did not keep the patrons of the
school from coming to Duly with
well-filled baskets and the best
things to eat. The morning was
spent in regular school work.
After dinner Washington's
Birthday program was given with
credit both to pupils and to
teacher, Miss Bessie Day. A few
days before, the board had Sc
cured a 35-foot pole and set it
up for a hag-pole. The rain al
most spoiled this part of the pro-
gram. But the school was not
to be outdone and went thru the
ceremonies in a very creditable
manner.
1t was a fitting remembrance
of the day, and recalled to us
how much we owe to the Gath
er of Our Country"
1t also impressed upon us love
and reverence for our flag. Are
we teaching our children these
lessons as much as we should?
Have you seen children throw
the Stars and Stripes down in
the dirt and trample it? Can we
afford to permit thisY
The Duly school is one of the
first rank schools. 1t has a large
valuation, and can have the best.
They are planning to make other
improvements in the near future
which will greatly add to the
comfort of the children and also
to the attractiveness of the
school house.
Friday was another stormy
day, Miss Culbertson and her pu-
pills gave a program in honor of
George Washington. The pro-
gram was very interesting, very
impressive, and reflected great
credit upon all. A little play
representing the making of the
first flag deserves special men
ton. Messrs. Hebel and Wake
field, of the board, were present,
as well as other patrons. Sneed
has a small valuation. They as
sess themselves as much as the
law allows, and are doing the
best they can. They have a good
barn, a good coal house and other
outbuildings and a good we'll
lately fixed up. Their window
blinds are also new. So you see,
they are not neglecting their du-
ty, but are improving their con-
ditions as rapidly as they can.
The school is quite a success,
and all are well pleased.
Wednesday, Messrs. Gard and
Tanner, Of the board, and my
self visited the Maple Grove
school. They now have a good,
new barn and other outbuildings,
a new fence in front, and the
corner posts set for the rest of
the fence. The building is pleas
ant and comfortable and well
equipped with books and maps.
This is Miss Hickman IS first
school. She is proving herself a
very capable teacher. Wednes-
day afternoon, l visited at Jesse.
l had not notified the board of
my coming. Mrs. McKeehan has
the largest enrolment in the
county. Her enrolment has near
| ly reached sixty. 1t is a rare day
when her attendance is less than
40. was very much surprised at
her pupils handiwork. She has
16 in the ga" class, and the
work they have ON exhibition
merits great praise. The other
classes are getting theirs ready.
Mrs. McKeehan will give some
Iprizes for the best work. AS
some special language work, she
had the pupils a few days ago
write birthday greetings to
James Whitcomb Riley. Now,
the pupils are pricing very high

As to the possibility of Greece becoming involved, government off, cials assert that the acknowledged friendship of the Greek ruler is suff1- cient guarantee that the nation will not |enter the struggle save as an ally of the Teutonic alliance. The much her. |a1ded new army of Serbia is being ri- diculed by the Berlin press which as- serts that it is composed of the aged, the lame and the children of the land. It is said that the largest levy consists of men from sixty to seventy years of age and the only strong and youthful portion is composed of boys of fifteen and sixteen.
