COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(By Co. Supt. Sterrett) The March teachers' examination was held at the high school building last Saturday. There .were 77 manuscripts prepared during the day-. Thirty-six of these manuscripts were sent to the state department. The first school reporting a contribution for the Marne memorial in France came from the two upper rooms at Parr taught by C. M. Blue and Martha Faros. The pupils in the upper room contributed 99 cents and those in the intermediate 60 cents. Those contributing were: Roy Gunyon, Alva Whited, Leona Kosta, Oliver Mattox, Frances btiobe, Howards Sigman, Ollie Henry, Hazel Lowman, Edith Sanders, Bertha Campbell, Marion Whited and Emma Sheffer from Mr. Blue’s room. Those from Miss Faros’ room were Helen Gunyon, Goldie Sanders, Hazel Stevenson, Lllie Kosta, Carl Lowman, Doris Lowman, Dorothy Lowman, Hazel Bell,. Maxine Bell and Firman Myers. Many counties are reporting that the matter is meeting with exceptional enthusiasm in Indiana. Children are not asked to give this for the sake of the money to be got-t ten so much as the lesson of appreciation that this nation owes France. 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 apprecaitions this community has for teachers who labor hard for the welfare of the community. The teachers of this school represented two opposite angles of experience. Miss Harris taugnr ner first term there, while Mr. Nenon 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.
