In the discussion concerning the matter of absence for trivial reasons much of the blame was put upon the parents who give their children exotics too readily and who often keep them out of school for a pleasure trip. The matter of gossip was felt to be as much of a home problem is a school problem, and one of the

THRESHES OATS WHILE SNOW COVERS GROUND
DECATUR, Ind., March 21—(INS) — .Making hay while the sun shines is an old adage and too often done to be more than commonplace, but for a farmer to thresh nuts while the enow flies, like Horace Greeley’s famous dc linition of a’ man biting u dog, that is news. A record for early oats threshing was established on the W. L. Gander farm near hero when 400 bushels of grain were threshed from 10 acres of] outs during the reiunt heavy full of snow. Guilder would probably lie the champion early uats grower in the world from his pic ent record were it not for one thing, i’ho oats weir proven last summer and stored iu a good dry barn all winter.

Williams indicated the importance of, the student teaching in the preparation of teachers for public schools. He ; showed that in other comparable pro-
nursing, dentistry and the like, us-
ually a year of practice work is involved in the training of the worker. Before the present plan was inaugurated, Mr. Williams pointed out young teachers went into the schoolusually without any pi actu al wors and consequently floundered around two or three years wiih the children as sufferers. Now a young trade r not only has n full college or noi nini school course but is expected to do at least half a year of carefully planned teuehing under ,i trained supervising
teacher.
Mr. Williams read siatnient - wiltten by DePuuvv student teachers, regular critic teachers in the Greencstle High School and pupils in classes under student teachers. The trend of the letters brought out the beii"flts of student teaching, not only to the teachers in training but the pupils in the High Schools. "It Ii clear" said .Mr. Williams 'Thu* under the strict guidance oi the critie teach ers .student teachers are able to giw more individual help to pupils, to dc'.r up their (luhiultles, to find mat eria’s for their lessons and to tom up the school generally." One of the critic teacher- wrote as follows: “The presence ol the .indent teachers Is a big help. The regular teachers tire kept at their best when being observed.” Letters from a num ber of the pupils in the High School giving their opinion of the student teachers were read. Pupils were open and frank in their ciiticisiiH but many of them pointed out tlio benefits of student teaching. in many eases they complimented their
regular teachers.
In concluding. Mr. William said that everyone Is agreed that the para mount question is the welfare and int eiests of the children. This must lie safeguarded at all cost. But. assuming that student teaching is as good or better than teaching under ordinary conditions it becomes the duty of a community in close proximity >«
