"A bill which passed the legisla-
ture and was approved by Governor
Tener last year provided for an as
sistant to county superintendents at
a salary of $1,000 a year. Notwith-
standing the fact that the bill
passed both branches of the legisla-
ture and signed by the Governor, no
appropriation of money was made
so that the terms of the law could
not be made. This year, however,
the appropriation is likely to be
made and Superintendent Koehler
will then be privileged to select an
assistant.

ed the life of Mrs. Hickman if she
did not open the door. She fed to

know they had an enemy previous

Bellefonte is concerned. We think
those skeptics who thought it would
not be a success have had ample
cause to form other conclusions;
those uninformed who thought Chau-
tauqua meant a street carnival or a
frivolous amusement enterprise have
been brought to know of the seri-
BUSINESS of the undertaking. 1t is
needless to say that we recall moth
ing that has started people in Belle
fonte to talking and thinking of
things out of the ordinary groove of
their lives like the gatherings during
the past week have done. They
have brought wholesome instruction,
as well as entertainment and the one
regret is that the opportunity could
not be extended to more of our peo-
pie. Chautauqua week promises to
be one of the fixed and enjoyable in
stitutions of Bellefonte.- Demo-
