Board Member« From 25 Districts Hold Banquet IKHM NIK! issali! This year has added umbrellas and raincoats to the necessities of life. A county school board convention was held at Hotel Moro the evening of May 2nd for the purpose of dis cussing county educational problems. About 70 members, representing 25 school districts, attending the meet ing. Among the various topics discuss ed was the date for starting school in the fall and school holidays. It was desired that these dates be as near the same over the county as possible and that September 7th would comply with the wish of the majority. The county nurse, Miss Grace Millgate, and Miss Grace Holmes, of the Oregon tuberculosis association, s oke on the health of the child and the probability of securing a health nurse for the county, The idea of having a permanent nurse for Gil- liam and Sherman counties, «om- bined, was discussed and seemed to be the favored plan. The week-day religious school was brought up for discussion. After the meeting a co limit tee was ap pointed to determine the feasibility of the plan and work out details with the view of establishing such schools in the county. Rev. Feenstra, Rev. Hanson and Mr. Johnson were ap pointed on this committee. The status of the normal loan fund was discussed briefly. During the discussion it was brought out that records of the county superin tendent office show that salaries of teachers of Sherman county have in-, creased over last year. This increase is mainly in rural schools and lower grades. J. Minor Booth, county auditor of school district books, gave an in structive talk about the cost of au diting school district books and methods of keeping school clerk’s books. A piano solo by Laura Urquhart and a violin solo by Miss Dorothy Perkins were pleasing features of the evening program. The class in domestic science Moro high school, under direction of Miss McPherson, served lunch, after which a rising vote of thanks was tendered the claa« by those present for the courtesy extended. ’ There ia one really international word today.

The five fairs are each reported to be an un qualified success, with an unusual quality and increased number of ex hibits and a more intensive interest taken in the local fairs by Loth pu pils and parents. Booth and contesting divisions were judged on quality, quantic, variety and general effect. Kent was awarded first for the division and Wasco second. Industrial club work was well represented, there be ing 123 exhibits of sewing alone and several excellent exhibits of live stock and poultry. Each local fair closed with a declamatory contest in the evening at which pupils keenly contested for honors. Those receiving highest place in the declamatory contests, as Weil a_s tko.se who received places in the local field meet try-outs, will contest at the county field meet and declamatory contest to be held at Moro within the next two weeks.

ETIQUETTE UY 17 HY do you not write a hand- W book of etiquette?" Sir Phineas Plgee asked me last evening as I was dining with him at bis lodging place. The question flattered me coming as it did from such a discriminating and tal ented writer, and. besides, there wss upon me the urge of many experiences. 1 recognized at once the need of such s work though 1 was uncertsln ss to the demand. Only that morning as I was strolling tn s leisurely and unobtruaive way to my office, I had been pushed into the mud by a group of frizzled headed young women who occupied the whole breadth of sidewalk as they sloshed giggling down the street. When I uf1 tered an involuntary word of proteat, they gave me an insolent look. A young boob, whose name I did not know, accosted me as "Tommy” as Is rushed by me—a salutation not whoHj conventional and one which I have been wont to reserve for acquaintances of a somewhat more intimate charac ter. Being of a logical turn of mind, 1 began at once to organize my material, to select specific illustrations, snd to decide upon the topics to be discussed I should of course have to aay seine thing upon the uae of the telephone In social intercourse, of the increasing habit of amoking in the presence of la dies—or gentlemen—of the propei lighting of dance halls, of the ellminat Ing or ignoring of the chaperon.
