This curious incident comes
from Suhr, Switzerland: An In
spector of schools, without any
previous warning, visited the
village school and found the
elderly teacher aleep at his desk
and the children departed. having
apparently taken French leave.
To give the teacher a great sur
prise and a bad quarter of an
hour, the inspector decided to
wait until he awoke, and seated
himself. ON a bench in front Of
the culprit. The hours passed
and the inspector himself went
to sleep. The teacher, on aWak *.
ening and seeing who was Sleep
ing before him, quietly left the
school for home. Without enter
ing the schoolroom the concierge
locked up the school and the
slun1bering Inspector, Several
hours later the concierge heard a
great noise and, arming himself, ).
opened the door, and was greatly
surprised to find the angry in
spector before him.

ing every one who helped in any

Of Mission work. We as a socie-
ty feel that we have been great
ly strengthened and can take up
the work that our hands find to
do with a renewed zeal. The
audiences, while not so large as
would have been attracted to a
moving picture show or a circus,
still they were of a type capable
of approaching true worth and
merit as was evidenced by the
attention given and the words of
interest and encouragement with
which the programs were receiv-
ed each night. If we have sue
ceeded in interesting one person
who was not interested before,
then our efforts have not been in
vain.

week was $2l.2O. This will be
divided among four home mission
schools situated in Kentucky,
Georgia, Florida and Texas.
