throughout the country az the 6-3-3

main that the elementary schools shall
be organized for six years of work in
stead OF four as now prevails. so that
the boy or girl may be in the vicinity

remain in school. The 7-s-9 grades

toward without the idea OF radical
changes being made immediately.
After thorough discussion, the COM

board of public instruction as sugges-
tive of a genera. scheme for future
planning.
The subjects of compulsory educa-

BY actual count by one who knows,
that number of years is the life of a

The crosstie has an interesting story
in connection with its life It was not
an ordinary old piece of timber. 1t has
a history, and will occupy a place in
the hall of fame of the *. of P.'s.
1t was away back in 1853 that this
crosstie came into existence, and it is
yet well preserved, made so by it's own
staying qualities. For all these years
it has been half buried and trampled
upon and ridden Overland yet lives.
This crosstie has a history, his
tory that would make interesting read
ing. 1t served its purpose from 1858
to 1913. Many events that have gone
into history have occurred in the in
tervening years.
But the crosstie still lives.
It served its time on the old Panama
canal railroad and when exhu1ned
short time ago it was found in an
almost perfect state of preservation
1t was a unique gift to the lodge, not
only on account of the esteem in which
the donor is held, but because the
crosstie had served its purpose faith
