There were 8466 days of school
taught by legally qualified teachers
during the past year. an increase OF
426 days over the preceding year.
The aggregate school attendance
for the year past is 154,711 for pu-
pills; an average daily attendance OF
883. The best record OF attendance
was the Pioneer school in the town
OF Conover. where only g. days were
lost by all pupils and the attend
ance is over 80 per cent.
There are 80 children reported be-
tween the ages Of and IA who live
over two miles from any school. A
large share of these are transported
to some school but there seems to
be need Of one or two new schools
this year. People at Oxley have ap-
piled for q school which they need
badly.
Three new schools were started
this fall and two other schools were
enlarged to accommodate the in
creased attendance. The schools OF
Fosterville and Winchester have be-
come state graded schools of the
End class. .-
School Houses and Equipment
There are % schools in the county
and four rented buildings used for
school purposes. Eagle River has
the best building and is the best
equipped both In the village school
and the country. schools. The ArDor
Vitae school has increased the equip
ment very much during the last three
years but the buildings are not OF
ye-y permanent appearance. Hackley
has a good building but needs more
room and a better library. The State
Line school has by far the best
building and equipment Of the small
schools as this school was built
for 80 pupils and there are only IL
in the town at the present time.
There is marked progress in the
country schools in buildings anu
equipment. The following country
schools are now classed as 1st class
rural schools: Foelkner school, Wooo-
ruff, town OF Arbor Vitae; Han
school, Woodruff. town Of ArDor VI

OF Conover; Mannheim school, Con

River: Mayo school, Eagle River
town CT Eagle River; Juve school,
Pennington, town OF Harrington,
Camp One school, Hackley, town OF
Hackley.
The following schools will proba-
bly, be classed as 1st rural schools:
Bohemian school. Eagle River, town
Of Eagle River; Sundsten school. Ea-
gle River, town of Eagle River: Say
ner school. Sayner, town of Plum
Lake: Star Lake school. Star Lake,
town OF Plum Lake; Donaldson school
State Line, town OF State Line
The combined seating capacity of
the school houses is 1857 but some
schools are crowded while others
have plenty OF room.
The cost OF building and repairs
during the year was $4,000. This
does not include improvements made
during the past summer after June
30th.
The estimate cash value of the
school houses and equipment for the
county Is as follows:

visits in the county schools. Several

greater attendance, the work Will pc

Mrs. Campion met him at the door.
Better put on your other Clothes" she
suggested. smilingly. You know the Van
Smythes are coming over tonight to play
bridge. What? Hadn't / told you? Oh.
remember now I forgot to speak OF 1t.
FELL, anyhow, they're to be here shortly
after s o'clock, and we'll have a nice
evening Of bridge You know I'd thought
Of telling them not to come for fear you
might be tired after playing cards last
night. 1 was so glad when you said you

Now Campion hated bridge whist. even
under the best Of conditions. with a deep
and abiding hatred. But can a man be
a gutter? When he sees q woman has
framed up game on him he has to bluff
it through as best he can.
He got into his evening clothes and sat
at a bridge game all evening with the
Van Smythes, who were the crummiest
looking pair Of high-browed neighbors
any man ever had. Can you dope out
anything that would have been worse tor
ture?

woke him up for breakfast half hour
earlier than usual
But she never dropped q single remark

wreck flashes before the spectators eyes.
Good gracious" eXclaim the moving
picture patrons. This is an actual wreck
scene and yet there's the hero searching
about the wreckage. l wonder how they
managed to get that picture" Absolutely
homes and spend hours trying to solve
the question.
Not all wreck scenes are taken in this
manner, however. Occasionally picture
plays are written about wreck scene
in which the moving picture actors
actually posed. A producing COM
pany, upon learning of a wreck in Its
neighborhood, rushes it's leading man and
leading woman to the scene. Permission
is obtained from the railroad officials to
take moving picture of one portion of
the wreck The leading lady, attired IN
a dress that has been torn and spattered
with mud, is hidden behind portion OF
the wreckage. The leading man, bleeding
from a wound on his forehead, dasheS on
to the scene.
He searches about the wreckage and
his manly arms he carries her out into
full view of the camera. She is placed
on a stretcher and carried away by white
coated ambulance attendants. Upon re-
turning to the studio a scenario is written
to fit the all-important wreck pictures.
Although one would suppose the taking
of moving pictures would require an in
tricate piece Of apparatus, the moving
picture camera is not such complicated

about eighteen inches square and SIX

the exposed and unexposed film. These
magazines are boxes about six inches
square and two inches deep, capable OF
holding from 80 to $50 feet of film. The
boxes have a light-proof cover.
The box holding the unexposed film IS
attached to the upper portion of the
camera. A foot or so of film which is
left protruding from the magazine Is then
threaded over small cogs and idlers and
passed through a retainer which contains
an opening through which the exposure
is made The film then passes over more
cogs, which guide 1t to the empty maya

The end of the film is fastened to spool

which turns when the camera Is operated.
The cover of the magazine is then las
tened securely in place.
Moving picture cameras are focused by
means Of a tube extending through the
center Of the apparatus. The film itself
takes the place Of the ground glass by
means Of which focusing is done with
ordinary fiat cameras.
When once the camera has been proper

photographed and the desired effect when
the film is reproduced on a screen. the
services of a thoroughly trained camera
man Is necessary to get a good picture.
One would suppose a good fiat photog-
rapher would be able to take good NOV
This was recently demonstrated when one
of the government departments sent out
several skilled photographers to take
moving pictures. After travelling about
the country taking pictures at different
points they returned to Washington with
about 10000 feet of exposed film. When
it was developed there was not an image
on any portion of 1t, due to both under
and over exposures.
The studios where moving picture plays
are taken vary in size with the magnitude
of the company. Some Of the larger
studios occupy more than an acre of
floor space. They are SO extensive that
as many as five scenes can be made at
once. The same conditions also apply to
the other portions Of the plants Some
have facilities that enable them to pro-
feet each a day, while others get out as
many as 100 such reels.
In all moving picture studios the stage
settings are somewhat alike. Moving pic
ture scenery is similar to that used in
theaters the only differences being size
and color. Moving picture scenery Is not
as large as that for theaters, nor is 1t
colored the same. Most moving picture
scenery is painted in subdued cOlors,
which show much better when repro
duced in black and white.

An Optimist.

uTHE late w. ,Bayard Cutting" said
a member of the Century Club of
New York, was an optimist himself,
and a firm believer in optimism.
"Once during a disastrous strike he re-
buked my pessimism with a story.
"A Mississippi farmer" he said. was
inundated by the spring GODS, and one
day while his farm was under water a
friend found him laughing and joking in
q barber shop.
George said the friend, the hood's
hit you terrible hasn't it?'
oh, yes answered the farmer, the
food's hit me, there's no denying that
Then he smiled and added: But out In
