The Wool From One Sheep.

A Cotswold buck fifteen months
old raised by Ira c. Roger, and at
present owned by George C. Lamp, OF
Lanark, Illinois, clipped twenty
seven pounds of wool one day last
week. This is a wonderful record.
When you stop to consider that the
average mans suit contains only
about four pounds Of wool and is
distinctly burdensome these hot
days, you can imagine the relief this
poor sheep must have felt when he
was Invested of his winter clothes,
the equivalent Sof seven fun suits.
The animal has been sheared twice,
yielding about four pounds when
only a few months old. Just one
sheep would regularly supply all the
wool the average family needs.

revealed that Iowa stands seventh
in the efficiency of its schools in the
list of states. The results of the
study have recently been announced,
The west is advancing and the east
is losing ground in school efficiency
and in education, this report shows
iowa is far ahead of Illinois, which
ranks twenty-fourth in the list
North Dakota and Nebraska have
progressed, while Kansas has gone
backward in the last twenty-eight
years. The figures show that every
New England state has lost ground
Montana holds first place. Cali
fornia second, Arizona third, New
Jersey fourth, District of Columbia
fifth, Washington sixth and Iowa
seventh.
The factors particularly taken into
consideration We're the number of
children in attendance, the amount
OF training they secure. the progress
made, the amounts expended for
buildings and supplies, and salaries
paid teachers. The data was furnish
cd by the states themselves to the
federal government.
The report states that the most
notable change that has taken place
during fifty years covered is in the
attendance of high schools. One
hundred times more pupils are en-
rolled in high schools than in 1870,
The number was then $4,000 as CON-
pared to 100000 at the present
time. The attendance has increased
particularly among girls. !.
The lowest salaries recorded are in.
North Carolina. The school systems
OF the territorial possessions of the
United States have higher ratings
than do those of many of the states.
Those of Hawaii are reported better
than those of the majority Of the
American states while Porto Rico
and canal zones schools also rank
comparatively high. In the list of
states and possessions numbering in
all fifty-two the ten states last in
the list are Virginia, Tennessee Ken
