BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS.
By County Superintendent P. M. Allison.

By County Superintendent p. M. Allison.
Several boys have enrolled in the
contest this week, and we are conf
dent others will do the same way in
the next few days. We have decid-
ed to close the enrolment in this July
LIST and after that time no name will
be entered in the Farmers Bank and
Duvall-Percival contest. Those that
are being made up in the different
townships are to be governed by
those in charge. Every township is
represented in this except Rockville,
and it is to be hoped that some boy
down there will come to the rescue
and make this unanimous. The peo-
pie who are offering this money, are
doing so with the hope that the boys
on the farm will be benefited by it,
and probably interested in their pres
ent surroundings and induced to take
up farming as their occupation in af-
ter life rather than drifting to the
cities as most of them do. People in
general, throughout the rural dis
tricts, are coming to realize more and
more that our schools have been
educating the boys and girls away
from the farm rather than for it. The
time is here when our schools should
provide training for the occupation
that the pupil will engage in when
they have finished school. This con-
test was intended to contribute some
to that training.
Butler is to vote on proposition to
build a new high school building to
cost $4,000. That this would add
much to Butler goes without saying.
Should all or even 30 per cent Of the
eighth year pupils who graduated
from the rural schools, enter high
school this year, there would not be
high school facilities in the county to
accommodate them and those already
belonging. There is no question but
many Of them will enter some school.
Some are going into the Normal on
account Of the crowded condition OF
our present schools. Others will do
the first year Of high school at home
and enter high school next year. At
!. the pgesent time the non-residents
pay idp the school something like
u. 600 pr year as tuition. and II the
!. facilities were increased, this would
b inofeased in proportion, but some

concluded to say through these notes
that the order of subjects is arranged
by the State Superintendent, and un-
less he makes change they will be
the same as in March. The examina-
ton will begin each day at 8 o'clock
a. m. and since no teacher is in school
now to prevent attendance each day
other examination questions will not
be prepared.

Miss Mabel Charters is staying with
her sister, Mrs. Alene Herman, at
Culver this week.
Another big rain and overflow
visited this section early Saturday
morning, which did great damage to
the crops.
Uncle Zeph Smith, who has been
seriously i'll, is reported a little better
at this writing.
Mrs. Sallie Beaman, widow of the
late |. H. Beaman is making her home
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Reynolds.
Rev. Gather filled his regular ap-
pointment at the Presbyterian church
at Spruce Sunday and Sunday night.
An excellent sermon was reported.
Mrs. Crigler is very poorly with
rheumatism with DR.. Fletcher in at
tendance.
Uncle Davis Radford received word
that VIM. Radford is very sick with
stomach trouble.
Rev. Gather and family took Sum-
day dinner at Mr.. j. R. Simpsons.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Ahart, of near
Montrose, were Sunday visitors at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Mark
Young.
Miss Ethel McCracken was sur
prised Monday, June 9Th, by receiv-
ing thirty-three beautiful post cards,
it being her 18th birthday. In the
evening number of her friends
gathered at her home and spent a
joyful evening. Her father and sister,
Mrs. Alta Rich, served ice cream and
cake as refreshments.

voted levy for building purposes

voted a levy for building purposes
and will put their schools in the best
condition since their organization.
Adrian has one of the best equipped
and most modern buildings for town
of its size in this part of the state and
as result their school is the best
paying proposition in the town, and
now should Butler decide to build
new building few, if any, counties in
the state will surpass Bates in this.
Reports from Warrensburg are that
large number of Bates county teach
ers are in Summer School there and
that the rural teachers are in the ma
jority by great odds. This speaks
well for our country teachers, but at
present they are getting the best
wages, and, of course, should give
good service in return. However,
country teachers are not getting more
than they deserve, because low wages
have driven many of our best teach
ers out Of the profession. Many of
those in school have taught or attend
ed school all the year and now with
but little or no vacation they are in
school and this will close but short
time before school opens in Septem-
Der.
One very pleasing thing about the
school work a. present is the PLAN
ming to have schools begin the first
Monday in September. Not district
has given notice Of a different date so
far. lam quite sure every teacher
in the county would like to see this
tried once and test the idea of having
all schools in the county begin on the
some day and l would like to have
this tried. It would greatly simplify
the work Of the county superintend-
ent. Not only must he investigate
the classification as regards the course
Of study, but must also know how
long school has been in session.
Should all schools begin the same day
it would be much easier to compare
work in different schools. We sin
cerely hope that every school in the
county will be started September 9Th,
unless there is an extraordinary ex-
cuse.
The convention Of county superin-
tendents meets at Jefferson City Mon
day the 9Th and continue five days.
l expect to be present every session,
but will be in the office here Satur-
day.

Loxs the GREATER Wisdom.

Wisdom always betrays the love
in it. Love, just another warmer,
closer name for wisdom, is selfish
ness absolute. 1t is the law and
the sweetness of the one organism
which the universe is.
The eternal strange forces, love
and selfshness, faith and godliness,
have been submerged-nay, hidden
from human consciousness in the
swish and swash of sentimentalism
and hypocrisy. They stand, none
the less, eternal, complete, the foun-
dation, the one necessity, of the
world, the home and character.
They are the inner fact of man
waiting to enamor him of the
chance of completeness.
Where they are not recognized
and made at home in the characte
man finds his life shredded to scraps
and rags.--Practical Ideals.

Order In the House.

The French parliament was not
always famous for the excitement
and turmoils Of its debates. In the
old monarchial days, before the rev.
olution, the sessions of the old par
lament were exceedingly dull and
prosy affairs. One day, it is related,
noble count was trying to make a
speech, and very prosy speech it
was, while all the other members
were either chatting or resting.
Presently the president of the body
raped slightly with his baton.
eff those gentlemen who are talk
ing to each other" said he, "would
kindly make no more noise than
those gentlemen who are snoring it
would be much appreciated by those
gentlemen who are trying to listen"

The Thoughtful Stork.

On a tree close to a house, within
short distance of a river or
canal, there was storks' nest, with
young ones. The roof of the house
caught fire one day, and, though the
flames did not actually reach the
tree, the heat became scorching. So
the mother stork flew down to the
water, got into it and drenched her
breast; then, returning to her
young, she spread the mass of cool,
wet feathers all over them. This she
repeated over and over again, flying
to the river, going down into the
water and returning, her plumage
drenched with wet. And thus the
nest was saved, and the tender nes-
things were preserved alive until the
fire had been got under and all was
safe. The truth of this remarkable
story was youched for by more than
one eyewitness.-Cornhill Magazine.
