CLEANED from the EXCHANGES

The board of education of Pulaski county, following the action taken in numerous other counties of the state, has decided that until the end o' the present school year the schools of that county will be in session six days of the week, in order that the pupils may get out earlier in the spring and assist in the spring work. Rains and thawing snow in Kentucky /early in the week swelled the streams emptying into the Ohio and did an immense amount of damage to steamboats and other watercraft tied up along the Kentucky and Ohio rivers, the ice floes carrying the boats from their moorings and wrecking scores of them completely. The public schools of this city are planning to hold school on Saturdays during the months of February and March in order to partially make up the time lost while the schools were closed on account of the fuel shortage. This arrangement will make the date for the closing of the schools May 31. r-Montioello Herald.
