Week An Excelent Program Beodered A large and representative audience of the friends of eduoation greeted the graduating class on Thursday evening of last week the commencement exercises of Pation public schools, held in the fine assembiy room of the public school building. The program, which was an excellent one, was well rendered and received by the aodienoce; es pecially is this true of the class of al seven graduates, and reflected great credit on the class, facclty and schools, showing the thorough and progressive work being done by that institution. The large attendance of parents and citizens at this, the first commencement exercises, was a source of gratification and encouragement to the teachers and directors, who are at times lead to feel that parents and others are not as | interested in the educational interest; of their children as they should be. Too much cannot be said in com mendation of the policy of our school board and their unselfish devotion of time and labor to this great work, which bss resulted in placing our schools on a par with any in the county, and in leas than flve years has estab. lished for them more than a local reputation for thorough, systematic, progressive sducationsl work. It is to be hoped that a policy showing such excellent results will continoe to control our educational interests, re suiting in still greater efficiency and success in the pride of our town, the Patton public schools.

Tree: fences, and considerable damage was sustained. The beautiful park known as Donneliy's hill appeared to suffer the most in this immediate vicinity. Nearly one-haif the large trees were destroyed, which will greatly impair the beauty of that popular place. At Carrolitown and vicinity the storm played particalar havoe to properties, A portion of the roof of the large mon- ast ry at that place was blown off and | nearly one-haif of the fences betwesn Patton and that place were laid to the ground.

SCHOOLS LUSE ONE MILLION Governor Stone Cuts the Appropriation Will hy Vetaing Portiome of It Governor Stone has reduced the aggregate of appropriations contained in the General Appropriation bill about $1,175,000 by vetoing portions of it. He has made a cat in the school appropria- tions of $11,000,000 by vetoing the $1,000,000 intended for the purchase of father's store on the corner of Beech text-books for pupils. He has also cut the appropriation of $260,000 to the State normal schools in two, allowing them only $130,000. Thess reductions are based on the insuffiviency of the State revenues to ment current ex- penses. On the presumption that the bill fixing the minimom annual salary of county superintendents at $1,500 would pass, $230,000 were appropriated for their payment the next two years This measure failed, and the Governor has recluced the amount to $05,000, no necessity existing for the original amount Liovertior Bone defends his culling down of the school appropriation in his veto message on the sabject. He refers to the fact that for 13 years after the adoption of the Constitution of 1574, only $1,000,000 were appropriated to the schools annaally, the minimom permitted by the organic law. Prior 1574, the yearly amount allowed wan Celestine J. Bialr, Celestine J.
