BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS By Supt P. M. Allison. The first school visited this week was Summit Center in Summit town- ship. Mrs. E. T. Hines hnd just taken up the work here and had not time to get her work in very good order. She is going to try to make this the very best school possible. She is meeting with some difficulty in getting her work well classified as she has been out of the work for some time. oy Fry is moving very well excepting a light attendance caused by scarlet fever. They are doing some good thinking here and are making a rec- ord that would be a credit to any one. It interesting to see how well they can work. Miss May Fry, of Rich Hill, is teacher and is doing good work as usual. Orchard Grove has a very good at- tendance and the pupils are good workers and have taken up some work left for them to do that is worth while. That they will succeed is as- sured. Miss Hazel Titus is teacher and has done a great work in organiz- ing and classifying her school. Marshall has a very good attend- ance anda good interest, and some pupils that are willing and can work. The school board has done some im- proving and best of all have dug a well, but it should be put in better condition at the first opportunity. Miss Pauline Porter is teacher and is teaching her second term for them which speaks well for her. She ex- pects to attend summer school at Warrensburg another very commend- able thing. The greater part of the week was spent with Dr. Hawkins of Warrens- burg Normal, visiting Adrian, Butler, Rich Hill and Hume. Meetings were held at Adrian and Hume. These schools are all doing well and the pupils at each place gave Dr. Hawk- ins very close attention as he talked tothem. Rich Hill has the largest enrollment of any school in the coun- ty, having 153. Adrian has the larg- est enrollment of non-resident pupils, but Butler will have the largest graduating class. The teachers’ meeting at Foster was well attended and some excellent papers were presented. The teach- ers were very much pleased with the lesson given by Mr. E. E. Laughlin and sons, Rutherford and David, on corn judging. Mr. Laughlin is one of our most scientific, and better still, practical farmers. He has made a success of his work and is trai his boys for the s: wor Mabel Bail gave talk on the “Fdeal Teacher,’ which was greatly appreciated by all and the teachers thank them for their their interest in the work, in fact the great problem in school work is to get patrons to take as much interest as they should and when such persons as they will assist us we are doubly thankful. The teachers from out of the town- ship were Supt. Burke, Principals Davis and Buckles, of Butler; Prof. Smith, of Merwin; Prof. Holwell, of P Park, o mon , principal of Rich Amoret; B and Prof. Coonrod, Hill High School. In announcing the spelling contest and county graduation examination some of the papers got the dates mixed a little and they are given again, The spelling contest will be April 8th; county graduation examina- tions will be held April 15th and 22d, at various places in the county. Miss Maude Morgan, of Star school, in Lone Oak township, reports the following pupils as spelling all the words in the contest: Flossie Med- ley. Christeen Warren, Nita Warren, Luceil Geneva, Bernice Lawrence, William Geneva, Ella Searfus, Clonie | Medley and Margaret Thomas, Ivan Warren, Floyd and Opal Floyd did not miss any while present but were not present every day. Storia, Doris Dean, Arthur Price, Ruth Dean, Clara Nieman, Erma Price and Oscar Conrod. During this contest 900 words were spelled and 33 were missed by the 24 pupils in the contest. : The following is taken from the quarterly report of Miss Opal Here- ford for Scifers school. Fourteen 100’s were made and the general average for the school is 93.4. The following pupils have no grade below | the average: Nora Beshore, Lillie Bentlage, Eorene Ferrell, Blanche Baker, Ruth Baker, Della Baker, Alice Dubach, Arthur Baker, George Harkader and Roland Link, and the the following did not fall below 92: | Irene Ferrel, Mabel Beshore, Alma Link, Grace Fennewald, John Du- bach and Paul Baker. | The Horse-Shoers of Butler are informed that the public has been misinformed in regard | to the advance that has been made on horse-shoeing. The advance is only 25 per cent, in- stead of 75 to 100 per cent on the average run of horse-shoeing. There is no advance on re-setting old shoes. | : Charges on stable horses in propor- tion.

Holden, a boy tramp, who claims South Brooklyn, N. Y., as his home, worked himself into a job here in one of the State departments because of his voluntary efforts to help save con. tents of the burning Capitol Sunday night. The youth dropped off the blind| baggage of a Missouri Pacific train, | which arrived here while the fire was | at its height, and hastend to the Capi- | tol grounds. He ran into the build-; ing and began carrying out anything he could get his hands on. | In the excitement no one paid any attention to him until he was heard | criticising several local men, who re- I marked that they did not care to take any risks unless they were paid. “This is not the time to think of | pay,’ he shouted. ‘Come on, and) get this stuff out.”’ | Holden wag among the last to leave | the building and as he carried his last! § DepeppPSSLLASLLALALSLLLASLLLSLPSLAL A, load to the lawn he sank down exe! hausted and wet to the skin.
