"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.

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.

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.
Ho is now pursuing a course which will
confer iiMn him tho degree of I'll. 1).

A decision was rendered last Thurs
day at Franklin, Pa., by Judge Oris well
in a case that is attracting the at tention
of the county commissioners in nearly
overy county In thd Stato. The com
pulsory educational law cf May 10, I8!",
calls for the enumeration of all children
between the ages of 8 and l.'l years by
the county assessors and fixes tho
amount they shall receive for tho work,
but does not state from whom they shall
reoulve comiiensation. John H. Mc
pherson, assessor, brought suit against
Venango county to recover for such
work. Judge Crlswell decides that as
the county pays assessors they should
also pay for the enumeration of the
children.
