Tuoro aro upward of 200 corps in Pennsylvania, and it Is a matter of groat pride to our citi.ons to know that out of this uumbor the Tioncstu corps has been seleutod as the ono best lilted for this dolicato task. Our ladies have always taken great inter est in this work of love and patrioti&m, no sac: ifico of time and energy being too great for them to undertake in the cause, and on this occasion they will acquit thomsoivos with tho samo ability and ef ficiency for which they havo bocomo noted throughout tho State. Tho now sj-stem for the distribution of state school funds, which was devisod by tho last legislature, goes into effect on June U. It discriminates against the cities and other populous centers in favor of the countiy districts. Instead of divid ing the stato appropriations on the basis of tho number taxable in eaoh district. it will hereafter be distributed according to the number of teachers, tnxables and children. Under this plan tho districts will receive SG0.07 fin each teacher, f 1.97 for each taxable and f l.(i2 for each child of school ago, 0 to 18 years. The funds for this year bocomo available when the now system goes into effect. Treasur er Beacem will make the distribution at the rate of $200,000 a weok, preference boing given to tho small districts which rely largely upon the money they receive from tho stato to run the schools. The law providing for tho protection of black bass in tho streams of this Com couwealth does not fully moet the pur pose tor which it is intended, or in ether words the season when bass may. not be caught does not extond over that period of time when bass aro spawning and most need protection and are tho easiest caught. The law provides that no bass shall be caught between the first day of January and the first day of Juno, and the spawn- ng season docs not end until about the middloof the month. During spawning season the fish are easily found and may be approached without mceU liklihootV f their swimming away, and as a matter of protection to their spawn will bite almost on an empty hook. An amend ment of the Act relating to the catching of bass, salmon, piko, etc., making the opening day about one month later, hould be made, as one month's protoo tioh during tho spawning season would be of more practical value than tho whole five months for which the law now pro vides.

Tho thanks of Eli Berlin Post is extended to the speakers, the choir, the Band and to all who in every way con tributed to the success of the day by their labor and presence.
