stare superintendent, Howard A.
Glass; OF Jefferson City, will de-
liver an address in connection with
the Gold Medal contest under the
Chautauqua tent at Montgomery
City, Aug. goth, at 10 O'Clock a. m.
Seven of The rural graduates OF
Lass spring who won honors at
the local exercises, will take part
in this gold medal contest. Almost
thirty dollars in prizes will be
given to these contestants. The
first will be worth about ten dol
airs. There will also be some
splendid music on the program.
The seventy-four rural gradu-
ates Of last spring will be seated
ON the big Chautauqua platform.
Let all the graduates be there
promptly at ten o'clock. We are
asking the Chausauqua Co. to give
free tickets for the Saturday af-
ternoon program to the rural
graduates. We believe they will
do so. This will be a rare treat
TO the graduates.
We expect a great crowd, bus
there will be room for all under
the big Chautauqua tent. No adj
mission will be charged. Watch
for the program and the list OF
prizes in next weeks papers.
The August teachers meeting
will be held Aug. %, "a, rs. Teach
ers are required by law to attend
this meeting.
Lex school officers, patrons, pu-
pills and teachers remember clean
up day before the opening of
school.
Let's make this a banner year
for the schools OF Montgomery
county. To this end let us work
hard and faithfully for the best
physical, mental and moral inter-
ests of the boys and girls.

These teachers are working to
increase their efficiency, and de-
serve mention for it. 1t is indeed
gratifying to see this increased
interest among the teachers of
the county. 1t means better teach
ing and better schools next winI
ter. Many of the teachers are
studying hard at home, and thus
improving themselves as teachers.
Only a, few weeks now till some
schools begin. Let the directors
and patrons see that the school
buildings and premises are well
cleaned and in proper condition
before school opens. Look care
fully after the we'll and see that
the water is clean and pure. Often
much sickness results from i'm
pure drinking water at schools.
