The Fairnont State Normal school
will open this fall with most IA
vorable outlook for increased enroll
ment and greater usefulness to the
public schools of the state. This in
stitution has been established for fifty
years, and during that time it has Civ
en- instruction to thousands of young
men and women, and over 1900 have
been graduated. This Normal school
has always placed special emphasis
upon the training of teachers for the
public schools. Its graduates may be
found in most of the counties of the
state, occupying educational positions
of Importance. With the passage o.
the new school code and its proyi-
sions for higher standards of teach

to place increasing emphasis upon the
preparation Of teachers for public
school positions. During the past
summer, the Normal school has had
many more calls for teachers than It
has been able to answer. Owing to the
new requirements and the increased
school terms and higher salaries, it is
a most opportune time for young men
and women to take Normal school
courses. Men and women with-normal
school training are in great demand

MEANS BETTER POLK COUNTY.
Acorn Community Club Is in Lead in
 Enterprise.

Harry F. Kapp, Southwestern Dis trict Agent, has notified County Dem onstration Agent Henderson that he would arrive on Wednesday after noon, and would go immediately to Acorn to meet with the Acorn Com munity Club, the club giving Mir. Kapp a special invitation to meet with them. This club is composed of the leading men of the Acorn com munity, and holds regular meeting once a month in which cooperative farming is discussed, each member giving some information that is of value to all. The club will ship wat ermelons this year in carlots, all members planting at the same time. The cooperative method is also used in purchasing fertilizer and other needed farm goods, each member talk ing his part. As Mir. Henderson sees it, such clubs organized thruout the county would mean more money to farmers, and better Polk county.
