CONTRARY SORT OF WORLD
Most Powerful Stories of Love and
Domestic Bliss, Written by
the Unmarried.

The more popular books for chill
dren have been written by the child
less, and some of the most powerful
stories of love an" domestic bliss or
misery have been written by unmar-
ried women and men.
And then, as you probably know, al
most everyone thinks he knows more
about other branches of business than
the one in which he is engaged.
The average man can recall the time
when he thought the other fellows job
was much easier than his, and was
haunted more or less with the notion
that If he had taken up almost any
thing but what he had he would have
made great success of it.
1t Is said there has never, or hardly
ever, been great comedian who didn't
believe, or think he believed, that his
forte was tragedy; and as if not to be
out lone, the successful tragedian never
ceases to curse the luck that prevented
MIN from being a comedian.
You may not think this is a contrary
sort of world, but there are lot of
people who do.

beautiful that had ever been written
along the lines treated by DR.. Mulvey.
When the Milwaukee Journal pub
lished the poem in full, in one of it's
Sunday editions, number of requests
were received to have the poem re-
vised so that it would include stanzas
on women who enjoy suffrage, in the
various states. This was done and the
poem was circulated in these states
where women are permitted to vote.
DR. Mulvey was surprised and de-
lighted when he received the picture
last Saturday.

on the works of Shakespeare or to give
an original address of any kind Miss

SUPT. UTNE STARTS NEW
M. S. GRADING SYSTEM
Letters To Be Used Instead of Per-
centages; Prof. Utne Attends
Conference

Morris high school students re
ceived their grades for the first six
weeks work yesterday, graded by
the new letter system instead of the
percentage system used in the local
schools for many years. The grades
of the student will be represented by
the letters A, B, c, D and F. The
grade A, will indicate grade of eX-
ceIlent or very superior and ordin-
arily 10 per cent of class would
receive this grade. The grade B in
dicates good work and above the
average, and ordinarily would in
cIude 20 per cent of the class. The
grade of C is given for average work
and usually 40 per cent of the class
are given this rating. D is a pass
ing grade but is below the average
work. Ordinarily 20 per cent of the
class would receive this grade. The
lowest grade, that of F is for work
that is below passing or failure and
usually 10 per cent of the class re-
ceive this grade.
THE fault with the percentage
SYSTEM" said Supt. Utne, lis that
no teacher is qualified to make fine
distinctions in grading. For in
stance no teacher can say that one
pupil is deserving of the grade of SO
and another pupil deserves SO. 1t is
easier and more logical way of
grading to group the classes into
five groups with the pupils doing the
average work and forming the bulk
of the class as a basis for grading"
THE second objection to the per-
centage system is that the difference
in grading by the different teachers
does not indicate the work of the
pupil. AS an example of this, last
year one of the high school teachers
gave two thirds of the pupils in the
class a grade of 80 per cent or bet
ter. Another teacher that had many
of the same pupils did not give a
grade above SO in a large class. A
pupil could have received the grade
of 80 in both classes and in the one
would have received the highest
mark and in the other would have
received a very low mark"
The grouping Of the class into five
divisions for the grading is never to
be arbitrarily made. The new sys-
tenn does not necessarily mean that
10 per cent of the pupils would re-
ceive marks of "A" and that another
10 per cent would be failed. The
grading Of the new letter system
will follow certain general rules but
they will not be drawn arbitrarily
Each student will be given the grade
he deserves and the marks given by
one teacher will mean the same as

BUS IS ORDERED FOR
CARRYING CHILDREN
Fifteen School Children Living
Southwest of Morris Will Be
Transported to City Schools

The large carry-all or bus for the
transporting the school children liv-
ing two miles or further from Nor
ris to school every morning and back
to their homes at night has been or
dered by the school board of Nor
ris. The bus was ordered this week
from the Northwestern School Sup
ply Co., of Chicago, and it is expect
ed that it will be here within the
coming week.
The state will pay $500 fiat aid
for the maintenance of this bus and
also cents per mile per pupil per
day. The latter aid will amount to
SO per day or $50 per month. The
Morris public schools receive this
aid because they have recently been
designated as a consolidated school.
Fifteen children living southwest
of Morris will be transported by the
new bus. They are children of the
following farmers: S. A. Julius,
John Beimel, Martin Anderson, Cliff
BOwlin, J. w. Behl and H. Berghrer.

As to Fuel

The coal situation is not any too
bright at this writing and desperate
efforts are being made on the part Of
the Commission Of Public Safety to
see that an adequate supply Is sent
to Minnesota and the Northwest. 1t
is we'll at this time to call attention
to the advantages Of laying in an ex-
ira supply of wood to guard against
the almost certain coal shortage
Many families in villages and rural
communities can buy wood nearby
at reasonable prices and instead Of
waiting in uncertainty for coal,
every effort should be made to use
wood as far as possible in order to
conserve the coal supply now on
hand. Farmers can easily supply
themselves by shouldering ak and
saw and securing their supply from
their own timber land. The coal
question is a vital one to the North
west and the Commission Of Public
Safety urges stringent conservation
and the use of substitutes to large
degree, wherever possible.

Children to Share in Liberty Loan

Children to Share in Liberty Loan
Superintendent Utne has worked
out a system whereby the boys and
girls in the public school will be able
to do their part in the purchase OF
Liberty Bonds. Children who have
savings accounts amounting to fifty
dollars or more will be urged to in
vest their money in Liberty Bonds.
Children who have not sufficient
money to purchase whole bond will
be given the opportunity to buy
shares in a bond. The shares will
be worth one dollar each, and pu-
pill may buy from one to fOrty-n1ne
of them. He will be given a cert1-
ficate stating that he has purchased
a certain number of shares in fifty
dollar bond of the par value of one
dollar each, payable at the maturity
of the bond and drawing interest at
the rate of four per cent year, pay
able twice a year, the 18th of Nov
ember and the 18th of May, the
same as the bond itself.
This arrangement is made posi-
BILE thru the patriotic offer of the
Morris National Bank to receive the
subscriptions of the school children,
issue the certificates to them as de-
scribed above, buy the required num-
Der of bonds, keep these in trust for
the holders of the certificates, and
to pay the interest and principal
when due Much credit is due the
bank officers for offering to go to
this trouble and expense in order
that the boys and girls of Morris
may do their bit'' in the present
Liberty Loan Campaign.
This system should mean not only
the purchase of several Liberty
Bonds but it should help to teach
the children the lessons of patrio-
tism and thrift. They are rendering
patriotic service to our country, and
at the same time they are saving and
investing money. They are lOaning
their dollars to the government and
receiving four per cent interest on
their loans.
1t is to be hoped that a large num-
Der of boys and girls will, through
the cooperation of their parents,
participate in the purchase of Lib
erty Bonds.
