The Mothers meeting last Thursday
was pronounced one Of the best ever
held here. The attendance was excel
lent and the interest was good. The
themes under consideration were,
"How to teach children patriotism"
led by Miss Crow and Mrs. Chandler,
and "Choice of children's compan-
ions" led by Mrs. DR.. Wilson and
Mrs. B. s. Phelps. The discussions
were lively and helpful. School child
rem from Miss Doak's and Miss
Burns rooms sang beautifully some
patriotic songs. A motion that all
the officers hold over for another year
prevailed. After adjournment the
mothers served ice cream and cake in
honor of the teachers at beautifully
decorated table in the library and all
went home feeling like they had been
to party and very pleasant party,
too.

A. HI. Edwards says we are off in
our statement of history about no
mail clerk ever before having been
placed by the department on the trains
of either road running into Audubon.
He says that for few years after the
town started, which was in the fall of
1878, a mail clerk was kept on the
Rock Island train. The crew staid in
Audubon then, the train leaving here
each morning. That was generation
or so ago. We are glad to be corrected.

A Cure for Sssies.

One way for college athletes to earn

Chicago Inter Ocean. Wealthy par

Gated at home by governesses FIRE

fees of universities for the services OF
some athlete who can give their boys
five or six hours a week of compan-
ionship. They are afraid that the edu-
cation of goyernesses alone may make
their sons "sissifed."
A number OF athletes paying their
own way through the various colleges
have such jobs. Three or four morn
ings a week they go to the boys. romp
with them. play ball, and during the
winter skate and coast. Usually they
are also employed in vacation to stay
