Educational notes.

Ut ~ AWia - - AHf.s
Most Of the schools are nov
getting near the end Of the sec.
ond quarter Of the school term.
Teachers should examine the
outline Of the course Of study and
ascertain if their work has been
Kept up evenly and 70 the desired
point The quarterly examina-
ton questions will he sent out
The first week in d ecember.
Teachers should not fail 70 make
record of the work each quar-
ter. This should be a part Of the
permanent records Of the dis.
trict.
The recent Teachers associa-
ton was a most successful meet
ing in every way. There were
$50 teachers enrolled out Of the
1917 employed in the county. The
work done was Of a high order.
Several Of the papers read would
do credit to the State Teachers
Association. All the lectures
were instructive and inspiring.
Doubtless all the teachers in at
tendance have returned TO their
work with renewed energy and
inspiration. There was a large
exhibit of school work done by
the pupils. The exhibit from
Hume attracted special attention.
Some of the rural schools had
good exhibits also.
The County Superintendent
has formulated a plan for Teach
ers' and Patrons Institutes to be
held in all the townships in the
county during the months Of De
cember, January and February.
The purpose of these meetings is
to bring about an educational Re
naissance and to bring the school
and the home into closer relation.
Let as find out what is best for
the schools and bring that to
pass. It is expected that pa
rents, school boards and teach.
ers will take an active interest in
this work and that much good
will result ~therefrom. A circu.
lar letter explaining the plan in
detail has been mailed to all the
teachers. The committees in
whose townships meetings have
been scheduled for December
should begin nov to make ar
engagements, Others need not
begin till later.
In spite Of all the difficulties in
the way OF the rural schools their
pupils do learn and acquire men
tai power. Pupils who are
trained in a country school, al
most invariably have a more in
telligent and comprehensive
knowledge of the common
branches than those Of the same
native ability who have come up
through the grades in town.
When the rural graduate enters
the town high school, be is nsu,
ally able to hold his own with his
class mates, often taking highest
rank in his class. Perhaps no
higher compliment can be paid
10 the rural schools than that by

Americans whom we know to be the
best sportsmen of the world appear 70
me strangely backward in two OF the
greatest sports IN the World-SkI raclIS

There are skaters. of cour5e-l nave

Ski racing, In billy country especially;

certainly there is no sport that calls LOT

SIGNS OF TIMBER FAMINE.
lChicago Tribune.l

The wOOdmen spared not the trees
whose ghosts now return to threaten us
with a timber famine. Whereas ten years
ago only the soundest ties were used by
the railroads, seconds and thirds are now
accepted by the purchasing agents. Red
oak. black oak. beech. gums, pines and
other soft woods, which once were con-
sidered worthless, are now treated with
creosote and other presentations for ties
cross-arms and poles This treatment
quadruples the life of soft wood tie
and will meet the demand for some
years. But shortage is in sight and must
be met by plantations. Maude Adams is
said to have planted upon her Long Is
land property 10000 locust trees, which
will make the best and most lasting tele-
graph poles and railroad ties catal-
pa plantation in Kansas owned by a rail-
road shows an annual net profit of S12 SO
per acre. The annual tie consumption
of a single railroad is about 20.000, 900, or
fully one-siXth of the total cut of tim
Der. Besides this are the vast drains
upon the forest for telegraph and tele-
phone poles. cross-arms and other uses.
At the present rate Of consumption the
United States will be bare of marketable
timber in forty years. The government
forest service offers substantial help TO
planters.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
Boston Herald.)


Ex-Mayor Thomas Strahan of Chelsea,
when passing a well-known art store in
Boston, saw in the window a handsome
painting which he admired. Upon in
quiry he learned it was to be sold at
auction at some later day, and made a
note Of the hour the sale was TO take
place. thinking if he was fortunate
enough to secure it for s65 he had just
the place for it in his dining room.
On. the day of the sale the ex-mayor
was a little late, and on his arrival the
stentorian tones of the auctioneer's voice
were heard saying:
II am offered 45. Who says 50?"
Mr.. Strahan promptly responded, Fiji

Mr.. P. bid So. The ex-mayor bid 60
Mr.. P. bid 65. The eX-mayor thought
he would go S. beyond the amount he
had intended to pay for the picture, and
bid 20. Mr.. P. then bid Is. The auc-
tioneer, after several vain efforts to draw
out a higher bid, finally exclaimed:
''SoId to Mr.. p. for 1915"
1t took the ex-mayor several minutes
to recover from the shock.

1t was a great jump. even for that steep

There are records everywhere in Nor

the hill. but it IS not the jumping, but

I think that when Americans learn
skiing it will be the greatest winter
sport in this country. 1t beats toboggap-
ing, and it is better than skating. There
are few accidents and little danger.
Skating seems to me to be growing IN
the United States-and will gain in popu-

with the great public skating places IN
your parks, there Is plenty Of opportunity
for your boys and girls to learn. The

yOungster, then at the PROSTATE PAGER,
valnly trying to unite himself from the
hobbies, and said in a clear, calm voice:
And what does Hiram say to do
now?'
People not on the inside forever are
thinking that in the horse racing game
the man doing the driving knows exactly
when his nag is good enough to win.
NOW the fact is that the best trainers
are fooled as often as the outsiders-if
they didn't they would have Carnegie
beat for easy money.
And they can play in harder luck than
anybody in the world when it comes
their turn. I'll never forget Dick Nc
Mahon and the PAGER Major Muscovite.
DICK got the Major to train because an
other jock wouldn't have him at any
price. He could break oftener and catch
at longer intervals than any other PAGER
in the woodland that means a lot. FL
nally Mcmahon, by combination of
skill and patience, made a reliable PAGER

l$O2 to trim the boys with him. couple
of times when he thought the Major was
at feather edge Mcmahon bet on him,
only to see his money evapOrate. The
last time ne played the PAGER seemed to
have no speed.
The next start was at ReadvilIe, and
the Major was stacked up against
pretty high class lot, including New
Richmond The Bishop, Dandy Chimes
Sphinx s., and six others that had pre-
tensions. On his previous bad showings
the Major seemed ready for the embalm-
er. But McMahOn told a friend to put
a small bet on for him that the horse
would finish third in the opening heat
He might do that" said Dick, but he
can't win a heat much less the race.
All this time MuscOvite was going for
SO in $500 pools, and it was hard work
to sell him at that. He drew an outside
place in the second tier, and when Frank
walker yelled Go" he had just made a
break and was dancing up and down
right under the judges stand Finally
the hopping ceased, and as a matter of
curiosity the friend that bet Mcmahon s
money timed the horse. From an absO-
lutte standing start the horse paced after
the others, a distance behind In the

well as one of the most patriotic of men.
Upon one occasion he was leading a regf-
ment on long and difficult march
Weary and exhausted, they halted for a
rest by the wayside. When it became
necessary to move on, the general gave
the order, bus the tired men remained
stretched upon the ground. The order
was repeated peremptorily. Still no mo-
ton. BY this time the temper of the
general was at white heat. He Numbered
out:
IF you don't get up and start at once
Til march the regiment off and leave
