Meeting of Township Trustees. South Beml Tribune: The county board of education held a meeting at the office of the county superintendent Monday forenoon at 11 o’clock. All of the township trustees were present except Moses Gordon of Madison township, J. N. Rupel, of Liberty township, and John W. McDaniel, of Lincoln, The minutes of the May meeting, and of the special meeting held August 6th, were read and approved. After the reports of committees were received, John J. Schindler, tiustee of Benn township, read a carefully prepared paper on “Trustees School Visits,” in which he urged the importance of trustees visiting schools, in their townships. The paper was' ably and favorably discussed by other trus fees. E. H. Pi flley, trustee of Green township, next gave a talk on “Township Institutes.” He believes in trustees attending and participating in these meetings. In this he was supported by most of the trustees present. G. R. Summers, trustee of Clay township, gave a talk on “School Libraries.” He favors placing a set of the Young People’s Reading circle books in each school. The discussion disclosed the fact that many of the other trustees shared his opinion. The indications are that the teachers will receive material assist >ume in the matter of prmmrmg books f?School libraries this "’"■•flic following resolutions were then passed: Resolved, That the public schools shall be closed on Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving for the week, and that teachers al tending the full session of the St. Joseph County Teachers’ association shall receive their per diem for both days of the association.

This will keep the air from it, and the melon will keep a day, almost as well 1 as before it was cut. A sheet of writ- 1 ing paper will answer the purpose completely. Begin slicing the melon at the end, and it will not require a large piece of paper to cover the cut surface, and the remainder will keep better.” Speaking of a former pastor of Walkerton, the Lal’orte Republican says: “As will be seen by notices in the local columns of today’s Republi- : can, Rev. It. H. Sanders has changed his occupation from that of the minL istry to another and possibly more re-

munerative business, merchandizing. He made the change on account of his wife’s health, which has been very poor for a long time. For more than thirty years we have known Mr. Sanders, and never heard him spoken of but in the highest terms of respect by all. If there ever was a sincere 1 and upright man, which adorned the • • profession to which he belonged hat . man is the Rev. Reuben H. Sanders, > and when he felt compelled to leave the pulpit, the Methodist church lost one o£ its ablest preachers.”
