Editor Takes
His Vacation
With Circus

Editors find novel ways OF spend
ing such vacations as they are able
to snatch away from their desks.
Lieut.. Gov. Fred e. Sterling OF
Illinois, editor of the Rockville,
Qll.) Register Gazette, joins Amer
ica's largest circus when he goes
vacationing.
Governor Sterling this summer
made a two weeks tour with the
Ringing Brothers-Barnum e Ball
ey circus as the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Ringing. Joining the
biggest show on earth" in Chi
cago. he "made" Danville, Indian
apolis, Terre Hauteb Evansville,
Nation, spent three days in st.
Louis and then wound up at Spring
field with the Ringlings.
1t was not a new experience for
Governor Sterling, however, for in
many years past he has spent sew
eral weeks each summer touring
various parts of the country with
the "big tops"
For % years or more he has
been en- intimate friend of John
and Charles Ringing, and has been
their guest on numerous summer
jaunts through the middle west.
The Rockford editor made the
trip in the Ringlings' private car,
and there was plenty OF time for
an occasional side trip to the links
or the bathing beach

early treatment. If a small ,por.
ton of the money spent on pros
ecutions were devoted to the pre-
vention of crime by treating those
who through their mental deficien-
cies are potential criminals a
thousand miseries could be avoid
ed and millions in money saved"
Mr.. DaTow's observations were
issued in connection with his in
dorsement of the plan to establish
the homeopathic hospital in New
York at a cost of $2,5O0,00O. 1t is
intended that patients shall be
treated free of charge, and it's
purpose is to attract for diagnosis
and treatment those who, though
showing signs of arrangement,
cannot be classed among the in,
sane and those guardians shrink
from committing them to insane
hospitals.
This movement should be
countrywide" Mr.. Darrow said. "If
other cities do not follow New
York's example, the consequence
es due to the neglect of mental
patients will become a public men,
ace.
1.-The case of Loeb and Leopold
is, after all, merely an isolated
instance. We must approach this
problem in broader spirit than
by reference to one single unfOr-
tunate example 1 am convinced
that the most critical cases do
not originate after the individual
has reached the adult stage, but
that they begin TO develop very
early in life"

AGRICULTURAL FAIRS

Agricultural fairs have been
woven into the very fabric Of
American civilization. Washington
urged the Inauguration of such
fairs as early as 1896. The coun,
try's first fair was held in the
city OF Washington in 1904, and
lasted three days. Elkanah Watson,
who lived in kshire County,
Massachusetts Las been called the
father Of agricultural fairs. He Sc
cured petition OF twenty-six far
mers for a cattle show which was
held in Pittsfield, Massachusetts,,
in 1910. The incorporation of the
Berkshire Agricultural Society fol.
lowed, and this society became the
first permanent fair association in
the United States. Mr.. Watson be,
came so enthusiastic over this
success that he was instrumental
in organizing other societies, not
only in New England but in nine
Or ten other states. Probably the
first state aid for agricultural fairs
was an Appropriation of $4,000 by
the legislature of New York. in
1919.
The early fairs were always Wis
tied by many prominent men, es-
pecially, who took the unusual OPP
portunity offered to address large
numbers of farmers. Daniel Web
ster was popular orator at fairs
in his and neighboring states.
For many years the agricultural
fair was one of the most potent in
fluences for diffusing new ideas
and in creating an atmosphere Of
social unity, as well as in intro
ducing better methods of farming
and wider cquaintanceship with
blooded stock. The agricultural
fair Of today serves to some extent
the same purpose, although, of
course, it has many rivals in the
| dissemination of such information
as farmers require. The agricultur,
al fair has changed greatly in
character, but it still serves a
useful purpose. For a time it seem
ed likely to disappear, as a result
Of disintegrating forces within it.
SELF But with the reformations of
recent years, it has taken a new
lease of life, and bids fair to re-
tain its hold upon the public for
many years to come. y
The original purpose Of the
fair was to encourage the farmers
to raise better crops and cattle,
and to promote the farming indus,
try generally. This is again their
object.

school. Year
County Superinten-
dent Tells of Work.
Which is Now I'm
derWay

County Superintendent Essie
Brooks has the following to say for
the outlook for the school year:
e "The supervising teachers anu
the county superintendent have IN
to date visited IS schools of the
county. AS we pause to summar-
ize the observations of those visits
we find the opening condition Of
Sank County schools highly en-
couraging. One of the conditions
especially noticeable is the excel
lent condition of the buildings and
grounds Only 2 schools of the.
rs visited appear to have been neg
lected this summer. In all the
others evidence shows that the
dealers in paint and varnish of the
county have done a thriving bust
ness this summer. Beauty in the
home or school or of person de-
ponds first upon cleanliness. /
hope the teachers will do their
part in keeping the buildings
clean and attractive and that
boards will continue their good
work by seeing that the buildings
are cleaned as often as necessary.
Much new equipment has been
added during the summer, varying
from playground apparatus to draw
ing paper and seat work material.
District No. l Troy has laid a new
floor and purchased new desks and
slate black boards. Other dis
tricts have made similar improve
ments. Knowing that the dictrict,
is interested in the school and that
it is ready at all times to furnish
material that is needed and will
facilitate the work of the school
always inspires the teacher to great
er effort.
"The teaching of the beginning
month has been highly commend
able. If teachers continue as they
have begun certainly we shall ac-.
complish much during the year.
We have been pleased to find the,
work of the 1924 graduates OF the,
County Normal unusually strong,
A few Of the good bits of teaching,
to be commended are:
Supervised play at noon and re-,
cess.
Physical exercise period with pu-
pills marching outside for drills.
Seat work in first grade reading
that reinforced the teaching of the
class period.
Rack of seed corn that has been.
selected on a filed trip.
Question on board to guide read,
ing and study in several subjects.
Some real teaching in every
class.
All children busily and usefully
employed
A piece of bristol board for each
child on which the teacher mounts,
each week a piece of the best work
of the student in each subject max
ing a booklet during the year that
shows constant improvement.
Good plans for opening exercises,
posted.
Some good results in drawing.
Goal sheets in arithmetic posted.
Children writing for awards in
penmanship.
Group reading in lower grades.
Tests being given in fundamen-
tails of arithmetic.
Some interesting socialized reci-
tations.
