v Tlief* tlbrsi the Law wfcSotr fefts recently been approved by GH>*. CuHam. The press ami educa­ te of IIMi iitte quite generally have been pitching into the law because it was supposed that the bill would allow all the high schools of the Statf to be abolistrad by a vote of the people, that the question of abolishing them could be raised every year upon peti­ tion of any flft|r persons. Says a respondent: This was a mistake. The bill only fMpDvides that township high schools of which there are about half a doxen la the State, may be discontinued in the same way that they are llshed--by a vote of the people. High schools operated under special charter or under Section 80 of the scitoc ase in no way aflycted by this bilh-- was introduced by Mr. Scroggs of Uhatupaiga, in the interest of two towns In that county, which had found their township high schools too heavy A burden, The bill passed the House oh its merits by a vote of J18( to 3.-- When the Davis bill cauie in the Sett- ate it was proposed to amend the school law by striking out aitogother the power to establish township high schools* and this power was saved only by allowing the substance of the anie raiment proposed in the Scroggs biljySse added to this bill. So far Vfo^i, from the high schools being at- tacked b^y the bill, the township high •schools were really saved by the aui%dment. and no other high schools Wet {p qpyyay touched by it. ^ • , . A SAW LESSON. c... , " r " The Chicago Evening Journal re­ starts that "there is a much-needed lesson conveyed to school districts by the mournful experience of the afflicted /village of Jacob's Mills. Vt, The evl dence of the medical experts employed to investigate the cause ot death of the dozen or more of school children in that hamlet who were at first supposed to have been poisoned by drinking the Water of a brook which ran past the Mfhool house, after having collected the "drahmge of a barnyard and a field In Which parisgreen had bden used, shows, that these Innocents died from dip£he ria. lhduced by foul pools and sinks under and immediately around the school house. In a oountry abounding fn wholesome, elevated school sites these stupid people had suflered their school house to be squatted down on a piece of cheap, oozy, andr^inedground --where the walls became yituty and Sfee underside of the flooring boards grew green with mold There are hundreds of school houses ik the country which are as wickedly located as the one that has thus become, so sadly conspicuous. Let us hope that time is not far distant when every community will insist that school houses shall be wholesomely located, wholesomely constructed, heated and entilated, and be kept, within and thout," in wholesome, condition. It akes one shiver with t indignation to fliink how many tender darlings who carry all the joy of their mother's lives ift their loving, trusting hearts, are condemned to study in school-room? that are but little better thsoi <iif«i»ea.M :' * Fine dothi-, for Sumner Suitings cheaper than any other house in the bounty, at Lauer & Becker1*, near the * Pepot. - tin I "r a the people . - • ' . . -i nera We have one of the most complete stock of Goods ever to this market, consisting in part of : '•m'Vl stock 111 Wei: m. : •' & ow-ware, T.
