Another way of teaching histo-y which the schools might adopt ha; apparently not yet appealed to them. A good newspaper, if the teacher knows how to interpret its daily record, tnay stimulate an interest in his tory itself. If th e pupil can be taught the continuiy and relation of even's, an awakened interest in daily happe ■■ ings will arouse a desire to tract them back through preceding stages It is the break in continuity between the past and the immediae pres? it that deadens enthusiasm. By studying history backward from the immediate present this chasm would be bridged and the passion for tracing effect to cause, stimulated!. —Boston Transcript. Jefferson township, Huntington county, is believed to be the only township in northern Indiana that has an endowment school fund which bears interest and which assists in raising school revenue every year. This fund was given the township many years ago by an aged resident who always kept at heart the interest of the church and schools. David Little, a pioneer resident of Jefferson township, died in 1874 and willed u> the township school fund $1,500 on which interest js drawn annually and applied to the expenses of running the schools. The interest amount's to about S9O a year and Jefferson township draws just this much more in the county distribution than any other township.
