Little Miss Stockert recently spelled
down seven teachers, then went to

the instructors there to shame, refus-
ing to miss a word all day long. This
week she received a list Of the words
sent out from Columbus. 1t was sup
posed to be perfect. Now she takes
to task these four words: DO you spell
"impostor" or imposter," "ostracise'
or "ostracize," occulist' or @oculistg,
and "trosseau" or "trouSseau'? @

OHIO SOILS REQUIRE LIME

In nearly all Of Ohio hay and grass
crops are grown more or less and we
find that there is and always has beer
a good sale for this crop, taking il
year in and year out. The risk of this
crop is not as great as it is on other
crops, and the demand is constantly in
creasing on account of the increased
number of live stock which is being
carried. Therefore, it is important
that the farmer pay more attention to
the building up or the restoring Of the
lost fertility Of his meadows.
The application or lime is the first
thing to look after. 1t will help to
break down the organic matter in the
soil more quickly, and thus save time,
aid nature and bring better results. It
is the very basis Of the best method
for the up-keep of the meadows and
other grass crops, and matter which
should demand a more careful consider
alton than it has ever received before,
as the time is now at hand when there
will be a large demand for every ton
of hay that can be produced. We need
more Of the mixed hay in some of our
counties.
Therefore, the old hit or miss plan
Of farming will not go any longer, and
we must know what we want and what
we are striving to obtain.
We must follow up the business Of
producing hay in systematic way. By
the use Of agricultural lime and
ground limestone upon your clay soils
you will bring back the grass lands of
q state which has long been noted for
good climate, soils and crops.
The hay crop ranks next to the corn
crop in value. But are we giving it as |
much attention as we ought? Now is |
the time to start and you should see
what arrangements can be made to OBJ
tain this material. It is one Of the !
necessary materials that must always
be supplied for the higher improve
ment and permanent maintenance Of
Ohio soils. 1t can be used with sufi-
cient profit to justify its application

GOVERNOR SIGNS
WINAN LAW

| The Winans school law which passed
the Houselon Tuesday, May1S, passed
4 the Senate last Friday and received
the signature Of Geo. Wills, and il
therefore . full-fedged statute, be-
coming effective Aug. 26. According
to Representative Shank, two or three
slight changes were made in the
text Of the law after passage by the
House, for the purpose Of making
more clear the meaning Of certain
clauses, but otherwise Of no material
account.
The new school law makes radical
changes in the present schoo! code, but
in the main does not materially injure
the rural school system. It would
seem that the law is calculated to.
strengthen the power Of the county
board Of education and county super
intendent and to hasten consolidation.
or Capitalization Of schools.
The law provides that no district
superintendent is allowed to have
charge Of fewer than 80 teachers, but
a school district maintaining a first
grade high school may remain out
from under district supervision, and
the local board of education will have
power to say how much time the, ,prin-
cipal Of such school shall give to
actual supervision. Such schools will
receive no state aid toward payment
Of principals salary, but such princi-
pal shall perform the Office Of superin-
tendent directly under the county sup
erintendent. This provision will add
work for the county superintendent
Another feature Of the new law is the
power of the county board of educa-
tion concerning the closing Of schools
having daily attendance under 12l
for the past year. In cases Of this
kind the county board shall have the
power to exercise its discretion as to-
whether such school shall be closed or
continued, and from their decision
there is no appeal. The county board
also has power to set one whole dis
trict into another.
