SCHOOL BOARD MI EFT.
superintendent and Principal Elected
and Other Important Business
Transacted.

The school board met In regular
session on Monday evening with all
members present.
The usual accumulation of month
ly bills was disposed of and a final
settlement made with district No.
of Gooding county for a debt
that WAS incurred through the
division of the county and
the school district. A war
rant for 1870 was drawn in IA
vor OF district No. Z, which is the
final echo of county division as far
as the school district is concerned.
A report from the wagon commit
tee was to the effect that the wagons
running north were becoming too
crowded, and to relieve this condi-
ton, it was decided to compel the
children living within the prescribed
limit OF y miles from the school
house to hereafter walk instead of
riding in the wagons and thus over
crowding them.
At the request of the board. Super
intendent Massey had prepared and
submitted to the board a detailed
report covering the past six months
of the school year The report shows
that at the end of the past month the
enrolment in the schools was 1872 as
against 483 for the corresponding
month last year and 45S for the year
before, showing steady gain in the
school enrolment. The average
daily attendance during the same
period was 416 as against 394 and
344 for the corresponding periods for
the two preceding years.
A very interesting feature of the
report is tabulated statement show
grade that are either advancing
standing still or retrograding. and
this feature of the same should be q
source of much qualification to the
parents and patrons of the school. al
1t shows a very high percent of the
scholars advancing in their grades
A close examination was made of 4Ol
grade cards which showed that 30i
scholars were advancing, 70 were
standing still and 80 had retrograd
ed. In the latter case, however, nj
reflection can be cast either upon tn,
pupil or teacher as Superintendent
Massey explains this as due to vari
GUS causes Out of the school censu
of 538 there Is an enrolment of 40.
or nearly go per cent. which is re
garded as a remarkable showing.
In conclusion the Superintendent
says: Permit me to say that my ide
of supervision is that the effor
should be directed along the line O
WALKING the teaching process. Tha
line has been followed and / ar
pleased to state that. In my opinion
the class teaching in the Jerom
schools. as a whole. is of a very hig
order" The report would indicat
as much.
The other business of the boar
having been transacted. and tn
election of a Superintendent and
Principal being next in order. tn
board went into executive session
with the result that Superintender
Massey was retained at the head {
the schools and Mr.. Hughell was r
elected as Principal. both gentleme
receiving the unanimous vote of ii
board.

Odd Facts

English statisticians have calculated
that 52.287.6s7 bushels Of malt was
used in brewing Of their beer in the
last year 1t is estimated that every
bushel Of the grain used would have
made at least Is four-pound loAves Of
bread. This would have provided a
fourpound loaf every day for a year
for the 100000 men fighting In Bel
giun. with 100000 loaves left over for
the hungry at home.
Great Britain possesses about 5000.
900 men between the ages Of nineteen
and thrty-hve.
One Of the bombs dropped by a Zep-
peltn Is estimated to have been 460
pounds in weight.
A singular tree In Cuba is the yaguey.
The seed Is carried by a bird, or waited
nv the wind. and. failing into some
moist. branching part on the top Of an
other tree begins to grow. 1t sends
kind of thin. stringlike root down the
body OF the tree, eoon followed by
others. In course Of time these root
ings strike the ground. and growth i'm
mediately commences upward. New
rootings continue to be formed and get
strength until the one tree grows as q
net around the other. The outside one
surrounds and presses the inner. strang-
ling its life and augmentinG its own
power. At length the tree within 10

possession becomes itself the tree.

NEW YORK, jan. 8.-Scarcely any

of two Young women at the boxing room
Of Browns Symnasiun this week. -Four
women took their places among the spec
tetors as IL II were the most natural
thing tn the world for them to do. They
were Young, attractive. well dressed and
very evidently present to enjoy tho sport
and not to be stared at by the men who
was noticeable that rins.ide profanity
Ceased. and even the usual yelis of en-
coura cement and vituperatiOn were n hit

escort they were heard to declare that
thcv liked boxing much better than foot

spectators could see what was happening

matter OF course.
