary, meeting of the Knight.
Templar was held at the Masonic Tenn
pie in this city last Thursday Afternoon
and evening, the 10th. Commandery
degrees in full were conferred on five
candidates. To accomplish the work
thoroughly it was necessary to employ
portion of the afternoon. There was
a splendid attendance, members of the
local asylum being present from Barne-
weld, Dodgeville, Linden, Mifflin Mont
fort, Darlington, Brodhead and possibly
some other places.
What made the occasion smack of
the extraordinary was the presence of
the wives of Sir Knights. Although
not participating in any way in the
work of initiation, the better halves"
were royalty provided for, the K. P.
Hall being secured as a headquarters
for them, where they enjoyed them
selves highly in a social way. OF
course, they partook of the delectable
banquet served at the Temple, and be-
sides they had the pleasure of visiting
our well equipped stores and attending
The Grand in a body.
The noon of night was at hand when
dom" ceased.

The matter of tuition money paid TO
the city by pupils living outside the city
should be of interest to those who pay
the taxes, and as this is a matter that
can easily be misunderstood plain
statement of the facts may be appreci-
ated by those who are glad to see the
school prosper.
In the grades the tuition is Sl2 a
year. In the 9Th grade or Preparatory
it is SIS, and in the high school the
tuition is SIS a year The tuition is
paid in different ways and at different
times. Pupils from the Hoare and
Wedlock districts are paid for by the
districts at the close of the school year
in June. All other tuition pupils in the
grades pay their own tuition each term.
For pupils in the high school an en-
tirely different method is followed. At
the close of the school year a bill is
sent to each township from which pu-
pills have come, but townships do not
pay the money until after the next
taxes are collected.
In speaking of the tuition for any
year we always mean the amount the
school has earned during that year al
though some of it is not paid until the
following year.
The tuition money earned by the city
schools during the past few years is as
follows:
| Year ending June 1906, grades 1921,
high school 1913; tota 1919.
Year ending June, 1907, grades 1901,
