Isaac Franklin Smith was

born three children, one girl and
two boys, who with the wife sur
vive to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Smith was a wei known,
energetic farmer, respected and
loved by all who knew him. He
was kind and indulgent father
and husband, never negligent of
his duty. OF him it may be
truthfully said that no man was
his enemy. His great heart low
ed all mankind and by them he
was loved. To him there was no
place like home. In his last sick
ness his only care was for his
loved ones and his heart yearned
for his distant home.
Mr. Smith united with the
Methodist church at the age of
10 years and remained an active
member until his death. For
thirteen years he was class lead
er of his home church at Brow

Golden Belt Meeting.

The meeting of the Golden
Belt Educational association at
Oakley last Friday and Saturday
was the largest in the history of
the association. the total enroll
ment reaching 211, or one more
than the number enrolled at Wa
Keeney last year. The number
enrolled from Trego county was

first meeting being about one

In small gatherings often the
individual receives more bene-
fit than in meetings that draw
from larger territory. This was
the case at the gathering of the
teachers at Oakley. The benefit
for the individual was still more
intensified by the division into
departments. Each grade had
its special program where the
plans adapted to that grade were
| discussed.
/ hoSeintereStedin in High School
work were delighted with the
enthusiasm shown at the High
! School round table The papers
were to the point and made one
restless to put some of the sug-
j geStionS into practice. Every
teacher entered the room feeling
that their department was the
all-important thing. But on
hearing the other lines of work
discussed and their benefits and
aims presented, it became evi-
dent that their work was only a
part in an Interesting whole.
The paper on zoology empha-
sized the Importance of being ac-
quainted with the animal life
about US and that all the great
types are found in our midst.
Among many indirect benefits
of the study of Latin Miss Yer
mond showed that Latin saves
many times more time than is
given to it's study by the grasp
it gives student of the words of
our own language. Hours over
a dictionary would not give an
equal knowledge.
All departments of High School
work were discussed in the
most interesting, inspiring man
ner. The earnest exchange of
thought following the reading of
the several papers reminded one
of physicians consulting. Every
teacher will return to his work
/ filled with desire to do better.
