A further step in the direction of pub

by Lutherans in the publication of minia-

newspapers are to be issued three or
four times a year only, and to be edited

What the Woman's Betterment Asso.
citation Did.

Let me picture to you little fran,
school building which had once know
lpaint on the outside, but whose inne
walls were defaced by dirt and writ
ling; whose desks were rough, home
made, too high for the school child
and whose surface bore marks of The
boys faithfulness in whiting.
The unsightliness of the surround
lings for the child aroused the interest
of the women of the neighborhood and
a Woman's Betterment Association
was organized.
After giving at intervals throughout
the year an ice cream supper, box
party and an egg shower, the associa-
ton bought forty single patent desks,
a teachers desk and chair, window
shades, water cooler and had S. for
the library. The county superintend-
ent supplemented one-half of the desk
fund and had the building painted
without and within. A former teacher
hearing of the Improvements sent s.
with which to buy pictures for the
walls.
The men of the district became in
terested and laid off the schoolyard in
an attractive way. Later rose bushes
and other shrubbery and violets made
beauty where only weeds had been be-
fore.
With these improvements made, the
need of longer term was next real
lied. Thus subscriptions were made
until the short public term was length
ened into six months term.
The association is now working for
a school fair to be held in the autumn.
The boys of the corn club will bring
their exhibits of corn. The girls will
show fancy work and plain sewing.
During the summer they are busy cul-
.ivating chrysanthemums, by the i'm
proved method, which will form a |
most interesting part Of their exhibit. |
Prizes will also be given for the best |
canned fruit, pickles and cakes.
The object of the fair is to increase
greater interest in the pleasures and
'rofits of country life.-Miss Eu-
