Trustee AlcDaniel turned over $231.01, and the town of Walkerton paid $51.43. The object of this law is to preserve an equal distribution of school funds throughout the state proportionate to the school enumeration of each township. The funds collected from this township will mostly, if not all, be returned to the township in due time by the county treasurer after the reapportionment has been made.

The university extension movement is taking root in South Bend. The university extension system is one of the best means that lias ever been devised for reaching the masses in an educational way, and it is being adopted extensively throughout the country. The plan of the work is principally in the way of lectures, delivered periodically by professors who are sent out from colleges to localities where circles are organized for the purpose. Anybody can judge for himself whether or not water contains organic matter, says an exchange. Place a bottle half^ull of it in a warm place —not hot, but pleasantly warm, and let it stand, corked, for twenty-four hours. Then pull out the cork and smell of the bottle. If there is any odor at all, particularly if the odor is repulsive, the water is impure, that is to say, it contains some organic matter that is decomposed by heat, and is unfit for drinking or cooking.
