This experience is like that OF all who

Salem Teachers Association Entertains
Members and Friends.
Monday at o'clock the Salem
Teachers association met in regu =
lar session at the East school, and
gaYe delightful entertain snt, at
which members of the school board
and friends were most agreeably en-
tertained. IN fact, the event proved
so pleasant that the thought was de-
veloped that similar meetings should
be held oftener.
Miss Margaret Cosper presided
with her usual grace, while Miss
Helen Griffith acted as secretary, thus
demonstrating their ability to
handle 'grown-up' folks as well as
the little ones in their primary work.
After all had joined in singing
America" twelve little girls from
the schools of Miss Griffith and Miss
Ballon, of Lincoln school, dressed in
white costumes, gave beautiful
cycle drill with decorated rings in
which good work was evlnced.
This was followed by one OF Miss
Nicklin's sweet violin solos, and an
excellent vocal solo by Miss Meta
Davis, of East School. Miss Griffith
next delighted the audience with a
recitation of humorous character.
Rev. H. A. Ketchum, of the Pres
byterian church, then made a few
pertinent remarks on "The Teachers
work"
At this juncture the company was
Invited to the upper hall, where the
remainder of the program was exc
cuted. Here a social session was the
order, and it'had been ably arranged
and provided for by the committee,
Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Kellogg. Refresh
ments consisting of ice cream, cake
and lemonade were served by quar-
tet of young lady pupils Of the 7th
and Sth grades, At the close of these
festivities, Hon. G. M. Irwin was
called to respond to a toast for the
teachers. He was followed in thought
full remarks by Mrs. Earl Race. Next
Prest. W. Fl, Byrd and Messrs. M. L..
Chamberlin and II. T. Bruce OF the
school board gave some practical
thoughts upon the work OF the
schools. After some interesting
statistics by County Supt. G. w.
Jones, City Supt. G. w. PEBBLES
closed with a brief but interesting
review of rthe years work. Among
other matters suggesting the great
need OF a competent drawing instruc-
tor for the schools. He thanked the
teachers and the board for their in
terest, and constant good work the
past year.
The spacious halls Of the east build
ing were: elaborately decorated with
roses, and the stars and stripes as well
as the Cuban colors were everywhere
in evidence. This was the work ot
Miss Miller in charge Of committee
of achers.

know the cause Of shortage, but says
many attribute it to the work of the

of the willy hop louise, and still Others
to the frost. He doesn't think hat

In Lincoln county the crop prospect
