Public School Notes
The teachers who attended the re-
cent meeting of the State Teachers
Association report pleasant and prof
itble time. About six thousand teach
ers were enrolled. The various pro-
grams were exceptionally strong.
Miss Annabelle Sutton of the Hays
Schools, was elected chairman of the
Primary Section for next year. This
is a high honor which Miss Sutton
will carry with credit.
The standard tests or measurements
now being applied to the Hays Schools,
are to determine the efficiency of the
the schools in teaching the fundamen-
tails. The Ayers spelling test has been
completed and shows the Hays schools
about one point above the standard
average. In the Courts test in the
fundamentals of arithmetic, our school
averages Is per cent, while the stand
ard average for schools of the United
States is only IS per cent. Measure
ment tests in geography, reading and
penmanship viii be made later.
Mr. Hull, our efficient and versatile
anitor is teaching High school class
IN manual training.
Tax payers viii notice by their re-
ceipts that the school levy for Hays is
one half mill lower than that Of last
year. Notwith standing this fact the
Board has made extensive improve
ments in the building, fully equipped a
physics laboratory, bought new furni-
ture, employed an extra teacher, and
spent more on general supplies for the
grades, than ever before. 1t is doubt
full if the school money OF any town the
size of Hays is more carefully spent,
or if school patrons get more for their
money.
Some splendid things will be offered

Normal Dr. Winship, DR.. McKeever,

wintered.
W. A. Smith and family and Miss
Lucille Felten returned Monday from
visiting the Panama Exhibition. They
had an exceedingly pleasant trip, and
Mr. Smith says the time and money
was well spent. Such collection OF
and utilities of the differ
ent contries and states viii probably
never be assembled again. All who
can should see there wonders.
John Il. Wood, the land man, viii
leave for New York, Indiana, Ohio and
other eastern states IN the interest of
the land business in short time. Those
wishing to dispose Of their property
should see him before he goes east.

LITTLE MISTLETOE THIS YEAR.
Short Crop Of Christmas Green Along
the Potomac,

Reports received from the country
along the Potomac state that the sup
ply of mistletoe for Christmas will be
slim on the market here unless some
other source of supply is found. For
several years past the country on both
sides of the river have been secured
for this green and for red berried hol
ly, until the country is almost denuded
of both. Mistletoe is particularly
scarce, and is only to be found in iso-
lated growths that are being watched
by their owners with jealous eyes. Mis-
tletoe grows in the greatest profusion
in the Dismal swamp, along the line
Of the canals, and it is said that Wash
ington dealers have planned to obtain
a supply from there. The masters of
several vessels that bring lumber to
this city from North Carolina will
gather it as they come through the
canal on their way to this city if they
find they will arrive here about a week
before Christmas.
