The seventh and eighth year spell
ling contest was the best ever held
from the standpoint of good spelling
and that was the purpose in starting
this work. Those who missed the
greatest number of words did not un-
derstand the pronunciation of several
words as shown by the papers. Miss
Stella Nichols of Mulberry school won
first prize offered by the Walker-Mc-
Kibbcn Mercantile Company; Miss
Dovie Sims of Olive school won
second and Harry Mills of Woodland
third, Every pupil trying in this is
to be commended for their interest in
the work, and while they did not all
win a money prize they did all win
good name for their efforts and fair
ness in the matter and that is the best
thing at last
Miss Verna Chapman Of Fair View
school in Spruce township reports
the following pupils as spelling all the
words in the two weeks contest:
Samp Keirsey, Carrie Gray and
Marion Woods. Miss Ida Dillon Of
Wemott in Shawnee reports Alice
WiSherd, Elmer Wisherd, Clara
Fenton, Anna Fenton, Edith Ellis,
Amer Ellis, Marie Ellis, Blanche
Taylor and Jennie Taylor. Miss
Leafy Marsh of Liberty in West Point
reports Jennie Carroll, Halle Francis,
Claude Norwood, Stanly Norwood,
Paul Grey and Lillian Spurrier. Miss
Loe Reese reports that her pupils
were not satisfied with the first trial
and have started anew, so Seclinger
will be heard from later.
The Farmers Institutes will be held
the week beginning Jan. 10Th, at
Amsterdam, Rich Hill, Butler and
Adrian and perhaps Hume can be
added to the list. The Secretary is
rather slow in giving definite infor-
nation as to the order of things so
we may give particulars.
The teachers of Mt. Pleasant Read
ing Circle appreciate the interest of
the Doctors in their work and es-
pecially the work of DR.. Chastain.
DR.. A. E. Lyle has been especially
interested in this work and spoke to
me concerning the cooperation of the
Doctors in the work as soon as the
Civics and Health was adopted. lam
sure the sanitary conditions have
been greatly improved by the study
of this book; it coming at a time when
teachers are engaged in their work
and need to practice its teachings.
The Mt. Pleasant Circle will meet
again the third Saturday in January
and will take first five chapters in
Agriculture. We sincerely hope that
every teacher will attend, in fact, this
is a part of the work and while some
may feel that this is asking too much,
school boards have an equal right to
think of these things when they fix
the salary of the teacher.
