To the People of Lavaca
County.


ly grateful to the good people OF
Lavaca county for their vote OF
confidence in my. ability to man
age the the school affairs of the
county. | have now served my
native state in various capacities
for over a quarter of a century
and have worked within doors
for twenty nine years. l am
glad I will now have an oppor-
tunity to spend at least part OF
my time in the open air in the
future.
When l assume the duties Of
the superintendent office l shall
devote my whole time and atten-
ton to the various educational
interests of this county, and |
shall subordinate all other in
terests to the best interests of
the school children.
When Prof. F. p. Guenther
was appointed superintendent OF
this county, he found the school
affairs in a chaotic condition.
He brought system into this
chaos by adopting a county
course of study and having it
followed. From year to year
since that time the schools have
improved until now they COM
pare favorably with the best in
the state, and the system pre-
vailing here is taken as a model
by many of the other counties.
Fl shall use my best efforts to
continue to improve our school
system, and / believe that the
teaching in our country schools
li-.l-l- iAa-as-s al 80 s>.,~es;i>ie
| If the pupil completes the county
course of sSudy-which he can
| do if he attends school regularly
| from eight to tifteen-hc should
know the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of citizen, be able to
write letter any business or
professional man, make out an
account, find the price of bale
of cotton or of cotton seed, work
interest, calculate lumber, meas
ure piece of land, to find how
many yards it will take to paper
or carpet a room, the number OF
shingles it will take to cover q
roof, the number of bushels OF
corn q crib or u wagon will hold
or any other ordinary problem OF
everyday life. Every country
boy or girl should know these
things when they complete the
county course of study. | be-
ieve, too. that it is more adj
vantageous to learn everything
thoroughly than to get smatter
ing and scattering knowledge o
too many subjects.
Next to the teachers, the trus
tees and other friends of educa
ton are the greatest factors il
helping the superintendent +
make his administration sac
cess, and l desire to say that
expect their most hearty &C
operation and support in in,
work.
'"For tile saving Ola little child,
And bringing him to his own,
Is much better business
- Than loaling around the throne
Hoping that with your aid,
will be successful in raising tn
educational standard of Layac
county to a still higher level
L Yours sincerely,
WILLIAM Err .ERS.

Hard to Understand.

Surprising some one should spring
this on you rapidly and ask you what it
meant: "Mare-zeat-toat -toats-
lam-sleativy-lit-ti e-kid-slea- tivy-too."
You would never think it was plain
English. but it is. 1t is simply: MARES
eat oats; deers eat oats; lambs III eat
ivy; little kids II eat ivy too"
You should say this over many times
to yourself until you can roll it off
very quickly. run the words together.
and then when you try it on your
friends they will have to confess that
they can't understand it. They will
feel quite foolish when you show them
that it is common English and that it
sounds odd only because the words are
spoken fast and run in together. 1t is
this running Of the words in together
which makes it hard for foreigner to
understand our languag &c or us theirs:

himself emperor Of all the world. and

A Dream and It's Sequel,

I'm one Of the East Indian border
wars there was engaged an officer Of
high repute. the member Of an ancient
county family" says Mrs. Mayo in
"Recollections Of Fifty Years." One
night the laird. its head. started from
his sleep, exclaiming:
"There's the shot that has killed my
brother!
His wife told him it was but a
dream. He must have given an anx-
fous thought to his brothers before
going to sleep. Next day the pair
were in the garden directing their gar
deners when the laird suddenly ex-
claimed:
"'Do you hear the bagpipes?'
"'No.' answered the lady L can
hear nothing. am sure there is no
sound
"'Strange.' said the laird, for I can
even hear what is played. 1t is 'The
Flowers O. the Forest Are A. Wefe

"A few hours later came the tele-
gram reporting that the brother had
been shot down by some border war
rior and over his lonely grave the men
of his regiment had played the pa
thetic air whose mysterious echo SEEM
ed to have reached the laird.''

Shakespeare's Definition of Poetry.

What a pity it is that Shakespeare
ever used that phrase fine frenzyw
1t has become a fuddlesome factor in
the framing Of foolish fancies. 1t is
to the honor Of Shakespeare, however,
that he came nearer to giving the
world the true definition of poetry than
has any other man, for he did explain
what constitutes the true art of poe
try making. and from this we are en-
abled to know what Shakespeare con-
sidered poetry. Curiously enough, it
Is in the very passage where Shake
speare uses that unfortunate phrase
zine frenzy" Let US quote:
The poets eye, in a fine frenzy rolling
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from
earth to heaven.
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms Of things unknown the poets
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy
nothing
A local habitation and name.

England's Greatest Mine Fire.

The most serious colliery fire ever
known in Britain was undoubtedly
that which broke out at the Tawd val
ley mine, near Preston, in 1872 Thou
sands Of pounds were spent in trying to
get the flames under control. but they
overcame; everything and consumed
some millions Of tons Of coal. A wall
ten feet in thickness was built round
the affected parts, but the heat cracked
the masonry and brought it down as
fast as it was rebuilt. However. in
1897 the river Tawd overfowed its
banks and went pouring down into the
mine No fire could withstand such an
immense volume of water hurled upon
1t, and, although the flames. extended
for 500 yards. they we're quenched
after having ragged for quarter of a
century. Tt-Bits.

How Plants Remain Uprioht.

If fowerpot is laid on it's side the
stalk of the. plant growing in it grad.
ually curves upward until it resumes
the vertical position. This is called
geotropic curvature, and the question
Is by what means the plant is stimu-
lated to change it's direction of growth.
One theory AYERS that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the low
er side as the position is changed and
by their pressure influence the mech
anism of growth.

PREACHING Monkeys,

The author of The History of Bra
zil'' tells of species Of monkey called
"preachers." Every morning and
evening these monkeys assemble in
the woods. One takes higher posi-
ton than the rest and makes a signal
with his fore paw. At this signal the
others sit around him and listen. When
they are all seated he begins to utter
a series of sounds. When he stops
these cries he makes another signal
with his paw. and the others cry out
until he makes a third signal. upon
which they become silent again. This
author, Mr.. Maregrove. asserts that he
was a witness to these preachings.

The Devil of the Desert.

1t is not generally known how a devil
rides camel. but Mr. Hans Vicher &C.
quired the information and imparts it
In his volume. Through the Sahara"
One night camel suddenly ran amuck
Other camels followed suit and a gen.
eral panic ensued. "The frightened
yells of my escort told me that a ghool.
a wicked demon of the desert. had
seized the camel. 1 was told how these
evil spirits sometimes took a fancy to
mount camel: the camel would then
look to see who was digging it in the
ribs. and, perceiving no one. fear would
grip it's heart. for then it knew that
the devil was on it's back"
