MAYVILE NORMAL

Mr.. Fox has received an honor by
being elected to membership in the
local chapter Of the Greek fraternity,
Phi Beta Kappa, at the University of
Illinois. When Mr.. Fox graduated
from this school there was no chapter
there and it is very gratifying to him
to be chosen now several years after
graduation.
Mr.. Tharaldsen evidently read a pa
Iper on Agriculture in the Rural
Schools that was worth while at the
recent meeting of the Southeastern
educational meeting. He has received
several letters since asking for detailed
information regarding suggested APP
paratus and methods. The school has
known that Mr.. TharaIdsen is master
Of his work and it is very glad that
he had the opportunity to be Of value
to those outside of the school.
