Christmas gifts, in addition to their regular line of goods. One of the largest crowds of the year was in the city Saturday, which was auto day. and the merchants till did tt line business. The jewelry stores, fblloU’I iug the usual custom, having been retutilniug open during the evenings for seviTtil days already. BOY SCOUT NOTICE! Bov Scout troop No. 2, will meet at 7 o'clock Friday evening in room No. 9, of the- Central school building. RURAL LIFE and EDUCATION YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER Have you met your child's teacher yet; or if the same teacher as last year, have you called to assure her of your interest in her success and the welfare of the pupils? If you have been a teacher yourself, you know just how much this expression of interest on the part of the parents encourages the teacher and helps.her to make even greater effort toward success. Perhaps this is the first year for your child and he is just becoming acquainted with his teacher. You maysee him imitating his teacher in many of his actions and words. You will hear him talking to his dog or perhaps to the baby and using terms and expressions his teacher has used in his hearing. You will know by this that your child, like all children, is a great imitator. Then, will you not wish to get acquainted with the woman who is teaching him during the day? She is “making your child as we might term it. and it is up to you to see that this remaking is for his best good according to your idea of what your child should be and do. Send a note to the teacher and in ; vite her home to spend the night with your family. If she is the right sort of teacher, she will come and be glad to meet you in your honie. Then watch yuor child and see how proud he acts at when he sees his very own teacher in conversation with Iris own mother. If the teacher happens to speak of his good work at school, he will feel especially proud and it will cause him to love his teacher more and he will have a different interest in her after he has seen her

helping you with the supper dishes and talking household and school matter with you. If you can. look back into your own young childhood and recall with what joy you walked besMe your teacher when she came home with you for the night. Children are not so different from what they were when you and I went to the district school and you must be young enough to know what your child will enjoy in Ilia youth. The greatest mistake parents can make is to forget that they once were young and forget how to pit as* and amuse their own little children. When the teacher leaves in the | morning, she will very likely tell you she is so glad to have had an opportunity to see your child in his own home and to know of his pleasant home surroundings. And when you! put your child to bed that night he will'be sure to tell you how happy it made him to have the teacher in his home. If he does not mention it, you can introduce the subject yourself and I'm sure he wfll be ready to express his delight then. If the teacher of your school can have the support of each patron, in all probability she will have a successful school term. There are exceptions. to be sure, but when these' occur it is up to the patrons to remedy the situation in some tactful manner. If suggestions or criticism must be made, go directly to the teacher and not to a neighbor. Many times a kindly word of suggestion or even criticism will help the teacher to solve some problem that has been too complex for her own solving. Help and cooperate; >and you will in all probabilityclose a successful school term and vote for a return of the teacher. There are not half so many "dreadful" teachers as we are sometimes inclined to believe. —Indiana Farmer's ' Guide. x „ . Court House I Jury Commissioners Appointed Judge Jesse C.
