ee BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS By Supt P. M, Alison. One very pleasing thing about our Annual Meetings is the number of districts that voted to build new school houses or to repair their old ones. Many others are going to do something along this line during the vacation. I am sure that this is a good thing for children cannot be ex- pected to do, their best unless com- fortably situated. teacher is the most important duty the board will have to consider ing the year. With such a teacher the school is sure to be a success in part at least and without this there is but little chance for success. Since the public money is to be distributed after this on the percentage of at- tendance ‘it is “more important than ever that a good teacher be secured that the attendance may be better. Hudson City district, in Hudson township, is perhaps the most active and-wide awake one in the county. They are-not only going to have a new house but have organized a Mutual Improvement Club and have meetings twice a month and have ar- ranged to have a fair next fall and have $60 subscribed for prizes on corn alone. That much good will come of this cannot be questioned. The questions for county gradua- ‘tion have been mailed out to the teachers in the various parts of the county and it is hoped that the ones selected for this can give it their best attention and that all pupils who are prepared to do the work will be on hand. I really doubt the advisability of high schools accepting pupils who have not taken some kind of a test on this work. Many pupils who have . taken ninth grade work in the country schools will either have to enter some high school now or drop out of the work and this should not-be done. There are good high schools in the county willing to accept this year’s work and permit you to take up the next grade and I hope to see a large number do so. Miss Maggie McCann reports the following pupils as spelling all the words in the contest: Amy Eggle- son, Jessie Badgley, Maggie Vance, Lee Hardinger and Norman Eggleson. Miss Juanita Reese of North Muddy in Osage township reports: Myrta Ellis, William Ellis, Bertha Hall, Mishie Freeze, Cassie Freeze, John Lynn, Enos Hall, Claude Ellis, Craw- ford Ellis, Marion Hall, Arthur Zim- merman, Oris Hall and Emil VanBen- thusen. She also reports $50.45 as the result of an entertainment for the “benefit of the library and other equipments. , Miss Rosalie Wix of Hazel Dell, in Hudson township reports: Burl Browning, Camie Morgan, Blanche Cordes, Ola Deller, Minnie Freeze, Anna Dotson, Ada Deller, Walter Taylor, Fred Duffield, George Hunt, Trecy Dotson and Etta Deller. Miss M. Kate Pharis of room three Adrian reports the following third grade: Clyde Kendrick, Elma Ken- nel, Nellie Ashcraft, Vela Brumley, Francis Howard. Fourth grade: Nellie Owen, Troas Lunn, Patrick Thornton, Claud Six, Lelia Stone and Pearl Wolf. The greater part of this and last week has been given to grading papers and I hope to be able to .mail out the results by the last of this week. * Hogs! Hogs!! Hogs!!! Registeréd Duroc Jersey.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved; and favorable re- ports were given from the various outstanding committees. The treas- urer’s report was given in full, show- ing a greater expenditure for the year 1910 than for any previous year. Receipts.

Married—Friday, March 31, at 11 o’clock, at the home of the bride in Virginia, Mo., Miss Willia Darr to Mr. Fred O. Laughlin. To the strains of a beautiful wed- ding march, rendered by Miss Thula Darr, the bride and groom entered Halie the room preceded by Rev. Wm. Mayfield who in a simple but impres- sive manner made them manand wife. The bride wore a dress of pure white, almost untrimmed, but beautiful in its simplicity. She carried a beauti- ful bouquet of white carnations. After the ceremony and congratu- pviiabobieny bride.

Mr. | Bartholdt contended that the Speaker had forgotten how “‘consistently Re- publican” the metropolis of his own State had shown itself to be in the municipal election of last week. The President’s part in the meeting , of the triumvirate was to laugh, ac- cording to the account, which must, of course, have been given to the press by Mr. Bartholdt himself. But Mr. Bartholdt also forgot some things. He forgot to tell about the reduction in the peercentage of Republican vote | to total vote in that election as com-| pared with the November election. | He forgot to tell how 21,000 names; have disappeared entirely from the| registration lists since that November | election and how, in that election, thousands of aliens and negroes had been permitted to vote illegally under those names and how carelessness or something worse on the part of the precinct boards caused the count to be an utterly untrustworthy index of the markings on the ballots in the boxes.
