And when they ask you how you are
Just say I'm feelin' 6ne'.
Give everyone the benefit of adoubt
We may get stung once in while
but the aggregat profits will over
balance.
A teacher in western town re-
ceiyed the following note from the
German mother of one of her boys;
"Plese don't tech my boy no more OF

The Course OF Study recommends
that the opening exercises of the
schools be varied, Instead of singing
America every morning or one or two
songs over and over again, have a
change of program each morning for
opening exercises The course of
study recommends: Monday, current
events; Tuesday and Wednesday, oral
agriculture; we would suggest but
one day for agriculture if there is a
7th, 9Th or 9th grade in the school as
the state requires Agriculture taught
in these grades. Then, Wednesday,
drawing; Thursday, music, and Fri
day, stories having ethical value. We
hope our teachers will do as request
ed by the State Board of Education,
e. R. Richardson of district No. 10
came in Friday to help us straighten
up the financial exhibit of his dis
trict, He was accompanied by his
wife and two little children.
Mrs. Mary Sliger who teaches in
district IA, Bluebell, is trying to have

1t is no small part OF an education
for young people to acquire habits of
promptness and regularity. 1t is the
men and women who are regularly at
the post of DUTY whose services are
in demand The work of one day
may not count for very much, but
when it Is factor In determining
habit, then it becomes important.
We would remind parents and others
interested In schools that our schools
are open for inspection and we invite
you to visit your school, You will
see much that will interest you, and
your visits will be an encouragement
to the pupils and the teacher.
College as we'll as school authori-
ties are showing restlessness under
the apparent conviction that all is
not we'll In the moral practices or the
ethical instruction within our educa.
tional institutions. The Chicago
Standard calls attention to the fact
that one of our foremost universities
issues confidential circular to the
parents and guardians of its students
asking their cooperation morally.
1t further records that Leland STAN
ford University refuses admission to

likely to make good university stud
ents.

We venture to say that this stand
taken by the Leland Stanford Uni
versity will ill its school to overflow
ing for its graduates will be wanted
In the best work of the world. Three
cheers for Leland Sanford University
founded in memory Of an only son by
mother.

day and look oyer the reports of his
