Those from Miss Faros’ room were Helen Gunyon, Goldie Sanders, Hazel Stevenson, Lillie Kosta, Carl Lowman, Doris Lowman, Dorothy Lowman, Hazel Beil, Maxine Bell, and Firman Myers. Many counties Are reporting that the matter is meeting with exceptional enthusiasm in Indiana. Children are not sated to give this for the sake of IX6 money to be gotten so much as the lesson of appreciation that this nation owes France. ‘ , L iiS The Virgie schools closed last Friday. A good reception was granted the two teachers, M. M. Lenon and Marie Harris, from the patrons of that community in the form of a big dinner. It is pleasing to note the appreciations this community has for teachers who labor hard for tiie welfare of the community. The teachers of this school represented two opposite angles orPaxperience. Mi*S Harris taught her first term there while Mr. Lenon taught something near his fortyfirst term. He is with. quite a margin the oldest teaching veteran in Jasper county and seems as young as most of the boys and girls who went to school to him.
