Shocked the Teacher But She Will Probably Recover.

In reporting a school contest held in connection with the Newton county corn show at Kentland last week the Goodland Herald said that the Brook school exhibited three cabarets. It had aimed to say three “tabarets,” and imagine the shock to’the sensitive feminine teacher when she read that.her scholar had given three “cabarets,” which means places where liquor is sold and drank, but the more modern meaning of the term being a place for eating and drinking where entertainment of music and dancing, often quite undecorous, takes place. The teacher was terribly shocked but it is probable that she will recover.

Brother Logan “stands from under” and produces the typewritten copy of County Superintendent Schanlaub to show that the mistake originated in his office.
