EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
r. Mabel Horne... County

~ Mabel HOrnp-. County Supt.
Prof. F, M. Mcdowell, of Lamont,
has received the following letter
from the Department of Public In
struction:
Prof. F. NJ. Mcdowell, Graceland
College, Lamont, Iowa.
Dear Sir: The 1915 six week sum-
mer session of the South Central
Iowa Normal Training School at
Graceland College is approved for
credit on the twelve weeks OF nor
NAL training to be required of appli-
cants for admission to the examina-
ton for uniform county certificates
after July LIST, 1915.
Very truly yours,
A. NJ Deyoe,
Pres. Board of Examiners.
This approval of the state depart
ment marks the completion OF the
plans for the summer school at La
moni. The school has in reality,
more than the formal Endorsement
contained in the above letter. 1t is
largely the outgrowth of Inspector
McGlade's visit to the County Nor
NAL Institute last March. Mr.. NC
Glade expressed his surprise that the
Graceland College plant was not utll-
lied for summer school purposes,
especially when the college faculty
numbered such able educators at Mr..
Woodstock and Mr.. Mcdowell. The
enterprise probably would not have
! been undertaken but for this en-
enlargement Superintendent Far
old of Mt Ayr, who conducted the
Ringgold county summer school last
year, was associated with the man
agement when the plans were first
organized. However, the demand for
a summer school at Mt. Ayr became
so insistent, that when the COmmun-
ity Club offered to insure the f1nanc-
ing of the enterprise Mr.. Farold felt
that he must sever his connections
with the school at Lamont to assist
in conducting the one at Mt. Ayr.
His retirement necessitated a read
justment of plans, that has retarded
the completion of final arrangements
! for the school at Lamont.
The people of Ringgold county be-
lieve that Normal Training school
within the county is a great advan-
tage to general, as well as to educa-
tional county interests. They are
right. And what is true of Ringgold
county is equally true Of Decatur.
Teachers and prospective teachers,
who wish to raise the grade, or the
average of their certificate, who
wish to prepare to teach the new
branches, manual training, domestic
science, and agriculture, or to secure
the normal training required for ad-
mission to examination for uniform
county certificates after July l,
1915, will find opportunity to dO>so
in the South Central Iowa Normal
Training school at Lamont. It brings
Normal advantages to many who
otherwise would be deprived OF
them. 3Ss

daily test papers corrected.
School teachers salaries range
from $50 up--but not far enough up
to make them dizzy. On her salary
the teacher must dress nicely. buy
herself things for her work which
the city is too poor to get, go to
twenty-nine lectures and concerts a
year, buy helpful books on pedagogy,
pay her way to district, county and
state institutes, and enjoy herself
during three months vacation

which her salary takes each year. In
addition the teacher is supposed to
hoard away vast sums of money SO
that when she becomes too nervous
and cross to teach, at the age of SO
or thereabouts she can retire and
live forever happily on her income.

OPERATORS
COURAGEOUS
STICK TO THEIR POSTS WHILE
OTHERS FLEE ON MONDAY Az
TERNOON - MANY REMAINED
ON DUTY UNTIL DRIVEN HOME.

Il the Pioneer Telephone company
has such a thing as a hall of fame,
the picture OF every one of the wom-
en- employees OF the local office should
be there. 1t is coming to them for
the courage they have displayed drr-
ing the great crisis just passed.
Monday afternoon, when the ter
rifle explosion rocked the city TO its
very foundations, they, like all others
who could get out OF buildings did so,
but scarcely had the dust settled be-
fore they were back on the job, a
little nervous, perhaps, but plugging
away at the switchboard where pos
sible, and giving the best service pos
sible under the preyaiiing conditions
to a frantic populace.
When the rumor spread that an
other explosion might be expected,
they were ordered from the building
again by officials of the company and
by city officials as well, but, as the
explosion failed to materialize, they
returned to their work. They were
ordered out several times during he
afternoon but each time, as soon as
the minion of the law was around the |
corner they were back at the switch
board.
The service has been somewhat i'm
paired by the wrecked condition OF
the overhead cables in the destroyed |
district, but rapid repairs are being
made. and the service will soon be
normal.
NJ \. Sanders, district commercial
superintendent. of Oklahoma City
and o. D. Sackman of Shawnee, are
in the city looking after affairs, and
they state that they will have every
thing restored as soon as possible.
They were loud in their praise of the
work done by the local office force
and have imported operators from
Hugo, Durant, Oklahoma City. Guth-
rie. Pauls Valley and Madill to -.
lieve the local force.
Yesterday. notwithstanding the
crippled service, over 500 long dis
tance calls were handled, and the
day previous the office was literally
swamped with demands that could
not. under the circumstances. be met.
Aside from all window glass beng
broken, and some plastering tern
from the walls. the building of the
pioneer company is only slightly dam
aged. and everything is running
smoothly. During the rush, for the
twenty-four hours after the explosion,
many of the girls were on constant
duty. and had to be ordered home
by the officials OF the company he
fore they would consent to go. The
officials here appreciate the loyalty
and self-sacrifcing devotion Of the
girls. who stuck to their places while
others were deserving their places of
business and seeking the open. In
the meantime. if the service at pres
ent is a little slow. remember there's
a reason. and before you start 10
'bawl out" the operator on that ac-
count. take a mental slant at yolr-
self and remember that while you
