Last Monday morning Mr. j. G..
Martin, passenger agent for the b.
& o. r. r., spoke to the student
body in regard to the annual trip
that students and teachers make to
Washington. Mr. Martin said there

thirty and forty high schools, two
normal schools and three colleges.
This trip is recommended especially
for the graduating classes and its
purpose is educational.
Mr. Martin described in an inter-
esting manner some of the sights to
be seen and places to be visited dur
ing this trip. The trip would in
clude a visit to Mt. Vernon, to the
National cemetery at Arlington, and
the White house.
There are three different rates
that can be obtained on this trip.

An Educational Error

One of the most stupendous trag-
edies of our educational life today is
that thousands and thousands of
people read nothing save the
newspapers. This is a statement
made by Glenn Frank in the Decem-
Der issue of the Century Magazine.
Whether or not Mr.. Frank meant
this to apply to high school students
is unknown, but we believe it would.
Some do not even read the news
papers. Too many people in their
reading do not take into cOnsidera-
ton that the newspaper is made up
mostly of gossip and space writing,
which has no value whatsoever as
instructive reading. Too many stu
dents acquire a mere smatterlng OF
text book knowledge and seem con-
tent. yet when they graduate and
begin to apply their education they
find they are lacking something.
What they lack is a fund Of general
information; q host of ideas, both
of which can be better gained by
reading the works OF noted authors
than newspapers.
Few towns OF our size have H.
braries that can compare with the
Simpson and H S. Libraries. These
libraries are usually regarded as {
place for reference seekers. The Ii
braries should be used as a readin&
room and study hall. The knowl
edge and ideas Of such men as H. G
Wells, Henry James, John Gals
worthy, Henry Adams and host o
others are not to despised. You viii
find their works in the Libraries
Get acquainted with them. They're
worth your while.

Freshman News

Last week the Freshman class
suffered the greatest from absence,
of any time this year. There were
twenty pupils absent on one day
from the Freshman class alone. The
local epidemic of grip seems to be
the cause.

The Seniors have revived the old
battle slogan, "On to Washington, I"
but this time the invaders will use
dollar bills instead Of cannon balls.

faculty this year as a small tribute

auditorium Thursday night by the
Cheney Concert Company The pro-
gram was very interesting through

Last Game of the Season

M. & M. VS.. arnesville-Tomor-
row night will be the last time the
local high school basket ball team
will play this season. 1t will be the
last game of the season with the ex-
ception of the Marietta tournament.
Barnesville will play here tomor-
row night and it can be said of them
that very few teams have played
here that are their equal. They
have an exceptionally fast team this
year, defeating M. & M. on the
Barnesville floor by a lead of seven
points. Barnesville is coming here
for return game and a hot time is
anticipated. Keith of Newark will
be the referee.
This will be the last time the To-
cal fans will have a chance to see
Nell and White in action for M. &
M. These athletes have done their
bit for M. & M. for four years and
they are expected to crown it with
final glory in the game tomorrow
evening. White is continuing his
fast floor work and good basket
shooting, and Nell has showed to
advantage since recovering from his
sprained ankle.
A banner crowd will no doubt
turn out and the high school is going
to give a demonstration of what real
school spirit is.

AGRTCTuTURE CIJJR

The Agriculture Club held it's reg.
ular meeting last Tuesday night
Talks were given by pupils and men
outside the school. The presence OF
fathers and brothers of the pupils
shows that the club is performing a
real function outside as we'll as in
the school.
The program consisted of an agri-
cultural story by Dwight Mcintyre,
current agriculture events by Dale
Miller; selected jokes by Robert
Newsom: talk on marketing by Mr..

When Won Disagree

A teacher has just stated two OF
three important points. Now is that
clear in the minds of eYeryone?'
asks the teacher Are there any
questions?"
Not a stir. One could hear a pin
fall. Part Of the class smiles, the
rest snore. The class even lacks in
centive enough to raise its hands
and object.
4'Well I suppose then that the
matter is perfectly clear" says the
teacher and proceeds. The teachers
supposition is only logical These
same matters are covered in the next
quarterly examinations and about
half Of the class passes it. The other
half declares they never saw that in
their textbooks No doubt they are
right. Probably they never even
saw their textbooks. Perhaps the
teacher wonders whether he taught
it right.
No teacher is infallible. No stu
dent can understand everything
Education is not a process of read
ing and listening mechanically. Ed
ucation builds itself up by attention
and discussion. When a teacher is

When he is not clear, raise your
hand. And furthermore, when he

you don't agree with him. State

met last Tuesday evening in the H.

rendered by the Malta McConnels-

all who attended are enthusiastic in
their praise There were recitations,
drills, songs, exercises, piano duets,
vocal solos, minuets, plays-in fact
such a variety. and all SO well done
and so pleasing that it can not be
detailed here. Teachers and pupils
are all to be complimented.
Following the program a business
session of the parents and teachers
was held, the president, Oliver Lind

PROPER FEEDING FOR
THE Hen IN WINTER
Grains, Green Food, Animal Food and
Mineral Food Required for
.sa. Successful Winter Feeding

There are four classes of feed re-
quired for the successful winter feed
ing Of hens, according to A. NJ. Pilkey,
pOultryman at the Northwest Expert
nent Station, Crookston. They are
grains, green food, animal foods and
mineral foods.
Wheat is one of our best grains for
poultry feeding and may be. used as
a single grain or in a mixture Of grain
foods. Oats are an excellent feed for
poultry as part Of mixed feed
but give better results if crushed and
fed as a dry mash mixing in one per
cent of charcoak .s5sxs
Barley can also be fed to good adj
vantage as part Of mixed scratch
food. Boiling will improve it CON
siderably adding bran and shorts to
take up the moisture and feed as.
moist mash at noon. Corn makes
a good winter food where, feed has
to be bought. It is best to crack corn
and feed it with a mixture Of grains.
The mixture we are using at the
Northwest School this winter is equal
parts of corn (cracked), small wheat
and oats. This mixed scratch feed is
fed in a deep litter of straw thus
forcing the hens to work for it, there
by giving them sufficient exercise to
keep them in healthful condition:
Cabbage makes one of the best and
cheapest green. foods we have. Nam
gels, turnips, carrots or beets may also,
be used Sprouted oats are very good
but rather expensive to produce.
Buttermilk or skim milk is the
cheapest form of animal food for.
poultry. Cut green bone, beef scrap
or other. meats may be used Care
must be exercised in the feeding of
meat foods as their excessive use will
lead to liver trouble. .r
The laying hen requires considerable.
lime. This is supplied by having
oyster shell before the birds at all
times. Grit is also necessary for the
proper mastication of the foods. s.s
A word in conclusion. 1t is good
practice to- give the flock dose OF
EPSON salts from time to time, at the
rate of one pound per hundred hens.
Charcoal is also good tonic in that
it absorbs the gases in the digestive
tract 1. = IL s.... < 81 IS & AZ
