AL CANDIDATES HAVE
CHANCE TO WIN SPECIAL
PRIZE OF $500 IN GOLD.
Double Votes VIII be Allowed on
New Subscriptions Obtained
Between November p and
December 4.

Just think Of the argument that you
have to use. double votes for every
NEW subscription and a chance to
win 500 for your efforts from No
vcmber p TO December (.
When the Special Ballot" offer
was announced some two weeks ago
4 was stated that the Special Ballot"
otter would not be repeated and that
subscriptions would never bring as
many extra votes as during the "Spe-
oial Ballot" offer. In fairness 10 all
the candidates we now state posi-
lively that at no time will as good
an offer be made as double votes.
You will be given as many
votes at any minute o fthe campaign
than you will be entitled TO on NEW
subscriptions commencing next Mon
day and continuing until Saturday,
December 4.
Some candidates seem TO think that
they will be given more votes the last
week OF the campaign than at any
other time. This is an idea.
More votes were given on NEW sub
scripuonS during the Special Ballot"
offer than now. and as that offer is A
thing OF the past we state positively
that this is the very best offer. You
will not be given so many votes the
last week on your subscriptions as
during the present offer.
just remember this. no other offer
so good as this will be made again.
Quite a number of candidates low
have promises of subscriptions. See
to it that these promises materialize
into subscriptions.

Carr takes first honors with q2.oSO.
The consistency Of this Rayland can
didate has allowed her 10 be up

Mrs. Virginia Jones Iattomus of
this city outlined the use of story
telling in teaching and evolved the
story from It's earliest origin. She
gave several examples Of the correct
method and style in handling this fea.
ture of teaching.
Mistakes in Teaching.
Mistakes in Teaching" was the
subject of an interesting address by
superintendent J. M. Coughlin of
Wilkesbarre, Pa. He told the teach
ers not TO neglect little things; not TO
censure trifIling errors too severely aud
not TO work their classes more than
necessary. He cautioned them not
TO make up through instruction what
the child ehould acquire through prep
arat,on
He said that teachers too often over
look the special gifts Of the children
and fail TO distinguish between unity
and uniformity He pointed out the
advantages that may be obtained by
slight regard for the feelings of the
students.
As the hour was late when Super
intendent Clifford ]. Scott. OF this city.
was called upon for an address. and
several Of the teachers had to leave to
make out-Of-tOwn trains, he postponed
his address until today.
