School Notes.

Sometimes we conclude that lit.

educational in this crest country;
the facts below given will serve to
show that We have made remark
able progress In all tbingr.
Fifty years ago there was not a

there are 10, 900 in the schools and

institution in the United States;
now there are 10000 with rneehan-
icsi equipment.
Al that time there was but one
school Or college thAs had any re-.
spect for educational sgficalture
in the United Statss; now shers4
are thousands Of school gardens
and ieids for practical Agr. Few
cities then had drawing; now none
thas does not have IL. Few cities
then that had music taught, now
few that do not; then there was
not q school gymnasium In the
there was not . pisce Of

Then there was not school that

The question of the public roads
was taken up. and the Gap between
Rome Church and the Summit Ho-

which must be repaired were order
ed put in shape, and the money to
do this work was arranged for by
issuing interest bearing warrants.
The new assessment law was ex.
planned to the ]. P's. and discussed
in general in order that the mem.
