So-and-So's," she explained,
whose table is always a
picture of beauty. In ad-
miring it | was particularly
struck with the rich and
lovely quality of their table

Why I mused to N.Y.
self, softly stroking the
napkin that lay in my lap,
it feels precisely like the
finest satinp
"And just then ] discoy-
cred that it toas satin that
I was stroking so affec-
tionately-the satin of my
own dinner dress, from
which the napkin had
slipped down TO the floor !"
Nevertheless, the napery
was fine, a feast TO the eye.

be pictures?

EAST JORDAN WINS
FROM PETOSKEY IN
DEBATE THURSDAY,
(Petoskey News

In very closely drawn contest the
Petoskey high school debating team
lost to East Jordan Thursday evening
at East Jordan. Both teams fought to
the very last, such that the judges ex-
pressed that they had never listened to
such excellent high school debating.
According to the judges both teams
were evenly matched in argument, but
East Jordan team was superior in del

upon both argument and delivery.
East Jordan supported the affirma-

arbitration was necessary, fair and

Poor Quality.

Adopting unanimously a resolution
recommending that the Michigan State
Farm Bureau dairy department active
ly promote and assist in establishing
cream pools in the states important
dairy districts for the collective mar
keting of cream on quality basis, the
Committee OF Fifteen on Michigan
dairy affairs meeting at the state farm
bureau offices last week, took long
step forward in helping the state S
dairy industry out of its present chaotic
state, says the state farm bureau.
Deterioration in the quality of Mich

consumption of substitutes is the in
dustry's worst enemy, said the COM
mittee. 1t was pointed out that the
present cream station system of buying,
which pays the same prices for all
cream-good or bad-is the cause of
the poor quality of creamery butter in
this state. The committee agreed that
the producer must be given financial
incentive to raise the quality of his
product before much Improvement can
be affected. BY the proposed cream

Several of the committeeman report

brought out that in all quality organi.
cations the producers received from
three to nine cents per pound Of but.

and in some cases as high as fifteen

to have markets for their product

Mid-Year Tests
in Rural Schools
A Review by Com'r Stewart Of
the Mid-year Tests.

The reports OF the mid-year tests are
at last all at hand and carefully check
ed. Naturally the report of single
examination is not a criterion OF the
work of that school. The work can
not be judged by any single test. The
daily work of the child, the oral recita-
tions and the amount of work, as well
as general quality of work done, all
means much more than a single test.
The teachers mark on different stand
ards, some giving more for thought and
originality and others being very ex-
acting in demanding facts and data;
some expect freedom and others mark
closely with all questions considered Of
equal value, whereas some questions
are more important than others; some
mark spelling and penmanship in those
subjects only while others mark off for
ink blots or mis-spelled words in no
matter what subject they may be found.
This is as true of our marking system
in city schools and colleges as it is true
OF our rural schools.
Nevertheless the reports are inter-
esting as study of tendencies and in
dividual records. The highest mark re-
corded in the county is that of Jenny
Kent, age 8, grade in Clarion, Mona
Bardwell, teacher. Jenny's average
was SO per cent. The Clarion School
had the highest average in the county,
9l.6 per cent. Second came Green
town with an average of 9l.2 per cent
and third Mckinley with an 95.8 per
cent average.
The percentage OF failures would in
dicate a great deal of variation in the
quality of work being done in the diff
ferent subjects. Where the variation
is slight the uneveness is probably due
to the nature Of the examination but
in some cases the variation is very
great. Only per cent in the county
failed in reading, 9 per cent in ortho-
graphy and 8 per cent in grammar. 10
per cent failed in language, II in SPELL
ing, II in physiology, and IL per cent
in arithmetic. Thus three times as
many failed in arithmetic as failed in
arithmetic as failed in reading. But the
irregularity is even more noticeable in
the three remaining subjects. In civics
16 per cent failed, in agriculture IL,
and in geography 19 per cent failed.
This would seem to indicate that more
stress is needed in civics, agriculture,
geography, physiology, and arithmetic.
1t is exceedingly difficult for any tea
cher in one room school to teach 25
to thirty classes per day and give to all
the emphasis needed. Many times the
children will seem to know a lesson
but there is not time to go through 1t
all. Many times the children have a
lesson but cannot drill under supervi-
sion unless thirty minute or three quar-
ter honr periods are possible. Longer
class periods are possible only in grad
ed and consolidated schools and the tea
chers OF the county are looking forward
to the time when a system will be
adopted which will enable them to do
justice to their pupils.

tried for murder.

tried for murder.
During the time the three men and
this girl are marooned on the island, a
complete understanding is reached be-
tween Stella and Sanders, and together
they plot to save her father. No end
of excitement is created when Crane
attracts the attention OF his assistants
on the faraway mainland. But in tre-
mendous battle, Crane believes he has
killed his man by casting him over a
cliff. Bevan saves himself and with the
detective the happy pair sail away, only
to return later as man and wife to join
him on the island.
