Here are some bargains for some one. The first school visited this week was Forbes, in West Point towhship. | The attendance was not very good on this particular day on account of a sale near the school, but those pres- ent were found to be very willing workers and made a good showing on all work given them. Prof. James Park is teacher and is doing good work for them. He expects to enter the Normal at Warrensburg as soon as his school closes. This is the right thing to do and speaks well for any teacher who is expecting to continue in the work. We have been asked by so many concerning the new course of study that we have decided to mention some of its features through these notes. The Course of Study adopted about ayear ago, by the State Normal School at Warrensburg, offers the teacher the greatest possible freedom in the selection of work. A certain minimum of professional work is required. In addition to this, the student is required to take work in the various academic departments —enough to guarantee a sort of bal- ance in his course. Entire freedom of election is per- mitted to members of the Senior and Junior classes who are candidates for the general Diploma. Should a member of these classes desire to take out a Special Diploma in any line of work, he may do so with the consent of the President and the Head of the Department concern- ed. The course also offers exceptional opportunities for teachers to take the subjects necessary to raise a third excellent work. Fair View, in Elkhart township, is moving along very nicely with Miss Cora Rush as teacher. Miss Rush has been here for four years and the board willdo well to keep her as long as they can for she knows the conditions better than any one and can take up the work without loss to the pupils. The pupils are very will- ing workers and made a good show- ing. Victory, in Mound township, has a light attendance due to measles and colds. This is another good building well furnished and cared for. Mrs. Clara Davidson is teacher and is sat- isfying all concerned. The pupils are very willing workers and are always ready fora test. They are thinkers and not guessers. Dillon is also another good building and well furnished and in good con- dition. Mrs, Kate Yeatts is teacher and is one of our strongest teachers. The pupils are willing to try our tests and make a good showing on the work. They are going to do some special work for me and to say they will do their best is not necessary. Eldorado school, in Homer town- ship, sent in some exceptionally fine work on the test left for them to do. No better work has come to the of- fice. Green View, in Walnut town- ship, sent in fine work also. Bethel school in Charlotte township, sent in all work left for them and it is cor- rect. We are pleased to know that we have such pupils in our schools.

This school has an exceptionally good class in this year of the work. grade certificate to a second, or to raise a second to a first grade. In the Spring and Summer quarters, special provisions are made for reviewing the common school subjects prepara- tory to taking the teachers’ examina- tions in June or August. The State University has endorsed the Course adopted by the State Nor- mal, and grants full credit on advan- ced standing for work done at War- rensburg.

Normals of the state. Amsterdam hasa very successful school under the direction of Prof. Gallatan and Mrs. Archer. The high- er grades here keep up an exception- ally good attendance and best of all do good work in all subjects. In Mrs. Archer’s room we gave tests on num- ber work until satisfied the work is as good as could be expected. The Reading Circle held at night was one of our most successful meetings. Every teacher was present and the room was filled with patrons, high school pupils and friends. The audi- ence was entertained for an hour or more with music furnished by the pupils for which we wish to thank them. The next meeting will be held Feb. 22 and unless something should prevent I expect to be with them again, for it is a pleasure to meet with them. Center school has 14 pupils enroll- ed and 14 in attendance almost every day regardless of weather and bad roads. They made a good showing on the test given but they are very irregular in their work due to former teachers. They are willing and anx- ious to even their work up and be like other schools.

His name is Seth F. Crews, and he has sued for a $35,000 fee because he pronounced the single word ‘‘yes” when asked for a bit of legal advice. On Sept. 25, 1908, John R. Smith, arich mining man, was dying. For seven years he had been engaged to Miss Sarah Peterson, and on that day he asked Miss Peterson to marry him right away. He called in Lawyer Crews and asked if a death-bed mar- riage of that kind wotld be legal. Crews pondered the question fora few moments, and then replied ina word of one syllable, “Yes.” The couple were married. Smith died two hours later and his widew collected his $400,000 estate. Another Attack Upon Conserva- tion. ; New York, Feb.—Gifford Pinchot, deposed chief forester of the United States, but still loyal to his policies as president of the national conservation who shot him. There were no eye witnesses to the killing, although a companion of San- ders remained in the buggy when he got out to stop the boy, and heard the shot. After killing Sanders the boy rode back home and was met at the gate by the dog, which had.been released ele by Sanders. The lad became seriously ill from nervous shock immediately after the killing, and for a time it was feared |" he would die. The Navy Would Use a Shotgun. The lieutenant in charge of the U. S. navy recruiting station received a letter from a farmer in Southern Kansas the other day which read: “Can you tell me the address of a reliable store in Kansas City where I can geta night glass? I have a large vineyard on my farm and it is infested with thieves. If I had a night glass could see them from my house. A night glass is a kind of binocular, which enables a person aboard a ship to view.a large-area of water. commission, defended the rangers of} The lieutenant dictated this reply: the forest service in a speech deliver- ed before the National Arts Club in “14.—That “J am sure that you are mis- taken about what you want to use in regard to the thieves in your vineyard.
