RURAL SCHOOL NOTES.
Miss Blanche Whites Record-Re-
ports From Hisey, Flynt, Moline,
Hickory Grove and Crow.

Miss Blanche White of Liberty
School. has the banner primer class.
| Already they have read the Elson
and Riverside primers. They know
the sounds of all the consonants and
of the long and short vowels. They
can also spell, write, and do number
work. Miss White has free text
books this year, so she looked around
for some good readers. She selected
/ the Elson, partly because of their eX-
/ cellent manual. She has followed
cards on which she pasted pictures
cut from old books, magazines, etc. to
/ illustrate the different exercises of
the manual. Her pupils now are able
to pronounce the new words that
come up from day to day in their
work. She has three regular pupils
in her class and one other, who I'M
fortunately entered late and missed
a great deal thereby. It will take
her long to catch up unless she has
some good assistance. Perhaps she
never will get it so well as she would
had she started on time. 1t is good
rule to go every day on time. Can
anyone beat this record of Miss
Whites?
Dave Neal one of the Bull Dogs"
that won the championship for the
Kirksville Normal, has begun his
work for the Lyons and Carnahan
Book Company. He is located here
at the Ringo Hotel. I am sure that
he Will be glad to meet the teachers
of the county. If you wish to know
more about good text books call on
him.
Miss Dollie Mckenzie at Hisey
writes that they have bought five
dollars worth of library books, have
posted a copy of study and recitation
periods, have cleaned the outbuild-
ings, have built a new stile, and be-
lieve they deserve to remain on the
approved list
w. L. Ballew reports few more
improvements at Flynt-the stove
has been repaired and the house un-
derpinned.
A. L. Lipp, clerk of Moline, says
the board met Saturday and looked
J after the sanitation of the outbuild-
ings and other matters pertaining to
/ the school. thus making good with
their duties.
T. s. Eichor, clerk of Hickory
| Grove, writes that the board has met
all requirements to keep their
: school on the approved list.
C. f. Barney, clerk of Grow, re-
. ports $3.50 spent for library books,
and that he will soon see to the
cleaning of the toilets. He wants
their school to remain on the APP
r proved list. They expect to make
. important improvements as soon as
!, possible.
e These are fine reports. l hope
= that shall soon receive similar ones
9 from the other approved schools. A
S thing that is not worth working for
J, is not worth having An approved
a school is one that complies with the
J, law, that keeps clean and sanitary
!, All of this costs but little in money
a but is worth so much in good health
to your children, also good Libraries
and other equipment for them. Dc

BY Beatrice Fairfax

There is nothing more splendid than
p real friendship between brother
and a sister. 1t seems to me very tragic
that such friendships are rare. A little
understanding. a little federation. a
little respect for each others viewpoint
and personality would probably make
q real friendship between brother and
Dtster . forsgone conclusion.
NO brother can prove his real in
terest In his sister by taking a sus-
ptcfous attitude toward every friend
she has or by refusing to let her share
the pleasures which he generally ap-
neglectfng her.
And no sister can cement happy re-
1ations with her brother and herself by
nagging at him for everything he does
and by making demands of all sorts
on him by prying into his affairs.
The way to possess a brother worth
having is to be a sister worth having
and of course the converse OF the
proposition Is equally true.
There are few little things and some
large ones In which brothers and sis
ters ought to defer to each other Here
Is just an outline suggestion of them

own individual cases and see what har-
xnony in your family they produce.

love her to much 10 permit her to be
criticised because of her companions.
Don't try to take all her FUN away
from her by cutting her of from the
only people she knows. but exert your
self to substitute other friends. Be
grateful for any little favors she does
you and don't ever demand as your
right the sewing on of buttons or the
mending of socks.
Be thoughtful. considerate, generous;
bring some of the courtesy you show
your sweetheart into the treatment of
your sister. Make a friend and confi-
dante of her. Show a little respect for
her and a little belief in the fact that
she has brains and Judgment and a
logical mind to which you can appeal
even II "she is a woman"
Now, girls, here's your little sermon
cite. Study your brothers tastes and
whims and try to please him with little
bits of attention such as woman has
ii in her power TO offer a man. When
he introduces you to his friends try to
make a good impression: remember he
has certain pride in his own family.
Accept advice with the feeling and
attitude that brother probably knows
whereof he speaks and means 1T for
your own good when he offers sugges-
tions. His worldly wisdom will save
you from mistakes that might be fatal

situations.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WILL STAGE CARNIVAL
Annual Outing at Great Falls on
June l Decided Upon at Session
of Board of Directors.

The annual outing of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce is to be in the
form of a carnival to be staged al
Great Falls, Va, about June 1. This
was decided at special meeting of the
board of, directors of the chamber held
this afternoon.
The directors considered the plan to
have a water trip to Norfolk and return
or to New York by sea, but it was
the consensus of opinion that the out
ing should be confined to an afternoon
so as to get out as large a crowd as
possible.
Details of the carnival are to be
worked out by a committee of which
A. Leftwich Sinclair is chairman. 1t is
understood that bowling on the green
and fishing contest are to be two OF
many features to be provided for the
outing.
The directors voted to suggest to the
Board of Trade the advisa bility of having
a joint rife team.
r. N. Harper reported that the motion
picture films which have been taken un-
der the auspices of the three trade bodies
will be shown before the joint committee
Monday night. The pictures illustrate
scenes in this city and along the route
of the Lincoln highway detour. The ex-
hibition Monday night is for the purpose
Of eliminating any portions that are not
necessary. tF.
