Der of failures there will be fully 400
children who will attend the all-coun-
ty festivities in this city on Saturday,

made an annual one. On June 3rd
all those children in the county who
have successfully completed their
grade school work will gather at the
high school in this city to receive their
diplomas. Addresses will be made in
the morning by j. e. Giessel, county
superintendent of schools. Diplomas,
it is anticipated, will be given to the
children by A. l.. Kreutzer. Mr.
Kreutzer's talk was so fine last year
that it is hoped he can be prevailed
upon to act in the same capacity
again.
Following commencement exercises
at the high school, the children and
teachers who are present, will adj
journ to Marathon park where a field
program including games of all sorts
and sports will take up most of the
afternoon. Last year about $50 rural

prehensive talk on her work
Tells Of Work
Persons from fourteen years of age
up are given attention by Miss Roach's
department. Miss Roach said it was
the hope of vocational educators that
the minimum age clause could be
eliminated from the law as this de-
lays work unnecessarily. She cited
various phases of the work as applied
to the individual declaring that "the
school house, Industrial plant and
tutor all have a part in rehabilitation
work.. If the individual is unable
to go to school, tutors are sent into
the home to give training in some oc-
cupation that will in a measure make
the person reached self-supporting.
Miss May Kimball, field agent for
the state public school at Sparta, told
of her work, along the lines of follow
ing up cases of children who had
been indentured into homes. She
asked that if any nurses present found
cases which they felt should be ir -es-
tigated, that they report them to the
Sparta home.
Another speaker of the afternoon
was Miss Mary Hughes, superintend-
ent of Mount View sanatorium. She
talked on cooperation between pub
lie health nurses and sanatoria. Miss
Hughes stated that at the present
time there are only three unoccu-
