The work in Current Events will
be continued this year. A large club
OF subscribers has been secured for
the Current Events weekly.
The new text books arrived this
week. School work will now be COM
plete and more interesting. The fact
that the first three weeks of school
was conducted with only one text
book for Il few of the classes, shows
fine spirit OH the part of the pupils
OF the school. They have done ex-
cellent work despite the handicap.
The second year German class is
reading Hillern's 'lloher ais die
kirche'. A beginning German class
has been organized. Owing to the
lack of time during school hours,
this class recites after school.

tremely worth while. The nature of

One of the agencies that make
country life more pleasant and af
to'ds opportunity for the exchange
of ideas is the Farm CLUB. This is
known under various names, If
matters not whether it be a Commu-
nifty club, a Country club, or a
Grange, the purpose is much the same.
The men and women Of community
gather at stated times to discuss
questions of mutual import, and to
have pleasant hour together. The
schoolhouse is Il fitting place in rural
districts for such meetings. Here i'm
Malta there are many who are inter.
ested in farming. There are many
OF you who live on farms close to
town. You have the opportunity of
getting together for Farm Club work.
1t seems that it would be worth while
for all who are interested to get to-
gether and organize. Both the men
and women OF community are need.
ed in such an organization. The
teachers and older pupils in the school
would gladly assist where possible.
Of especial value would these meet
ings he for older boys, who may some
time till your farms. This club will
be discussed at the meeting October
.. Come and talk it over.
The growth Of the Malta Schools
has been enormous. There are now
100 pupils enrolled when is 80 more
than were attending one year ago.
The membership will yet increase so
that over two hundred will be in at
tendance. The school house will be |
taxed to the limit in spite of the add
room. There is little doubt |
but that the school will outgrow the
present quarters in another year.
Two special students are enrolled.
Helen Schilling is taking work in
Physics, while Edith Doores is at
tending the American Literature
