This record comes as a fitting fol-

The transcontinental is probably
the most coveted Of all motor car
records. 1t is the supreme test Of
motor car performance. To cross
the continent in the time made by
the Essex, almost constant speed of
fifty and sixty miles an hour must
be maintained.

HAVE PARENr.TEAcnER DAY
Special Program Planned For Teach-
ers' Institute


ers' Institute
According to the normal institute
announcement. Friday, August 9th
will be Parent Teachers day.
Although the program for the en-
tire session will be as interesting and
useful to the parents and school
officers AS to the teachers, the lec-
lures for Friday have been more es-
pecially designed for both patrons
and teachers.
In an announcement sent out by
Miss Mary Il. W0Olverton, county SUI
perintendent, she outlines the object
Of the day In the following para
graphs:
I'VE have always made the mis-
take of considering the school In its
elements Of teachers, children, par
ents and school officers as indepen-
dent parts, rather than AS a whole
and each part necessary to every
other part. None Of us can set our
selves apart and consider our rela-
tons absolute. We are each one
with the rest and our relations are
interdependent.
Therefore the objects of the day
are: First, to emphasize the unity of
the school system; second, since the
parents are somewhat under the nee
essity of giving their children more
or less assistance, to offer them
standard by which they may judge
how much and how to help them in
order to get the best results; and
third, to better acquaint all with the
system of education, and with each
other"
Morning and afternoon sessions
have been arranged and all schOo,
patrons, including school officers and
parents are invited to attend Miss
Woolverton says and the session is
expected to be one Of tn, largest dur
ing the institute.
A program has been arranged in:
Guiding ia ks by Mrs. Marie Turner
Harvey, foremost woman educator in
the country, Mr.. Martin Of Newton
who will discuss the advantages OF
school library and reading in the
home, Mr.. Vickers who will repre-
sent the state department Of educa-
ton, Miss Campbell who will endeav
or to give parents an idea of how
best to help and encourage their chill
dren with their school work, Miss
Weber who will have charge Of the
music and Miss HOlmberg who will
have a lecture in the afternoon.
The noon hour Is to be devoted
to a social time and a plain school
lunch will be served to everybody.
At this time 1t is planned that the
teachers shall get better acquainted
with the patrons In the districts in
which they are to teach next year
so that there will be a mutual un- |
Outstanding of the work to be done
and plans to be carried out through |
the cooperation Of teachers and
patrons.
Interest in school affairs is in
creasing among the people of the ru-
raj districts Miss WoolvertOn de-
clared and the high standard main |
tanned by the schools Of this county |
Is an indication of the success with |
which teachers and parents are
working together to build up the dis
trict schools and improve them in
every way

WATERMELONS ARE GOOD
Crop in Sand Hills viii Almost B.
Tn to Normal

While a number Of farmers in the
sand hills near Sand Springs have
had their melon crops destroyed by
lice, as was stated in the Reflector
several days ago, yet many Of the
melon growers are putting large
crop on the market. Due to the facr
that nearly three times as much seed
as usual was planted this year the
melon crop will be almost up to nor
NAL even If many Of the vines have
been killed.
The cantelOupes this year are ex-
cellent and the few watermelOns that
are now on the market are very
good. BY September l the market
will be flooded with the good juicy
watermelons that are always raised
near Abilene. The farmers say that
they will be sold through the stores
and at the farmers homes, but the
melons will probably not be brought
to town and sold on the streets.
Four varieties Of watermelons will
be purchasable this year. This is
a new record for this section OF the
country.

last year of providing hot lunches In
the schools for children from the

most successful.
