Ho Hays, "Wo have what In mippoHed to bo the free school system, and yot in Bplto of this proud beaut, thoro is scaicely a week goes by that parents are not forced to contribute for something connected with our schools. Children aro forced to ask for money for this and that, which must be forthcoming or they will consider themselves disgraced in tho eyes of the other scholars." This is false, and it any parents were compelled to contribute for "this and that," their offspring simply "worked" them for pin money. Soon after tho school term began singing books wero needed. Tho principal and teachers contributed liberally for the books and a collection was taken up in each room for the purpose of buying tho books. We understand that was the only time pupils were asked to con tribute for anything during tho term. Of course all the scholars who attended the lecture course during the term had to pay for their tickets, four good en tertainments for 15 cents each, and tho three commencement entertainments cost another 17 cents apiece. We un derstand tho principal reports the re. ceipU and expenditures of all enter tainments to the school board. We feel positive of one thing and that U that the article from the Rcyn oldsville correspondent will not have any serious effect on the school board of Ueynoldsville, for they are wise enough to see for thomsulves that Prof. Lenkerd has made a success of his first term hero, and that it would be a mlstako to luakeachango In the prlnclpalshlp next year, and wo don't believe tho school board has any intention of making any change, notwithstanding the iS'yii'Wf correspondent's earnest wish that they will do so. X. L. Strong, Esq., our present eflll' clent Distrlut Attorney, Is announced to-day as a candidate at the ensuing Republican primary election for ro nomination. Mr. Strong has proven himself the right man in the right iilaeo, his administration of the office being effective and economical, and we believe the Republicans of the county will recognize his worth by voting to give htm a second term. Urookvllle Jtcpublicatu A l-'ew School Notes. Now that, our schools have cIohciI we bi'lieve It would nut lie out. of place to mention a few facts concerning inne of the work done during the term: When our public schools began the term last fall a course of study, contain ing a twelve year course, was taken up, I'rof. ticnilcrd, who was elected principal, came to ItcynolilBVillo ami sH'iit two or three weeks in grading the schools prior to the nicnlug. so that no time was lust in that, kind of work after school licgau. This work was done without Hilary. The new system of notes of Inquiry fur tardiness and tihscnec proved agreat success. It reduced the tardiness to A minimum unci raised the icr cent, of litteliilnnee to tl.'l fur the entire selnsil up to the close of tho seventh month, and the per cent was belter than that for the last month. Ity rcfcrlng to the Slate Hiiicriutciiili. til's lai-t report, it w ill lie seen that the above average is i iinilli'(l by few district in the state. The iinlliiiils uf ili-cilini' ailiiptcil an' caleiiluteil to Itiitirove tne pupil tiiiiriilly, and tiiake him ur her morn manly or womanly a higher moral at musilicrc in the hcIiu iI mum - and the methods uf discipline which lire relies of mi-liarliaroiis civilization, and cal- iilali'd lu reduce the pupil lu a lower slate, were discarded. The principal held teachers' meet ings Very week in oriler that, teaeliers and principal cuiild co-uperate mure ITectiially In the work, and to secure uniformity lu methods uf discipline and inst met ion. I'he lecture course was successfully 'inducted and has, doubtless, been a strong educational Innuencc lu the community. I'rof. Alton ('. I.imlsey, the elocu tionist., was engaged to spend twu miinths of the term in sH'cial instruc tion in rending and expression. This kind of work by a specialist was a rare advantage. The good results of the work are very apparent in the schools. The principal made repurts to the In m l board at their regular monthly meetings of tho condition and progress of the schools and of all money received and expended for entertainments and tuition. I'rof. Lenkerd, who has tried to do his duty without fear or favor, came to our school board last year endorsed by State KuH'rintendent, five county and city suB!rintcnilontB, principal and faculty of a Normal school, Sic. Ho has received two degrees from the State Hoard of Kxitnlnation, in 1HIK1 Hachelor of Klements, in IHIKi Master of Elements.
