School and Education.

The teachers association Of Scot
land gave its first program last
Friday afternoon. The meeting
was well attended by the citizens
Of Scotland. These meetings are
as much for you as for anyone else.
Come and inform yourself about
educational matters. You need it
as much as your neighbor.
This week finishes five months
of school. There are still sixteen
weeks left, and these are usually
the most trying for teachers. Par
ents will need to urge their child
rem to attend. Because a child
doesn't wish to go to school is no
sign that things are not INTEREST,", G
in school. Very likely the pupil is
tired out and disinclined.
Mrs. Miller has enrolled 50 pu.
pills. 1t is considered that 40 is
the limit at which any teacher can
do the best work. It is greatly to
the credit of Mrs. Miller that she
is doing her duty to the absolutely
complete satisfaction nf those con.
cerned.
We feel satisfied that our sys
tenn of demanding excuses for alb
sences is An effective one. Because
of this method we have detected
within the past months six cases
of truancy. These truants went so
far as to forge their own parents
names. Such deceit is punished
in this school with a plain, unvar-
nished rod.
Our Senior Glass has expressed
itself as desiring some prominent
educator to give a commencement
grafton, and to have in addition
the usual salutatorian and valedic-
torian addresses. A Senior Enter
tainment will also be arranged, The

nounced on all four of the men on
trial in Tyndall last week for rob.

5th. .sJacko" Wilson was the first
one tried, and was found guilty.
Burns was then arraigned and pied
guilty. Barton was tried and found
guilty Friday night. Carroll, who
has the brains of the outfit, then
tried to secure a change Of venue
but failed and a jury was empanel-
ed to try him. His intention was
to prove an alibi, but on Monday
morning when he was brought into
court and was confronted with sew
eral witnesses who we're ready to
swear that they had seen him in
Scotland and in Tyndall on the
day previous to the robbery, he
saw the Gig was up and he pied
guilty. Sentences were pronounc
ed on them Monday afternoon,
Wilson and Barton receiving four
teen years and six months each,
Carol thirteen years and six
months, and Burns ten years and
six months. Tuesday morning
they were all taken through here on
their way to Sioux Falls in charge
of Sheriff Garner aud three depu-
ties. They all seemed to be cheer
full and apparently felt that they
were going back home. The expe-
rience was certainly not new to
them as they are old offenders and
familiar with prison life. They
are supposed to be members of an
organized gang, and but for the
faithful watch that Sheriff Garner
and his deputies have kept over
them during their three months
confinement in the Tyndall jail
they would undoubtedly have been
helped to escape by some of their
pals.

never forgive you for running away. Why,
only day before yesterday he sent of
Benny, who used to weed the garden and
black the boots and all that-he sent him
off just because Benny pulled UP all his
best plants instead OF the weeds 1t was
rather stupid of Benny but, oh. dear, he
will be furious If he knows you've run
away"
Marion said Jack IN an eager whisper,
why can't l take Benny's place? Uncle
Williams never seen me. and I'll call my
self Robert and live here near you without
any one knowing the difference. No. it's
not wrong Marion, dear, for he never
should have kept us away from each other"
So IL was arranged and a few minutes
later, when Uncle William came downstairs
after his afternoon nap, he found a re-
spectful little boy waiting, cap in hand, by
the front steps.
Please said the boy, II heard you
might be wanting some one to help with the
garden and the horse and all that and I'd

with the modest air Of the applicant. He

now called, was installed in his new posi-

And so Jack stayed on, learning quickly
and working diligently rewarded by many
whispered talk with Marion when Uncle
William and Aunt Susan were out of sight
Indeed Uncle William was out of sight a
great deal, for most of his time was spent
In his den a small room on the top floor
not so comfortable the pleasant study
but quiet place, where he need fear no
interruption. Here he wrote and wrote, for
ne was preparing a book of sermons the
thing above all Others which he wished to
do all his life. And every day when he left
the room he locked the door and nut the
key IN his pocket, lest any one should dis
turb the precious pile of papers AS q mat
ter of fact the manuscript was held in such
reverence by the household that no one
would have approached within three yards
Of 1t, but Uncle William liked to feel quite
secure.
At last the whole book was complete and
Uncle William wrapped 1t up carefully
ready for the publishers. He sealed II with
sealing wax at each end, and then, placing
1t carefully on the table, went out to cali
on neighbortng paTishioner. But while he
was locking the door, as usual an alarming
thing was happening inside. When Uncle
william had lit the candle to seal his
bundle an unnoticed spark had fallen from
the match and ignited a small slip of paper.
From this another piece had caught fire. so
that by the time Uncle William was walk
ing down the road the tablecloth in his dan
was touched with fame

school. where, Uncle William considered.
he would receive the best training for
boy OF twelve. He had done this con-
scientiously, first because he thought it
best TO train children IN habits of indie
pendenCe and second because he and Aunt
Susan were not used to children and could
not possibly stand Two at once Indeed.
when Marion arrived he was not a little
surprised 10 find that she occasioned no
trouble whatever and seemed rather, to
cheer the old house immensely, but then,
he reflected, girls were always better man
nered than boys. and need not be trained
so vigorously. He gave no heed whatever
to Jacks letter begging to come to Hilton,
seconded by NIarions tinid entreaues. And
so Marion felt very sad as she sat on the
parsonage steps with nothing but Jose
phine her doll, TO remind her oI the old
life.
Dear oh dear" she said for the TWEEN
tleth time, how I wish Jack were here.
Just as she said IL the garden gate click

the path The great bushes OF box were
81 the way, so for some minutes she could
not see the visitor. Then he came upon
her suddenly. He was a boy, a very rag
ged boy. and for an instant Marion did not
recognize him. Then with glad cry she
rushed down the path and threw her arms
around him. Jack. oh, Jackr' was all she
could gasp. oh how did you get hereP'
'Walked. mostly" answered the boy. He
couldn't say much just then.

and for few minutes Marion and he talk

else. At last she said, But Jack what

will be dreadfully angry II he finds you"
That's what I'm thinking" Jack an

Phoebe and Polly.

Two little girls named Phoebe and Polly
went to live in a red and white house in
the country. Their mother gave each of
them dear little room with a bright win
cow, white curtains, plant, a book shelf
bed and other furniture, and said: NOW,
want each of you to keep your own room
in order. so that 1t will be plea sure to stav
in it"
The little girls were very happy, for they
liked their rooms. Phoebe was a. very neat
child. She busted her room every dav and
watered her plant and kept her books in or
der and mended anything that was broken
or torn and put away her things so that she
always knew where to find everything, and
her room was as dainty as a fresh sweet
pea.
Polly was different. She never bothered to
keep her room In order, and at the end of
the week 1t was all topsy-turvy, The plant
was beginning to wither, for it had scarcely
ever been watered. the bed was not made
the curtains were torn, the bureau cover
was spotted. for Polly had forgotten to put
1t in the wash, the books were Scattered and
some of them torn. the window was dirty
and, IN fact. everything was awry
=, On dear, sighed Polly to her mother,

Phoebe's. ! thought 1t was at first but
now I don't like to sit In it. It makes
me unhappy"
Polly" said her mother, why do YOU
suppose the grandfathers clock in the
hall is stopped?
Polly opened her eyes. What had tina
grandfather's clock to do with her room?
Perhaps because 1t wasn't wound up.''
she said.
That's just It," said her mother, eff
take only two seconds to wind 1t up In
the morning 1t goes all the whole day
long, but If I don't wind 1t up II doesn't
go at all It's Just that way with your
room. 1t needs only few minutes every
day to keep it looking nicely, but IL you
don't give 1t those few minutes It never
will look nice at all. The plant will take
care of itself all day If you only water
1t once day, in the morning and If you
put your room in order once it is pretty
cure to stay in order all day long"
Polly thought moment and then ran
off to her room. She made the bed, and
watered the plant. and mended the cur
tain and busted the shelves; she put the
books in order and mended the torn
pages, she put a new bureau cover on the
bureau, she Strengthened the pictures on
the wall, and she even washed the window
so that in half hour her room was all
sweet and fresh and sunny again. After
that she always spent few minutes every
