THE TEACHERS CONTEST.
Miss Yard Has Developed Unusual
Strength and Leads the Pro.
cession by a Good rIar-
gin--ScOre Today,

The teachers contest continues to
develop in interest and the friends of
the leading candidates are at work
for their favorites. The vote has
been unusually heavy during the past
few days. Several of the leaders
have received over a hundred votes
each per day, and for three days the
total vote has amounted to about one
thousand day. Holiday trade is
beginning in earnest and many persons
are attracted to The City Book Store
to buy Xmas presents and help their
favorite teacher secure one of the
valuable prizes.
On Saturday Miss Yard received a
heavy vote and surged past several
others to the head of the list, which
place she still holds. Several others
are close and are pressing hard for
first place. Last week Miss Rudolph
led; the week before Miss Mack; and
now Miss Yard. 1t would be diff
cult to predict who will be in the
lead week hence, and more difficult
still, to pick the winner of the $2E
Camera. Friends of half dozen oi
the teachers are quite sure that the
final result will place their favorite
in the lead.
The one thousand mark has beer
almost reached and by Saturday nigh
it is safe to say it will have been pass
ed by half dozen of the leaders.
The score as it stands today is:

Our Weekly Sermonette.

Following is an extract of the ser
mon delivered last Sunday by Rev. W..
J. Fisher, of the Cumberland Presby-
terian church.
Text, Il have no greater joy than
to hear that my children walk in
truth" Ill John, a.
Teach your son and daughter truths
that will stand the wear of time.
Solomon's words, Train up child
in the way he should go, and when
he is old he will not depart from it, !"
is very true. But in order that he
should not depart from it, it must be
way which, when he is old he finds
to be gaod for him as it was when he
was young.
Saved before lost" should be the
motto of home, school. and church.
No time in the life Of human
being is of such Importance as the
first twelve years. What the boy or
girl is at that age, 80 far as moral
character, as m ,ral or immoral ten
dences of soul are concerned, they
will be more or less through life.
You can not begin too early to
teach that there are some things
better and greater than the material
things we can see or teach. Good
ness, kindness, unselfshness, fairness
these are better things. But the
best types of these our children should
see in us.
Are you fractions, high tempered
rough, severe, scolding right ant
left? Your children will do the same
On the contrary do you live before
them kind, manly, and truthful life
They will likely live such lives.
The devoted Hannah lived again in
the noble Samual whom she dedicated
to the Lord. Faithful, trusty, received
that instruction that made him the
Jealous man of God he was at the
knees of Ennice, his mother.
How do you instruct your child
Is it in the things that build strong
character? is it the word and way
of life?
Many, l know, are being taught
the ways of fashionable society, but
the greater things of truth, goodness
an righteousness are neglected.
No sadder comment on the life OF
some of our homes than our Curfew
law, when civil authority must step
in to control, in a measure.
Do you not care where your boy is,
not care what he learns, not care
what temptations he encounters, not
care that he should be on the streets
nightly, going gradually into the way
of sin?
The text speaks the desire of a
noble man, such is your desire, is it
not?
Then father, mother, give to your
children the example of true Christian
lives; train them in Gods fear; make
home joyous, attractive, because
Christ dwelleth there, and then shall
they rise up and call you blessed, and
they too walk in truth"

United States Senator Davis in a
speech recently uttered the following
truth about newspapers: Every
year our local paper gives from $500
to 1000 in free lines for the benefit
Of the community in which it is To-
Gated. No other agency can do or
will do this. The editor in proper
tion to his means, does more for the
town than any other man; and in all
fairness, man with man he ought to
be patronized, not because you like
him or admire his writings, but be-
cause local paper is the best in
vestment community can make.
1t may not be crowded with great
thoughts, but financially it is more
of benefit than both preacher and
teacher. Today editors do more for
less pay than any other men on
earth. I'atronize your home paper,
not as charity, but as an invest
ment."

the club has been studying the i'm

groups; the West Indies, the Hawaiian
Islands, the Philippines, Madagascar,
and the Baitish Isles. This meeting
concluded the study. The geography
lesson on the British Isles was ad-
mirably led by Miss Winifred Brown,
and an excellent paper was read by
Mr.. L. Z. Smith, Miss Phelps gave a
piano number from Gluck's Iphigenia

story, "a Knight of the Nineteenth
Century" and the second chapter was
read by the secretary. Each member
is expected to write his chapter in
turn, according to numbers previously
drawn, without the club knowing the
the authors identity. 1t was decided
to change the line of work to the
study of Shakespeare and to take up
Hamlet in January. The Circle will
hold social meeting on the evening
of Dec. 20. at the home of Miss
