Senior Talks
Two senior talks were given
this week. Agnes A%ppelgren spoke
on Rural School Influences" The
two things which she mentioned as
being essential to efficiency in
rural schools were professional
teachers and the teaching of sub
jects which are important in their
relation to farm work and life;
both of these elements have in the
past been neglected in rural
school programs. Margaret
Brownlee spoke on '"The Unhap-
by Man is Always Unsuccessful"
In bringing out her topic Marga-'
ret mentioned the six fundamen-
tails to happiness; good health,
congenial work, self-control, hu-
man companionship, reasonable
leisure and religion.

Tests
A vocabulary test was given to
the high school and eighth grade
pupils this week.
"The testing program in this
school is being given for the pur-
pose of helping the child" says
Superintendent Livingston. We
would like to find a plan whereby
no children would be failures. On
the other hand no child who does
not know the work will be pro
NOTED. A promotion. %unearned is
a most dangerous thing. Sooner
or later the pupil will feel the eff
feet of such an action on the part
of the teacher. A diploma, un-
earned, is of no value. 1t may
secure a person his first position
but knowledge is necessary if he
retains the position"
