TODAY AND TOMORROW

MISS Agnes DDylhBtoi' supervising ieachef
To-Day AND TOMORROW. +
Don't tell me of tomorrow,
There Is much to do today
That can never be accomplished
If We throw the hours away.
Every moment has it's duty;
w hO he future can foretellS
WHY then put off till tomorrow
W hat today can do as well?
This Office has been requested to
lend assistance in the attempt ito re-
tura little James Douglas Glass of
Greeley, Pennsy lvania. to his parents
The boy disappeared mysteriously on
May u, 1918. The latestinformation
secured by commissioner of public
safety, Frank Hague is that the child
was seen shortly after the date of his
disappearance in oneseated Ford
car with two men and a woman as
occupants. Since the receipt of this
information every effort has been
made TO trace the kId-nappers. The
last effort is now being made through
the schools of the Cnited States, it
being supposed that whoever abduct-
ed the child will have entered him in
public school and he is now attend
ing one of the beginners classes. Mr..
Hague urges that all primary teachers
carefully look over tire children un-
der their care In order to ascertain if
the missing child be among them. The
child was six years old on January
81, is of fair complexion, with heavy
light hair, has two crowns, blue eyes,
good teeth, full face and was especial
ly attractive. This appeal for infor-
nation comes from Chas. Glass, 10
iienau Place, Jersey City, \. j.,
father of the child. and from Frank
Hague, Commissioner of Public Safe
ty. Jersey City, \. j.
We wish to correct an error which
crept into an item in our last week s
column stating that the school board
aud Montreal Mining Co. had Sc
cured the services of a visiting nurse,
Mrs. Alvilda COlbertsOn, to inspect
the school children of this district
This work was accomplished through
the efforts of the Woman's Communi-
ity Civic Club. committee of which
conferred with the school board and
secured their permission. We are
glad to report that very small per-
centage of the children were found
defective.
The Reading Circle diplomas and
seals have been received at this office
and we request that each teacher at
her earliest convenience notify us of
the number of her pupils who have
earned these honOrs so that all delays
may be avoided.
Dates are being fixed for the pre-
liminary spelling contests to be held
IN each town during the latter part of
April or the first week in May. Each
teacher will receive notice in due
time. We wish to direct your atten-
ton to four typographical errors in
the spelling list which are as follows:
beneiicient for beneticent; defaultor
for deiaulter: eXistance for existence
and hyprocrte for hypocrite. Tea
chers will he expected to correct these
errors.
The following extract is taken from
the Rock County Educational Bulletin
but expresses the conditions of Iron
county so we'll that 1t bears repeating /
School visits show that nearly all
teachers are improving in their work
to a greater or less degree this year.
! Most of them are trying harder to be
good h0usekeepers. to maintain good
( discipline, to follow the course of
study closely. to plan and prepare
daily lessons and work at seats, to
have purpose in each recitation, to
do thorough work each day, to relate
school work and home work, to in
terest school boards and the parents
in he needs and work of the school. |
and in some measure to be leaders in
the community. Are you doing your
best in these worthy lines of work."
