This is just my way of telling you
that I spent two of the happiest hours
Of my life yesterday afternoon seeing
the Fox production of "a Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's Court"
The late Mark Twain wrote this satire
or burlesque on the divine rights of
kings. Many have laughed long and
often while reading the story, and 1
assure you that the movie producer has
kept most of the charm of Twain's bur.
lesque.
When pictures such as these are put
on the screen, the movie producers are
functioning as they should. Here is a
great yarn transferred to the screen sue
cessfully. The jazzed-up subtitles will
convulse you. This Twain story makes
dandy movie diet.
For examp1e-an armored knight
meets the Connecticut Yankee asleep
under a tree. The knight tickles the
Yank with his spear. The Yank rubs
his eyes and wakes up.
"Wilt thou tilt with me?' asked the
knight.
do you know where to get it without
a prescription NJ" asks the Yankee.
Thou does crack a dry joke" re-
sponded the armor-covered knight of
the year 52S
These jazzed-up subt1tles are a scream
from the first to the last and the titles
blend right into the story. This bur-
lesque on King Arthur is the funniest
movie I have ever seen. I am perfectly
rational and calm when I type these
words Nothing funnier has ever been
done by Chaplin.
The story is so familiar that it is not
necessary to repeat it here. Whether
you have read Mark Twains story, you
will easily catch the delicious humor Of
1t all at Loew's this week.
The Fox management has assembled
splendid cast to make the world laugh
The cast for "a Connecticut Yankee" is
as follows:
The Yankee Harry c. Myers
Sandy ........; Pauline Starke
Queen Morgan lie Fay Rosemary TChI1e he
Merlin the Magician -. William V. Mong
Sir Sagramore ........ George Siegmann
The Page Clarence $500. Charles Gordon
Mary Twain ..............: KARI Eormes
Mrs Cavendish ........Adele Harrington
Sir Launcelot ........ Wilfred Mcdonald
I am sure you will howl with laughter
when the knights shed their armor for
cowboy costumes after the Yankee gives
'em a taste of cowboy life.
This movie will give you new lease on
life It will make you laugh and some OF
you will scream with Joy. This movie
will tickle your funny bone as 1t never
has been tfckled before.
In connection with this movie, Loew's
theater is observing Jazz Week" The
music Is Jazz and even the comedy reflects
the modern craze for jazz.

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ON AGRICULTURE

TO the Honorable Board of Super
visors of Grant County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned special commit
tee on agriculture desire to report as
follows:
At the time OF the last meeting Of
the Board we were without the serv-
ices OF an agricultural agent, Mr..
George w. Davies having resigned
October i, 1920 to accept a better and
more lucrative position During the
months of November, December and
January we were in correspondence
with a number of men in regard to the
filling of the vacancy and arranged
for personal interviews with some of
them. Finally, in January, we entered
into a contract with Mr.. Paul f. Graf
who was at that time filling a similar
position in Vernon County.
Under that contract Mr.. Graf re-
ceives a salary of 100000 per year.
OF this amount Grant County pays
100000 or $108.34 per month and the
State of Wisconsin and the Federal
Government jointly pay $4,000 per
year or $141.66 per month. In addi-
ton to that they also contribute
$4,000 per year, which is used to de-
fray the expenses of the Agricultural
Agent when in attendance at the state
meetings of county agents or similar
gatherings which are held under the
auspices of State of Wisconsin. In adj
dition to the above Grant County pays
the travelling expenses of the agent,
which are contracted in this county,
in the regular discharge Of the duties
of the office. This expense Will aver
age about $4,000 per month
At a meeting of this committee held
in the city of Platteville on October
"a, the State of Wisconsin also being
represented by Prof. GRADER Of the
agricultural department Of State Uni
versity, a new contract was entered
into with Mr.. Graf for the period of
one year, beginning February 1, 1922,
on the same terms as are now existing
under the present contract, subject to
the approval of this Board.
We therefore recommend there be
appropriated by this Board the sum Of
$4,000 to meet the county's share Of
the salary of the agricultural agent
and that an additional sum OF $1,20000
be appropriated for his travelling eX-
penses. We also further recommend
that the sum of $4,000 be appro-
priated for expense connected with a
Grant County exhibit at the State
Fair for 1922
We also desire to call the attention
Of the Board to the fact that 1t is
necessary to elect three members Of
the Special Agricultural Committee at
this session. all Of whom shall be p~ac

ANNUAL REPORT OF COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

10 the Honorable Members of the
County Board of Supervisors:
In conformity to law and in accord
ance with a we'll established custom,
| am submitting for your considera-
ton my first Annual Report as County
superintendent of Schools. You will
realize that my report will necessarily
be meager, as | have been in office
only little over four months. | trust,
however, that your honorable body
will see fit to continue your friendly
attitude toward the educational work
OF the county as evidenced in the
past. Many things of real interest and
benefit to the rural communities has
been accomplished during the past
year, but as | had no part in these
projects | shall not tire you by giving
lengthy report, but I shall mention
a few.
Hot Lunches

served hot lunches to the children all
or part of the school year, We con-

This does not include this years
apportiOnment from the state.
Text Books and supplementary
Readers
The problem of textbooks is one of
very great Importance to our schools.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1922-01-11

A suggestive list of modern texts was
printed in this office last year anG
sent to the teachers in the various
schools. We have revised this list
somewhat and expect to keep up the
good work, introducing good modern
texts in all rural schools as well as in
the villages and cities. | trust the
time is not far distant when the people
of the county and state viii see fit to
adopt uniform list OF text books.
supplementary Readers play an i'm
portant part in the child's education.
Every school should have at least five
sets of readers for lower grades and
two for upper grades. A number of
schools are supplied with their re-
CURED number and l trust all schools
will be supplied in the near future.
Teachers
The teacher situation in the rural
schools is not as serious at present as
it has been the past few years. The
teachers training course in the Fenni-
more High School, Lancaster High
School and Platteville Normal School
are partly responsible for this changed
condition. These institutions have
supplied the county with a goodly
number of we'll trained young people
who are at present teaching in our
rural schools. We We're compelled to
issue only twenty-nine special permit
certificates and we hope that in a year
or so the special permits will be a
thing of the past
Reading Circle
Under the auspices of the Reading
Circle in the schools of the county
299 teachers earned reading circle
diplomas or seals, LOT of these were
rural teachers, 1872 were teachers in
villages and cities. 1872 young people
earned diplomas or seals, of this
number 1857 were rural school pupils,
261 were state graded school pupils,
433 were pupils in grades below the
high school, 26 were students in
teachers training course, and 915
were students in high schools.
The pupils reading is guided and
directed by list of we'll chosen books
selected by the State Reading Circle
Board. This plan not only directs the
children in their reading but also en-
courages them to read more books
than they would otherwise read. The
books for the teachers course are of
professional nature and aim to keep
the teacher up to date and effective in
her work The books read by the
teachers last year We're; THE Rural
School from Within" and "The Re
constructed School" The books Sc
lected for this years reading are:
'How to Teach the Fundamental Sub
iects," and "The Community Center"
A county exhibit of rural school
work was collected and displayed at
the State Fair in Milwaukee in Sep
TENDER. The county was awarded
fifth place on it's exhibit.
