CENTRALIZATION OF SCHOOLS.
Under the Myers Law the Schools of a Dis
trict May be Centralized,
The Meyers school bill became a law
last week by the governor affixing his
signature. Under that act the schools
of any district may be centralized,
graded and conducted similar to the
schools of large towns and cities. The
law provides for the transportation to
and from the central school house of
all scholars, and gives country districts
an opportunity to inaugurate a school
system such as they are entitled to.
A similar law has been in force in
other states for several years, and the
results have proven most satisfactory.
The cost of maintaining a central
school is but a trifle above the cost of
supporting a number of district schools
and in some instances even less.
Many country schools are kept open
the required length of the school term
with an average attendance of but ten
to fifteen pupils. If centrally located,
the same instructor could teach four
to five times the number of scholars.
The law is not compulsory, but
where it is feasible and put into opera-
the measure will be found to

Benjamin Beaver, of State College,
died at his home in that place Friday
evening, of pneumonia, He was ill
but a few days. For about a quarter
of a century Mr. Beaver was employed
about the College buildings and for
years was chief jauitor. His kind
treatment to visitors and students won
for him a host of friends. Ben was a
familiar figure at the State's leading
institution of learning, and always
had a kind word for all. He was an
Odd Fellow and a member of the
Lutheran church. Rev. Alkens per-
formed the funeral services Tuesday of

Arbor Day
Arbor day was well observed by prop-
erty owners in and around Centre
Hall. Notably among those who set
out shade trees on a large scale, was J.
J. Arvey, who planted Norway
maples along the west side of Hoffer
street for a distance of nearly two
hundred rods, also along the front
of his premises west of Centre Hall on
Brush Valley road. The Cemetery
Association also planted maples liber-
ally, as did also the schosl board on
the front of the new school lot. Many
other residents planted trees on a
smaller scale. Centre Hall has many
pretty shade trees, and the arbor day
of 1901 added many to its list that will
be admired in years to come,
