VISITS HOME OF OVERLAND

The editor Of the NaWs-Bud3et
spent the fore part of the week at
Toledo in attendance at the Over
land dealers convention. The conven-
ton was the biggest and greatest
event of it's kind ever pulled off in
this country and was a striking DEM
onstration of the scale, thoroughness
and liberality with which this con-
Germ accomplishes anything it under
takes.
We have neither time or space tnls
week for detailed description of the
great gathering of Overland deaers
and boosters who came in special
trains from every part of the united
States. Next week we may attempt
to describe few of the high lights
Of the convention, the plant and or
ganizatiOn.
| No one could attend this conven-
ton and not return home filled with
enthusiasm for the overland organl-
zation and the line it stands back
of. for the luxurious facilities and ac-
commodations of the trip, the cordial
hospitality with which we were
greeted and entertained, for the
perfection of detail that character
| lied all plans for the visit, and for
the many courteous personal atten-
tions We received from Officials and
employees of the Willys-Overland COM
pany, from the highest to the low

Oh! still do l love thee, and love tn.

gram as convenient after the holiday

meetings during January and Febru-
airy.
Teachers concerned will please bea1

ers' examinations; at the court house

grade subjects offered this time Can
didates will bring legal cap paper
Pens and ink will be furnished.
We are pleased to know that only
very few teachers contemplate dis
continuing teaching at this vacation
1t is better to complete the full years
work, if you can advisedly.

) TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES ):
~ Sa
q 3 . ) : )

The last two weeks have been eX-
ceptionally busy weeks. First there
Was the Teachers Institute. 1t would
be difficult to imagine more sue
cessful meeting. The exercises were
practical: the attendance taxed the
capacity Of the room; the careful
guiding hand of Supt. Rice was plain
ly felt in everything.
Last week the school had a very
profitable time listening to four lee
lures by Professor w. D. Frost, pro-
fessor of agricultural bacteriology in
the Agricultural School of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Professor Frost
lectured on "Tuberculosis'; "Other
FInfectious Diseases; Milk; "Ty-
phoid Fever. The lectures were IL
lustrated by charts, cultures of bac-
| terra and specimens of human lungs
and intestines. The simplicity of the
language used together with the sci
entific accuracy made very deep
| Impression upon our students. The
result is bound to- be better health
teaching in the rural schools Of the
county.
A letter issued by the U. S. Com
missioner of Education last week con
tains some interesting facts: There
We're in 1916 in all the schools OF
the United States 23,500,O00 persons
about "a per cent Of the entire
population of the U. S. This is com
pared with the 19 per cent Of Great
Britain, II per cent of France, 20 per
cent of Germany, per cent CT Rus
sia. These people were taught by
1860 teachers, a little mere than
two thirds of whom are women. The
number of female teachers is increas-
ing very rapidly, while that of the
male teachers is decreasing still morI
rapidly. The cost of this education is
nearly one billion dollars, a little
more than half being spent on the
elementary schools.
The principal Of the Training
School attended a community meet
ing at Amacoy Lake Saturday. The
attendance was not as large as ii
might have been. The reasons fol
this smaller attendance were given
as the cold weather and the increased
amount of work for the women al
Christmas time. These are valid rea
sons, and should be taken into con
sideration when fixing dates for the
meetings There was good interes
and enthusiasm shown. DR.. Claxton
Commissioner Of Education of the U
S. says about such meetings.: "They
represent an opportunity for develop
ing a better spirit of cooperation
and understanding among all citizens
Of America as they are coming t
make full use of this neighborhoot
equipment, and they generate broade
sympathy and understanding anon;
those who represent by descent al
the nations Of the world"
The school closes for the Christina
vacation Thursday of this week an
will oDen again January 3rd. Their
was given a joint program Of tn
model school and the Training scECC
Thursday afternoon.
The school wishes a Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New year to al
the schools of the county and t
their teachers, but especially t
those teachers who have been stl
dents of the school.

PROGRAM AT ST. MARY'S SCHOOL
Visit From Santa the Big Feature
From Chidren's
Standpoint

the ST. Mary school Thursday was
a great success and highly creditable
to those who took part therein. The
vocal and musical numbers showed
more than ordinary talent. The Girls
Choral and, likewise, the Boys Choir
al are to be especially complimented.
The reading from Ben Hur," by
Miss Geraldine james, was admirably
delivered. The several other express
sion numbers were also indicative CT
much talent and superior training.
The paper on "The Christmas Motif
in Music and Art prepared and read
| by Miss Georgiana Baribeau, brought
out very lucidly the idea Of what
would be lacking in art in general
were Christianity to be excluded from
the world
The program was followed by a
visit from Santa Claus, who made
happy the hearts Of the little ones,
who looked eagerly forward to his
coming. Needless to say, Santa was
warmly greeted.
