Move from where you are-do not talk.
II the ground Is wet where you staud
Look about to get higher land.
Stay not where you aTe-wake and move
All Is pitch and tar in the groove.
Pass your love along to the next
Render good for wrong" be your text
As you travel by, CHER the crowd;
Pass the loving cup, sing aloud.
Mistakes are but spring boards tC
bound US to higher plane.
Teacher hat does Washington

No satisfactory set Of rules for
bringing up boy has ever been laid
down by the experts. BY experts we
mean people who have no children.
What appears to work wonders in one
case will prove an absolute failure in
another.
Kansas is a little plot of ground on
which God tries all his experiments
II they fail here they are never tried
elsewhere.
g. S. Wessler, treasurer of district
No S, called to see about school mat
ters in his district. He was In Lib
eral proving up his claim. Mr.. Marts
of the same district also made us a
friendly call. His wife Is clerk of
district five. They were we'll pleased
with the teacher they had last year
and will probably employ her again.
We are glad to state that many of
the districts were we'll pleased with
their schools the past year.
Most of our schools will probably
not select teacher until after the
returns are received from the next
examination. This year the plan is
advisable, as many teachers of exper-
fence did not anticipate the change
in the date of the annual meeting
and have no valid certificate now.
During the Normal one session a
day will be devoted to Theory and
Practice. Wehope to have the teach
ers form right ideas of a we'll discip-
lined, we'll taught school and gain
some knowledge OF how to secure it.
Poor government usually direct
result Of poor teaching seems to be
the chief cause OF complaint from the
parents. We do need strong teachers,
and we hope every one who expects
to teach will make special study OF
principles and methods of teaching
and show by their teaching the COM
ing year that they have made pro-
gresS and that the seed sOwn by the
Normal Instructors has been sown IN
good ground, "As is the teacher so
Is the school,"
No unskilled hands should play
upon harp when the tones are left
forever in the strings,
Fourteen of the accredited colleges
have agreed to extend the offer of a
years tuition in the academic depart
ment to the one student from each
county ranking first in the diploma
examination for graduation from the
common schools. The honor this year
goes to Miss Mildred Harnden, of dis
trict q in this county.
We cordially invite everyone to Wis.
1t the Normal Institute which will
be In session at the high school build
ing during July.
Let us be sis ers" Amt you got no

Gerry store.
"Alnt said l amt, the clerk re-

saint asked you is you Amt, | ask
ed you amt you is. Is you?"
The Misses Laura Wood and Edna
Stevenson made us pleasant call last
Friday morning. They are rejoicing
because they have received their Nor.
NAL Training certificates. We re-
jolce with the girls and wish them
successful year in the school room.
We understand that LaFaun Wilkins
and Misses Juliet Reeve and Gladys
Alphin aslo received certificates. To /
them also we extend the glad hand.
The enthusiasm Of youth often carries
one farther and more successfully |
than the experience of age. We bid |
these young people God Speed" in
the college of the world which they
are just entering, and hope when
they graduate into that high school
where all lessons are ended they will |
hear the voice OF the Master say:
swell done, good and faithful SER
wants, enter thou into the Joy OF thy
Lord.n
We hope every boy and girl in Sew
