COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Elsa Reichert, Supervisor Of
Music and Drawing in the Elvins
schools, recently took the lead in the
staging of very interesting schoo'
program. Many of the patrons were
present and spent very pleasant af-
ternoon. The giving of such pro-
grams has an educational as well as
a social value. If people would only
visit the schools oftener, meet each
other there, as well as the teachers,
many and enduring attachments would
be formed. The pupils would profit
by the attainment of grace that
could not otherwise be acquired.
Miss Viola Thurman of the Roughly
school writes, "School is progressing
nicely but we have such a limited
amount of material to work with.
However, we are preparing to give a
play and box supper soon for the pur-
pose of raising money with which to
purchase supplementary books. | am
trying to follow the State course of
study"
Prof. r. r. Myers, formerly % the
Elvins schools, but now principal of
the Mark Twain school of Webster
Groves, was pleasant caller one day
last week. He had with him his bride
of few days which no doubt had
much to do in accounting for his ex-
uberant geniality. He states that one
of his eighth grade boys won the con-
test conducted by the Electric Com
pany of Missouri for the best essay
on "The Use of Electricity in the
Home" Mr.. Myers is to be congrat-
ulated twice, his pupil once.
A Christmas entertainment was
given by the teachers and pupils of
the Doe Run High School on last Fri
day afternoon. A rather unique plan
was in operation by which every pu-
pill received at least one present, no
one being slighted. A. beautifully
decorated tree, darkened room, and
an appropriate program were large
factors in contributing to the genuine
Christmas spirit which prevailed.
Supt. G. w. Signer of the Bismarck
schools has a plan for the securing of
books by which he is
enabled to save from so to 65 per cent
of the usual cost. If interested, write
him for full particulars.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 4.-lmmediat'
declaration of war against Austria Hun
gary was recommended to Congress to-
day by President Wilson. He did not
however, recommend a declaration
against Turkey and Bulgaria at this
time.
Immediate war against Austria" the
president said, was necessary to meet
the anomalous situation the United
States faces in the war with Germany
even though Austria was not her own
mistress and merely vassal of Ger
many"
in ringing, definite terms the president
declared that nothing shall turn the
United States until the war is won and
Germany is beaten. All talk of peace he
pronounced out of the question. Peace,
the president declared, could ceme only
when the German people make it through
rulers the world can trust, when they
make reparation for the destruction their
present rulers have wrought and when
Germany recedes from all territory
acquired by armed conquest.

GREAT RESULTS
ARE PROMISED
As the Result of the Inter-A Allied Con.
ference Which Has Just Been
Concluded in Paris.

Paris. Dec. 4.-The inter-allied wal
conference was closed yesterday with q
brief address by Colonel L. NJ. House
chairman of the American mission. Col
House, delivering the closing address al
the request of Premier Clemenceau, said;
IN. Clemenceau, the president of the
French council in welcoming the dele
gates to this conferece, declared that
we had met to work His words were
prophetic There has been coordination
and a unity of purpose which promise
great results for the future. 1t is my
deep conviction that by this unity and
by concentrated effort we shall be able
to arrive at the goal which we have set
out TO reach.
In behalf of my colleagues, | want TO
avail myself of this occasion to thank
the officials of the French government,
and through them the French people, for
the warm welcome and great considera-
ton they have shown us. In coming
to France we have felt that we were
coming to the house of our friends Ever
since our government was founded there
has been a bond of interest and sympa-
thy between us-a sympathy. which this
war has famed into a passionate adj
miration. The history of France is a
history of courage and sacrifice: there
fore the great deeds which have illlumi-
mated the last three years have come as
no surprise to us of America. We knew
that when called on France would rise
to a splendid achievement and would add
lustrc TO her name.
America salutes France and her heroic
sons and deeds honored to fight by the
side of so gallant comrade'
