Consolidation and centralization of rural schools Is strongly adoenlrd by Superin tendent Kowlcr. In a circular letter which hn will soon distribute among school directors, Mr. Kowlcr discusses the many fid vantage of tho proposed system, which he declares Is niado ro slhlc by a "aw pafs-u by Iho last legislature. The letter. In part, follows. TIiIh department urges upon you the Im portance of studying nnil observing the lehool law In (be tninsartlnn of your olllclal hu!.lncs.

Tho rmnunl meeting must vote on Iho queti. tlon of tho establishment of an adjunct dis trict In the county for free high school priv ileges, in nil districts not approved by this department us free public high school dls trletn. There Is a now law on teacher's con tract; n new compulsory attendance law, requiring a new data In tho census report; a new law which removes the six-mile limit In hu formation of school districts; a new Inw which makes It the duty of school nfllcern lo attend business meetings called by tho county superintendent ; and a new taw compelling teachers to attend Insti tutes. These new laws Increase the duties, the responsibilities, anil the opportunities of school olllcers, Tcxtlionkn nml Supplies. L'nder our present free textbook law, this subject Ih oi,o of great Importance. I5x perlciico proves that, where, proper care Is orclsod by the school board and the teacher, this law Is popular and satisfac tory; but It becomes n detriment and n nuisance whenever pupils carelessly soil, nark, deface, or destroy the books, See that teachers appeal to the pride of their pu pils; that they Insist on habits of neatness tod cleanliness; that they make a regular Inspection of books, nt least once a month no other agency Is moro effective than a regular book Inspection. We urge upon ichool olllccra the Importance of furnishing tllfiC.;. vI""Lh,. Willi. UP: to-'lute textbooks. You should no more expect pupils and teachers to work with textbooks that are behind the times than you should think of throwing aside the celf-bluder or check rower to tetiirn to tho Implements used by your fathers. .Modern textbooks aro as necessary us modern farming Implements. Beo that your school Is properly furnished with natural slato blackboards, charts, maps, globes, dictionaries, nnd two or throo magazines and pel ludlciils. The slato black board Is the. best nml cheapest In tho end.

No beauty can last under the strniu and drain of female weak ness, front which the majority of women suffer in a greater or less de gree. They might preserve their fair ness of face and form if they would cure the disastrous diseases which affect the woman ly organs. Women arc cured of such diseases by the use of Dr. I'icrcc's Fa vorite Prescrip tion.
