trade. Prices were considered soc to
75c lower.

Flag Raising at Peru.

Thursday afternoon, February
%, Peru was the scene Of a very
enjoyable occasion. Recently the
Lone Oak W.. c. r. U. presented
the school with beautiful flag
and Thursday was chosen as the
day for it's raising.
TIL" Brackncy and Pleasant
Valley schools, who wcres also
present with flags, were invited
to take part in the exercises and
arrived about onc-thirty on wag-
one decorated with flags. Soon
after the members of the w. G.
II. L. and many of the patrons az
rived and the schools aided by the
Union presented a very enjoyable
patriotic program.
During this time number of
the men had been busy with the
flag pole and soon the crowd was
watching the flag rise to the top
for the first time. The children
gave the national flag salute as
the flag reached the top and all,
led by the schools, sang "Three
Cheers for the Red, White and
Blue Immediately afterward.
ALI seemed to turn away re-
luctantly. when homecoming time
came. 1t seemed an occasion long
to be remembered and we feel
that our schools should be the
scene of such gatherings more
frequently. X.

School Patrons Meeting.

One Of the most pleasant an(
interesting days in the history Of
the Miami Center School occurred
last Friday when their first Par
nt-Teacher meeting was held.
The teachers, pupils and moth
ers Of the district co-operated
to make it a day long to be re.
membered by all who were so for.
tunate as to attend.
The morning was devoted to q
literary program well rendered
by the pupils supplemented by a
paper by Mrs. Coleman on the joy
and dignity of service and a talk
by j. V. Knight on the RESPONSE
bility of the rural teacher.
At high noon a sumptuous din
ner was served to which all did
full justice, some of the small
boys even going so far as to in
capacitate themselves for further
usefulness the balance of the
week.
The afternoon was given to
some able addresses by educators
of note, the first on the program
being Rev. Talbert of Butler who
dwelt on the moral responsibility
belonging to the school life and
the great opportunity offered to
teachers of the young to impress
them with the beauty and real
worth of the Higher Life.
Mrs. B. E. Parker of the Adrian
school gave a very instructive and
much appreciated talk on the
question of physical condition of
the scholar and the necessity of
proper nourishmcnt and sanitary
environments and the value of
warm lunch at midday during
the winter months. She has dem
onstrated her work in the Adrian
High School that warm lunch can
be served at an expense surpris-
ingly small and also the value to
the scholar in having this healthy |
stimulcnt, as shown in the better
work they are able to do. This
feature will probably be intro
duccd into the Miami Center
school next year.
Prof. Henderson of the Butler
High School gave an able talk on
the value of education in that it
gives a broader view of life and
the possessor to do much
good in the world that otherwise
would remain undonc. Too many
nave the narrow view that cduca-
,oin enables one to live without
work, while better education in
is fullest sense means ability to

Prof. b. f. Parker of the
Adrian High School gave prac-
zeal talk ON the value of an cdu-
,ation as applied to the common
walks of life, in the past it was
leemcd sufficient for the profess
ional men to be educated, but

This meeting accomplished
,reat good and we hope will be
nut the forerunner Of many such.
Much credit is due Miss Rock
lold, the teacher of the school, for
.rranging this treat for the pat
ons of the district. She has &C.
omplished wonders in the short

veflks and for tire real good done
