DR.. Bennett At
Warrington
VISITED THE CITY SCHOOL AND
GAVE INTERESTING TALKS
TO THE CHILDREN.

Professor c. J. c. Bennett, principal
of the Fairmont Normal. was here yes
terday visiting the scnool and gave
some very interesting talks to the
children, says the Warrington Record
Mr.. Bennett Is a man of large expo.
rience in school work and comes to
the Normal well equipped for the posi-.
ton.
He has Travelled extensively over
the United States and is familiar with
the schools in the different States and
says that West Virginia is behind
most of the other States in school
work.
The country schools are not doing
the work they ought to do. because
they do not have trained teachers.
Everyone knows. who is at all famil.
lar with school work. that this is true,
end that the crying need OF the hour
IS for trained teachers.
Mr.. Bennett claims that the Nor.
nal schools were created for the sol,
lurnose of training teachers. and II
they do not do that there is no need
for their existence, and that you can,
not make them a training school un
loss YOU give them credit for the work
done by them.
\ Normal graduate who has takcr
4 prescribed course in teaching SHOULD
be allowed to teach without eXamina
ton.
Make the Normal school of thi.
county training school for teachers
and give them credit for the work done
and in few years we will have plen
ty of first class teachers.
The Legislature ought to attend tc
this at the special session.

THE WINTER WOODS.
((From the New York Sun.

(tFrom the New York SUM-
From out the sparkling, stainless
snow,
The gnarled trunks of the trees
arise;
Though wide. clear spaces lie below
The bare limbs touch toward the skies.
Unhindered stares the pale, cold sun,
The yelling leaves are swept. away;
Eastward fantastic shadows run,
Showing strange columns, old and
gray. i.
The primal silence of the world
Is only broken by the fall
OF wind swept branches, downward
hurled,
Or shy wood dwellers' timid call.
Here Time stands still-it looked the
same
Before Columbus sailed the sea;
Unmarried by AK. untouched by flame
Here nature stands alone with me.

Notice to School Patrons.

A class will be started in the first
primary, Monday, January 81, and any
child who is six years old or who will
be six by June l, is entitled to enter
this class.
Our school, up to the present time,
has offered eight years work in the
grades and each teacher has had charge
of grade, the grade being divided into
two sections doing the same work at
the same time, and all pupils were pro-
noted at the end of the school year.
Hereafter our school will offer the
same work one-half year in advance OF
the other. A strong pupil, who is will
ing to put forth more effort, will be
able to gain half a year now and
then. As il is, he must jump a year,
which in most cases cannot be done |;
while with the new plan he can pass
from one half-year to the other by
reciting in the same room to the same
teacher. Previously failure on the
part OF pupil to be promoted at the
end Of . school year, made 1t necessary
TO remain another whole year in the
old room. In the new plan he need not
remain moro than one-half year, thus
saving one-half year.
This plan Of graduation and promotion
is the one used in Minneapolis. St. Paul,
Albert Lea. Chicago and all cities where

was a member Of the Maccabee lodge of
this city and of the City Fire Depart
ment, and the latter organization
turned out in a body to attend the
funeral. There were a number of hand
some floral offerings. Rev. Peithman
spoke in the church in both German
and English languages and delivered a
touching discourse in either language.
He paid the fraternal organizations a
high compliment for the manner in
which they cared for the widows and
orphans.
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1908-01-23

there is sufficient number of teachers
This plan makes it necessary to make
room in the high school at the middle
of the year for about one-haf of the
eighth grade pupils and never before
have we been able to do this.
The above plan means closer classifi-
cation of all pupils and better work !;
and patrons should bear this fact in
mind, that the shifting of the classes
at the close of this term does not mean
yearly promotion and that those
classes which remain in their rooms
will finish their work and be promoted
at the end of the year the same as
before.
In case of any question or doubt be
sure to see your child's teacher or the
superintendent for an explanation.

THAT GOOD CANDY!
Minneapolis, Mimi,
January 2, 1908.
Friend

We received your box of candy in
time for Christmas To say it was fine
and that it was very much enjoyed is
expressing it mildly. 1t was the best
candy we have ever tasted. The choco-
late and bon bon creams were soft and
delicious-the tlavors perfectly lovely.
The card in the box says they were all
made in Webster. If Webster has a
candy factory which manufactures such
delicious sweet meats, our old home is
certainly to be congratulated, as we can
buy nothing here, in the city, to com
pare with them in flavor and freshness
Wishing you, and all our friends, a
happy and prosperous year in 1908.
Yours lovingly,
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1908-01-23

For those who object to mince pies
as usually made. on the score of their
being nOn-temperance. the following
excellent recipe is commended: To
three bowls of chopped meat allow
one bowl of suet. seven bowls of
chopped apples, three bowls of seed
ed raisins. three bowls of sugar, a
half pound of chopped prunes, a quar-
ter pound of shredded citron, a pint
of strong coffee, quart of currant or
grape jelly and tablespoonful each
of salt, cinnamon. allspice and cloves,
with a teaspOOnful each of mace and
pepper.
Add the liquor in which the meat
was boiled with the grated rind and
juice of two lemons and a little vine

Trick of the Chinaman.

p. One particular fact developed in the
course Of the trial in the Massachu-
setts superior court Of nine Chinamel
charged with the murder of one OF
their countrymen, and that is no
Chinaman when using a revolver lev
els it straight at a person or at an OBJ
ject. but rests the muzzle of the gun
on his left forearm. and with the right
hand holding the butt discharges the
weapon.
Counsel wanted an explanation, but
could not obtain it. and later a member
of one of the tOngs in the corridor was
asked for a reason.
Don't know why gun is used in
that manner" was the response, ''un-
less it fnsures more secrecy than the
American way. For instance, a China
man may wrap the gun in the folds
of his sleeve, leaving only the barrel
hole free Then a shot may be fired
when it would appear as though the
one who discharged the weapon had
his arms folded. There would be no
CLINT of steel and nothing but a curl OF
smoke 10 tell who discharged the
weapon"

most entirely to the larger towns. In
the rural ranch districts the Mexican
children are brought up with no
knowledge of the English language.
They have little conception of the
meaning of United States citizenship.
The public free school system of the
state extends even to the most remote
parts of the big commonwealth and
the Mexican children are placed on the
same footing as other children who
live in the more enlightened parts of
Texas. There are several public
schools in. the border counties which
are attended exclusively by Mexicans
The teachers of these schools are Mex
leans and some of them have no
knowledge of English. They conduct
their teaching in Spanish and their
pupils are educated in that language
alone. Cniy Ittle tots usually are
found in these schools. The school
buildings are small adobe structures.
