CONDUCTED BY

MISS RUTH BENNETT. COUNTY svpr
August twenty-third closed what
was UNANIMOUSLY said to be one of
the very best Institutes in this coun-
ty. The teachers all worked hard
and were very much in earnest /
have never seen better work done.
/ believe we could not have sec
ured better instructors that Mr..
Winslow and Mr.. Sterba who did
everything possible for the help of
the teachers who showed their ap-
preciation in many ways especially
by presenting each with gold
watch fob.
On Wednesday evening the
students gave the faculty very
pleasant surprise by taking them to
a social in their honor at the home
of Mr.. Jacob Spect. The rooms
artistically decorated with the state
flower, music was furnished by the
Meade orchestra and at 1890 we
were served with dainty refreshments.
Everyone enjoyed it immensely.
We were certainly very much pleased
with the kindness of the students
and the spirit of good will that
prompted it. l am proudof the
teachers going out into the schools
this fall they are going with the
determination d to make a success of
their work and with the help of the
patrons of the schools, this success
is certain.
If you have a criticism of the
school go to the teacher talk it over
him not with the neighbors or pupils
honest criticism and honest praise
are help to any teacher and if
given kindly will be taken in the
same way.
1t is the duty of every patron OF
the school to visit at least once
during the term do not go in ane
stay just long enough to take the
minds of the pupils from their books
but stay an hour and as much
longer as possible.
Perfect attendance certificates
will be furnished the schools tni:
winter, this will be a great help t.
the schools especially the rura
districts.
We are fortunate in having
board of County Commissioner
who are anxious for educatioua
1 advancement.

experience in the business and the
fine condition of the. horses we saw
