COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Supt. G. w. Signer of the Bismarck
schools has tried out the Ayres spell
ing test with very satisfactory re-
suits. Accurately testing results is
a "fad" that has come to stay. Some
of our most eminent educators are de-
voting great deal of their time to
perfecting tests that will absolutely
standardize the work in the various
fundamental subjects.
The pupils and teachers of the Doe
Run public schools feel very much in
debted to Justice ]. l.. Cleveland for
fine set of Encyclopaedia Britannica,
consisting Of thirty two volumes. This
is a most practical and valuable gift
and Mr.. Cleveland is warmly to be
commended for his generosity and pub
lie spiritedness.
Miss Elizabeth G. Powers of the
Dent school states that she is finding
the Reading Circle books very inter-
esting and instructive.
Advance enrollments for the M. S.
7. A. are coming in at every mail.
Let us enroll 100 per cent of the st.
Francois county teachers for the big
St. Louis meeting November 1918.
Mrs. NJ H. Byington, teacher of the
7th grade in the Pennington schools,
is surely breaking all records for Sc
curing good attendance. For the sec
ond month her per cent of attendance
was 99.48. She started that month
with six perfect days, then came four
days when her attendance was not
perfect. The last ten DAYS of the
month, however, were perfect, giving
her a truly remarkable record. She
has started the third month with two
perfect days and it would be difficult
to predict just where she is going TO
stop. Said attendance record is all
the more remarkable because she has
forty-four pupils enrolled. Note that
at this writing she has had twelve
consecutive days of perfect attend
ance.
Miss Della M. Porterfield of the
Coonville school has completed the
first two months of her school with
out single case Of tardines. Some
of her pupils have to travel distance
of three miles to school but are always

A new book on Cancer has just been
published by DR.. 0. A. Johnson, Suite
$40, 1920 Main St., Kansas City, Mo-,
which shows how cancer has been
treated by combination medical
treatment and proven so efficient there
is no longer any question or doubt
about the treatment for most kinds
of cancer if taken in time. Absolute
proof of this treatment can now be
verified by living witnesses who were
treated three to fifteen years ago.
Write to-day for a copy of the book.
