with Mrs. Lena Frohn. George Anderson, residing on the Schuyler Robinson farm In Gillam, met with a painful accident Tuesday afternoon when he fell from a spreader with such force that his leg was fractured above the ankle. Last Thursday William Schleman and family of Valparaiso motored to Chicago In their new Hudson sedan. They parked the car in the loop, locked the doors and removed the switch, but automobile thieves, who are expert when it comes to getting away with cars, no matter what thelocking devices are, stole the car. It was valued at $3,600 and Mr. Schleman carried theft insurance to the amount of $2,500. The Chicago police are trying to locate the car. Rev. T. J. Reeder,- pastor of the Methodist church of this place, was seriously injured Wednesday night of last week while assisting with the taking down of the Chautauqua tent. The large iron center pole was being removed when It fell, striking Rev. Reeder about the head and body. He was painfully hurt and rendered unconscious for quite awhile. The accident seemed to be unavoidable. He was able to be out some Tuesday and is doing nicely.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(By Co. Supt. Sterrett) Ulrlc Henricks of Kniman has been employed in Porter county to teach a large school. Mr. Henricks was in the office last Saturday and reports that he has his school well under way for the year’s work. Two teachers in Jasper county were able to send the county superintendent copies of their daily programs at the close of school last Friday so that they were received in the Saturday morning mail. They were Ira Washburn, a begmner, who is teaching the Banta school for Mr. Parker in Hanging Grove, and Miss Mabel Kemper of Wheatfield, who is teaching the Center school in Wheat-

field township for Mr. Bowie. The promptness of these two teachers Is entitled to commendation. The reports if promptly made will enable the county superintendent to exercise a closer j»nd more efficient sup ervision over the school system of the county. Each month the teachers should render a complete report on the blanks provided in the registers. Adele Gwin of Rensselaer was employed by Mr. Lefevre of Gillam township to teach the Fairview school after the Grafton lady was reported as gone to parts unknown. Miss Gwin is a beginning teacher but she has the school well organized and well under way for the year’s work. Wheatfield town schools opened

last Monday with the following teachers: Thomas H. Mahan, Supt.; Ethel L. McMillan, Mary E. Hammond, Anna Hunsicker, Clara Dillman, Minnie Tlnkham. The following applicants from state department were reported successes on the August teacher’s examination: Adele Gwin, Mata Hauser, Lucy Hauser, Helen Leatherman, Jessie Merry, Hazel Gray. Trustee Wood of Milroy has arranged with Walter Gilmore to haul the six pupils from the Lone Star district over to Queen City. Richard Bowie, who taught as substitute teacher in a number of schools in Wheatfield and Kankakee townships last year, made a short visit with the county superintendent last Saturday. Mr. Bowie is employed in Battle Creek, Mich., at a salary that makes school teaching salaries seem much too small. He will likely be sent to California for the company within a short time. County Supt. W. O. Schanlaub of Newton county made a friendly call at the office last Saturday. This good-natured school man reports that Newton county has all of her schools running. Newton county employs but seven beginning teachers while Jasper county employs 32. It is understood that the Wheatfield town teachers wilt not affiliate with the north end townships In township Institute work the coming year. Owing to the expense involved the town trustees will exercise their right to reject Institutes. The teachers in Wheatfield township will be transferred to Keener and Kankakee townships. Trustee Davisson of Barkley has employed Charles Huffman to teach the Canada school. Mr. Huffman lives at Chalmers in White county. The Barkley schools will open Monday, Sept. 13. The large school at Newland will be divided and the first four grades will be taught in the Catholic church and the other four grades will be taught in the school building. This school will not open until later. Day Jordan and Allie Morehouse will teach these two rooms at Newland. Mr. Davisson will spend the greater part of next week at Turkey Run in Parke county. Many of the trustees are finding it difficult to secure board and lodgings for teachers. It is reported in many counties that schools are being closed on account of this. Communities owe it to their children to take care of a teacher at a reasonable amount for board and Yoom. Trustees are certainly justified in closing a school aftur serving proper warning upon a community about the matter of caring for the teacher. The teachers in the town schools at Wheatfield are facing the same trouble that rural teachers are having. The transportation law in effect now provides that children living in abandoned districts who are more than 1% miles from the school where they are to attend are entitled to transportation. All other cases are left wholly to the discretion of the township trustee. Patrons should get the law clearly in mind before objecting to the hauling situation. The Jasper county truant officer is P. R. Blue. Rensselaer. Report all cases of truancy to this man and he will enforce the law.
