XLV. NO. 13
For years the the schools of East
Donegal have been noted for their
excellence. The people of the dis-
trict are intelligent and progressive,
and they have insisted upon having
good schools. In his visits the Super-
intendent saw much that was highly
satisfactory. As a rule, the buildings
are in good condition. The teachers
are well supplied with necessary ma-
terial. Supplementary matter for the
classes in reading is found in the
schools. The reading of the schools
is good and the Directors are to be
satisfactory results in that important
subject.
At Florin Miss Margaret Raymond
and Miss Katherine McCulloch are
giving the children training in vari-
ous forms of manual work. In the
secondary room the pupils are knit-
ting for the Belgian children. The
singing under the direction of Miss
McCulloch deserves special mention.
The soft, sweet tones of the children
is a contrast to much of the singing
heard in the county. It is a pleasure
to be permitted to listen to such
singing.

The Franklin school has 57 pupils
enrolled. Mr. Warren F. Gish has
charge of the main room, and he is a
strong teacher. The class room
teacher is Miss Harriet Egan. At
Fairview only ten pupils are found,
but under the guidance of Miss Grace
Henderson the children are doing
creditable work.
All the Maytown schools are in ex-
cellent condition. The teachers pos-
sess skill as instructors, and they are
well equipped for their work. The
reading in these schools is especially
noticeable for commendable features.
The High School has a capable corps
of instructors, and the Principal,
Mr. J. A. Campbell, is a teacher and
executive of ability. His fine schol-
astic qualifications make him a true
leader of young people.

| OFFER OF $68,000
The directors of the Lancaster, Eli-
zabethtown and Middletown turn-
pike, at a recent meeting, decided to
lay before the stockholders the pro-
{ position to sell the turnpike to the
State and county for $68,000. This
does not include the machinery, toll
houses and other property of the com
pany. It is practically certain that
the offer will be unanimously accept-
ed
The sale of this turnpike will open |
the whole upper end of the county
of Lancaster for trade. Now on ac
count of the toll charges much of the
business of the upper end goes to
Harrisburg.
It will require a large sum to purch |
ase five toll roads in Lancaster Co. |
Half of the sum has been set aside |
by the State Highway Department
and a similar sum by the County
Commissioners. This company is the
first to lay the matter before its
stockholders. The road has a history
linked very closely with the history

Much Valuable Information in Mount

Everybody is most cordially in

20th t lhe school will star

The basis for this school is purely i
ed ] rotten up witl
the view of | acquainting the
tractor owners and those interested
in tractors with the mechanical con
struction of the machine, the design
maintenance and repair of tractor:
and engines, what takes place inside

sary to fol

low certain instructions, the symp-
toms that indicate approaching
trouble, how to make minor repairs
and adjustments, or in other words,
that they might understand the inside
of the tractor or engine as well as
the outside and thus become quali
fied to detect approaching trouble
and remedy it, and thus save time
and expense to themselves.
It was suggested that there are
many farmers throughout the coun
try who want tractors but do not
feel that they are familiar enougl
with the tractor. With this educa-
tional feature in view we extend the
invitation not only to tractor owners
but to those interested in tractors as
well.
Nothing whatever will be offered
for sale at this school, so you can
feel free to come and ask as many
questions as you may desire. Ther¢
