True Frlstoe, the Decatur boy, who for the past three montns nas been at Troy, Ohio, where he has been employed at the Orpheum theater as pianoist has entered into a new field in the musical line and has formed a co-partnership with a young Frenchman by the name of DeVai, of that city, and they, operating under the name of Fristoe & DeVai have opened up a school of music.

SHOULD THINK PRACTICALLY. State Superintendent’s Cotton’s Newest Idea. Indianapolis, Dec. 19.—1 n fifteen days John’s cow gave 63 gallons and 3 quarts of milk; how many pounds of milk each day did John’s cow give, and is that an aiverage for a good cow? Thus would Fassett A. Cotton, state superintendent of public instruction, have the school teachers of the fourth grades of the state of Indiana make the pupils think along practical lines. In his December bulletin, w'hich was issued yesterday to the teachers of the state, Superintendent Cotton suggests such a question, with, of course, some explanation as to how much milk is required to make a pound. The bulletin for this month is devoted al most entirely to impressing on the teachers the importance of using concrete illustrations when dealing with the subjects of arithmetic and geography.
