Make Changes Slowly

The text book adoption to serve for
the next five years has just gone into
effect, and much confusion and trouble
can be avoided if teachers and parents
will cooperate and view the matter
rightly.
We have more than year in which
to conform to the new adoption, dur
ing which time any of the text books
which have been in use during the
past five years are cxchangeable for
new books by paying the difference:
Carry your old books to the depository
an dconsult with them as to the eX
change value.
For the average country school, the
better plan for the present Is to or.
ganize your classes as far as possible
in the books the pupils used last year
until 70 ushall have had time to make
careful study to learn IL the proposed
change Is the proper one to be made.
good place to effect change is

School Trustees MtetInQ

The trustees meeting held here last
Friday was complete success in all
respects. The attendance was not as
large as expected, yet was representa-
tive, as nearly all the school districts
had representatives present. The
county superintendent called the meet.
ing to order and introduced the Rev.
w. B. Duncan, who opened the meet
ing with devotional exercises.
Mr.. S. o. O'Bryan was elected per.
manent chairman for this year and in
organizing the association it was de.
cided to hold another convention In
the spring before the schools close.
Mr.. Ellison Capers, newly appoint

change them as part pay for the new

Old books are being taken in at the
depository here daily, and an old book
may be bought to serve in filing up
some deficiencies here and there, and
later on exchanged as part of the cash
value of the new book. Teachers can
thus avoid making a change for the
entire class because one or more
might not be, supplied. This will not
be of any disadvantage to the pur.
chaser, because he can still swap the
old book towards new one later on,
and up to December, 1918.
Many are under the impression that
they must start off by placing their
classes entirely in the newly adopted
books Such is not the case. Take

DETAILS OF ITALIAN AIR RAID.
Austrian Naval Base at Pola Suffers
 Much Damage.

Rome, Aug. IA detailed report on the air raid at pola, the Austrian naval base, on Friday night, shows that it began at fl p. m. and ended shortly after dawn. Each machine carried eight bombs and six gren- ades. The squadrilla carried out the task which comprised a flight of 320 kilometers, i60 of which were over enemy territory, without the loss of a single machine. D'Annu- zio, the poet, was aboard one of the larger planes. The damage was most important. In addition to bombing the arsenal, a naptha de- pot and a sea plane station were set afre and burned The Italian ob- served enormous sheets of flame and columns of smoke which shot up to height of 800 yards.
 The Austrians were unable dur ing the bombardment to extinguish any fires started by the bombs. but kept up a furious fire with their an- ti-aircraft guns while thirty of their most powerful searchlights threw lights over the space where the Italians were flying.

British Front in France and Bel gium, Aug. 7.-The British lines continue to tighten about the French city of Lens, north of Ar ras. Canadian troops, who on Sat- urday night pushed their positions forward approximately 200 yards on a front of a thousand yards, into the western enyirons of the city, late yesterday, added 600 yard front of a similar depth to their de- lenses south and west of the out- skirts of that mining center.
 The Germans have been showing signs of decided uneasiness in the Lens sector for several days as has been evidenced by their practice of throwing a curtain fire on the British trenches each morning at dawn.
 Vimy and Farbus towns behind the British lines south of Lens. all so have been shelled daily by en- emy batteries
 The rest of the British front has continued in state of comparative calm so far as infantry actions have been concerned.
