 Mir. Shelton has been trying a radical feature in school gov ernment at Allendale, At least it seems so from the unlimited amount of comment it has caused. Owing to the intense heat, he has allowed all students, who made passing grades. the privilege of the grounds for study. It has been proved that on the garb of modern methods in school life so the Ground Study" periods have been abandoned.
 The writer recently noticed an article which stated that person who had spent his or her life in teaching for 10 years was henceforth unfit for any other occupation or for teaching
 
 either. Why is it that so many of our noblest and truest men and women have spent many many years in the school room and THEN AMOUNTED TO SOME THING. Evidently the author of that article was a successful failure.
 The only reason that we can attributed for the fact that MT. Harvey let his companion fall from the wagon on the return from the fishing trip Saturday is that he lost a considerable amount of sleep in his circuitous route home Friday night.
