Thirty-Five Years Ago

From the st. Johns Herald
file, Oct. Ia. 1886:
The Herald did not publish
a full account of the Winslow
convention, but in this issue the
truth comes out in detached ar
ticles. The convention gave st.
Johns six votes and gave each
of the three delegations two
votes. The delegation headed
by ]. L. Hubbell, with John B.
Miner and Joseph Crosby as
lieutenants, holted. The Les
ueur-Howard delegation and the
Baldwin-Dalby delegation stay
ed.''
The Hubbell or Equal Rights
ticket appears in this issue of
the Herald. Part of the Wins
low ticket is endorsed. but the
new nominations are: James
Scott, assemblyman, against
John T. Hogue; John B. Miner,
judge; Antonio Gonzales, super
visor, against David Rope; J. L.
Hubbell, sheriff; Joseph Crosby,
treasurer; Alfred Ruiz, record
er. The Herald wades right
into the campaign in favor of
the Winslow ticket and goes
stoutly after Hubbell, Miner
and Crosby, the boilers. -
An outstanding feature of
this issue is the pardon of Am

ASK FOR STATE AID
All Districts Able To Main.
tain Standards Without
Assistance

Application for state aid has been
made by no school district in Knox
county it was stated Monday by Coun-
ty Superintendent ]. G.. Marriott.
Distribution now is being made by
the state department of education Of
a fund of $1,5OO,OO0 to those poor
school districts making application
for assistance. In making such appli-
cation for state aid the districts must
show they have exhausted their re-
sources and have a deficit they cannot
meet. The state makes up this defic-
it thereby removing the necessity for
closing the schools or abbreviating the
time they are open.
In distributing this state fund Di-
rector of Education Riegel insists that
the districts shall maintain good
schools after receiving the money. In
some instances, more money than the
district asks is allotted If an examina
tion of their application blank indi

A recent inquiry by the institute in.

the juvenile courts last year, Of which
but five were sentenced to institu-

"a decade and a half before, the
court was fairly inundated with boys

from Italian families. These children
are quick to absorb the opportunities

do as their American companions do
often leads them astray.
"The prevailing idea that most Of
the delinquency comes from homes in
the slum is exploded by Myers who
says that careful analysis Of the
many cases settled by him out of
court will show about an even division
between the homes of the poor, and
those of well-off persons.
