SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.
Literary and Dramatic Work by
CRANES In Massachu

One can scarcely comprehend the
amount or understand the full signili
canoe OF the strictly literary work done
in the subordinate oranges OF the
country during years time. But few
of the state oranges keep so complete
record of this work as does New
Hampshire and Massachusetts; hence
ii is to them that we may return for
some interesting figures. We quote
from the report Of former State Lee
turer Richardson Of Massachusetts.

ports were received from 234 and from

showed that there had been n total Of
1.2SS debates and discussions, 1,lS4 vo-

lections, G,2lS readings, l.4Tl papers
in which $3.50 persons took part and
1,50S other features. in which 2OI97

that there are 1000 subordinate

there might be in the average of sub

We also get n valuable side light just
here on the sources Of the oranges In

representatives Of the people in our

own public questions to be discussed
and problems TO be solved. and In so
far as these questions bear upon the
interest Of the farmer we may rest as
sured they will be discussed In the
oranges OF that state. National mat
tiers bearing upon the interests OF agri-
culture generally are discussed In
oranges all over the land. Is II any

NEW RURAL SCHOOL LAW.
New York Puts Its Rural Schools on
Same Plane as High Schools.

The last legislature Of the state OF
New York passed Il rural school bill
which has received the governors sig
nature and which will place rural
school districts on par in several i'm
portant particulars with city schools
The general provisions of the law are
TO the effect that the commissioner of
education may lay out districts Of his
own motion suitable for central high
schools anywhere in the state at any
time. and in these schools there shall
be taught the studies usually pursued
in village or city high schools as well
as agriculture. These new school dis
tricts are to be laid out independently
of the boundaries of existing school
districts. towns or counties. and after
district has been laid out only those
residing within the boundaries of the
said district shall be permitted to vote
on the proposition of establishing such
a central high school. Fifteen taxpay
ers may call for a meeting ut which
such school shall be established or
not. IL the vote be favorable the
school shall be established. and the
school district shall have all the privi
leges of union school district. 1t will
receive from the state the same mon
eys that the territory included In it
received when divided into several dis
tricts and also the allowance made for
high school instruction and for instruc-
ton in agriculture where such schools
are maintained and instruction given.

the most valuable acts Of the state

affairs.
