Letters to Country Teachers.
to you this week is. BE A MAGNET.

10 you this week is, BE A MAGNET.
Bad weather and worse roads are
coming on. Your school house may
be cold. There is more danger of
sickness. But you must be a mag
net. Draw the children to you by
the power of your character and en-
thusiasm. Realizing that magnetic
power increases as the square of the
distance decreases, get close to the
children and the parents by going to
their homes, talking of the value of
education, of the poor chance the
uneducated boy and girl have in life,
of the importance of being regular an
thorough in school II your magnetic
power is not strong enough to draw,
increase 1t. You can do it by con-
tact with good books, and inspiring
articles in educational papers-great
magnets which will give off their
power to you. Or better than this
let the electrical power Of your own
thoughts and OF love for the boys
and girls play about you until you
are a magnet of such power that
you simply compel the children to
come.
II you can not do this you are not
iron or steel at all, but only power
less clay and should not be in the
school room. II your attendance drops
down and down until you have but a
handful, do not blame bad weather,
bad roads. poor house, Indifferent par
ents, but blame yourself, for your
love of your work and longing TO
help the boys and girls about you
should make of you magnet which
would attract in spite of these diff
culties.

MAGNETS.

You all have seen horseshoe mag
nets. have you not? They are very
simple little things, just pieces OF soft
steel bent into a horse shoe shape.
That is all that you can see. In fact
the shape has no particular signifi-
canoe, for straight bar or one Of
any other shape may be a magnet
Just as well.
Bring the magnet near TO a small
nail or other bit of iron or steel, how
ever. and you will see something that
should fill the wisest of us with
wonder. The bit of metal jumps like
a thing alive and clings to the mag.
net so tightly that it can not be
shaken off. What does it? All, that
is where we must wonder for long
while. No one has ever been wise
enough to fully answer the question.
We know that an electric current
causes things to become magnetized,
and we know what things magnets
attract and how they act; but know
what magnetism is, is a secret.
The drawing power of a magnet af-
fords a great lesson 20 teachers. how
ever, and that lesson l wish to point
out. Before a piece of steel can be-
come magnetized it must come in con
tact with another magnet or a mag
netizing electric current. 1t cannot
magnetic itself. Then as to its attract
ing power we find that it increases
as the square of the distance decreas-
es. That is a nail 1 inch from it will
be drawn not twice as much as one
two inches away, but four times as
much.
The greatest thing which can say

WHICH AND why

Which travels at the greatest speed,
heat or cold? Heat for you can easily
catch cold.
Why is a spider a good correspon-
dent? Because he drops a line by
every post.
Why should the male sex avoid the
letter A? Because it makes . men
mean.
Why are people who stutter not 20
be relied on? Because they are al
ways breaking their word.
What is the difference between form
and ceremonies? You sit upon one
and stand upon the other.
In what color should a secret be
kept? lnviolate lin violet)

Reports of the executive committee
Of the Sixth District Farmers Short
Course held at Centerville February

meeting Of the Young Mems Business
club last evening. They show the

and otherwise and that the merchants

the course sufficiently to secure one

county organization, distlnctlvely
apart from the Sixth District organ
1Zation. This will be necessary, be
cause it has been stated that the
place of meeting next year will be IN
some other COUNT of the district.
In speaking of the success Of the
school, it was stated by the officers
that farmers had taken greater in

and stock animals as the result OF the
school 1t is believed the crop In
Wayne county this year will be the
banner one of the cOunty's history. II
such prove true, the farmers and
members of the executive committee
state that it will be a result of the
course of instruction given at Center

Several of the prominent members
of the school urged on by business
men of Richmond, believe it would be
profitable for the Wayne county
farmers to break away from the Sixth
District organization and form coun
ty school. The course of instruction
If this be done will be the same as
given in the district school and will
no doubt be given by the same in
structors, including Prof. Christie
and Prof Cochel of Purdue university
These men would be assistedsby field
men from the Indiana Corn Growers
Association. In addition to corn and
livestock, domestic science would be
included in the instruction. 1t is be
lieved that instruction should also be
given In the proper method of select
