OFFICIAL RETURNS
IN SCHOOL ELECTION

Official returns from the recent
school election in Randolph county
show that big majority voted the
limit for education. SO slack was the
interest i'm some sections, however,
that there was hardly enough tax
voted to pay for a three months term
of school. In one district, Macedonia,
no election was held. 1t is said that
the directors were so busy looking
after personal business that they
neglected to open the polls.
Mrs. Ethel Hickman was elected a
director in McIlroy district, the first
woman school director in Randolph
county.
Directors elected in the various dis
triets were as follows:

LITTLE BLACK SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE UNITED

Supply, June SIN the election held
here Monday to vote for or against
the creation of a rural special school
district out Of Districts No. 40, 80 and
81, the vote was 1O7 for and 20 against,
showing that Little Black means to
stay in the foreground educationally
as well as it is already reputed to be
morally, socially and religiously.
The opposition was stronger against
consolidation in the Pitman district
than in either of the others, yet a
check up of the vote showed 20 for
and 10 against in that district. Moore
voted 80 for and 10 against and Dill
beck went solidly for consolidation.
NJ. X. Dismang, John Duff, A. L..
Sharp, Claud Jolly, Don NJ. Ruff and
DIR. ]. S. Carrens were elected direc-
tors.
Mr. G.. NJ Hurst, state supervisor Of
school buildings and school grounds

Child Training for Parents
BY II. L. MANNING

Twenty years ago a little boy with
mass of auburn ringletS, which lie
despised, sat just in front of little
girl with long yellow curls.
TO this man-Child Mary was the
sweetest and the most beautiful hui
man being in the whole world. 1t
just so happened that Mary loved the
man-child as much as he loved her.
He would start to school with a
bunch of violcts for his beloved teach
err, Miss Mary, but when Mary's sweet
blue eyes looked up into the brown
ones of Little Boy he always held the
flowers out toward her saying, you
want 'cm?"
Then her soft little yes" accom-
panied by her shy smile and nod
of her curly head made Little Boy
happy all day in school.
In the springtime Little Boy and
Mary were given their report cards
which said promoted to Second
Grade" And every year after that
they passed on into another grade UNI
til they were both in the fifth grade
and still together. BY that time they
were ashamed to be swcctheSr:s. bur
Little Boy still thought Mary was tho
sweetest, gcntlest and prctticst girl
he knew.
Then one day Mary did not come
10 school. Her sister told the teacher
that she was very ill.
For a long time after that Little

small delicate lilies of the valley.
The rose does not pcrSOnity To me
the rarest beauty of all flOwcrland-
but rather the average girl Girls who
marry young quickly pass from the
bud Of girlhood to the full blown rose
of womanhood. The wholesome. seri-
Gus, practical. womanly type of girl
is for me the rOsc-who graces home
so beautifully!
Every flower has its prototype in
girls and like every flower, every type
of girl is someone's favOritc!
1t always seems to me very bcautl-
full that of all flowers the sun has
chosen the humble dandclion to re-
fleet its rarcst gold! And so it is III

MEDITATIONS OF A MARRIED
WOMAN By Helen RowLand
But Who Could Bear Him?

A Perfect Husband! Who could
BEAR him?
For, a woman sigheth in her heart
for such an one. But, having found
him, what woman could endure life
with him!
Behold, he scorneth the sight of a
blonde, and looketh not upon a dam
sells hair when it is red
His stenographer is full of yeats,
and her face is as persimmon. In
the office where he spcndeth all his
days, there are no fair and smuppy
damsels to destroy his wife's peace OF
mind.
He seeketh not the gOlf-gsme upon
Sunday mornings, but stitch beside
his wife in the tabernacle. and heark-
encth excitedly unto the sermon upon
Foreign Missions.
-
He declineth to go to the movies
with his wife; and n goOey scx-drama
is more thrilling to his spirit than
Gilda Gray and a FOllics chorus.
Prize fights and pokcr-games arr
his abomination; but dainty Bridge
game, wherein he may win a PAIR OF
pink candle shades is his idea of
good sport"
He seeth not the new hat upon TIC
head Of the stunning widow, but OBJ
serveth all his wife's spring clothes to
admire them. And whatsoever she
buyeth a new gown, he saith, "Oh,
goody :"

Boy glanced at Mary's desk, first
thing every morning.
Then one day the children said in
hushed tones, "Mary's dead"
Little Boy did not cry. He couldn't.
There was no place at school for him
10 cry, even if he could. He could do
nothing but sit there at his little desk
and pretend to read his textbook.
When he was called on to rccitc he
almosth answered Mary is dead"
Somehow Little Boy lived through
that week, and after awhile the ter
rible pain went away.
But in the heart of the man today
there is still an image of a sweet
faved, shy little girl with big blue eyes
and long yellow curls.
i know, because j saw him last
week and we talked about Mary. And
this is what the big man, who used
to be Little Boy, told me:
I'm my whole life | have never
known greater sorrow than the one
that came to me when my little sweet
heart died. And yet l dared not men
ton it to a soul for fear some OnG
would make fun Of me. Men, women
and even girls can find some express

are inarticulate and so pitifullv scnsi-
live. They yCarH for sympathy, lots
