"A man that's clean inside; who
neither looks up to the rich nor dowr
on the poor; who can loose without
squealing and who can win without
Dragging; who is considerate of women,
children and old people; who is too
brave to lie; too generous to lie; too
sensible to loaf and who takes his
share of the worlds goods and lets

This is the last year in which grad
yates can pass from the high school to
teaching the same year. The law
passed by the last Legislature requires
that after 1915 all beginners in teach
ing shall have had one year in the
normal school or county training school.
That means the summer school Of six
weeks will be even up after this year.
This law does not affect those who
have taught previous to 1915.
An exchange says: Lack of adj
yertising on the part Of merchants in
their local papers is largely responsible
for big business done by mail order
houses throughout the country. The
mail order house man has caught the
idea fiat there is virtue in printers
ink and he works it TO the limit BY
judicious advertising they make the
people want what they have to sell.
The best plan to combat the scheme is
for merchants TO wake up and use the
columns Of their local papers"
