For long time there had been the de-
sire for better school conditions, but while
there was no antagonism, there was no
united effort At times during the past
three or four years the school would i'm
prove and the attendance would increase
but each wave was of short duration. A
year ago a man with the capacity for
organization was placed at the head of
the local board of trustees. 1t was then
that two teachers were secured, high
school grades were added, and Miss
Mason was made principal. The happy
part of the situation is that just when
the parents and trustees were most will
ling to work and most eager to have Il,
good school a woman of Miss Mason
calibre was secured. She has strong viii
power and great energy together with the
very necessary tact and Judgment for
school organization. She has succeeded
beyond her friends expectations and she
has accomplished that of which any
teacher might be proud. Had she failed,
had she shirked. 1t would doubtless have
meant the end of educational effort in
that community. She has done more than
her full duty and her. years work has
been enough to win her a high place in

In August Mr.. McAdory and Mr.. Mcneil
visited us. The children had long antici-
pated this visit. They are interested in
every move made in connection with their
school and their pride in its success is
one of the most delightful features. Our
work here needs only to be guided in the
right channels that Corner will never be
without flourishing school"
Letter From One Boy
One of the school boys writes of his
school:
"I am a student at Corner school. | am
10 years old and in the fifth grade. Four
years ago, when l started to school, I
went to school in a little house belonging
to my father. 1t was rented to another
man, but the school went on till he got
ready to move. Then the school was
moved to another house, about three
quarters of a mile from there. The rea-
son / had to go to these rented houses
was that a cyclone had blown down the
school house. They built another house
| in which there had been one teacher
| teaching till last winter. Then the coun-
| ty superintendent gave us two teachers
and said IL we would make an average
| of Sc they would pay both teachers The
children came in and crowded two teach
ers. So after Christmas they gave us
the third. Now we have three teachers
and 105 pupils enrolled.

games for amusement at recess The

There are so many changes here this
year that I can't tell all of them So

country we have.

school and its progress for some years
was very good. In the cyclone of 1905
this school building was destroyed and
again the prospect for a school was most
1t must have been enough
to tempt the people to give UP trying to
have a school, and to let those who could
do so go to other schools and to leave
those who could not do this to do with
out school. However, they began
again and built small new school house.
No School Progress
The mere housing of the school had
been matter of so much concern that
the school life and progress had received
little attention. Year after year there
had been few months winter term and
a few months summer term. There was
no concerted effort to improve the school,
school extension work, and little attempt
tive features, and its progress was indif-
ferent. This was before the recent in
terest in rural schools had been aroused
and the condition at the Corner school
was similar to that of many other schools.
The children remained in school for
four or FIVE years and dropped out, or
else they completed the irregular seven
years course and then left for lack of
opportunity for more advanced work. Had
there been a rural high school they We're
so situated that attendance there would
have been impracticable, and so, at best
their educational opportunity was linn
tied to a small one-teacher school, un-
graded, unimproved, terminating with the
seventh years work and having short
divided term

miles west : Warrior. is one for which
Assistant erintendent Hewitt Is per-
sonally stain lg sponsor. and in trying
to live up to lis expectations and their
own ideals the patrons and teachers have
made perhaps greater tangible progress
than those of any other school in the
county. The story Of the struggle to es-
tablish school in the community is one
which shows remarkable tenaeity of pur-
pose and superiority to circumstances.
The first school taught In reach of the
neighborhood was a subscription school
in 1882, with an enrolment of 25 or so
children and an average attendance of a
still smaller figure The next year a six
months school was taught in an old
church. This house was built of pine and
poplar logs split open. There were large
cracks between the logs and the windows
were holes sawed in the walls and lacking
even wooden shutters. The desks were
benches of one size slightly too high for
the comfort of the smaller children.
Log School House
In 1856 a little log school house was
built. From its situation on the corner
of 40 acres of land the. school received
the name. 1.-THE Corner school," the name
which it still bears. The little school Sc

the little log school house became inade-
quate and new building was erected not
far away. This was used for three or
four years, when Ii was accidentally
burned. The present school site, a quar-
ter OF a mile from the first, was selected
and a fairly good house was built. The

the reason why.
Mt AKING hair grow was for long
Wu time as great a problem to me as
Az 1t is today to thousands of wom-
en-. There were days when thick
hair would come out on comb or brush,
and l feared badness would soon result.

must have nourishment to keep 1t in
good condition. when Nature refuses to

cumulate on the scalp and no soap can
remove 1t. Dandruff results. the hair
becomes starved, looks lifeless, begins
There is a formula which I use and
which Is the result of my conclusions.
The hair needs two things, an anti
septic nourisher, and a shampoo that
is not soap, but a remover of scurf
The hair grower formula:
Mix half a pint of alcohol with half
q pint of water TO this add one ounce
of beta -quinol. Shake thoroughly, and
then it will be ready to use. If you
prefer. you can use imported bay rum
instead of the water and alcohol, The
beta -quinol you can get at almost any
drug store for not more than fifty
cents. This formula should be applied
very freely TO the scalp after brushing
il generously for few minutes ali
the scalp with the finger tips. This
forces the. hair to grow abundantly
and stops hair falling. For the sham

good druggist should be able to sup
ply you for twenty five cents. 1 sham
