Perhaps it is not generally known that Jasper county is entitled to send two students to Bloomfield, and two to Crawfordsville, free of tuition. The County Commissioners select the students from the applicants, but as there have been no applicants, save one, three chances yet remain to the youths of our county. There is one at Bloomfield, Cicero 11. .Tatrnan, and none at Crawfordsville, leaving an opening for three aspiring youths, who desire an education that will cost only their board and lodging. We should like to see the vacancies filled.
