COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(By Co. Supt Sterrett) - • The board met in regular session last Monday with th 6 following trustees answering to the roll call: Fairchild of Keener, Duggleby of Kankakee, LaFevre of Gillam, Harrington of Union, Rush of Newton, Postill of Marion, Barker of Hanging Grove, Wood of Milroy, and Huff of Jordan came in for the afternoon session that had adjourned. The board allowed and ordered filed Mr. Mawhorter’s bills for salary and expenses. The subject of truancy was presented by a number of trustees and a resolution was passed unanimously urging the truant officer to give more attention to flagrant abuses of the law in the northern end of the county. A number of thb teachers are giving box socials and ordering Y. P. S. C. books. Many teachers ask about the address of the company publishing these books. They can be gotten of John F. Haines, 619 Lemcke Building, Indianapolis, Ind. The state-wide educational awakening will reach every school in Jasper county. Teachers who are planning box socials can' give this in connection with that program. This educational stimulus should be giveh from Nov. 7 till Nov. 17. But If it is Impossible to give if between those dates then it can be given later. Each teacher should cater to her duty in this regard. The trustee will co-operate in this matter. Two classes of teachers furnish material for discussions in the board meetings. The first class is the failing class; the second class is the exceptionally successful teachers. The mediocre teacher is the teacher who does her work, attends to her school affairs in a way that no negative nor affirmative criticism comes from the patrofis or trustee. The greater part of our children get their notions of citizenship from this mediocre type of teachers. The pupils who come from the influences of the exceptionally successful eacher are usually progressive, en -rgetic, ambitious. ' Those who come from the influences of the failing teacher are often non-law-abiding, careless, selfish, garrulous, crAbit, f in-making citizens. The ' greater part of our citizenry emerges with the influences of the mediocre teacher coloring their lives throughout. They are quiet, easy-going, lawpeople willing to be guided bv the citizens emerging from the higher typed teacher. Jasper county has these three types of teachers in all of its parts. No school corporation can overpay the highest and best type of teatehers. Their influences pass on to posterity with growing momentum. Unfortunately the Influences of the failing type passes with equal momentum but In developing the bad in people. Such a teacher is overpaid when her teaching is gratis. The middle class is really the class that is played upon by the two other classes ,of its citizens. They are pliable, easiy ruled, com passionate, patriotic, self-support-ing and undisturbing. These subjects are lofty but the Jasper county board has the right to indulge dis cusslons upon them. This state-wide educational drive will awaken the

parents of children to the great Importance of the teacher In their fcome schools. Teachers will be moved to greater effort and school officials will automatically set higher standards when they employ teachers. Our future citizens will emerge from the educational environment that we make for them and we owe it to posterity to give these pljable, plastic, non-responsible, innocent children the best that is within our power. The Tefft teachers visited at Mt. Ayr and Fair Oaks last Tuesday.

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent

Fight Insect Now With Plow Fall plowing Is the most universally effective way of controlling the insect pests that annually cause great losses to the grain firmer. It is much easier an<| cheaper to prevent an Insect outbreak in this manner than it is to stamp out the infestation once It Is fully developed. The Hessian fly, so destructive to wheat. Is one of the Insects that can hardly be eradicated once It is established in the crop. . Fall plowing is recommended because it breaks up the soil and destroys the grubs and pupae of many Insects by exposing them to the sun and air. Farmers’ bulletin 835, prepared by the bureau of entomology, tells how to control the most common and dangerous of grain farmers’ Insect enemies. It gives briefly the life histories, of the Hessian fly, army worm, cutworm, grasshoppers, whiti grubs, billbugs, corn-root aphis and wireworms, with authoritative data describing the characteristics of each pest and the best practical remedies for control. The bureau advises the •grain farmer to in the fall, if possible; to keep a supply of insecticides and a spraying outfit on hands to watch the crops carefully for an outbreak, and to report all outbreaks to the county agent, or direct to the bureau of entomology, United States department of agriculture.

Live Stock Association Meeting Members of the Live Stock Breeders’ association and others who are interested in live stock, met in th<> county agent’s office Saturday evening, Oct. 30C It- was a very enthus iastio and Interesting meeting and many important matters were discussed and voted upon. Report of the live stock show held Oct. 21, 22 and 23 was read by Secretary Lane and approved. All business pertaining to the completion of our last show was satisfactorily disposed of. The promulgation of a Jasper County Fair association was brought up and discussed.', Favorable comment was passed by all present and it was voted that we appoint two committees —one to investigate the project and the other, a legislative committee, to locate suitable men wha would be willing to head the organization. Our past experience has -proved that our old plan of* running our stock show has not been as satisfactory And successful as it should be. It was thought by all that a fair association would put all farming interests bn a fairer and more satisfactory basis, alleviating many of the hardships and embarrassments connected with the arrangements.for the show. It would also give all farmeris, as well as, business men, a chance' to exhibit anything they wished to on a* more equitable basts. On Nov. 13 there is tp be another meeting, at which time the different committees will report and further plans for the fair association will be formulated. All Interested in the livestock of our county are invited to attend and take active part in this newly formed project. County Agents’ Conference The County Agents’ conference of Indiana was held in the Agricultural hall in Lafayette Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 3, 4 and 5. All county agents of the state, as well as club leaders, were tn attend-

ance at this very important meeting of the year. Poultry Association Meeting The Jasper County Poultry association met in the Red Cross rooms in Rensselaer Friday evening, Oct. 29. The purpose of the meeting was to work out the detailed arrangements for the poultry show to be held in Rensselaer the first week in January. It was also voted that there be a corn show in connection with the poultry show. The different boys’ and girls’ clubs of the county will also take active part in this show. Prizes and cups will be awarded as premiums. It Is hoped that all interested in a show of thia nature wil begin to make preparations for it. Correction In Award of Stock Show In compiling the list of awards of the stock show there was a mistake made in the awards of the Big Type Poland China breed under the heading of Junior yearling sow. Third place was awarded to Charles Parks Instead of Sage Bros. We do not like to leave Mr. Parks’s name oft the list as he has some very fine individuals. Getting Ready for the International Preparations for the world’s greatest live stock exposition at Chicago * during the first week of December are now well under way. Each season this spectacle of animal life is given a new stage setting, involvinr the labor of hundreds of men tor several weeks and an expenditure of many thousands of dollars. Part of this is fiecessitated by essential convenience for man and beast; part goes to furnish the coloring that has given the exposition atmospheric brilliancy, intensified as each season rolls around. An enormous sum Is required for lighting effects, a featufe of the "International” that has always been abreast and much of the time in advance of such improvement as electrical Ingenuity develops. This year a number of scenic novelties have been Introduced, arrangement of Exhibits has been perfected and a more elaborate setting given the latest addition to this aggregation of spectacles —the grain and hay show, under the auspices cf the Chicago Board of Trade. When the gates are thrown open to the public Nov. 27, a few weeks hence, all this elaborate and expen-getting-ready program will insure the most successful International Live Stock exposition since 'the inauguration of that enterprise, which has been effective In promoting the welfare and progress of the live stock industry of all sections of North America.
