If you and Just you and |,
Should laugh instead of worry;
If we should grow, Just you and
Kinder and sweeter hearted,
Perhaps in some near by and by
A good time might be started
Then what happy world 'twould be
For you and me-fOr you and me.
Joy is the watchword of the pres
ent century education. To teach the
child to read by giving him material
which he loves is to insure his eager
ness to learn and his happiness in the
task. The same Is true of the other
branches.
Ralph II. SPOTS of the State Uni
versity spent Wednesday morning
visiting the Normal. He came to
present the work of the correspOn-
dence or study department of the
University Extension Division. We
are glad to say for Seward county
that eight of the "a in attendance
signifed their intention to take up
the Correspondence Course. Two
studies at time is all that is al
lowed. OF course, diligent pupil
might complete from four to six,
maybe more branches in school
year. 1t all depends on the pupil.
Do you know the world is dying
For little bit of love?
Everywhere we hear the signing
For a little bit of love.
For the love that rights a wrong
Fills the heart with hope and song;
We have waited, o, so long
For a little bit of love.
A song in the heart of child will
do as much for his character as a
fact in his memory or a principle in
his intellect.
The new education calls for a GER
tain reorganization
reconstruction
REIMBURSEMENT
Of our present system.
Public education can not much
longer be enclosed in a triangular
fence of Reading, Writing, Arithme-
tic.
Dear teacher" wrote little john
ny's mother, "kindly excuse Johns
absence from school yesterday af-
ternoon, as he fell in the mud, BY
doing the same you will greatly !
oblige his mother"
Miss Alice Taylor brought us IN a |
sample of her cake making last Sat
urday. The court boys who sampled |
1t declare It was fine, as also did |
Grandma Lane, Miss Anna BrIer,
Miss LOttie Henline and we. If Miss
Alice handles her studies as we'll as
she made this cake, we predict for
her a successful school year. We
hope the sweet girl graduates will
all bring us in a sample of the cakes
they can make. Boys, what can you
do?
Make "sinkers," perhaps.
Prof. Miller writes us from Man
haitian: please keep encouraging
the boys and girls of Seward county
10 cultivate we'll their corn and Kafr
and the girls especially the tomatoes
II they have entered that contest.
Now, girls and boys, get busy. 1t
will never do to let Seward county
fall behind. We are going to have
a Fair this fall and we may ask you
to bring something that you have
raised to show what your farm can
do with you working.
The teacher had trouble with
Johnnie. Johnnie had trouble with
work 1t was discovered that
his sight. was affected The teacher

mother. Johnnie has stigmatism.

answer which read: 81 don't know
what he done, but | licked him for
t. can't find it on him and he
lays he amt got any; now you better
lex him and see if you can find it."
We are thankful to Miss Lottle
ienline and Mrs Arie Evans for
lelp in the office Saturday afternoon
and evening. We also remember
Hiss Grace Etzold helping us one af-
ernoon last week. We have more
han we can handle these days.
