made the first games impossible. The
struggle Monday should be bear
cat, as the Havre Killers are leainc
in the western Montana League, and
the result will be a championship
struggle between eastern and western
Montana. The result of TINS game
will be of statewide interest and the
fans of eastern Montana should not
miss the opportunity of witnessing
this titanic swatfest.
House of David He.e July 14-I5
Perhaps the most spectacular
games of the week will be between
brentwood and the House of David
in this city. Fans from all over the
Northeastern parts of Montana and
western North Dakota are planning
to take in the games next Wednesday
and Thursday. The House of David
team appears in full dress, which in
cludes long hair and full flowing
boards, and the novelty of their ap-
pearance is worth the price of admis-
sion alone. But they also have a re2l
baseball team. One of the pitchers
ON the House of David team was Of
fered 100000 to join tne New York
Giants under McGraw, but he would
have to cut his hair and beard As
this is against the religious belief of
the House of David, the player re-
fused to accept the offer The lc"al
park will be crowded to capacity on
these two days and the contests will
no doubt be matters of debate for
the evening chats about the stove
next winter.
PlentywoOd is strengthening Cp
for the above series of games and
expects to give all Corners a run for
their money. Every fan who is in
terested in the great national sport
at all will want to take in all Of
these games, even if he has to walk
many miles to get here
Plentywood is the Mecca for base
ball next week Keep in mind Che
schedule and boost the local boy by
your presence.

SCOUT SUMMER CAMP
CLOSED LAST FRIDAY

On Tuesday eve, the Is Scouts un-
der Scoutmaster Boone, returned
from their eight day Summer Camp
at Brush Lake, tanned and cruelty
burned from the sun but happy.
While in some ways this years camp
was not to be compared to the Car
lyle camp of last year, yet in many
ways it was even better and by far
better than the Brush Lake camps of
the two former years. Some of the
things that made this years camp so
enjoyable were the numerous visitors
from home, with a continuous supply
of fresh eats, the fine bunch Of Scouts
who entered into the spirit of Camp
life and discipline, the excellent boat
ing and bathing, the abundant tent
room and the Lang Service truck as
CommisSary wagon.
A daily program was rigidly fol-
lowed and consisted of rising at 6:30;
breakfast z to s; air bedding and pre-
paration for inspection to 9; inspee-
ton at 9; study on Scout tests 9 to
10; games from 10 to IL: swimming
from II to p; dinner u to 1; rest
hour / to 2; games from . to 3;
swimming 3 o'clock; games, supper
and stories for evening. The Scouts
wish to thank all who have helped
to make this Camp so enjoyable, es-
pecially those furnishing eats, cars,
tents, wood, reductions on supplies,
etc.
Every Scout passed some test and
received the badge of his rank while
on this Camp.

SHERIDAN COUNTY
SCHOOL NOTES

Erwin Nelson of School District No.
60, received the highest average of
any pupil taking the April examina-
tions. His average was 90 percent
The pupils receiving the highest ex-
animation grade in each branch were:
Norman Larson of District No. Sc,
reading 81; Erwin Nelson Of District
Nc 50, spelling "a, arithmetic IS, and
grammar 81; Anna Sorensen of Dis

of District No &c and Erwin Nelson
Of District No. 65 each 81 in agricul-
ture.
When only 60 of 268 taking a pc
ography examination succeed in mass
ing, there's something wrong some
where outside the pupils. Nor can
we dispose of the problem at one
stroke by saying it's the teachers
fault. The State Department out
lines the Course of Study, selects the
textbooks, and makes out the examin-
alton questions. Montana has two
state rural supervisors. Our county
gets one visit a year from one of
these. In paper read by the writer
before the State Teachers Association
at Great Falls last year, it was sup-
geSted that if these supervisors were
To spend their time in Helena instead

month, they would find in the results
some guide as to what they might
reasonably expect from pupils. and
I both teachers and pupils would know
more definitely what was expected of
them | am of the same opinion
still. If others, interested in the
problem, can think of a better solu-
ton, / shall be glad to receive their
/ suggestions and make what use of
them l can.
We have a letter from the State
Department stating that there are a
number of very weak applicants for
4 village principalships in Montana this
year Miss Trumper states that they
know of a number of excellent young
men applying for such positions.
Boards desiring principals will do well

corning their needs.

manned on the board the more valu-
able he should become to it. He might
