supposed to have been inspired by
fraternity members among the stu
dents of the University of Missouri,
State Senator E. L. Moore issued a
statement demanding that "the in
famous frat spirit that is running our
college life" be destoyed. Senator
Moore threatened, unless action is
taken to "join the boys from the
sticks in seeing that no more of our
public money is wasted in trying to
make something out of that institu-
ton" He is quoted further as say
ing: "The wanton assault upon Mar
tin is an outrage and win do more to
injure the University than all the
criticism of fraternities and football

up against this fraternity business in
Northwestern University years ago.

Who would think the tin can is a
menace to the public healthP Expert
malaria investigators of the U. S.Pub-
lie Health Service have found that
discarded tin cans containing rain
water are breeding places for the
mosquito which is the sole agent in
spreading malaria. A hole in the bot
tom of the can might have resulted
in the saving of human life. Ger
tainly it would have assisted in pre-.
venting a debilitating illness. Empty
tin cans have no business about the
premises anyway, but if we must
so decorate our back yards, let's see
to it that the can has a hole in the
bottom.

l have asked the teachers to grade
the papers before sending them to
me. A few have neglected to grade
each answer separately. When this
is done it saves me nearly half.
Most of the papers, / find, are
graded too high. Some papers that
can scarcely read because of poor
spelling, poor language and careless
writing are graded higher than 90
Yet, in spite of my close grading,
| am informed that there are those
who hold diplomas that do not know
the multiplication tables!
While the School Board convention
was not so well attended as / could
wish-probably not more than so
present, yet much interest was taken
and the meeting was well worth
while. 1t brought out the fact that
there is a great deal of thinking
done, and a great desire for better
improved schools in the main line
of thought. Mr.. Goss, unfortu-
nately being ill of the grippe, could
not come, but sent his chief clerk,
w. NJ. Oakerson. The latter has been
live County Superintendent for a
number of years and knows well the
problems of the rural schools. o. A.
Wilson, County Superintendent of
Pike, was also present and added
much to the success of the meeting.
He is doing things in Pike.
1 hope that we can have a meeting
next fall just before school begins
with at least one representative from
each district.
On account of the quarantine, the
March Examinations for Teachers
were held at Vandalia in Room G.
The teachers found those new desks
very comfirtable and highly ap-
proved of them for the children.
We are under obligations to Supt
Tugel, Miss Roberts, teacher of Room
6, Mrs. Lewis, teacher in Room z,
and to the School Board for the use
of so comfortable a room.
Those who took the examinations
were: Misses Mary McCann, Farber;
Elizabeth Bright, Farber; Mrs. Edna
German, Sturgeon. Misses Dottie An
CELL, Clark; Retta Burkey, Clark
Verline Diffendoffer, Eve Stone, Mel.

only six had experience.
