Tho old sot tier's association has uwuked to tho fact that tho early history iB fast slipping away from them and that something must bo done to gather up tho things which old timers know. Accordingly two prizes at least are to bo offered by the association to tho schools which do tho best work in local history during the coming year. The state historical society has also a prize to be givon next summer. Prof. H. W. Caldwell offers a special prize and J. Barrett announces that he will give Bomething also. It is expected that others will add to the list: Those interested desire that Lancaster become tho banner county of the country as far as collecting local history is concerned. Professor Caldwell addressed the teacherB of the county institute on the subject last Wednesday. He showed bow the children could be put to work. The advantago of tho study would bo very great as it was really the only study taught in thn country schools in which it was possible for the pupils to get at all things first band. It waa thus strictly in lino with the laboratory methods which aro bo much advocated by leading educators. All larger history depends fundamen tally upon local history and thiB local history can bo collected only by local residents. The children ot tho county are to bo raked to write articles upon the history of the Echool districts in which they live, describing tho organization, houses, grounds, district boundaries; also upon tho industrial history ot the districts, giving lists ot farms with ownership size, changes and characteristics of the people. They will bo encouraged to draw pic tures and make mups to illustrate local history. Relics are especially desired, Doubt- 1 FOURTH OF JULV RATES.
