H. Dodds, who for a little more than fourteen years has been one of the most faithful and level-headed members of the Board, and who has always been elected without any op position whatever, sent in his resigna tion much to the rogret of the friends of the school. For a number of years he has been the capable Sec retary of the Hoard, and the vacancy In that office was filled by the unanimous election of Mr. E. C. Henton. The vacancy on the Board waH filled by tho election of Mr. P. A. Hunt, who proved the unanimous choice of the members present. Mr. Hunt was formerly a successful teacher and has always taken an In terest In educational matters, thus making the selection an exceedingly good one. The committee on Building and Grounds—Messrs. C. A. Wood, R. J. j Armstrong and E. B. Russell—report ed unanimously In favor of a site for the proposed new school building in East view, but action woh deferred. It will most probably bo Impossible to get this building ready for use by the opening of school next fall, but it should certainly he ready for the open ing of the winter term. At the request of the Chief of the Fire Department. Mr. M. D. Russell, the Hoard decided to give the schools a holiday next Wednesday and Thurs day on account of the big Firemen s tournament, but require school to b»* held on both the Friday and Saturday following. On account of the delay In starting school last fall because of the new building, the spring term would re gularly oloBe on June 14th, but the Hoard has fixed the date for com mencement on June 7th, and the school tickets for the last three weeks will be sold for 35 cents.

IS IS IS question in arithmetic and casuistry. A farmer is fatting three hogs in three small pens; they have equal room and straw and care, and are fed 1 In these three ways: first hog, on a certain proportion of milk and cooked oornmeal; second hog, on the same, half water; third hog, on the same, half water and sawdust. How long will it take,how much will tl\«y weigh, how much will they cost, and what’ll the profit be on the three 7 And a. similar question in pigmen- try. That same farmer is going to paint thrqe barns same size; and he says to three painters: ‘‘What’ll you take to paint that barn?” First painter scratches his head a few minutes and says: “I’ll do it for $50.” Second painter: ”$75.” Third painter: ”$97.48.” Will they each get a barn to paint, or one get two, or one all three, or nobody any; and what’ll they make on the Job? That’s about how painting goes sometimes. Hut there is a way to reckon: $5 a gallon. The difficulty is in knowing how many gallons to buy. There’s a way out of that. Buy the least-gallons paint, Devoe. No matter how much one buys; he returns what’s left: costs nothing. Yours truly, 2D F. W. DEVOE & CO. E. Bradford sells our paint. Mr. J. A.
