EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
CONDUCTED BY
MISS RUTH BENNETT. COUNTY SUPP

The attendance at the teachers
meeting Saturday was very encour-
aging, nearly all the teachers being
present. We hope to enroll every
teacher in the county at our next
meeting. All, save few teachers,
have already purchased the Reading
Circle books and are much interest
ed in the work.
A defamation contest will be held
at Meade, Nov. 25th for the purpose
of selecting a contestant for the con-
test to be held at Dodge during the
Thanksgiving meeting of the South
west Kansas Teachers Association.
Each school in the county will be
entitled TO one contestant from the
eighth, ninth or high school grades.
The Reading Circle work for the
next meeting is the third and fourth
chapters of Putnam's Manual of
Pedagogics. Miss Haver will con-
duct the recitation.
1t is with deep regret that we learn
of the death of Prof. J. H. Jackson,
of Reno county, Prof. Jackson con-
Quoted our Institute here for several
years and was much loved by the
teachers of Meade county.

Ashland FIuked

We regret that the ball game did
not come off Friday as advertised.
We have refused to advertise ball
games recently, because of the unre-
liability of ball teams, and hereafter
we will be just a little more leery
about it. When ball teams agree to
go to a place to play ball they
should go. After the paper was out
telegram was received that the
Goats team could not be here
Ashland Clipper.
The Ashland team seem to be a
bunch of "fukers" also, as they had
a game arranged with Meade for
two weeks and last Thursday morn
ing our boys got a message saying
that they could not come. Our boys
had advertised the game and made
all arrangements to entertain the
Ashland boys and were greatly dis
appointed when they sent word that
they could not come. We agree
with the Clipper that they should go
when they say they will. We hope
the Ashland boys will redeem them
selves sometime in the future.
