AND SOME SUGGESTIONS for School Hoards, An Given Out Bjr The .County Superintendent. 1. --It is the opening of the school year. See that your school yards are properly mowed and cleared of weeds. Have the interiors of all buildings thor­ oughly renovated and all necessary re­ pairs made, 2.--If you have a fence about your sohool yard keep it in good condition. Remember, all educational influences are not in the inside of the school house. 8.--Keep your school buildings paint­ ed and render them in every way as at­ tractive as possible. How do they look nowY Do they look inviting? Wpuld you like, to spend eight hours a day for a period of nine months in the year in them? 4.--See that your outbuildings are clean and sanitary and free from ob scene characters. Many of the out buildings are suggestive of more evil than can be remedied by all the reform­ atory agencies of our county. Start things right and then hold your teach ers to a high degree of responsibility 5.--Let us try to secure a uniform school year«of nine calendar months or ten twenty-day months. In this way practically the same amount of work can be done in each and every school. 6.--Eugage One teacher for the whole year and always notify this office when you do so. 7.--Make complete and regular reports as required by law to the township treasurers, and thus assist in securing a prompt, accurate and complete annual report to the state superintendent. 8.--Visit the school as often as you can. Don't wait uutil trouble compels your official presence, as it is then, gen erally, too late. 9.--Look about you and jee if consoli dation is the next necesgai# step in the evolution of the common school institu­ tion in your community. If you think so talk it over with your neighbors and the directors of the adjoining districts. Call a mass meeting and petition our members of the next legislative assem­ bly to use their influence in securing the passage of a hw providing for the levying of taxes for the purpose of trans­ porting pupils to and from school. 10 --Pay good salaries in order that-- (a) Teachers may be encouraged to se­ cure special training in our state nor­ mals. (b) More men may enter the teaching profession. (c) Positions may become more permanent and teachers will identify themselves with the com­ munity and its interests, (d) The "mur­ der of the innocents" may cease because of this mistaken idea of economy, v(b) Those who are qualified to teateh, and must teach f r a livelihood, may be pro­ tected from unjust competition. .

We all hope they may be successful in their undertaking. --Walworth correspondent to Harvard Herald. Francis McKeon of Omaha, Neb., aged 10 years, was cured of lockjaw by being kept in the chill r6om of a brew­ ery company for nine days. A copy of an Omaha paper containing an account of the cure was sent to Mrs. M. N. Gardner by her daughter, whose home is in Omaha. The circumstance is so unusual that it has attracted consider­ able attention. The lad was in convul­ sions when taken to the chill room, but received relief almost at once. The temperature was kept at about the freezing point aud after the first night convulsions ceased and improvement was steady. The treatment for lockjaw has heretofore consisted of applications of ice to the brain and spinal column, but the attending- physician thought that breathing cold air would prove even more beneficial, and his theory proved to be correct.--Nunda Herald. « Among the Morert.

Hunter Boat Co, a home industry of which we spoke not long since. The company will hereafter be known as the Huuter-Weckler Boalt company. Mr. Weckler called at this office Tuesday of this week and was kind enough to inform us of the transr action^ When questioned as to their future plans Mr. Weckler said that they had not as yet decided what they would do, but that the entire work of the, com­ pany will be done at the Rosedale fac­ tory during the coming winter. The wish of the new company is to locate near a body of water and also near enough to a railroad that the boats can be loaded onto the cars direct from the factoryt without an extra amount of carting. McHenry offers an ideal location and an effort should be made to offer sufficient inducement to the company to keep them here perma­ nently. That such a factory will be a boon to our city is beyond a doubt, so let'8 get together and offer encourage­ ment to our new boat company. DENEEN DATES CANCELLED.

The Chicago Record-Herald ia a con­ spicuous example of the success with which the public rewaids fearless non­ par tisanhip in the columns of a great metropolitan daily piper. It is an inde­ pendent newspaper, in which men and measures are viewed wholly from the standpoint of the public good and not from that of the interests of any partic­ ular political party. It is the very re­ verse of neutral--fearless and outspoken on all the great questions of the day, but presenting its editorial opinion upon independent judgement and entirely re gardless of political affiliations. Parti­ sanship is barred as strictly from the news columns as from the editorial page. All political news is given with­ out partisan coloring, thus enabling the reader to form correct - conclusions for himself. In the ordinary partisan news­ paper political news is usually colored to snch an extent as to make it difficult, if not impossible, for the reader to secure a sound basis for intelligent judgment.

Trail has a constantly recurring inter­ est for players, as they perfect their playing from evening fo evening, in marked contrast to certain recent bois­ terous games that borp the players at the end of an hour.

The east being Mr. Miller's home he naturally shows a preference to that part of the states, which influenced his decision on the locality in which he is now located. During the three years which Mr. Miller has been in McHenry the best of satisfaction has been the re­ sult of his preaching, and his many friends here wish him success in his new field.
