TO THE PATRONS OF
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

The State Board of Heath has is
sued an order that no pupil be al
lowed to enter school who has not
been successfully vaccinated In COM
plinace with this order we cannot al
low any one to enter school tfsayear
except those that have been success
fully vaccinated. Also there is a law
compelling all persons between the
ages of seven and sixteen to attend
school. If your child expects to at
tend school and has not been vaccin-
ated it would be well to have the
vaccination done at once in order that
their arms may be well before school
begins.
Respectfully,
w. A. ISGRIG,
Supt of Schools.

IMPRESSED
WITH FARM CONDITIONS

Editor Journal was very much
impressed with the thrift and ior-
ward movement of your citizenry, a.
evidenced in the farming lands open-
ed for cultivation between Newark
and Paroquet, especially on the north
side of the railroad 1t begins to
look like the famous Big Bottom.
Then to the south from Newark to
Magness, the situation looks exceed
ingly promising. Surely, Newark
should have a fine business from
these new agricultural developments.

to assemble at the first blast of the
company commanders whistle. In
fact, it is just one shrill whistle from
morning till night, you might say
with the few reeesses taken up by
some kind of work that you an give
your attention to at no other time
and yet must be done according to
schedule. You can get some idea of
the vast amount of work we are do
ing if | tell you we have accomplished
more in one week than did the first
camp men in three weeks. 1t is rum
ored here that we shall finish the
work in a month or a month and a
half and then spend the remainder
Of the time in practical trench fight
ing.
From the looks of the battle ground
on the reservation with all their ziz-
gag trenches, barbed wire entangle-
ment and parapets | should say that
it seems the intention < to give the
student thorough working know
ledge of modern warfare is well
backed by the proper kind of models
and arrangements up-to-date.
OF course most of the course here
is instruction and we are supposed
to be intelligent enough to need but
one explanation. We must learn
quickly and not forget We are shown
but once how to perform a task and
may be called upon at any moment
to explain to the assembly something
that has been barely mentioned the
day before Precision and prompti-
tude and absolute obedience to all
commands is impressed upon US and
one must keep his ears and eyes
open and his mouth closed in order
to grasp everything that is said for
his benefit.
On Saturday we marched for four
hours with full pack and equipment.
The full pack weighs some forty-five
pounds or over and the gun eight and
sixty-nine one hundredth pounds so
you can imagine the endurance re-
quired to stand such tests. Not a
man from our company fell out, while
from some companies they fell out
in large numbers. Since then our
Company, the Eighth Company, form
ed round the old Eleventh Company
has been called the Iron Mans
Company for the great endurance
it showed. | might explain that that
was the first time we were required
to carry the full pack and there was
no gradual working up to the lirit-
ed number of pounds to be carried
as was the case in the first camp.
We must show that we are men or
they remind us our transportation
home is waiting at the paymaster's
office. Thus far the endurance test
