win start anew this morning
There is no dearth OF kindness
In this old world Of ours
Only in our blindness
I'VE gather thorns for flowers
Won't power is greater than WILL
power.
Hard work kills time, but 1t cures
grief.
II diti1ulties trip you up fall across
them and get up on the other side.
The state Superintendent writes

Mrs. McGregor and son OF Stevens
county made US busineis call Tues
day afternoon.
Mrs. Nichols, mother Of DR.. Nichols,
who is visiting her children and
friends made us pleasant call Tues
day morning. She says she expects
that she will have to stay In Manhat-
tan long enough to get all her grand
children through the Agricultural
college as Doctor says all his children
shall graduate therefrom and Schuy-
Ter says his little girl shall do the
same. There is no school in the U.
S. equal to our state Agricultural col
lege.
Miss Lottle Henline of Arkalon

The fact that people fail to appre-
ciate US at what we take to be our
real worth Is no excuse for desistence
from constant effort "All at 1t and
all the time at it-that Is what counts"
Last week we had as dinner guests
two Of the fairest, weightiest and
brainlest ladies of Liberal. We, never
enjoyed a meal better. The wit and
fun of these two ladies is "par excel
lence."
We received the following postal
this week.
Dear Friend;
How are your / am in St. Louis
and will return soon, Marian Joslin.
Little Marian promised to write us
when she went away, and we thank
her for her promptness.
Teachers, What can you do to in
crease the efficiency of our schools the
coming yearY We want the Course
Of Study followed, we want mini
mum of truancy, we want every boy
and girl of Seward county between
the ages of s and l6 in the school
room every day, we want the attend
ance to be regular-no good work can
be done by pupil who does not at
tend regularly, we want every one of
school age lat least Of compulsory age)
to be present every day of every
month. We have some beautiful new
diplomas for perfect attendance this
year. We hope every district will re-
ceive more than one this year. Some
districts have never received these
attendance diplomas through their
pupils. Let every district get sew
eral this year. We have enough to
go round.
1t Is to be hoped that the school
boards will cooperate with their
teachers the coming year to make
the school the best ever held in their
district. Let US not be satisfied with
anything but the best and all work
toward this end,
As soon as contracts are made out
the school board should not forget to
mail a copy to this office. District
clerks, please do not fofget this. We
have sent you the proper blanks,
Please bill them out and sendthem
