“No County Aetter or More Favorably Known in Education.”

The state bureau of statistics, in its fourteenth biennial report now being circulated, is strong in its praise of the Montgomery county schools. The part which has to do with the schools in this county is as follows: ‘“Perhaps no county in the union is better or more favorably known in the field of education than Montgomery county,” says the report. “First, from the fact that it is the home of Caleb Mills, the founder of the great public school system of the state, and secondly, on account of her splendid consolidated schools. According to school statistics, Montgomery county ranks first of all counties in the nation as to the per cent of her area which is served by consolidation. During the school years of 1911 and 1912, seventy-six school wagons and eight private conveyances were employed to transport 2,200 rural pupils to school daily. Within the last three years state superintendents of public instruction from nineteen different states, many normal presidents and county superintendents have visited this county for the purpose of studying her system of consolidation which serves some seventysix per cent of all rural pupils. Despite the wonderful progress and advancement that has been made along this line county superintendent Otis E. Hall, and other local educators of the county feel that her work is only begun, and she is still striving toward a more perfect realization of her ideal.”

Man’s The value of a man True to a community in Value. which he lives can

not be measured by

the things that he possesses; but rather those things indicate the value the community has been to him. The true worth of a man should be measured by the influence for good which he has set in motion and by his acts for the betterment of his community’, rather than by the amount, cash value, of real estate and personal property he may possess. —Ex.

If your business doesn’t go nnd ssles are mighty low nnd things begin to look a trifle bad; while things that looked . “immense” now look like “thirty cents,” just try the stout of putting in nn nd. Yon will find that it will pay, you will see it every day, and you will admit it was the proper caper — so get a pad and chalk, work out a line of talk and put an advertisement in the paper. Put it to ’em good and hard, whether selling gems or lard, and try to hit ’em plump between the eyes; make your copy good and strong and you’ll see 'fore very long that it really pays for you to advertise.

H. A. Kesler attended baccalaureate at Romney Sunday night.

An Ideal Sunday Newspaper.

Recent issues of the Sunday Record-Herald remind one that Chicago may fairly lay claim to producing the best newspapers in the world, not excepting those of New York. The Sunday RecordHerald, in foreign news alone, has its own special cable service in addition to those of the New York Herald, World, Journal of Commerce and Associated Press. This is a fair example of the completeness of the paper in every department. Aside from the regular news features, there is something in the Sunday Record-Herald for every member of the family. The sporting pages, both daily and Sunday, give the latest authentic news in every line of spurt. The woman’s section is filled with illustrated articles on the newest wrinkles in fashion and domestic science. “The People’s Institute of Domestic Economy,” tilling a whole page every Sunday, is the newest and best household department in any paper. Dame Curtsey’s “Novelties in Entertainment” is a valued feature. The dramatic and musical pages, written by James O’Donnell Bennett and Felix Borowski, are admittedly without their equal in the West. The array of splendid special articles by skilled writers finely illustrated, also is typical of the high literary quality of the Record-Herald, In the way of humor there is the comic colored supplement for children, besides S. E. Kiser’s delightful “Alternating Currents” for everybody. But the thing that lifts the Sunday Record-Herald most emphatically above all its rivals is its magazine section—a real magazine, full of stories and articles by the most famous writers of our day, illustrated by celebrated artists. Its recent $10,000 prize contest has attracted to its pages the work of the best short story writers in our language. No wonder the Record-Herald is regarded as the ideal Sunday newspaper!

There is no trouble about the matinee hat in Turkey, and in that happy country the cry “Sit down please!” is never beard from the back rows in a theatre. As a matter of fact no one sits down at the play at all. The first three rows of the audience lie in a reclining position; the next three rows kneel, and remain in that attitude throughout the piece; everyone else stands op. Another quaint point about the theatre in Turkey is that a notice appears on the walls of the building to the effect that “It is strictly forbidden to laugh, for it is a tragedy that is being performed.”

Treating of the county’s standing in public affairs, the report further says: “No careful observer or student of public affairs in Indiana can fail to note that Montgomery county is still deserving of the high rank assigned to her in the years now recorded in history. This county is in the heart of the richest agricultural region of the state, less than forty miles from the state capital, less than 140 miles from Chicago, crossed by the Big Four, Mouon, Vandalia, Central Indiana and the Toledo-St. Louis railroads, and is connected with Indianapolis by two electric lines.

“Aside from being a great agricultural and stock raising center, the county has an inexhaustible supply of shale, which is manufactured into paving and fancy brick. There are also other factories in the county to the number of fifteen which give employment to more than 1,500 persons. “Crawfordsville is the county seat, is a growing little city of 10,000 population, having made a gain of forty per cent since the 1900 census. It is the home of the late Gen. Lew Wallace, Maurice Thompson and the site of Wabash College.”

The preacher has a hard time. If his hair is gray, he is old. If he is a young man, he hasu’t had experience. If he has ten children, he has too many. If he has none, he should have, and isn’t setting a good example. If his wife sings in the choir, she is presuming. If she doesn’t she isn’t interested in her husband’s work. If a preacher reads from notes, he is a bore. It he speaks extemporaneously he isn’t deep enough. If lie stays at home in his study, he doesn’t mix enough with his people. If he is seen around on the streets, he ought to be at home getting up a good sermon. If he calls on some very poor family, he is playing on the grand stand. If he calls at the home of the rich, be is an aristocrat. Whatever he does, some one could have told him how to do better. He has a fine time liv-
