COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
By W. CLYDE JOHNSON.
County School supt.

The schools are now fast drawinl
to a close. Few viii Be in session
longer than two more weeks.
Wednesday evening l had the greaf
pleasure of attending the closing ex
ercises at Lawder. Miss Fuhrer viii
much patience and labor had prepar.
ed a splendid program, and the pupils
carried out their parts well. After the
"pieces" had been spoken, l made a
short talk. praising the patrons for
the fine new building, good heating
plant, and other equipment-they now
have an approved school--and encour-
aging them to 90 on by showing them
how valuable an education is. Thea
| presented diplomas. certificates of
entrance into high school, to two
bright young ladies, Misses Vivian
Turner and frankie Brenton.
Friday Miss Fuhrer closed her very
successful term Of school. She is very
enthusiastic, energetic. and a tireless
worker, and | believe she has given
complete satisfaction. She is grad
uate of the Teacher Training Course
Of Mcmillan High, and this was her
first term of school.
Friday was also the last day at
Erisman. Miss Mary Pennington had
big day of it, a fine basket dinner,
good program, and a large crowd.
She had invited me to meet with the
people, enjoy the day with them, and
present the diplomas TO Lora Fuhrer,
Helen Mildred, and Harold Paradies. |
| sincerely regret that | could not be
present, Miss Mary is one Of our ex-
perienced teachers and is very sue
cessful one. She with the help of her
pupils and efficient board, has made
Erisman also an approved school.
Flynt also had their closing exer-
Uses Friday. Miss Anna Marshall
has now taught six or seven very sue
,essful terms there. She is one of
he best in the county, and will no
ioubt be kept there for years yet.
This is another one of the dozen
chools that have been approved this
'ear. They put jacket around their
tove until they could get money
nough to buy a heater. Miss Mar
hall has one, believe, to graduate
his year. She has small school, but
is a happy, pleasant little family,
n a room that will be made quite cozy
nd homelike another year. May her
ribe increase.

Western Kansas has often bee
looked upon as a desert. The irrigs
ton in eastern Colorado and wester
Kansas has produced an enormous ir
crease in rainfall. This today is hi:
torie fact.
Again, people ought not to be dis
turbed in this matter of an attempt {
modify the weather because of an an
cient superstition that God direct
the weather in spite Of any desire oi
the part of man. When God creates
! Man He commissioned him to subdu'
the earth. Man has annihilated tint
and space already. He provides fo
himself in many ways. He stores VI
drinking water and does not expeei
God to bring hima drink three times
day. He builds a furnace under his
house and provides coal for the win.
ter, and if he did not do this Gods
winter temperature would soon put
an end to him.
Man cultivates the soil in order
that he may have bread and butter,
If he did not do this God would let
him starve to death. An attempt to
modify the weather is not fighting
against God, but is an effort on the
part Of man to use one of Gods laws
for his benefit, just as he now uses
other things, like water and coal for
his benefit.
The ancients had a hard time get
ting and keeping fire. Men felt that
the gods did not want them to have
FIRE. As time went on man mastered
he art of getting fire, and today we
iraw it from our vest-pocket any
we want it. An ancient sup
irstition has evaporated. There are
till some modern ines that nave not
'et evaporated. The weather oper-
ties according to Gods laws. All
men need to do is to act in accordance
nth those laws and they can modify
ne weather.

lent prevents hail storms in the lit

alleys. When the thermometer gets /
