by more than three teachers.
During the last scholastic year
four schools received the needy ap-
preparation given by the state. Two
of the smaller schools of the county
consolidated, and through this con-
solidation received support from
the state. Thirteen received the
state appropriation for lengthening
the term. For high school aid four
received the appropriation of the
state. At present there are thirty-six
districts and only twenty three of
these levy the special tax for school
purposes. The same number should
levy the special tax as the county
has within borders, for in doing
each will get far more good than
the value of the investment.

o'clock large number of young
people gathered at the home of
Miss Rosela Parker to enjoy a
pleasant evening in honor of her
guest, Miss Rosada Talbert of

As we approached the home it
loomed before US in vivid contrast
to the still surroundings. The air
was perfumed with a charm that
only a still, clear, calm night can
lend. We were greeted by light,
color, laughter and music. japanese
lanterns peeped invitingly through
the rose vines twining around the
porch. By this time we had ap
preached the steps and, guided by
the impulse of pleasure, entered.
Here we were cordially greeted at
the door by Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie
Kernaghan, Miss Rosela Parker and
Miss Ruth Zimmerman. Glanclng
around we found the whole room
veiled in pink as though the air
were filled with rose petals or that
the moonlight had transformed it.

think of something to term this
gayety we decided that it was the
exquisite combination of Japan,

punch and intoxicating music. Mis-,
