WEEKLY news NOTES BY
COUNTY Superintendent

The Northeastern Ohio Teachers
Association is scheduled to meet in
Cleveland on Friday and Saturday,
Oct. rs and 26. Principals and super
intendents having unsold tickets must
return them at once that others who
have not yet been supplied may have
them.
Monthly report cards have been
sent to Principals and Superintendent
in general. Teachers in the one room
rural schools may secure their cards
from the respective principals or su-
perintendents.
Teachers should look after cases of
tiuancy and report them promptly,
preferably first to the county superin-
tendent.
AS result of our visits to the
schools, the following suggestions
would seem to be in place: the proper
seating of pupils in many cases should
be looked after The desk should fit
the child; the entering and leaving the
building could, in many cases, be much
improved l do not believe in "the
iron hand rule", but a reasonable plan
of entering and leaving the building
is important; the manners and deport-
ment of pupils toward visitors and
others needs attention. This is true
of high school pupils as well as the
other grades; more supervision should
be in evidence at the noon hour.
This is a good time to exert some
wholesome influence upon the pupils
and teach some very valuable lessons;
especially in good weather the pupils
should all leave the building at inter-
missions and games should be engaged
in. The teachers, while not playing,
may introduce many new games from
time to time and thus be of great SER
vice to the children and solve some of
the disciplinary cases that arise; there
are many indoor games, also, that may
be used during inclement weather to
the mutual advantage of both pupils
and teachers. The building, itself,
might derive a benefit from such pro-
cedure; ventilation needs more atten-
tion than it usually gets from teach
ers; this is practical sanitation and
hygiene. Window shades should be
adjusted to the degree of light and
looked after at different times during
the day. The shades should be in
working order; pictures should be
properly hung; those which are tilted
to one side or the other might we'll be
Strengthened; in few instances the
clocks might be hung where they could
be wound and looked after, that they
may indicate the proper time. The
common drinking cup was found in
several places. Merely to mention
this ought to be sufficient; rooms could
in many cases be greatly improved by
little thought on the part of teach
ers and pupils.

This gives an opportunity for CO.
operation of the right sort. Let us
beautify our rooms as much as possi-
BILE. The janitor service is in several
places very poor. This is matter of
much greater Importance than many
imagine. A good janitor looks after
the health of the pupils by keeping
the building scrupulously clean. This
means more than fourishing a broom
little. 1t extends on occasions to
the use of soap, water and disinfec-
tant. A little washing at the opening
OF the year is not sufficient. One some
times wonders why janitor is hired
at all. This is an important position
and the service should be paid for and
insisted on. A janitor is the sanitary
engineer. In many instances the maps
and apparatus needed are not in the
places where they may be used. More
use of such aids and devices should
be employed; a little time will be
granted principals and superinten-
dents in which to look after and check
apparatus, library, etc. To do this
properly secure and read carefully
"Ohio High School Standards" Your
charters depend upon having these
minimum requirements.
The State Department will favor us
this year on the teacher problem"
but not on other points. 1t is the
business of the principal or superin-
tendent to acquaint his board with
these requirements. If such principal
or superintendent fails to do this, he
is the one to blame when the charter
is on the point of being taken away.
On the other hand, if the principal or
superintendent has done this, the
board is then to blame if such action
follows.
The State Department is holding
me, your county superintendent, res
ponsible for seeing that the lecommen
dations made by said department are
lived up to. | believe, first of all, in
the Standards" secondly, the law ex-
poets me to believe in them. I shall
work untiringly for good schools, real
schools, not paper" schools. 1t is
not good policy, much less good edu-
cation to claim classification to
which we are not justly entitled
shall use every precaution to be rea-
sonable and just, but | shall gloss over
nothing which discloses the failure of
some one to do his duty. Let us i'm
prove and keep our education and edu-
cational facilities in harmony with the
time in which we live.
After brief time | shall invite the
State high school inspector to visit all
our schools in order that we may know
just where we stand. Teachers have
influence and should have more. As
teachers it is our business to show the
people what they get educationally for
the money expended. You should help
to show how necessary it is that the
schools get more money. Our schools
should be the social centers of the
various neighborhoods, the place to
which they look for good things. Are
you now doing or planning to make

Does Actual and Wonderful
Daily Good in Alma.

This is the age of efficiency, and
San-Yak is the efficiency in medi-

Stomach, Liver, Kidneys. Bladder
and Bowels it proves wonder in
every case.
1t prevents a bony-like hardening
of the arteries at ages past 80 years.
DIR. BURNHAM'S SAN-YAK is the
sure way to prevent paralysis and
apoplexy. In it's use you have pre-
vented or cured kidney and bladder
trouble. 1t is the greatest in use to
prevent the clumsy, stiff joints and
muscles and for nruritis and rheum
atism and constipation. II has no
parallel for the quality and results.
F. f. Gray, Alma. Michigan, the
leading restaurant man, says: II was
sick from overwork and kidney trou-

eral years, swelling of the feet and

Mrs. Allen Sayler OF Angola says:

with dizziness and back trouble

Yak | feel like a new woman, and
want to recommend it to everyone as
cure and worth a good deal more
than you pay for it."
ID. II. James, Homer, Mich, says:

years with high blood pressure, short

trouble, dizzy and sick. San Yak has
done everything for me and my
health is fine at ~ years. | can
work with ease and comfort"
"Sir: ] have taken your medicine
called San-Yak for serious nervous
ness and high blood pressure with
satisfactory results, and have found
it to be as good healer as time or

il upon my recommendation with as
good results as my own"

stole second while Scclcy was at bat.
The latter made grounder through
first and made second base on it. This
brought Richards in with Alma's first
score. Warner bunted and brought
Seeley to third. Chadwick followed
with a grounder that put him on first
and brought Seeley home. Pelton hit
into left field, made second and sent
Chadwick home.
Hillsdale again failed to hit in the
fifth inning. Boyne came up for Alma
and was put out on first. Ards then
placed the ball between short and
second for single Ards came home
on wild throw to second. Richards
was put out on hit down first base
line and Alma went to the field again.
In the sixth inning, Rillsdale man
aged to get three runs so it now stood
5-4 in favor of the visitors. However,
Alma failed to hit in the latter part
of this inning and the seventh was
entered with interest at its highest
pitch.
Hillsdale failed to find the ball or
place it for hit in the seventh but
Alma made a run in her half of the
inning. Pelton made the score that
tied, by good hit through the pitcher
and second baseman SO this inning
ended with the score tied, 5 and 5.
Neither side scored in the eighth
and it began to look like a repetition
of the kalamazoo game. Likewise,
Hillsdale failed to score in the be-
ginning Of the ninth. But, Alma did
score Smith made first on a ground
er and then kept right on going until
he had stolen third Boyne brought
him in with a grounder to first base.
Thus ended the game 6-5 in favor of
the home team.
lnasmuch as Hillsdale was consid-
cred one of the strongest of the M. J.
A. A. teams, and that Kalamazoo has
already fallen before Alma, it now
looks as though we had more than 4
fighting chance at the big stakes. Let
us help the team duplicate the foot
ball championship! Let us give them
the support they deserve! Speaking
on the same subject, ! believe there is
no law forbidding the attendance of
every Alma student at athletic games.
Let us not act as if there were such a
law.

ALMA WINS SECOND
N. |. A. A. GAME
Hillsdale Goes to Defeat Before
Alma Team.

Those who were fortunate enough
to be on Davis Field Friday afternoon
were rewarded by seeing one Of the
best baseball games of the season
Best, not only in point Of the fact that
Alma won, but also that il was a clean,
close-fought battle from start to fin
sh. At no time did the interest in
the game lag and at no time did
either side have any decided lead.
Hillsdale came with the reputation of
having beaten Oilvet and Kalamazoo,
and they lived up to that reputation
by playing a good fast game. A brief
account OF the game by innings fol-
lows:
The first inning started with Alma
in the field and Hillsdale at the plate
The first man made ground hit be-
tween first and second but was easily
put out at first. The next man up
was the little Jap, who managed to
place the ball i'm left field for a three
base hit The fact that he proved an
easy victim the next time up, seems
to point that Boyne had not yet struck
his regular pace The next two men
failed to hit and Alma came to bat
Peton led off for Alma. He let the
first two balls go by, but put a foul
over the grandstand on the third. He
missed the next and then made what
seemed to he hit along first base line,
but it was called foul and he came
back to the plate. He was put out on
IA pop-up near third base. Smith next
came to bat but failed to locate the
nigh ball of the Hillsdale pitcher
Boyne then succeeded in putting the
ball between first and second for a
single. Ards followed by hit just
over the second baseman, who tried
for it but evidently found it too hot
for his liking. Graham came to bat
bat failed to, hit.
At the opening of the second Boyne
began to show his regular form and
easily sent the first two men to the
bench. The next man placed d
grounder down near third and got or
first. The next man went to the
bench without even feeling of the ball
and Alma came in from the field.
"Bill" Richards Cor perhaps | should
say William) was Alma's first man
up He failed to locate the balkand
Seeley stepped to the plate. He too
could not get around the Hllsdale
pitcher and went to the bench without
even trying for the three balls that
were put straight over the plate in
rapid succession. Warner followed his
example and the second inning ended
without either side having scored.
In the beginning of the third Hills
dale failed to hit; even the little Jap
was unable to connect with the ball
this time. Chadwick, Alma's first
man up, famed and was followed by
Pelton who got on first by grounder
through the pitcher and second base
man. On a ball Pelton made second
Smith bunted, made first, and put
Pelton on third. Boyne made pop.
fly TO the second baseman and the
men held their bases. Ardis struck
out and thus the two runs were killed
on bases.
In the fourth inning Hillsdale man
aged TO get man around to third and
he came home for Hillsdale's first
score, when Smith threw the ball TO
first after missing il on the batter's
last strike. They failed TO gain any
more in this inning. Graham, Alma's
first man up, fell prey to the Hllsdale
pitcher. Richards got on first and
