If the state superintendent's Interpretation of lbs law had beeu upheld by the oourt the district would have been held for the tuition.

Their work in the country schools has been of high grade and all wish them well in their future efforts in tha city schools. While tbe country schools are la dire need of the best teachers that can be secured end retained, yet it Is but natural to seek recognition in fields with bigger opportunities and wa have only words of encouragement for tboss country teacher who are giving tbs beet that's In them in service to their communities with tbs hope that reward will corns In tbe way of broader oppor tunltlfts, However, ws are praying for the speedy arrival of tbe day when coun try people will eee ths need of making stronger Inducements for the moat successful teachers to remain In their midst and stem this steady procession of the beet teachers from the country schoools to the town snd city schools. In a sense,' the hiring of teachers, especially In the country schools, is a lottery. Sometimes you get a good teacher and sometimes yon don't. Ths system is at fault The examination required by law is s poor criterion at its best Kit reveals little; to tbe examiner of tbs thing that he really should know in ; order to enable, btm to judge intelligently as to the capacity of that particular person for managing a school.

Mr. Blattman was serving In the army at tbe time of his death, which occurred at Pine Bluff, Ark., on May 11, 1863. On September 29, 18M, the deceased was united to her second husband, George Schreiner, the ceremony bavin been performed in Chicago. This anion was blessed with three children. namely: Katie, who paaaed away No-vember 14, 1878; Emma, who died on December 10 of ths eame year, and William G. Schreiner, who with Mrs. Smith are left to survive. Her last husband paaaed awsy in this village on August 18, 188L The deceased bad been ailing for the past two or- three years, but nevertheless ber departure to tbe other world was not looked for so soon.
