County School Notes.

for their children. The result Is that
they move to town where they may
be under the influence of better
schools. or they send their children
TO board In the nearest town. I be.
lieve there Ii no better place for the
boy or girl than right on the farm.
and that sending them to the city will
educate them away from the farm.
The country boy. who remains on the
farm must know about the things that
will help him to be a successful far.
mer. The country school should help
him along this line.

work for next year that " the parents
and teachers will cooperate, will give
the boys and girls added interest In

them habits of industry and helpful.

1000 kids" GUESTS
OF SALVATION ARMY
Happy Youngsters Taken to
Marshall Hall for Outing on
Steamer Manchester.

One thousand smiling faces belon ging
to 1.000 chattering children peered over
the rail Of the steamer Manchester as she
drew away from her dock at the foot OF
Seventh street this morning. Handker-
chiefs fluttered and shrill voices
shouted farewclls to friends on the
wharf. The Salvation Army had charter
ed the boat and was giving an outing
to the small dwellers in hot homes
where little happiness creeps In.
The excursion was not confined ex-
clusisvely to children. Many Of the
smaller ones were accompanied by their
mothers. And the grown-ups appeared
to be as incerely happy and appreciative
as the veriest smudge-faced boy on the
boat.
Through its agents the Salvation Army
distributed the tickets several days ago
and Brigadier William Escott, the a.
visional officer, with fifteen asistan nts
was at the wharf to greet the guests OF
the army.
At Marshall Hall n program has beer
arranged that will include entertain
ment and amusement for practically
every minute until the steamer Starts
beck at i:30.
Lunches were distributed at noon; a'
30 o'clock mothers were given milk fol
their babies. and at 3 o'clock every one
will be served with Ice cream.

other. The theory that wins probably
