Admiral Boue de Lapeyere, after re-
victualing the garrison at the Monte

notables at Ragusa fed precipitately
on two special trains as soon as the
battleships were sighted.
'The Italian and Slav population" the
official announcement says, remained
calm. 1t would have been easy to re-
duce Ragusa to cfnders if our fleet had
been willing to follow the example of
the Germans. The flight of the au-
thorities was sufficient.

paratus at Gravosa.

Belgium to be beleaguered. is still
holding out against the German on

The nations opposing Germany hoped
that the defenders could hold out till

fighting which extends across the Bel
gian frontier to the northward OF
Lille, makes a gigantic front sprawl
ing like a snake half across Belgium.
and across practically all of north
eastern France.
Though separate conflicts. the siege
of Antwerp and the battle of the Aisne

closely related, and both the Germans
and the allies are making the most
desperate efforts to crush each other
and smash through the ever-lengthen-

The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1914-11-05

Time and again we are confront
ed with the proposition regarding
what constitutes a school day.
The law says school shall be con-
Quoted five and one half hours
each day, a school week shall be
five days, a school month twenty
days, and that each district shall
hold not less than six months of
school in each calender year, The
point we want to make here is,
that the teacher who has an idea
that her responsibility ceases at
four o'clock each day, does not
have the proper school spirit.
Such a teacher lacks the funda.
mental qualities of success and the
sooner she finds other employ
ment, the better it will be for the
teacher and the taught.
There are still a few library
books to be delivered to certain
districts. We attempt to get them
out as fast as possible, but often
overlook opportunities to deliver
them. School officers and teach
ers should call for them when
they are in they are in the Office.
