Countj' School Superintendent Robinson is sending out uniform eighth-grade ex amination questions for the examination of pupils who have completed the state course of study. The next examination will "be held in the schools having classes on May 21, 22 and 23. These examinations are held under the direction of the teacher and a member of the school board, and the manuscripts are graded by the County Superintendent and such .teachers as he may appoint to assist him. Diplomas will be given to the pupils suc cessfully completing the work, and will entitle the holder to admission to any High School In the state without further examination. Professor Robinson says that during his trips through the county he has found that the work Is being much more thor oughly performed than It was a year ago. The teachers, pupils and parents appear to recognize the value of regular gradation, and probably 150 pupils out side of the city schools will complete the state course of study. The grading of these papers, together with the clos ing exercises, will make the office of Count)' Superintendent a busy one during the next month. DRIVE TO BE 'WIDENED.

X.ohmlre and C. H. Carey the Driv ing: Association. The trouble having all arisen about the proposed change In the cemetery entrance which "would be caused by the "widening of the road at thit point, after a full and friendly discussion of the matter It was decided that the widening of the roadway in front of the cemetery en trance be abandoned. The road will be Improved to the width of 80 feet from Bancroft avenue to the bridge it the north boundary of the cemetery property. The widening will be resumed S00 feet south of the cemetery entrance, and from that point to the south boundary of the cemetery will be from CO to SO feet, as I permitted by the Cemetery Association, and the remainder of the road south of the cemetery will be made full SO feet wide. The circumstances are such that In order to widen the road in front of the cemetery, It would be necessary to grade back into the hill so as to leave a 40-fcot bluff In some places, and in others a corresponding fill on the east side of the road. This the Cemetery Association could not see their way to allow, and without making the cuts there would be no earth available to make the All, so the mile of road In front of the cemetery will be widened where practicable and all In terested will have to be satisfied.
