ers. describes at length their struggles
and achievements and dismisses the
inventors and promoters of the great
agencies which have made modern civ

The invention Of printing has had
more influence upon the development
Of the race than any act of any ruler
that the world has ever known. and
more than half Of those who read this

The men who invented and develop
ed the steam engine did more to light
en- human toll and to make possible
to each of the dwellers upon earth
larger mead of comfort and enjoyment
than all the generals who ever pitted
men against their fellows. Hunt for
their names in the indexes of your his

Art and literature have been broad
highways tu fame. The high school
scholar can tell you who wrote what
and when he wrote it. but ask him
who built the first railroad in America
and when and where 1t was. The

The meeting was we'll attended by
the superintendent and a great
deal of interest was manifest.
The matter of Annual Reports re-
ceived considerable attention from
the fact that so many of the dist
riot officials and teachers are in
clined to be negligent in this mat
ter. Several county superinten-
dents reported that they hold their
officers and teachers to the strict
letter of the law in these matters
and are not slow to enforce the
penalties provided in such cases.
A few days ago we sent out the
term report blanks to the rural
teachers. Along with the blanks,
was a circular letter giving in
|struction as to how they should be
filled and what disposition should
be made Of them. The inquiries
and irregularities that have arisen
in connection with this matter is
enough to tax with of a Hindu
philosopher. One teacher with an
enrolment of less than thirty
pupils reports an average daily at
tendance of more than one hun
dred twenty.

been received and accepted at this
Office. The wording of the law is
not very definite in this respect.
Teachers and clerks should be
come familiar with Section 40 of
the Revised School Laws. 1t is
the custom throughout the entire
country for teachers to make their
term report in triplicate, and to
deliver one copy to the clerk, one
copy to the the superintendent and
leave a copy to the successor in the
school. Failure to comply with
this regulation is sufficient cause
for revocation of a certificate.
Mr. Anton Niagara, clerk of
Vellek District No. IL called for
his annual book of blanks on Mon
day morning.
Enrolment cards to the Nation
al Boys and Girls Clubs continue
to arrive. We wish that every
boy and girl in Bon Homme coun-
ty between the ages of ten and
eighteen years would enroll. 1t
costs nothing except little system
attic work during the summer
months and will prove a source of
lasting benefit to all who enroll.
We wish that every boy in Bon
Homme County could have the pri
vilege of reading the article enti-
tied, Putting John Barleycorn
off the Trains, which appears in
the Saturday Evening Post under
date Of April 4th.
asst week this Office sent out a
circular letter to teachers whose
certificates will have expired be-
fore next September, urging them
to avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty to secure a new certificate at
this weeks examination. We de-
sire to know at an early date the
size of our local teaching force be-
fore we offer any encouragement to
applicants from outside the county.
The county superintendent atten
ded the Spring Conference of coun
ty superintendents which was con-
vened last week at Aberdeen by
State Superintendent, Lawrence.

business this year at the usually
rush season before Christmas was
fifty per cent off. This only con-
vinces US how wholly dependent this
immediate section is upon cotton
and peanuts. With cotton fifty eff
and peanuts fifty off, the natural
result-cotton and peanuts being
our only money crops-is that bust
ness is fifty off. If for some reason
there would have been no market
for these commodities this year, the
probabilities are that the stores
would have closed up.

0beying Orders.

f. E. Smith recently told the story
of the captain of hussars, who gave
a dinner to the men Of his squadron
the night before they left for tie
front.
"Now, my lads" he said, treat
this dinner as you will the enemy -
And they set to with will.
After dinner he discovered one Of
the men slowing away bottles Of
champagne into bag, and highly in
indignant, he demanded to know
what he meant by such conduct.
'I'm only obeying orders, sir?'
said the man.
"Obeying ORDERS roared the
captain. What do you mean, sir?'
"You told us to treat the dinner
like the enemy, sir; and when We
meet the enemy, sir, those we don't
kill we take prisoners. '-Londor

Man Too Weak For Home.

Yes, woman's pace is at home.
She is the only one who is fitted for
the strenuous duty Of guarding it
from the attacks Of the ladies and
gentlemen who appear at our door
each day with fascinating propose
tiors as to purchase of vanilla extract
or United States history on the install
ment plan. T! e e is no doubt that it's
better for man to go to his office
or some other place away from home
when he can keep out of mischief
The old argument of would-be funny
people who picture the man STAYING,
at home and taking care of the
children is pitiable effort in com
parison to the real argument. It
might be bad for the children and it
might be hard on the man, but it
would entail no such dangerous DOS
sibilities as would result from allow
ing man to stay at home and dis
cuss purchases with various pleasant
statesmen and salesladies.
There was intact, man who stsv-
ed at home one day and spent a
months salary. Other men might
not be tempted to such and ALARM
ing degree. but woman is the on]v
person competent to defend her
home and her finances from preserv-
ing agents. This particular man
bought a vacuum cleaner. Of
course the first mistake was allow.
ing the agent to demonstrate the
the cleaner, thereby displaying the
fact that all rugs are dirty until the
vacuum principle is applied to them.
The man did not like dirt. He was
appalled, at the sight of it
and bought the cleaner. Hi,
mind was still on the subject Of
dirt when the agent for an electric
washer came along. He bought the
