The board, Grover Weber, Tom
Mitchell and Amos Harris and l vis-
tied Miss Elsie Brown at Chapel
Grove Thursday afternoon. The house
is new, has just been nicely painted
inside and new window shades have
been added. They have a
new case of maps, and a num-
ber of good new books. A ditch has
been run around the yard which
makes the drainage good. Dirt was
hauled and used in grading around
the house and making a wide walk to
the road in front. To this was also
added some gravel. These people, too,
are working for a heater another
year, and to make an approved school
of Chapel Grove. Their school closed
with an interesting play Saturday
night.
Friday was the close of school at
Elm Bend. This is Miss Talbott's
second successful term here. A large
number of the patrons were present
with well-filled baskets of good things
to eat. They have made many i'm
provements this year, and they ex-
pect to do much more this coming
year. The program was good, as the
children were well trained and per-
formed their parts very satisfactor-
lily. After the program 1 presented
diplomas to four bright girls, Georgia
Day, Hollie and Eula Beckley and
Ollie Phillips. The day was a very
enjoyable one, as these people are
very hospitable.
Saturday, l held teachers meet
ing at Vandalia. We were invited
there by the school board acting
through the superintendent, D. G.
Tugel. Mr.. TugeI helped much in
making up the program, assisted ably
by his corps of teachers, he did much
to make the meeting a success. The
day before they had prepared dis
play of their work of the year and
had invited in the patrons and friends
to examine III. This display was of
unusual merit, and was carefully in
spected by the visiting teachers. T.
am sure all got many good ideas that
they can use in their work. The Van
dalia teachers provided a good lunch
con for all visitors, and the Teacher
Training class served it. After en-
joying the lunch, we spent some time
in telling funny school room expert
ences. 1t is hard to estimate how
much eating together in this way
adds to the success of meeting. The
Vandalia teachers have our sincerest
thanks for this and all the good help
they gave us.
The visiting teachers were: Misses
Bessie Day, Mildred Cook, Lizzie Tel
hamper, Beulah Crawford, Ruby
webber, Goidie Quinn. Eva Stone,
Minnie Jackson, Zelma Doyle, Flos-
ence Kirkpatrick, Bessie Watson,
FIossie Parker. Leta Moore. Ella

Som Y rN a9d Interviews

E. K. Hulen: / am trying to
keep the roads of Mexico Special
Road District in order. Folks
living out beyond the lines of the
District often complain that their
roads are in better condition than
mine. They seem to forget how
little travel they have compared
with the travel closer to Mexico.
Much travel when the roads are
soft makes bad roads. Continue to
drag your roads, Mr.. farmer, but
don't forget that with all the
dragging l can give mine l have
a much harder job to keep mine
in condition.
Prof. M. B. Vaughn: / am SUI
perintendent of the Montgomery
City public schools, secretary of
the Commercial Club and upper
intendent of a Sunday School. A
busy man, you see. came to
Mexico to visit your schools. You
verify have one of the finest
schools in the state. They are do
ing a surprising work. Your
eachers are up-to-date and use
he methods approved by the
leading educators of this country.
/ am taking home some specimens
of work l found in different rooms
of your primary department. II
repeat, you have a great school.

dition than the roads closer to

Rome, March 24.-Dispatches to ltal-
ian newspapers from Athens describe
the situation in Greece as grave.
Some of the correspondents express the
belief that the present deadlock be-
tween King Constantine and many of
his advisers regarding the eountry's
Intervention in the war is the result of
antagonism which had arisen between
the rulers and Eleutherios Venizelos,
premier in the cabinet which resigned
after its declaration in favor Of join
ing the allies was frowned upon by the
king Other correspondents are Of the
opinion that the intervention of Greece
on the side of the allies olready has
been agreed upon aud that the crisis
which now is apparent is artificial,
having ben arranged to make it easier
for King Constantine to decide against
Germany, to which he has felt under
some obligations for family and po-
litical reasons. The influence of Ger
many is supposed to have been respon'
sible in n considerable measure for
Greece obtaining possession Of Kavala

According to an opinion rendered the

eral Brown, the secretary is merely an
ex.officio member Of that board and
has no vote upon the question Of the re.
moval Of the secretary. Attorney Gen.
eral Brown states that it requires four
members of the board of health TO
elect or remove its secretary. Although
no hint is given in the query or the
opinion TO indicate the purpose Of the
request for a decision upon the subject,
it is presumed that II has to do win
the reported inclination of the majority
of the board to dispense with the ser.
