At the meeting of the Board of Education Monday an order was. made that any children of the county in the sth, 6th, 7th and Bth grades might be excused from school to attend the County Sunday School Association, to be held at Rensselaer Oct. 12 and 13. Provision was also made that before the teacher would excuse such absence she must have written statement from parent that child was present at the Association on the day or days on which child was absent from school. This seemed a wise move as there will be several talks by men of national reputation at the Association; and it will be quite a privilege for the children to be present.
