OKNEUAL HKMA1IKS AND SUUUK8T10N3,
This county has at present twenty
live districts, all of which have had
school daring the past year. There
iiave been four new school hruxes
built. The district board of district
No 1 graded their school iu September
last. They have built a fine new
frame building, for the Light r grade,
at a cost of $1400, which is about
ready for occupancy. It is to beseat
ed with the Eureka patent Beats. The
directors of this district are men of
iuteligenoe, and are doiug all they can
to make the school a success.
There are fourteen frame sohool
buildings in the county, ten of which
are well furnished with patent desks
and seats.
Four of the districts are not yet pro
vided with school houses, but expect
to build the coming year.
In all the schools there is a sad defi
ciency 10 apparatus; many of tueai
have but a small surfaco of black-
bSArd. and some none at all.
The greatest obstacle that teachers
have to contend with is the multiplici
ty of books. The new settlers' chil
dren bring the books they used before
they came here, and take them into
the schools.
I have found, in some sohools, two
and three times as many classes as
there ought to be, and the schools
suffered very much in consequence.
The salaries of teachers, for males,
range from (15 to fGO; of females,
from 20 to $0C.C0. '
The number of visits of the county
superintendent, from November 1st,
1872, to Oct 1st, 1873, were twenty
five. The number of teachers ex
amined, during the same time, for a
third crade certificate, sixteen; for a
second grade, seventeen; for first
grado, two. The whole number ex
amined was thirty-six. One candi
date was rejected.
The whole number of days employ
ed by the superintendent in the duties
of his office, were fifty-four. The
compensation per day was $4.00.
Total compensation for the year was
$210.00, in county warrants, worth 75
cents on a dollar.

County Superintendent of Public In
struction.

THE AOE OF CHIVALRY.
Aeallr It in Now Mother than Vfn-

When we spenk of tho n'o tV

of Kuhliiner conriiKo and of more de

practical workaday world of to-day.

who rode iihont with a sipilre, rescuing

wrongs generally, wore very few. Tho

cruel one. Oppression nod violence pre
vailed, nnd human rialits mid Justice
were little regarded. Tovcrty whs

Ioor more n!jcct than anything v.c
know, nnd the richest enjoyed little
of the comfort which is to-day well
nigh universal. People were supposed
to bear tho Ills to which tin y were
born, and nil the efforts of a dozen.

We live In an iirc of chivalry vastly
expanded. Where there was one work
er for others In the kulghts' days, there
arc a hundred now, and chivalry per
meates the spirit of all the good causes
which enlist so many willing hnnds.
Between the tenth and fourteenth
centuries it was but In the bud ; now it

Vast of fruitage will come Jh"'-il
never was u time wlien there was su.-h
universal war against oppression of
the weak and helpless, when every
form of cruelty was so - indignantly
frowned upon, when womanhood and
childhood were more sturdily cham
pioned and protected, when the poor
and sick were so tenderly regarded and
cared for or when the lower animals
were made tin? object of such solicitude
and shelter from harm and suffering.
There never was n time when, at peace
ns we are with the world, there were
more constant exhibitions of quiet, mod
est, courngeous and splendid hero
ism than are constantly occurring in
the records of our dally lives. In all
sorts of- accidents by lire and Hood,
by the forces of nature, by travel and
by tho operation of great industries
there is always some one ready, gen
erally some unknown, unheralded per
son, to risk his life In order to save
others. If that isn't chivalry there
never was such a thing. We do not
yet by any means possess nil the vir
tues, but courage and unselfish devo
tion In times of stress are pretty good
to bind to. Washington Post.
POTTERY IS EASILY MADE.
Few Tools Arc epvnHnry Mini No
I numinl Skill In Iciilreil.
When one thinks of the numerous -possibilities
for adding beautiful decorative-pieces
of pottery to the homo in
the way of lamp bowls, candlesticks,
dishes for flowers or fruit and all kinds
of decorative jardinieres, it seems well
worth while to learn how to make these
nt homo.
Now that plasta, composite clay or
plasterlne can be obtained already pre
pared, requiring only the addition of
water, the making of pottery comes
within the scope of the most unenlight
ened worker. These compositions can
be obtained In cream color, terra cot
ta or In olive green, says tho Delin
eator. A few simple potters' tools a
hoard, rolling pin nnd water are the
only requisites. The material Is moist
ened with water and Is kneaded on n
board to give It plasticity. It is then
rolled with a rolling pin.
In order to make a small howl take
a lump of clay and work the knuckles'
Into It until It assumes the form of a
bird's nest. This will save a good
deal of shaping when building up the
Fides. Do not attempt to add too largo
a piece at first, or it will break off,
especially if the sides are high. Work
the small bits of cl.'-.v very carefully
Into the sides.
When the pottery made from plasta
Is perfectly dry it la Fent to n kiln to
fire. If the green, white or terra cot
ta are not Just the colors desired the
vessels can be colored with ordinary
tube oil colors moistened with turpen
tine and n wax finish given to them af
terward. This is reall.r a very practi
cal and easy method of getting what Is
known as n mat glaze.
Took Kindly to the Water.
Thoy tell this story of the experience
of two Maine boys In trying to catch
a woodchuek :
They had tried quite n number of
times to capture the animal, hut un
successfully. At last they decided to
down him out; so, procuring four
palls, each took two, and they carried
water for two solid hours and poured
it into the hole in the ground in which
the said chuck had taken up Ills abode.
Getting tired, they sat down. After
nliout half nn hour the woodchuek
cautiously left the-hole and deliberately
walked down to the brook nnd took
n long drink of water nud then scooted,
tuueh to the disgust of the two bovs.

then no one has seen the director.
