One of the pleasing things concern- | ing my work is the way pupils take | hold and work on any tests given them. Double Branch, Peru an Pleasant Valiey No. 2 have alt sent in their work in fine condition. It is really a pleasure to know we have such pupils. sponded well to all work and are very willing workers- Miss Anna Shouse is teaching this school and has her pupils taking a good interest in their work, Her primary pupils are doing excellent work. We left some work for the pupils here, and they were busily engaged on it when we started for the next school. Over at Wilcox Miss Verna Chap- is teacher. She is an Adrian High School pupil and Summer School at Warrensburg last summer. She is a good instructor and her pupils seem to be taking good interest in the work. At Tygard school we had concluded to leave without giving any work at all but so anxious were they to work that we had to remain longer in order to furnish a little test. They work with a good will, and we are going to visit them right soon again just be- cause they like to work so well. They all take pride in making their school the very best possible and when conditions are as they are in this school it is not necessary to say they have a good school. Miss Rosale Fisher, of Butler, is teacher and ev- ery pupil thinks they have the best teacher in the county and would re- sent any thing to the contrary. Down at Star, in Lone Oak town- ship, the reception was a very cold one on the part of the stove. They use a coal stove but better a cold stove. However, the pupils and | teacher are alright and made up for the coldness of the stove, but really we believe that the board should see if they can help them with the stove. The girls of this school know how to pop corn and then how to divide up with friendsand visitors. This school has long been. noted for its good and industrious pupils and the present ones are keeping the record up to the highest point. Miss Loe Reese is teacher and is to be commended for her good work and the manner in which she interests her pupils. At No. 5 in Mt. Pleasant township they have seven pupils enrolled. It isa very difficult matter to arouse much interest in the classes in such a school as this. The teacher, Miss Carrie Palm, is doing her best with the work and is succeeding as well as most any one could under. such cir- cumstances. She has some very sat- isfactory work in the primary grades. At Rocky Point in Mound township the pupils were so willing to work that we did not get away until very nearly five o'clock. They believe in|}, trying their very best on any and all teaching the school and making an ef- fort to grade the school but owing to the condition in which she found it the task is rather a difficult one. Miss Sharp is making a decided im- provement in the condition of affairs. Prof. Hoover as principal and Prof. D.C. Clements, Miss Lucy Dowell, Woods, Prof. Herman Crow, Mrs. C, C. Woods and Miss Eula Shelton as assistants. They have an enrollment of 260 in all. They have one of the brightest and best primary rooms in the county. This is one of the new allowed their primary teacher, Miss Shelton, to have a say in the planning of the room. Prof. Hoover has a large and interesting class of prospec- tive teachers taking the reading circle arranged for visiting the school ina systematic way. Every citizen you et in the town is interested in the school, and, of course, the school spirit is good. Adrian may well feel proud of herself on this as wilt many other things. _ Miss Minnie Holwell, of Mingo echool in'Grand River, says in her quarterly report that her work ‘is moving along well and that pupils and teacher are alike interested in No. 7.in Mt. Pleasant township re-| school work. Miss Dixie Sharp is ‘et State of Mi Adrian school is doing fine with] qo, rooms built this year, and the board | th cle in Walnut township, and she re- | ports a very interesting meeting and | especially the part rendered by Miss Emily Woodfin. Prof. Bass; of Warrensburg, who |is to attend our Prairie City meeting, dl and Dr. McAllister, who is to be in |Rich Hill the 27th, write us that they [we annee to get acquainted with | Bates county teachers. The Prairie City meeting was the most successful one of the years in the way of attendance of patrons. Every seat was taken and much in- terest was manifested. The people of that part of the county have the right school spirit and are to be com- mended for their progressiveness. All the teachers, excepting one, were prepared on the program. Prof. Bass gave a most excellent talk on Teaching History. He dis- cussed fully the teaching of sev- enth year U. S. History. Teachers having trouble with this should have been present. He insists that pa- triotism should be international and not sectional as it usually is. He em- phasized the need of a library for teaching the subject in the best way. The nice school yard and rooms caus- ed ed him to go out of the way to say a few words along that line. The Prof. expressed a desire to visit Bates again. We expect to give bam the opportunity. Miss Cleo Hartley, of Coleville in Deer Creek township, writes us that there was not a pupil tardy during the first quarter of her scoool. This speaks well for both teacher and pupils, and the school has many other equally’strong points. says she got many good and useful points during the association and thinks it the best association we have had. We attended the Pleasant Gap Reading Circle last week. Only one teacher was absent. They havea very interesting circle and are plan- ning to make their meeting Dec. 10th more interesting than any yet. Teachers in adjoining townships are invited to attend. At Miller school, in Mt. Pleasant township, they were taking a test! under the teacher, so we did not pro- long our part of the work. The pupils made a very creditable show- in on all we gave them. There are several pupils here who are going to try finishing on county graduation.- Mrs. C. C. Lyle is teaching the school and has been for several years and will continue to teach it as long as she cares to. This is one school board that does not change teachers every year. .

Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 21. “Is the world going crazy, and if so, how can the tide be tumed?”’ This problem is put up to the Board of Control of Charitable Institutions of Kentucky by Doctor Louis H. Mil- liban, superintendent of the Lakelan Asylum, and the board is asked to aid in solving it. Several plans are suggested and the board is urged to have the next General Assembly ap- point a committee to investigate the problem. Heredity and drunkenness are the cause of nearly one-half of all the in- sanity in the world, according to sta- tistics furnished by Doctor Mulligan in his report tothe board this year. A warning note comes from Doctor Mulligan when he informs the board that insanity is increasing six times as rapidly as the population, and while it can never be entirely elimi- nated, it can, ina measure be check- Doctor Mulligan says in his report: “The increase of insanity in all the civilized countries of the world is one of the serious problems of the age, for it is everywhere in excess of all proportion to the growth of popula- tions. “Indeed, insanity seems to be a disease of, or attendant upon civiliza- tion; for, while it is found among all people, regardless of social advance- ment, its great prevalence is to be noted only as coexistent with civiliza- tion. The many theories which seek {to furnish explanation for this un- pleasant fact do not belong to a re- port of this character, but the in- | crease seems certainly abnormal, and its alarmingly constant progress is a condition,. and not a theory. | “It has arrived at the point where | the question is asked, | going crazy?’’ And that the condi- tion is such that it may be summariz- ed by even so careless an inquiry, is | sufficient to awaken us to the grav- \ity of the situation.” No. 363.

Kansas sportsmen are finding that | game killed in Missouri, is an expen- | sive luxury, as already several of }them have paid fines for hunting in |that state without a license, which |} would cost $25 for a nor-resident of | that state. Only a few days ago, two hunters from this city were caught | shooting ducks south and east of this | city and were compelled to put up $100 apiece for their appearance, as they had not only violated the game laws by hunting without a license but had also killed a number of birds in violation of the law, each of which constituted a separate offense. On Sunday another hunting party went over to that state and were hunting in the vicinity of Richards, when two of them were accosted by a game warden who demanded that they show their license. As they were unable to do so they were arrested and compelled to put up $25 each for their appearance in court at Nevada, to answer to the charge against them. Another of the party who was hunt- ing ducks on the same lake had grown weary of waiting for the arriv- al of game and had lain down and gone to sleep, only about 25 yards from where the warden found the other two. Ashe had securely hid himself from the ducks that were ex- pected to arrive, he.was also out of sight of the officer and escaped | arrest. The vigilence of the Missouri game warden is explained by the fact that | they receive one half of all fines col- lected from hunters arrested for vio- lating the law. They are keeping a close watch on the state line, east of this city, in the hopes of making nu- merous arrests as it is a profitable business for them.—Ft. Scott Tri- bune.
