Our yonng people can do. no better than to attend Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana. This school has the respect of educators everywhere. Its credits are accepted in all the best institutions of learning. Its thirty-fifth year will open September 3rd. Several of the township schools will be discontinued the coming school year, where the attendance was 12 pupils or less last-year, as provided by the new law.

In Union tp., the Fuller, W ild Lily and Otis schools will be abandoned and the pupils hauled to other schools under contract, as the law provides. In Barkley, Snowflake, Kennedy and Randle schools will be discontinued, we understand.
