RURAL SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

The speaker urged the grange to
appoint committee to investigate
the agricultural high schools in
other states, and said that it was d
mistake to say Delaware College
took the place Of such a school. be-
cause the college was not for chill
dren. He said such school would
not be compulsory, but for those
pupils desiring the course.
Professor Spaid stated that the
county commissioners have the
power and intend to enforce at
once improved sanitary arrange
mcntS in the county schools. He
SAID if it were necessary he would
force the issue and 90 to the moth
cra. The mothers present last
night stood by Prof. Spaid $ posi-
tion in this matter very strongly.
Prof. Sp0id believes that COM
puiSory school law should be eff
I"ctiyc from the opening to the
close Of school. KS it is now not
more than five months can be made
compulsory, and this may be re-
duced to three or four, and was so
reduced by twenty-five county
schools last year. These schools
made the mid-Winter months, when
the weather and road conditions
were worst, the compulsory time,
and Of course the law could not be
enforced. Also. he said the Trus-
tees Of the Poor should have the
power to furnish the truant officer
with orders for shoes and clothes
for children whose parents could
not dress them we'll enough for
school. Another need was a tru-
ant school. Prof. Spaid said he
thought it wrong to have to send
children to an industrial school
where more serious Juvenile Of
tenders were sent when their only
crime was a dislike for going to
school. The two mile limit he also
found a bad feature Of the present
law.

"And twas there l fell in with
the king of the island of Atu,
which is 700 miles west of Agu-

His name was Anania Prokopior,
and he and his subjects were

Feckla, tall girl for a native,

anywhere, white or brown.

PECULIAR PRAYER TO COURT Error ot stenographer Responsible for Few Mere Gray Hairs in
 Head of Lawyer.

"They say that lawyer has been saved by his stenogra pher," said an attorney, at a recent lecture. That is true, undoubtedly, because law. yer's stenographer, who is observing, gets many points of law out of her work.
 But there is another side to it that must not be overlooked, and that is tho mistakes that lawyers stenog- rapher makes. The law terms are so technical that it is not within reason to expect the stenographer to get ev- eryth:ng exactly right.
 "One Of the most amusing errors that I have ever heard of in connec lion with stenograp phic errors, if 1 may call it that, occurred in certain law office the other day. The case was a divorce action, in which the plaintiff alleged cruei and inhumap treatment.
 Plaintiff, being a woman with al. the common law disabilities. prayed the court for temporary alimony and suit money. The prayer was dictated 70 the stenographer and she wrote ii out and mailed it to the court
 Shortly afterward. the lawyer chanced to read copy and found tc his horror that the stenographer had made the prayer one fer alimony and soup money.
