Teachers examination for Sc
Eond and third grades at Tyndall,

The.pupils of Pleasant Valley
school are making exceptionally
good progress under Miss Helen
Brown.
A considerable number of teach
brs have held or are planning to
hold entertainments in the near flu
ture.
A visit to the Cass school last
week disclosed the fact that the
pupils of that school are making a
very good record of attendance
hnd progress. There were thirty
four of the thirty-siq enrolled pre-
BENT. The school room is very
rrowded-it being necessary to seat
three pupils in a seat in several
eases. Taking into consideration
This crowded condition, the large
humber of classes necessary and
The large amount of work required
10 prepare for these classes, the
order and the grade of work being
done is a credit to Miss Nora Lust
who is in charge.
No one should loose sight of the
fact that it really takes much less
tOal to heat pure air than that
which is impure.
The other day we visited q
school in which the air was very
impure. At recess we suggested

Blessed are they who are neat,
and also blessed are the pupils of
that teacher.
Blessed are they who not only
ring the bell and hear recitations,
but who also teach.
Blessed are they who know that
book learning is only a part of
ones education, for they will
make men and women out of the
boys and girls in their schools.
not merely educated children.
Blessed is the teacher who is not
afraid to work with his hands, for
it is easier to cleanse soiled hands
with soap and water, or even
water than to it is to go thru life
handicapped by ignorance of how
to do simple things that fall to the
average man or woman.
Blessed, oh! thrice blessed, is the
teacher who smiles, and smiles,
for in his or her life those smiles,
a hundred fold, will come back
after years, when lifes pastures
are turned to brown, and when
the leaves begin to fall.

claim that seed corn from last

therefore urge farmers to test
their seed corn NOW before they
plant it. You can never know
how strong your seed is unless
you actually test it. Millions of
dollars were lost by farmers last
year because of failure to test
seed. Tests have shown that seed
from last years crop will average
about 80 per cent in termination.
This is startling. Get busy right
