POLK COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS.
by Tom J. Wilbanks, Co. Supt.)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


The people Of Polk county who live
on the railroad will have the advan-
tage of excursion rates during the
fair. The General Passenger Agent
of the Kansas City Southern has adj
vised Superintendent Wilbanks that a
round trip rate of one and one-half
the one way fare will be granted, and
it is yet possible that an excursion
train will be run on Education Day,
September 4. Circulars will be sent
out in the event this train is granted.
The diptheria epidemic at Hatfield
has eliminated one of the best schools
and strongest contenders in the coun-
ty insofar as the fair is concerned,
but it also increased the chances of
some of the smaller schools in the
competitive events. Be it said to the
credit of Mr.. Harris and his splendid
corps of teachers that they were doing
their best when this misfortune over
took them.
|. @. Harris is so imbued with the
desire to boost for the fair that he is
now developing some contestants from
his home community, Union Grove.
Among them is class in community
singing.
T. Delos Mullins, from Acorn, states
that his school will have float and
a number of unique exhibits. Acorn
viii also have a splendid agricultural
display.
John Harper of Oak Ridge will be a
strong contender for the first honors
in numbers attending and appearing
in the parade.
The prize for the best per cent. of
attendance appearing in the parade
has been changed to five dollars for
best and two and one-half dollars for
second. Few schools are able to dis
play the large flag effectively. This
afforded the reason for the change.
The school children of Polk county
viii have the pleasure of marching to
the music of real brass band this
year. The Mena Band will be in read
mess to provide excellent music on
Education Day.
Every school director in Polk coun-
ty is especially invited to be present
at the courthouse on Education Day
September 4, and hear B. w. Torrey-
son speak. This speech will be of
vital interest to every school director
who feels the responsibility of his po-
sition. Directors are also urged to
encourage the attendance of the school
children and patrons of the district.
This day will be worth much more
than day in school and you can well
afford to dismiss school that day pro-
vided teacher and pupils attend the
fair.
The following new books have been
received in the Teachers Library:
40. "School Efficiency" Bennett.
Al. "The Science of Human Ma
ture," Pyle.
AZ. Methods and Standards for
Local School Surveys" Bliss.
49, "The Examination of School
Children" Pyle.
Al. "Story- telling, Questioning and
Studying" Horne.

TO ACHIEVE THE MILLENNIUM

When the happy and useful thought
strikes the American mind that work,
hard work, viii solve most economic
problems, and all social problems, we

THE CAMPAIGN OF MERCY WILL
NEVER CEASE

Although there is to be no further
expansion of the Red Cross work in
France, it's work will go on. 1t will
bring comfort to our boys as they lie
sick in hospitals and as they keep
guard on German soil, and to the
thousands of repatriated French peo-
pie who are returning to their an
cestral homes. Without the Red
Cross army of mercy tc follow in the
tragic furows made by the engines
of war, the aftermath of suffering
in France this winter would be a
greater desolation than we can con-
ceive. Fighting with mortal weap-
ons may cease, but the campaign of
mercy of the Red Cross will never
cease as long as the need Of cleans
ing and healing is present among the
races of the earth.-Maj.-Gen. Mer-
rite w. Ireland, in the February

NAVAL EXPERTS AND THE VAT.
ERLAND

-
The Government officer who con-
voyed the chief engineer of the old
Vaterland to his first internment on
Ellis Island, asked him frankly what
he had done to try and ruin her en-
gines. He, in return, was equally
frank, even though he laughed in his
captor's face.
"Ruin herr" he roared. 'HMein
Colt, she was ruined before she fin
ished her first trip across the Allan
tic. There never has been time
since she first touched the water
when she hasn't been ruined. / will
take off my hat to any American
engineer who will ever get her across
the ocean again."
He spoke the truth. The Water
land, as her German builders had
turned her out, was dismal failure.
Yet less than three months after they
first stepped aboard the ships, ex-
perts of the Navy Department had
sent her on a trial trip to Cuba and
had returned her--in the hands of a
green crew-at a speed of twenty
three knots. And this without great
pressure upon her engInes.EFrom
