The COUNTY INSTITUTE FOR
TEACHERS And LEAGUE WORKING

Saturday, January II, has been Sc
for the time of the second county in
stitute. This will be held in two
sections. One at Woodstock and one
at Mt. Jackson, as has been done in
former years.
The one at Mt. jackson is for the
teachers of Ashby and Lee Districts.
The one at Woodstock is for the re-
naming districts. Teachers in either
section may attend the meeting that is
most convenient for them and will re-
ceive credit for attendance.
The speakers will be in Woodstock in
the morning and at Mt Jackson in the
afternoon, the teachers will discuss the
two books on the Reading Course.
These will be discussed at Mt. jackson
in the morning session. The Wood
stock session will be in charge of Mr..
M. c. Hollingsworth and the Mt.
jackson session will be in charge of
Mr.. S. S. Shoemaker.
Among other things to be discussed
will be the health course, credit for
which must be on every certificate by
April Is, 1925, unless the teacher plans
to take the course at summer normal.
Another topic for discussion will be
the Self Rating Score Cards, which
will be placed in the hands of the
teachers at fhsf time
At present there are IS school
leagues in Shenandoah County. There
are several more that will be organized
or re-organized in the next few weeks.
This is splendid record. The school
leagues deserve much credit for the
splendid record of progress the schools
Of this county have made. within the
past ten years.
Each league in Davis, Johnston,
Woodstock, Stonewall, and Madison
Districts is earnestly requested to send |
1ne or two delegates to Woodstock on

Is COW testing worth while !

Gently joined a cow testing as

seen the profits of his cows more
than double through the work
of the association and he will
never answer mo-" Ask the
breeder who has sold pure bred
or graded cows on their testing
records and who has bought
cows on their cow testing records
and who has bought cows from

tions on their records, he will
always say ives" Members of
the Northern Valley Cow Test
ing Association who have been
practicing the buying and selling
of cows with good records have
round that their profits have in
creased both in the buying and
selling.
Cow testing is not worth while
to the dairyman who makes nc
use of the records and who con-
tinues the doubtful practice OF
former years. but cow testing is
worth while to the dairyman who
desires to feed and breed accord.
ing to known production. In
dairy herd Improvement, knowl'
edge alone is nothing, but knowl.
edge followed BY intelligent &C.
ton is everything. To the man
who belongs to a cow testing as
ISOLATION, who studies the in.
dividul records of his dairy cows,
and who selects, feeds. and
breeds according to their records,
cow testing is and always will,
be well worth while.
A dairyman in the Northern
Valley Cow Testing began hi.
first years testing one year age
with a herd of II cows. These
Il cows were soon fed a balanced
grain ration according to known
production and the average pro.
daction increased IS per cent
after two months testing, he
weeded out five border cows max

duced more milk and butterfat

culling. buying, and feeding ac-
cording to production, this herd
was finally reduced to II we'll

Mr.. S. S. Shoemaker,
Mr.. M. C. Hollingsworth
Dear Mr.. Hollingsworth am send
ing this communication to you and a.
copy to Mr.. Garner and to Mr.. Shoe
maker as all three schools are con-
cerned.
AT the last meeting of our School
Board the Board entered an order
which is to be effective beginning on
July l, 1925, to the effect that the
Smith-Hughes School in this County
will be continued, but in view of the
fact that of the cost of instruction
must be carried by the County School
Board, the Board has decided to carry
the work touching three points in the
County instead of one as before. Be-
ginning with the session of 1925-1926
two year department will be opened
in Strasburg, Woodstock and Mt.
jackson under the following con-
| ditions
At Mt. Jackson no additional cost for
equipment and rooms is necessary and
no appropriation by the State will be
made to Mt. Jackson for this, because
these were provided by the people of
Mt. Jackson when the school was
established some years ago.
At Strasburg and Woodstock, how
ever, it will be necessary that a
suitable room in each place be pro-
vided and fitted up for instruction in
agriculture. At Strasburg it appears
that the basement, which is now used
as chemical laboratory, will be amply
sufficient for this purpose, but at
woodstock a room must be provided,
as none is now available unless a
partition could be run across the
Ramey room, and one end used for
this work, and one end as an overflow
department for the grades. In order
to establish this department $780, 0(
equipment is necessary at Strasbure
and Woodstock. The State will give ;
OF this amount for each place, leaving
or $4,000 to be raised at eacf
place locally. The Board will expec
the leagues of each school to get busy
at once and take steps to raise the
necessary funds to meet these con
dltions. trust you gentlemen will
announce this TO your school ant
through the children to the people 81
that all may understand what has beer
done.
am sure you realize the far reach
ing Importance of this work 1t is no
to be expected that large class will b.
organized at each place but if only
very few students are given instruction
in plant and animal husbandry the,
should make better farmers than thei
fathers have had opportunity to be.
Please call your leagues at tn
earliest possible date and lay this mat
ter before them. The County Schoo
Board must know your decision a
early as possible.
Very respectfully yours,

Believes Place
Should Have Been
Found Not Guilty

Chief Arthur H. Field of the State
highway police who returned Satur-
day from Houlton where he attended
the trial of Frank H. Place, former
member of the highway police force,
asserted that after listening to the
evidence in his opinion the verdict
should have been not guilty. Officer
place was tried on charge of man
slaughter in shooting Louis Lizotte
of Van Buren, last May when Place
fired at a speeding automobile sus-
pected of running liquor. The jury
convicted Officer Place of assault
and battery, and Place was fined one
dollar.
The verdict should have been not
guilty, Chief Field believes, on ac-
count of the fact that Officer Place
was in the performance of his du-
ties when he shot at the automobile
driven by Iizotte; that Lizotte had
the reputation of being an outlaw
and a dangerous man and had the
record of assaulting an officer; and
the further fact that Officer Place
had been warned to be careful not
to let Lizotte get the drop on the
officer.
Chief Field declared that Justice
