The preliminary trial of C. A. and
Bert Warner, charged with stealing
five hogs from Jas. Bell, ir., was held

from New Home township, and much
interest was manifested. Prosecut-

Der term of court and fixed their

Mt. Zion school house, in Mound
township, has been repaired and made
as modern and up-to-date as is posi-
bic without the building of a new
house. They have their OutbuildingS
in the best of repair and will soon
have a yard second to none in Bates
county. This work is all due to the
influence of one of the brightest and
most active and progressive teachers
we have, Mrs. Crowder. She also
has the reputation of keeping the
cleanest and most home-like school
room in the county. This simply
shows the result of the influence Of
one progressive person in each COM
munity.
Happy Hill school, in Pleasant Gap
township, did not wait for cleanup
day, but have cleaned up and are
ready and anxious for school to be-
gin. They have done much repair
ing, but did il early rather than wait
until the last day.
! Miss nellie Moore, of Adrian, one
of our best teachers, has just receiv-
ed five year state certificate. Miss
Moore will teach in CasS county next
year, because they pay better wages
than Bates.
This should not be true, for We
need all the best teachers here. Prof.
A. l.. Ives, of Butler, has just receiv-
ed a life state certificate. Mr.. Ives
made an average grade of 95 2-5.
This is a very high average for this
kind of certificate and only goes to
prove the ability and scholarship of
the holder. Mr., Ives has every rea-
son to feel proud of himself, and the
teaching body is proud of him.
Miss Elsie Park, of near Virginia,
was in town Monday to see about
some school work. Miss Park has
the distinction of making the highest
grades of any teacher from the coun-
ty, who worked for county credits.
This is an honor to feel proud of and
was won by persistent and well d.
rected efforts.
Miss Pauline Porter was in to see
Superintendent Allison Monday con-
corning her work. She expects to
grade her work and will do reading
circle work.
All Rich Hill teachers now in Rich
Hill attended the August meeting,
Rich Hill has reason to feel proud of
their teaching force. There is no
more wide-awake progressive teach
ers to be found,
Miss Mattingly was elected secre-
tary OF the county meetings for the
coming year and keeps a most excel
lent record.
Two spelling contests have been
arranged for the coming year, The
9TH and 9Th grade pupils contests will

People interested in school work
have offered suitable prizes and are
anxious to do something to help
arouse and keep up an interest in
education.
Supt. c. A. Burke is kept busy
these days answering questions for
pupils, who want to enter Butler
High School. The prospects are that
the attendance will be large. Out of
10 teachers in the Butler schools IL
have state certificates.
