The subject Of assessments and
rate Of taxation was discussed at a
meeting of the Board Of Education
last night. In view of recent de-
cision that the assessment of auto
mobiles was within the legal rights
of the Board it has been decided
that the assessment on machines
shall be 40 per cent of their retail
cost for new machines, 80 per cent
for 2 year old, 25 for 3 year, 20 for
4 year and succeeding years. This
assessment will apply to all the
standard cars. The only exception
will be in some of the cars that are
no longer made.

Summer School Bulletin

The fourth week of the Summer
School for Teachers shows a final
registration for the various courses
OF 165, several students having en-
tered at the middle of the session
for the purpose evidently of pre-
parlng for the examinations of the
State Board Of Education. These
examinations will be held at the
State Board Of Education. These
examinations will be held at the
College on Friday and Saturday.
July % and July 26. For the ex-
aminations, 10 students of the
school have already handed in their
names. The majority of the stu
dents will take all Of the examina-
tlons, the average number of exam
nations for each student running
above eight.
Additional facts and casual COM
ment illustrate the seriousness with
which most of the students are ap
preaching the work of the school
and the varied benefits resulting
from the prescribed work of the
courses, from the opportunities for
independent reading, and helpful
exchange of ideas, and from the
general afternoon and evening lee
lures. Two significant facts to edu-
Gators, at least, are, first, that 90
per cent of the students of the
school are taking the full number
OF courses allowed-that is. four
courses, with one additional course.
II 1t is Drawing or Primary Meth
DDS and, second, that S2.46 per cent
OF the opportunities of the school
are thus being realized, the differ
ence in percentage being explained
by the fact that every student
might have taken five courses. 1t
is a matter of much qualification
to the authorities Of the school.
however, that contrary to their
feeling at the opening of the ses-
SION, students are now beginning to
realize that even four or five sub
lects are too many to handle salts
factorlly. Now that the Summer
School is a permanent institution.

water as possible. Stir this into the

The croquettes can then be made
