 School Property.
 The total value of the school property is estimated to be worth $750, ,000, there being 133 buildings in the county. Ten of these are brick structures, while 123 are frame build ings. During the last year eight modern one-room buildings were constructed in the country districts at an average cost of 5000. Several districts are contemplating the erection of new buildings, among these being the Altheimer district. At Redfield a four-room building of brick is under construction. This will be a model school building in every respect and will cost $6500. Money in Treasury. Superintendent Lowe reports a balance of $20,770.70 in the school fund, the financial report showing: Balance on hand June 30, 1913, $20,- 085, 5,23; received from the state, $49.- 7S3.72: from school and poll taxes, including special school tax levies, PoO,Ioo.Hc, HUH OIuSl ooulo oCo, odSi as liquor and hunting licenses, re- deemed lands, etc, $9,96S.19 or total of $170,003.39. The disbursements aggregated $149,232.69. or about $6 per pupil. The expenses were divid- cd as follows: Salaries. SS0, 7O3 22 :; buildings and repairs to buildings $65.0S7.4 incidentals $3.442>O4.
 Practically all districts in the county have voted the 7-mill tax for another year, and the outlook for continued progress in school work never appeared better Reports fndi- cate that the directors of districts are rapidly coming to relization of the necessity to pay fair salaries if competent teachers are to be obtain cd. and as this practice becomes more and more the rule the higher the standard of efficiency of the teaching corps.
 Those who have studied the situ- ation appreciate that the average teacher is worth more to the com muaity than the average laborer, and that if people competent to teach and form the character of young people are to be secured they must be paid commensurate with the service they render. It is this disposition that is bringing to the Jefferson county pub lie schools better teachers, and as the funds increase if will be the ef- fort to pay to the instructors of child ren the full value of their work.
 Superintendent Lowe states that practically all positions in the teach ing corps of the county have been filled for the coming term. and that the force is the superior of any ever assembled in the county.
 All schools will resume work about September 15, and Mir. Lowe expects the term to be one productive of great results
 MT. Lowe finds that the patrons of the different districts are taking great interest in the schools, showing disposition to cooperate fully with the authorities and the instructors, and he realizes fully that this DOT tends better schools, better work and greater results.

IN MEMORIAM.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.

(Written for The Graphic by Mrs
 Hughie c. Anderson.) Why move with heads ben low? Why step so soft and slow; As if for fear you'll wake Some loved enc from their sleep? Know not, o heart of fear, That, there, upon a brier, All perfumed with sweet flowers, From tender loving hands,, A form lies white and still, While all the air is chill With tears and pain. What mean these flags half-mast? Why weep as ye go past; As if your souls were dipt In woe and sorrow? Know not, o passing throng,
 sys That now our hearts are wrung With anguish that s deep, Yea, deep and keen? For gone from out our midst, A spirit. Angel kist, While we remain. Why stoll, deep-tangued bell? Why clothe your silver knell, As if your throat were choaked, And sorrow priest? Know not, o traveller, We mourn for loss of her Who did our nation bless. For her we mourn and sigh, For her the night winds cry In, sore distress. Now all is hushed and still, While Lowing to Gods will, We stand in reverent silence While we wait. Know not grief-stricken hearts, The waiting is your part? The waiting and the longing Here Below? This our Gethsemane, Our cross, our calvary. Our loss her gain shall be Forever
