EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G. w MEIsNEsT.j

| 1t is about time we begin to think
appointed a teacher in each town who
will please take it upon herself to call
meeting of the other teachers Of the
town and agree upon the tima of the
local town contest, the nature of the
program and all other matters pertain
ing to the town contest. Every school
ought TO be represented in the various
contests. Teachers in some schools
may have to encourage pupils to at
tend. 1t is worth . great deal for a
school or even single pupil to be in
contest. We hope the enthusiasm will
be as high as in the past. Have the
program consist of good, clear cut, re-
citations, drills, songs or dialogues &c.
If the contest be held in hall, see to
1t that it is properly heated. 1t would
not be well for teachers to approve of
social to follow the contest but in
| some cases it will not be wise to inter-
fere.
The following teachers will act as
chairmen of the town, and will in a
measure be held responsible for the
contest. You must get the ball a roll

There will again be a graded school
declamatory contest this year. This
will be held some time in April, at the
Court House. The past two years
every graded school in the county had
contestants in both the intermediate
and upper divisions. Much good has
come from this. 1t has in most COM
munities set a standard on good speak
ing. hope, therefore, that as last
year, every graded school will hold
preliminary declamatory contests and
have contestant in each division
The selections for the upper group
should not be too long, and those for
the intermediate should be accordingly.
The selections given last year were well
chosen, every one Of them. The con-
test last year showed that you don't
always need to look in recitation books
tor such selections, but that you may
sometimes find them in your readers.
The plan then for getting ready for
these contests should be somewhat as
follows, although you may use your
own method:
/. Have as many pupils learn Sc
lection as wish. The teacher may need
to assist in securing the selection for
the pupil.
2. If too many enter hold prelim
mary in your school and then If con-
venient have two graded schools COM
pete and pick the best from each school
in each group to enter the county con-
test.
3. intermediate group, grades 3, 4, g.
Upper group, grades o, Z, 8.
Let us work hard in this direction.
The preliminary will furnish you an
opportunity to have an evening pro-
gram and get the people together.
Don't mind little petty things that mny
happen, largely because of ignorance.
You must teach the lessons that come
through defeat as well as those of vic.
tory.
Teach your pupils to be patriotic
loosers as well as winners.

William Eatough is an old citizen
who has long enjoyed the respect of all
his acquaintance. But William is
growing trihe frlsky in his declining
years. He attended 10 10, had front
seat and expressed the utmost salts
faction with the performance. 1t is a
little strange that people whose first
name is William is never truly good.
AS samples, there are Will Walker,
Will Nash, and Bill Eatough, and the
top-sheaf of wickedness, Win Killen.

Collects More Fees
A remarkable increase in the fees
of the state is shown in the secretary
of states department, according to
the textbook Fees received by this
office 1911-12 amounted to 1884, 03,
while fees received 1894 thus far
have amounted to $249,822. By card
indexing the corporations nearly eight
thousand dollars in delinquent taxes
were collected by the secretary of state
since January /, 1913 which but for
it's use would not have been collected.
Some idea of the increased fees to the
state coming in through the secretary
of states office Is shown by COMPARE
son with preceding years. For in
stance, in 1866 the revenue of the
office in fees amounted to $31,242.
The textbook gives Senator Brady's
record In congress and sketches of Adj
Olson T. Smith and Robert M Nc
Cracker.
It seems to be comprehensive in its
sweep and contains much detailed in
of interest to the people of
The state, regardless of policies.

LOVE, HAIR AND MARRIAGE

From the beginning OF romantic
history down to the present day, ev-
cry story of love has spoken of the
maiden's hair as one of her chief
charms. Fair locks amply pay for
the care and time used in keeping
them beautiful and care is all that
is necessary for developing and re-
tanning hair beauty. In washing the
hair it is not advisable to use a
makeshift but always use a prepara-
tion made for shampooing only. You
can enjoy the best that is known for
about three cents a shampoo by get
ting Ia package OF eanthroX from your
druggists; dissolve teaspoonful in a
cup of hot water and your shampoo
is ready After its use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color Dandruff
excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that it will look much heav
ier than it is. It's lustre and softness
will also delight you while the slim
ulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair growth.
