SCHOOL NEWS
Changing Teachers.

This office has always tried to dis
courage most changes in teachers.
AS rule it is best for the teacher
and also the school for the teacher
to remain in the same position. Usual
ly a teacher can do better work in the
same school as years 60 by. One of
our best teachers is now teaching her
18th successive year in district IT.
Yet more than one-third of our rural
schools had new teachers this year.
Thirty-four positions have already
been reported vacant for next year.
This large turnover does not spell the
best service as a rule.
Adjustments Made.
We have always found the State
Department of Education officials
very willing to recheck and correct
any errors they make in juggling
so many figures and computing state
aids from time to time.
Errors that we reported to them
concerning the state aids received in
February affecting districts LOG

Thomas Takes A Shot.
1t isn't much of chance that Harry
Thomas faces in Chicago April l but,
for what it is worth, it is chance
at the heavyweight championship of
the world and 1 suppose it is worth
taking.
Every item of dope says Thomas
will be knocked out early. 1t can
happen at any time from the begin
ming of the second round.
But, when Thomas enters the ring,
he will know that, if he does land
lucky punch he will be a mil
lionaire.
And he knows more than that He
knows he has the punch. There isn't
any doubt that he hits hard enough
to knock Joe Louis out.
Every theory of boxing says he is
not fast enough or clever enough to
get that punch home. Theory says
he simply hasn't a chance.
But who can blame him for step
ping out and taking his best shot.
If he loses it's another knockout
against his record and, after all fight
ers are being knocked out every day
in fights in which they had nothing
to win but few hundred dollars.
AT least Thomas has something to
shoot at and those who know him
up around Wadena and Eagle Bend
will tell you he has the courage to
take steady aim.
FitZ Showed Him.
Fans often wonder how it feels to
be knocked out One fan was Won
dering about it when he sauntered
into a San Francisco saloon just after
Jim Jeffries had won the heavyweight
title from Bob Fitzsimmons.
Freckled Bob was there with a
party of friends. They all fell into
one party, as often happens in front
Of a bar.
In the friendliest of spirit the fan
said, "I've often wondered how it
feels to be knocked out. Tell me,
Bob, how does it feel?"
Fitz reeled unsteadily around to
face the fan, then suddenly loosed his
terrific left hook to the jaw. The
fellow was out for 80 minutes and it
required frenZied medical attention
to bring him back at all.
AS soon as he opened his eyes Fitz
snarled, "Now, you bloody Brighter,
you know how it feels"
They say of Fitz that he was just
that kind of practical joker but the
fact that the poor fan was so years
old and meant no harm may make
you wonder how Fitz could find any
fun in that joke.
