by a whipping administered by MI.
John Holland under tho direction
of the county engineer. Mr.. JET
fords From ali accounts this is
a vory inrubordinate prisoner. and
punishment Of some kind seems to
be absolutely necessary: but at the
same time the grand jury does not
approve Of punishment as severe
as this seems to have been. We
hav been informed that this pris-
oner mas aggravated this wound
by continually scratching same. We
recommend that this mode Of pun
ishment be abolished mad that the
proper authorities take steps i'm
mediately to see that this recon-
mendation be carried out.
The grand jury desires to thank
your honor and other officers Of
the court for their valuable ad-

we were told that plans for new

ent OF education suggest a date IN

trustees of each school in the coun-
tv 10 meet at their respective
school houses and observe the con-
clitions as they exist and to make
the necessary adjustments as far as
possible before the winter season,
in order that both teachers and pu-
pills NAV be made comfortable while
in school.
We wish to commend the work
of our superintendents. Mr.. HaynS-
worth and Mr.. Hutchinson. the as
sistant superintendent and truant
officer. for the good work they are
doing under the existing conditions.
we find that Mr.. Hutchinson has
greatlv increased the attendance in
the various rural schools OF tAe
county. and at this tire we under
stand that there are Very few
pupils of school age who are not IN
school though the compulsory law
does not go into effect until the tlrst
part Of November.
We found that several school
districts had been consolidated and
.,ne are under the process OF con-
solidation. and W" wish TO COM
mend those districts for this step
and suggest that other districts do
the came thing where practical.
