Hello, Central give me Mr.. So

night the refrain had been sung in
to her head until the impression
was stamped on the brain-aye,
burnt as if by fire-and yet she
must be rntiring, unceasing in her
effort to bring the great throbbing,
pulsating, gossiping world of hui
mainly in touch with one another.
Kings, Rulers, Presidents, Sena-
tors, Governors, doctors, lawyers,
ministers, teachers, farmers, me-

you have struck the keynote. Go
with me to the central Office. See
the long line of operators-girls
hardly out of their teens, earning
their existence by catering to every
within Of the public.
What is the telephone? One has
said, 1.-The vein of commerce" If
this be true, the central office is the
heart, and the long misjudged CEN
trail girl must be likened unto the
muscles which, contracting, cause
the blood to flow into each and
every vein and artery. Have you
given her one thought, except it be
how much may she serve you ?
Pause one moment, great busy
world, and think of her-even one
ot the least OF your children. Get
in close touch-just one heart-to-
heart talk. Throw formality, pride
and social status to the winds.
Speak in the language known to
the heart, wherein soul communes
with soul, with no one to witness
save Him who said, Judge not,

you will realize that the same God

Listen, then. When you call for

into me-, and that the King of

idea which appeals to us as being en-

the teput! superintendent should be-
an expert model teacher whose prin-
cipal business shall be TO visit
schools under the direction of the
superintendent, and make careful and
exhaustive observation OF the work
going on, and suggesting methods of
procedure by actually taxing charge
of the school work for such time as
may BE- necessary. Such expert model
teacher might find il desirable to re.
main ia school for one or more
days. possibly week giving advice
and direction, and in a quiet way help
ing 70 correct faulty methods If the
superintendent himself be an expert
teacher, possibly the deputy would
then become the Office helper, and the
superintendent would then be given
the opportunity Of giving expert sup.
erylsion TO the teachers and schools
under his charge. This suggestion of
superintendent Wenzlaff, if generally
adopted will do more TO improve the
rural schools than any thing that has
yet been tried. We commend il very
seriously to the attention of superin.
tendents. 1t should be acted upon
and the rural schools put upon the
same basis of supervision and helpful
guidance as the city schools. The
greatest difference in the past between
the city and rural schools has been
the lack of expert supervision in the
latter Now the opportunity has come
whereby the rural schools can be put
upon a practical basis of efficient.
careful and complete supervision. The
opportunity should not be neglected.

The people of White are preparing
for grand celebration on the glorious
Fourth, and If their past efforts is
any criterion it will pay everybody
with in driving distance to be their
guests on that day. The program as
arranged Is a fine one, and will in.
ciude everything necessary for a day
OF enjoyment. There will be races of
all kinds. ball games, ETC., and the
celebration will come to an end with
grand display Of fireworks in the
evening. Senator John c. Jenkins of
tnls city. Will be the speaker of the
day, and we believ the citizens of
White are fortunate In securing his
services, as they will certainly hear
something worth while. II is yerv
PROBABLE that good share of the
Brookings people will celebrate with

way 1t would result In much better
and more satisfactory service and
would probably result in a saving OF
expense to the county. At present
everything, such as supervisors re-
ports, treasury calls, bills and other
matters must await the bi-monthly
sessions. In consequence the court
finds mass of business on hand at
each session and much of 1t is of such
long standing that features have been
forgotten. BY having a session once
month the judge believes all busi-
ness could be cleaned upon in about
four days after which an adjourn
ment could be taken until the follow
ing month.
All Iof the other more important
counties of the state have provisions
for their courts to meet monthly.
