No Free Favorable Mention

Superintendent of one of the
Linn county public schools sends
The BLADE a circular of informa-
tion giving the course of study and
a page of notes concerning the
school. He also writes us that any
favorable mention in the next
issue of our paper will be highly
appreciated. At the bottom of the
page of notes is this paragraph:
The school issues a paper and
will own its own printing press
this year." OF course this means
that all printing for the school will
be done by the students, thus
taking the patronage away from
the newspapers and legitimate
printing offices. Andrew jackson
is a newcomer to Linn county but
he will learn in time that the news
papers are not so easily duped as
he supposed.

LacIede Boy to France

A former Laclede boy will soon
be in service in France. Chas.
Wood received word Monday from
his son William that his company
has been ordered over the sea and
is expecting to leave any time now.
Young Wood enlisted in the regu-
lar army over a year ago and spent
some time on the border. He is
now at Fort Myer, Va, where he
has been stationed since troops
were withdrawn from Mexico. He
is in the hospital service and few
weeks ago married a daughter of
the head surgeon. She is a trained
nurse and will accompany her
husband to the front. Wood wSs
born in Laclede 19 years ago and
his father still lives here.

Made Second Call

Out of the 362 men called before
the examination board three weeks
ago many failed to pass the physi-
cal examination and many were
granted exemption. In order to
get Linn county's quota of 18l
100 more were called before the
board on Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week. From Laclede
Robert N. Dye, Grover F. Peacher,
Garland Duncan, George l.. Bren-
ner and Andrew B. Henderson
were called for Wednesday and
Virgil Elliston, John E. Tooker
and Edgar S. Barton were called
for Thursday.

Notice to Parents and Guardians

The school board calls attention
to the fact that the state law per-
mits no child who will not be six
years old by January l, 1918, to
attend school during that term.
This law will be strictly adhered to.
All books, excepting writing and
drawing materials, will be furnish
ed free to the first four grades.
Anyone having second hand books
required in these grades and in
good condition will be allowed 80
per cent of their original value.

Weather Conditions Good

The rains of the past ten days
have done an immense amount sof
good and the ground Is now pretty
we'll moistened. Owing to rather
cool nights the weather of the last
week in Missouri averaged cooler
than normal. The sunshine, how
ever, was about normal, and on
the whole conditions were favor
able for farm products and outdoor
occupations. AS a rule, though,
the sol is in excellent condition,
and blowing for wheat has made
satisfactory progress; in some
localities this work is about COM
pleted. Corn is caring we'll in all
sections and the prospects are ex-
cellent. Pastures are generally
good; those affected by the July
drouth have revived to nearly full
sustaining value, except in a few
localities in several of the more
northern counties. The apple crop
continues from fair to good.

Everything PrOpitiOus For Most
Successful Term

The Laclede public schools open
Monday, September 3, and every
thing looks favorable for most
successful school year. The build
ing has been thoroughly cleaned
and put in first class shape and
arranged for good school work.
Country students should plan to
attend the Laclede high school.
It is fully accredited and furnishes
as good advantages as any school
in this part of th9 state; tuition
and board are cheaper here than
most places while the. moral sur
roundings are good. The superin-
tendent or any member of the
board will assist pupils in securing
rooms or board and getting them
pleasantly located.
The faculty this year is com
posed of Fl. L. Crookshank, super
intendent; Miss Minnie Trippeer,
principal of high school; Miss Elsie
Winkelmeyer, assistant in high
school; and in the grades are Miss
Cassie Heath, language and read
ing; Miss Helen Mckee, history
aud geography; Miss Dora Coins,
mathematics and spelling; Miss
Nellie Barber, primary.
Miss Winkelmeyer of Hale, the
new assistant in the high school,
IS a graduate of Stephens College
at Columbia and comes with the
high recommendation of the faculty
of that institution. She will teach
English and German.
Miss Mckee of Macon, the other
new teacher, is a graduate of the
Macon high school and teachers
training course. She will teach
history and geography in the
grades. Supplementary art and
music will also be under her di-
rection. She has done a great
amount of special work in each.
The other members of the faculty
are all we'll known to the patrons
and pupils having been with the
school for several terms and each
haves played an important part in
building up the school to its
present high standing, being on
the fully accredited list of high
schools of the state.
