COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The Walker township cowpusncement was held wt the church in |J Kniman last Thursday afternoon. j < .The church was nicely decorated ; with flags and flowers. The Rev. , c. w. PoetiU, of Rensselaer, gave ; the invocation and benediction. ‘ Professor Clarence Thurber gave < the Class address. County Superin- J tendent M. L. Sterrett distributed < the diplomas to seven boys and girls. ; Those receiving graduation certifi- . cates were: Josephine Rice, Ada 1 Brook, Arthur Myers, Erma Pass, ; Seth Walker, Mabel Potter and < Chester Henricks. Trustee Pettet ; yr an present and did much to make . the affair a success. Mr. Pettet ; secured the Jensen orchestra from ' Wheatfield and it gave the occasion a musical tone that was exceptional ; for commiencements. This orchestra will likely play at commencements another year. It consists of Alex Jensen, wife and two young sons. The Jordan township commencement was held at the Union school in West Jordan last Thursday ait 8 p. m., the Rev. Postill giving the invocation and benediction. A large crowd had gathered to see and hear the exercises. Prof. Clarence Thurber, Of Purdue university, gave the address of the evening. Horton brothers’ orchestra from Rensselaer furnished excellent music . for the occasion. Trustee Huff is to be congratulated upon the smoothness with which the program was executed. The room was nicely decorated. A piano 'had been taken from the Sage home to the school. County Superintendent Sterrett distributed diplomas to Ira Dewey, Mildred Griffin, Opal Fenwick, Feme Fenwick, Edina LaFoon, Gaylord Nafziger, Melvin Nafziger, Frances Nesius, Mabel Rutherford, Ruth Sage, Ernest Shumaker and Myrtle Scripture. The latter, Myrtle Scripture, was not able to be present as she was exposed to the measles and was thought to be taking down with them that evening. ' Esther Sage, one of Mr. Huff s teachers in Jordan, was married an hour or so before the commencement. . The June teatchers’ examination was held in the high school auditorium last Saturday. There were twenty-five applicants who Wrote. There were eighteen applicants for state licenses —three for Newton county licenses find four, for Jasper county licenses. This is the best record on record in Jasper county for years prior. It shows that the teachers are treating the examinations as a day of educational recreation. The fact that seven-ty-two per cent of the applicants were state applicants is the fact that is most promising. Another important indication of growth is that thirty-six per cent of the applicants who wrote for state li censes were teachers who were in the profession prior to 1908. The teaching force in Jasper county is growing exceptionally efficient this year owing to the number who are in colleges and normal schools this summer. The trustees of Jasper county are rewarding the teachers for their extra efforts by advancing their salaries very materially. There are a number of trustees paying as high as $lO5 per month .to teachers who are able to handle difficult schools next winter. Men are very scarce in the teaching profession. These wages are attractive to the women but not for men even at those high figures. So far there is little hope of securing men, but the following townships have been able to get men as follows: Kankakee, 1; Wheatfield township, 2; Keener, 1; Union, 2; Barkley, 0; Gillam, 0; Hanging Grove, 0; Marion, 1; Jordan, 0; Milroy, 0; Carpenter, 0; Walker, 0. It can be seen that to date there are seven men who have' promised to teach in the township schools of Jasper county. One of the most vitalizing influences upon Jasper county s schools will occur When the women obtain the right to suffrage when the special session of the legislature meets this fall. Women then can impart notions of responsible citizenship to the young, since they must educate themselves for that newly given responsibility. As it now is Jasper county is in danger of becoming effeminate. Voting will reduce that danger very materially.

Farmers are busy cutting their wheat throughout the county and the present crops is as fine as any ever raised in the history of the county. Bumper crops of all kinds are promised, providing nothing of a damaging nature occurs between now and harvesting time. Land at the present time is selling at prices higher than ever before and will undoubtedly continue to seek a higher level if the crop continue to be as wonderful in the years to come as they are at present. Vernon Nowels, Calvin Cain, C. Earl Duvall and George Collins went to Bruce Lake Tuesday for fishing. They met with wonderful success, those offsprings of Isaac Walton, bringing home a magnificent display of various types of the fish family. Mr. Nowels claims the crown as plain and fancy fisherman and asserts that his string was the larger, while Cain scoffs at the statement of Nowels, and Duvall, to show why he is king of bait wielders, ushers forth his Coilins remains strangely silent.
