A great deal of interest is being
taken in Carroll county, in fish cul

ponds and stocked them with carp.
A few days ago in passing Mr-
Burt Reagan’s we stopped to see his
pond. AY’hile small it is very neatly
arranged, and judging by the way
his fish have grown this year, they
must be doing well. By throwing
bread in the waterhe attracted some
to the surface, which appeared to
be large enough to weigh' a pound,
being twelve or more inches in
length. These fish he informed us
were put in the pond the first of the
year, when only some t wo or three
inches long, having been purchased
from Mr. John Star, near Bremen.

Dear Friends:—It is customary
for your chorister to meet Avith the
executive committee and assist in
arranging programme for the an
nual celebration, suiting music to
each feature thereof, but your
chorister for the present year did
not have that opportunity. Hence
the programme printed is lacking
that feature. And it is customary
also to select such music as is like
ly to be best rendered by the school
where the celebration is held. Be
low may be found an index to the
tunes selected for the forthcoming
occasion, which I hope you will all
as far as able learn and practice,
M'ith a view to making the music
the very best possible. They are
all found in “Songs For All” on the
pages indicated bv the figures.

Editor Free Press:—In the
interesting essay “Recent Events”
read by a young lady at the late
exhibition at Roopville and publish
ed on the first page of the “Free
Press” last week is to be found
the following: “If any person
should immerse their heads in wa
ter and not emerg e them lie M'ould
surely drown.” When I called my
litttle girl’s attention to it and ask
ed her to correct it, she asked me
to write it off for her saying she
■would correct and hand back. Now
this same little girl has been study
ing grammar at different times
far 2 years at tM*o of the schools in
Carrollton and you can imagine my
surprise and mortification, not to j
say indignation, when she handed ’
it back reading this way “If any
person should immerse their heads !
etc.” And it was not until she had !
made several efforts that she got it!
correct. Nom' I would like to ask
Miiat is the matter with our schools
and wherein docs the fault lie.
It surely is not because the in
structors are not competent, for the
teachers of all the above mentioned
schools stand high in their profes
sion. It must be either carelessness
or negligence in teaching, or a dc-;
sire to advance the children too ra
pidly. The idea is to push them I
along to higher studies to obtain ;
higher rates of tuition. This is all
good and proper provided the cliil-;
tlren understand thoroughly the el- j
ementary braenhes as they go over.
them. Incur common schools the
children are expected to get a j
thorough knowledge of the elemen-!
ary studies, for after they pass them
once it is too late. Only a few days
ago the board of visitors to the
State university reported that a
great many of the students there
could not speak and write the En
glish language. Now the fault is
back in the first schools they at
tended. It’s expected that students
go to college Avith a good under
standing of grammar and other
elementary branches. There is
too much of this neAV-fangled mod
ern idea in teaching and too many
new books now in vogue for the
good of our schools and children.
I fear too much time and attention
is given to thjngs of less importance.
For the children to be able to go
through all the figures and evolu
tions of calisthenics without a blun
der is very nice and gratifying to
both teachers and parents, but to
be able to do this at the expense of
the brain is a serious hurt to them
