There has been large increase in
attendance this year, both in the
High School and in the grades; in
fact we have had the largest enroll
ment in their history.
This increase has rendered an adj
ditional seventh, grade necessary,
which fact you have already recog-
nized and provided for by creating
another section and furnishing an
other teacher. This grade will occu-
Ply one of the three rooms now va
cant, leaving two unoccupied rooms
which represent the only seating
space left for expansion in our whole
school system. Next year it is quite
likely another first grade will have
to be created to accommodate the ever
increasing swarm of little folks. Nor
is this all. Another secti0'. of the
First Glass High School viii soor be
imperative.
Two years trial of sight Sin ing
and the Edmondson Syelem of PEN
manship has convinced me thai re-
markaH'e progress has beer made in
both of these branches.
Our grade work has been in
charge of normal school graduates
with the exception of two local teach
ers, themselves as good as the best
and consequently instruction has
been according to the best Methods
The main draw back to their
teaching has been, in most cases,
the oyergrown units with which they
have had TO deal. They have sue
ceeded however, by hard work despite
the size of the grades.

'WTuV not give your lad
VIII / the same training?

When was a growing lad. and came
upon many words in my reading that
j did not understand, my mother. in
stead of giving me the definition when
] applied to her. uniformly sent me TO
the dictionary to learn il, and in this
way l gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question among other things,
how to use n dictionary. and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went TO the village
school, my chief diversion. after les
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the Unabridged of those
days. Now the most modern Una
bridged- theNEW INTERNATIONAL
gives me a pleasure of the same sort.
So far as my knowledge extends, il is
at present the best of the One-volume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries in
several volumes will yet find il a great
convenience to have this, which is so
compact. so full. and 80 Trustworthy
as to leave, in most cases. little to be
desired. - Albert S. Cock, Ph. D., LID,

Winters. well known in this city, and Mrs. DeMonte's great grand father, in payment for his services during the war of 1872. John Winters was private in Porter's company, 27th regiment infantry, during the war of 1872 As there was no money in the treasury to pay the soldiers after the war, a special act was passed ranting land payment on military bounties. The act was passed in 1872. The document is dated November 1877, and is signed by James Monroe, then president of the United States, and J. Meigs, commissioner of the gen. eral land office. The grant was for 160 acres in the southwest quarter, section Il, township 12, north in range, four tary bounties in Illinois. The docu- old, is in very excellent state of pres ervation.
