THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY.

While there are few texts that can
be purchased for the high school
under the law just mentioned, it's
library is, nevertheless, remarkably
complete. According to the emu
meration made just before the open
ing of school, there are 1885 volumes
on the shelves OF the high school.
These are distributed as follows:
Philosophy and Mythology. 35;
Sociology, rs; Education 80; Philo-
logy. 30; Science, 1924; Useful Arts,
As; Fine Arts, 8; History, 1874; Re-
ference, so; Biography, 90; Literature.
278; Fiction, 1870.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-10-01

One curious result of this law I'm
less the other high schools establish
the training courses, is, that only
graduates of Fennimore and Lancaster
will be eligi BILE to teach in the coun-
try schools. Undoubtedly every school
in the county will adopt the teachers
training course before long, though
Lancaster will have the distinction of
being the first to organize such a
course.

TEACHING,

NEW LEGAL QUALIFICATIONS FOR
TEACHING.
The attention of parents needs to
be called to the provisions of the new
law concerning the qualifications of
teachers, to the end that they may
direct their children to a wise selec-

tion of subjects in the high school
There is plenty of evidence to show
that in the past, a large number of
pupils go out each year to teach in
the country schools, and it is very
probable that in the next few years,
there will still be many of the
graduates who will turn directly to
rural teaching as means of making
a livelihood. The minimum wage
law of forty dollars will surely in
crease this number.
But the difficulty with Freshmen
and Sophormores that compels the
supervision of parents in this matter,
is, that they have so little serious
thought of what they plan or need to
do, two or three years from now,
that they select their particular course
rather because it appeals as likely to
prove delightful than because they
will find it helpful in what they will
need to do after graduation The
Sophomores have been reminded that
if they are to take advantage of the
teachers training course. they must
have botany in their second year.
Yet, only eight people out of the
forty four in the class have selected
botany. On the other hand, fourteen
of the thirtytwo in the senior class
are qualifying themselves for teach
ing. 1t would seem that a number of
sophomores are making a mistake,
which, their parents, who know what
the future will have to be for their
children, should prevent them from
making.
This mistake is the more serious by
reason of the stricter requirements
imposed by the new law. The six
weeks of professional training de-
manded at present and because of
which the teachers course has been
established in Lancaster, has now
been heightened to year. Pupils
who have not taken this professional
work in high school and who plan
to teach after graduation, are there
fore compelled to study one year at
Normal school before being qualified
to teach.
Three Of the classes in the high
school held their first class meetings
of the year last week and elected their
officers. In the senior class, Clay
Halferty will be president, Will Nc
Coy, vice president, and Ned Ellis.
secretary and treasurer The juniors
elected Burnelle Suttle, president to
succeed himself, Edna Richardson,
vice president. Howard Hymer, treas.
urer, and Hazel Walker, secretary
The sophomore election resulted as
follows: Gladys Poland. president,
Florence Barnett. vice president, and
Kathryn Burr, secretary and treasurer.
The seniors were the only people to
elect sergeant-at- arms, giving that
position to Norton Eversoll.

ALL HAVE aJHEIR PET BELIEFS
About as SuperstitIous as Are Sailors.

"Opening an umbrella in a work shop is an infallible sign that the thoughtless one will soon receive no- tice, while the unfortunate girl who lets her scissors fall on their point is in danger of premature decease," says La Revue in describing the su- perstitions of the Partisan dress makers.
 ''If seamstress places a hair in the hem of any garment she is work ing on she will soon be the lucky possessor of a similar garment her. self. A work girl who uses two needles for the same piece of work is certain to be married sooner or later, while the dressmaker who has patience enough to put aside 200 small pins will soon find fance.
 "The little milliner is just as su- perstitious as her dressmaking com rade. If she lets hat fall twice it Is almost certain to find customer, while if she moistens the inside of the crown with the tip of her tongue the purchaser is certain to be de- lighted with it. A milliner who is unfortunate enough to fit on bridal hat and veil is condemned to lonely spinsterhood for the rest of her days.
 Meeting two priests together is, for some inexplicable reason, a sign of a weeks bad luck; nothing of course would induce a workgirl to start in a new place on Friday.
 Singing a hymn while working is pure sign of the thing most feared by the industrious midinettes, and that is long and enforced idleness. The dead season. as they call it, is their nightmare"
