tune to. lose fine milch COW. valued

ming nail into its foot. Luck seems

Crooked run. and went to that place

Seven Months School Too Much.
The board OF education Of Tenmile
district have decided that seven
months OF school. in the rural dis.
tricts is too much-that six months
Ia plenty. It is q fact that during
the last months OF the term just end
ed the pupils. especially the smaller
ones became exceedingly restless,
and did not do half as good work as
previous. 1t is probable that the
board OF education will hire only
teachers holding No. ] certificates for
the next year, at a slightly increased
salary, and make the term six months
instead Of seven. -
