The much talked of change in time
of trains on the Northwestern road
took place Sunday at noon. BY the
change the Observation-Disclosures
division receives the benefit derived
from additional train service and the
new deal is much needed improve
ment over the former schedule. 1t is
appreciated, too, and we trust il will
be permanent feature.
A new passenger train runs between
Madison AMI Galena via Montfort.
This train is made up at Chicago,
leaving at 800 a. m. 1t arrives at
Milwaukee at 4:55 a. M, and at Madi-
son at 7:40 a. m. A stop over of a

1925, making close connections with
the regular Galena passenger, Lancas-
ter bound. The Chicago-Milwaukee-
Madison train continues its course on
to Galena, arriving at 1925 p. m.
On returning it departs at ITO p. M,
arrives at Monttort at $40, making
good connections at this point again
with the Galena passenger on its re-
turn from Lancaster. Passengers ar
rive at Madison at $40 p. m, leave
at 6:05 p. M. and arrive at Milwaukee
at $40 p. m. The Galena train leaves
Galena at 7:25 a. m. as before, arriv-
ing at Montfort at $50 a. m. where
a stop over is made to wait the arriy-
al Of the Madison tram. Leaves
Montfort at 1925 m and arrives

earlier than before, arrives al Mont
fort at 3:35 p. m, awaits the arriva

Talks on School f1ffairs.

The simplicity of democracy is ex-
empllied in the annual scho0l-meeting
and duty to the school demands the
presence of every elector at that meet
ing. A great possibility rests upon
the meeting. a responsibility affect
ing not only the school. but also
through il the future of the commun-
ity. Many Of the most important
things connected with the school are
the subject of consideration at that
meeting, and should receive careful
and earnest attention. These are (a)
choosing officers, (b)hiring a teacher,
tho generally left to the school
board (c) changing the textbooks,
(d) purchasing apparatus. (e) looking
after the condition OF the school
house and grounds, and 10 voting
taxes
\ few words concerning each Of
these topics may not be amiss. Per-
haps one great factor, rctarding the
progress Of our schools is and has
been the election to office of men who
are either jealous of the advantages
accorded the youth Of today, or indif-
ferent to the welfare Of posterity.
Neither attitude is proper, aud what
ever may have been the past lot of
anyone, it behooves all to show a deep
interest and patriotism by electing to
school offices the most highly cultured
men or women of the district-those
who will raise the school to the high
est plane of intellectual usefulness.
Not only is this privilege and duty.
but also noble service to your school
and country.
Though hiring teacher is general
ly left with the school board, it is tn e
custom in few districts to vote for a
male or female teacher for the year
In many cases the teacher hired is a
young girl, immature, half trained
inefficient, and lacking in profession
al ideas and ambition. She has under
taken one of the most delicate, exact
ing, and responsible of all callings.
but has little experience in life and
little knowledge of the world or Of
human nature and its vital needs
Would you o"trnst tho preparation Of
a valuable diamond to an incompetent
workman? With one accord Won
answer, "No.n For equally good or
better reasons, parents, you ought to
demand tho best teachers obtainable.
Such teachers will not only do the
routine duties well, but they will al
so raise the school to a high standard
in government and discipline, and in
spire the pupils with lofty and noble
| ideas.
Another matter that often comes
! before the meeting is the question Of
furnishing free text books or Of chang
ing those IN use This is a matter re-
quiring the best judgment and care,
for the best books are frequently none
too good. 1t would be well to consult
your county superintendent regard
ing the best books, and adopt his
Judgment rather than your own He
should know the character of books iii
question and their value and fitness
for school purposes. Furthermore.

IN THE SOCIAL WHIRL.
Social Functions in Annapolis Drawing
to q Clsse.

Except those who have a day the year
round, there are no more days at home
tabulated for this season. This is the
last month of the season and will not be
nearly so gay as the preceding ones.
Early in the winter there was a great
deal going on, indeed. il was difficult TO
get an open date. but now the invitations
are much less numerous. at least for af-
fairs on a larger scale. This state OF
things is not unexpected in Annapolis
society, for II is customary TO have the
general entertainments eatly in the sea-
son, so that with one grand stroke, as it
were. one may wipe out all ones social
obligations. After that come the smaller
affairs. and one invites those particular
friends one really desires. 1t has been
said: The universal motto of modern
society is "quid pro quo" There are
those who seem to be an exception to
this rule, but they are usually bright.
clever men or women whose presence
alone is a return for civilities. II one
cannot entertain, one must at least inter
est or amuse ones entertainers or their
guests.
Society has been hanging on the edge
Of expectancy for some social function
on large scale at the Exc eu,ive Man
sion before Lent. but nothing is heard OF
such an occurrence upt this time. Here
toiore il has been customary for the new
Governor TO entertain the Judges of the
Court of Appeals and their wives at din
ner. the officers OF the Legislature. the
members OF both houses, and finally TO
give general reception. Doubtless the
illness OF Governor smith has been the
cause of no large social events at the
Mansion.
What has become Of the Colts Ball?
Every session the subject is revived, only
to perish in its embers. Has the age OF
chivalry become obsolete There are
more young members at this session than
ever before. and a colts ball. properly
managed would be an event long to be
happily remembered. Get together.
young gentlemen, and revive the old

tinction OF being society leader.
