There are about 14,000 school directors in the state, Mr. Houck says, and if each were paid fifty dollars a year it would take $350,- 000 out of the school fund, which he contends needs to be used in other directions.

It says: Immediately after a congregation has been dismissed the windows and doors should be opened and fresh air admitted, nor should they be closed until every vestige of foul air is driven out. To shut up a church at the close of service and thus permit the foul air to permeate every part of the interior is a sad mistake and certainly not conducive to good health. lt Where Columbus Died The house at Valladolid, Spain, in which Columbus died, is now used asa cow stable.
