COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The township trustees met at the home of County Superintendent Sterrett last Monday and transacted the general business of the month. The first business of the day was the salary question tabled from the November meeting and made the first work of the meeting. ' After much discussion it was found that no uniformity could be gotten on the question. Some of the trustees have already paid a few of x their teachers in full for the six weeks schools were closed. Others had local arrangements with their teachers to make up two weeks and some three. The legal phase was discussed fully and from the correspondence from the State Board ol Accounts it was found that teachers were entitled to their salaries without making the time up. This makes the child the loser. Finally a motion was made to leave the matter to each trustee and bis respective teachers. If the teaphers, for the sake of the child, do extra teaching, then it is an assurance that the teacher is m the work for the good, rather than the money. However, the trustee wil pay in full, leaving the making up to the teacher. This is the situation ii Rensselaer city, Remington town and Wheatfield town. Consequently the rural teacher? stand upon the same footing as the cities and towns of Jasper county on this proposition. The motion was carried unanimously. The food administration urges that teachers who treat at Christmas time should not include candy in the treating. This is done to save the sugar. Prof. John D. Matt, who is principal of the Kankakee township ’ schools, reports Jhat there are three War Savings societies in his school. The largest comprises the 'high schoo and seventh and eighth grades. This society is called the “Thrifty Savers War Savings Society.” They have a charter membership of twenty-one, the pupils owning a total of $684 maturity value in bonds and stamps. The intermediate room organized under the name of “Uncle Sam’s Helpers War Saving Society.” This organization 'has a membership of sixteen pupils who own $298.75 in bonds and stamps. The little folks have an organization called “The Primary War Savings Society.” There are twelve members in this society whose savings aggregate $96.50. Officers were elected in each society. William Fitzgefiald was elected president of the upper organization and Katherine Shepard is secretary. Wilma Neier was chosen president of the second organization and Vaughn Peregrine secretary. The teacher, Miss Grace Poole, was selected president of the primary society with Melissia Sands as secretary. It will be noted that the Tefft schools have an aggregate holding in War Savings securities of $1,079.25 on Dec. 3. They are now busily competing for a patriotic showing in the purchase of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. All of the schools in the county are giving special attention to this now. The-Wheatfield town schools are still dosed on account of the “fia.” It seems to be spreading with each new report from this vicinity. The mumps are raging in *the Fair Oaks school among the primary pupils especially. There are more than seventeen cases in the primary alone. Mrs. Brown took her little daughter to her home last Monday scik with an attack of tonsilitis. However, the little girt is' maging a quick recovery and will be back in school in a few days. The entire school is shrouded in gloom on account of the sudden death of Mrs. Allen. School was closed Wednesday afternoon for the funeral. The school and teachers lose one of their warmest friends in Mrs. Allen’s death.

D. J. BABCOCK WRITES HIS PARENTS FROM FRANCE

Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Babcock have , received the following letter from their son, Delevan, who is with the motor transport division in France: France, Nov. 7.

Dear Parents.—Was very glad to get your two of October 6, which arrived just one' month later. I’ll admit that I haven’t written home for a long time, but I have been very, very busy. The division is back from the front for % rest and several of the trucks are being overhauled and that makes it quite bad for those left outside the workshops. In The last two months my truck has covered almost 4,000 miles, so you can see I haven’t had much time to kill. It is in for a general overhauling now and, 9 new carburetor. The old mill got so bad that three miles to the gallon of gas was the best we could get out of it, so it was. decided to have it, remedied. We are well in the back area now and cannot here any of the big guns and seldom see. an aeroplane even. I understand the division will be brought back to its former strength and undergo probably 60-dayg training before we see the line again. Where that will be no fine knows, of course. The news at present—with Turkey, Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary out of the way, and Germany’s meet Jdarshal Foch at 12:30 o’clock today On the western front—seems to me to cast a doubt as to whether the division will ever see the front line again. The armistice terms granted to those countries acceptng them practically eliminates them from the war. white flag party on its way to No, I have never written to Ossie, hoping always to meet him or some one else I knew in the States, but so far have met no one from' around home whatever. In fact, we have 'been used chiefly as shock troops and thus are generally on the move most of the time, remaining in . one place but a short time. <

A couple of our trucks went to Paris the other day and while there the party saw some of the dandy trucks that are being 7 sent over for the American army, equipped with Liberty motors. The fellows said they certainly looked good to them. I don’t suppose we will ever get them though. _ Have been tusslelng with one of those short-timed but intensive bilious attacks I am subject to for the past three or four days, so if this letter sounds a little rambling, do not be alarmed. I will- come out of it some day again as usual, I guess, though at present I am riot feeling as good as possible. Oh, yes, the French civilians say the war is already “finis” or over, and they are celebrating' accordingly. I will have to close now, hoping that by or 'before this reaches you peace will be a fact indeed. Trusting this finds you all well and hoping to see you soon, will close, with love, v DEB.

LIEUT. GUY DANIELS WRITES FROM OVERSEAS

Mrs. William Daniels has received the following letter from her son, Lieut. Guy Daniels, who is with the American forces in •France: • • - « Tours, France, November 2, 1918. Dear Mother. —I have not much to write about but ’will try and write a few lines to let you know that I am well. Believe I told you I was sick for a couple of weeks.

Had what they call the Spanish Flu, I guess, in bed for a couple of weeks but now am .over It and feeling fine. The weather fiere is all right so far. I do not understand what is the reason T do not hear from yon. Haven’t had a letter from you since I left the States and as that was in August it seems quite a while. It may be that you have been writing and have not addressed your letters correctly. My correct address is given. below. If yofi addres my letters just as I have it letters should' reach me in ’ from three -to four weeks. Sometimes they come through in less time than that. When we were traveling I sent several postal cards from different stations along the route. . Did you ever receive any of them? ' - This is a fine country over here, at least it is in peace times. The scenery is beautiful in France but do not know that it is any nicer, if as nice, than England, end I had the wonderful opportunity of going from almost the extreme northern end tp the southern. The fields here are what we would call, in the States, extremely small. Some not more than an acre or two. They have some fine grapes in France and almost everyone that has a patch of ground has some grapes on it. Garden vegetables are quite plentiful because they utilize almose every foot of ground. - ' . From the war news o>t the last few days it does not look like we would have to stay over here much longer. -The news from the front is certainly very encouraging. They have .been taking thousands and thousands of prisoners and much ammunition and guns. This town- is quite interestlnr and has many historical places of interest. I have not been able to see so very much of it as yet on account of beißg sick and then have been so busy. We work from 8:30 a. m., to 5:30 p. ml, and from 8:30 to on Sundays and quite a good many nights through the week, so you see Sunday afternoon is about the only time we have for sight-seeing. ' I do not think of any more to write about just now so will close and hope* to hear from you soon. In-closing. I remain, as ever, Your son, - * ■ s GUY. My correct address is G. M. Daniels, Liept.
