wrote to all of the teachers in the
county asking for school news and in
this issue of the paper will be found
the mo:;t interesting notes yet printed
This is an important part of the coun
ty school work, but is something that
cannot be done by the superintendent
alone. Some of the teachers always
give bits of school news when writing
in but others seem to have thought
that their schools had no news worth
reporting. However, since a special
request has been made to the teachers
the response has been all that could
be desired.
In some cae the pupils have been
permitted to send in the notes. This
is a good plan if the pupils have learn
ed their English well and will ask the
teacher to censor and correct the notes
before they are sent in.
The Standardization pennants have

Shinn and Miss Clark to Juntuia, was
a pleasant revelation to them. The
Juntura people have developed one of
the best small town schools in the
county during the past year. The
teachers, Miss George Anna Hodgson
and Miss Mary Fikan are both splen
didly prepared teachers and are con
ducting a school that would be a pride
of any town. The people in Juntura
are evidently back ot every movement
that is for the betterment of school
conditions and have equipped well the
splendid new building. Last week a
Parent-Teacher association was or
ganized and also an Industrial Club.

It is said that the sword of Damocles

tyrant with but a single thread.
Every man, woman and child ought
to think well of the lesson taught by
this example.
The fire demon is the sword of de
duction that ever hangs above the
heads of the people. If you knew that
by the mere snipping of a thread all
that you had saved would be wiped
out, wouldn't you ever be on the alert
to see that the thread was not snip,
