COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(Continuea from Page One)

der the guidance of their popular county superintendent, W. O. Sdhwnlanh, is finding helpful and eager workers among the farmers in the better schools campaign. The county farm bureau has appointed an educational committed of three members of each township of Newton county to co-operate with school officials and others interested in better rural schools. Mass meetings as well as many committee meetings have been field in many townships. Carpenter and Newton townships in Jasper county are being affected with the same sane idea but it is beginning to look as though Newton county is going to lead Jasper in time. New school houses are to be built at Kentland in Jefferson township ana at Morocco and Foresman. Movements are in progress to erect new buildings in Lake and McClellan townships. Each building will be

provided with a fine gyimmasium in addition to all provisions for modern school work. This is a part of the general consolidation plan going forth in Newton county. Pulaski county is also awakening to the better rural schools movement. It is very likely that Carpenter township, Jasper county, will erect two fine buildings the coming summer. Barkley will erect two also. Wheatfield township schools will likely give way to centralized schools the coming summer. A humane awakening aunbng our people relative to the genuine worth of our children is responsible for this progressive movement. It is primarily championed by our state department but sprinkles down to every part of Indiana that has an indifferent attitude towards our country boys and girls. Some parts of Jasper county are making decided progress in the new era of fair play. Bertha Stalbaum,° who ‘was teaching at the Norway school in Walker

township, resigned last Friday to attend school the coming summer. Miss Stalbaum is anxious to get 24 weeks of professional training the coming summer. This should serve as a splendid example of a young teacher who has such confidence in herself that she is ambitious to make herself more efficient by investing all that she has earned during the winter in herself. Mrs. Margaret Pettit Hershman has kindly consented to teadh the school out for Mr. Pettit so that Miss Stalbaum can go on with her training. Robert Rayle has been transferred from the Union school in Marion township to the south Marion consolidated to relieve the teachers there of the tremendous load they have been carrying since the first of March. Union school is being transported to Bowling Green and Belle Center. Elizabeth Budd has been on the sick list and unable to teach the Independence school in Gillam township. Trustee LeFever is also on the sick list. Mrs. James Stevens, wife of ex-Trustee Stevens, is very sick at their home in Gillam township. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens had been in* the west for their health but it seems that the Indiana climate has not been best for Mrs. Stevens since their return.

The eighth grade diploma examination will be held in the high school auditorium Saturday, Meh. 20. Pupils should consult their trustee relative to the place of holding the examination in the townships. Union and Newton will holu theirs at' Rensselaer this year. The regular teachers’ examination will be held in the high school auditorium Saturday, Meh. 27. Hershel Case resigned at Wheatfield and a Mr. Moody from the University of Illinois has been secured to finish the term. Walter Seegrist Is teaching for a few weeks at iDemotte. The state department issued a life license to Miss Margaret Marshall last week. The records in Jasijxer county show that the following teachers in Jasper county hold life licenses in Jasper county: Minnie Tinkham, Wheatfield: Addie Harris, Margaret Marshall, Demotte; Nellie M. Sterrett, Fair Oaks; C. R. Dean, Ora Sage, Kensselaer; Margaret Yeager, Tefft.

JOHN DOE

Who has not heard of the story of John Doe? If you tell a story and do not want to be personal enough as to mention real names, or if you do not care to insert a fictitious one, out comes the old familiar one and that name is John Doe. So John Doe called upon me a few days ago. Yes! John Doe did, and says Johnnie: “I came over today to buy that cow.’’ Oh! you did? “Exactly.” Well now, John, it is too bad but she is gone. I sold •her. “What!” says Johnnie. "You sold that cow?” Yes, that’s what I did, says I. “Well, well, and I’ve been wanting that cow for six months, and always said I’d buy her next time I saw you.” Well, don't take it too hard, John, says I One good service yet I can rt nder you. “What is that?” says he. •’ • Come on and I will dhow you. So I took John out in the barn lot and we walked down the lane toward the stone highway and I says here, John, look. And says he: “What is it?” Don’t you see, says I: there are her tracks; take a good long look at them and remember she will never make any more here, and ulso remember that a hundred more men will act exactly like you, and write nue and phone me and come and see me, and cuss me afar off just because they wanted some of these fine fence posts after it is forever too late. You are not the most foolish man in Che world, John Doe. Oh, no' there are 100 more just like you. EVERETT HALSTEAD.
