Mr. Cory returned Monday, Mrs. Cory and little son remaining to spend the week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Hines. There is some complaint from the country people as well as from the town people living near the lake and channel because of the slowness with which the excess water in the lake is being let off. Would it not be the proper thing to have gates in the dam which the town built last year so as to provide for just such conditions as now prevail? When Dave Harrington of Wakarusa, goes a fishing with his friend Fred Hinderer, he never has any excuses to offer for poor luck or any of the thousand and one stock apologies the bum fisherman has to make, for Dave always gets the fish. Monday was one of his most successful days on Wawasee and his rewards were in full keeping with his merit as a fisher and a man.

Activities at Wawasee. The heavy iceon Lake Wawasee caused much damage to the improved frontages at different places on both north and south banks. Where the pressure was greatest large trees and high embankments were pushed over and other changes made in the appearance of the shore line. For the most part the damage will be repaired and new concrete breakwaters built to replace the earthen banks. George Schick’s steam dredge is now at work at Kale Island making improvements which will add to the general attractiveness of the lake. Similar improvem6nts will be made at Willbw Grove, Pickwick and Morrison’s Island. It is said |hat Mr. Ellwood George contemplates extensive improvements with the dredge on his place at the west end of the lake better known as the Wentworth place. Altogether the season of 1912 promises to be one of unusual activity at Lake Wawasee.

School Notes. Ford Dewart of Milford, visited the high school Tuesday. Miss Books visited the school Tuesday with Miss Delcamp, the drawing teacher. The Milford Sophomores were entertained by our Sophomores Saturday evening in the school building, The botany class is becoming somewhat »alarmed over the fact that the spring flowers have not yet appeared and they fear their collections will not be as large as they were in former years. The Juniors have finished their Cicero and are taking two English lessons a day. The Seniors made about six dollars from the entertainment given by Mr. Burderfer on last Thursday evening. District Schools Have Closed. The district schools of Turkey Creek township finished the yearly term Friday sth inst. Some of the teachers will attend normal schools to prepare themselves for more efficient teaching in the ensuing years. This thorough preparation for the great work of the schoolroom is the one silent argument to warrant the people to tax themselves sot the support of the schools. It is noted with some pleasure that the people 6 are beginning to realize once more the need of the district school and its own particular sphere of usefulness as against the combined schools. There is much to be said in favor of the district school and its : possibilities as the greatest possible ; factor in the social life of the community.
