country was one of the most touching
things in history. He spoke of the

Americans, he said, had proved to be
''the goods" What the Germans had
called a mob in uniform had proved

School Notes.

Advisory school boards are beginning
to enquire about fuel for the coming
winter and we wish once more to call
attention of all advisory boards to the
desire of the county board to have
every school where possible to use
wood and save the coal for other uses
as the fuel administration requests.
Toe price fixed by the board for wood,
cut ready for stove and delivered at
schools. is 81 so per cord.
The county schools of Fayette county
open their summer session July % and
the school authorities are hoping that
every school will open then and that
every child will enroll the first day and
each school get down to good hard
work. We want to see the fundamen-
tai subjects taught in our schools in a
way that will give our children degree
of scholarship in these subjects that
will give a solid foundation for their
high school and college education. A
school that does not give scholarship is
a failure. Too many of our young people
after going thru our entire county sys-
TEN and graduating from the high
school fail in their examinations for
teachers certificates, and fail in Arith-
metic, Grammar. Geography, History,
and other elementary subjects. and it
is simply up to our teachsrs in elemen-
tary and high schools to remedy that
condition,
All teachers who desire certificates
to teach should take the examination
here or elsewhere in the state July 10
and 20. The hours are set for each
subject and we urge every teacher to
he prompt at each days examination.
