State Supt Churchill has pre
pared "A suggested -Coarse -in
Bible Study" for the use of pu
pils outside of school However
pupils of the high schools, who
complete the course and take ths
examinations prepared by the
State Superintendent will re
ceive credit toward graduation.
The amount of credit which may
be so earned has cot been an
nounced. In the introduction
Mr. Churchill says; "A know
ledge of the Bible is an essential
element in a good education
and though we may not be
interested in it as a manual of
devotion, he should be familiar,
with It as a literature and a.
history?' The course is wholly
elective. ' Copies of the outline
may be obtained upon application,

Prof. Sykes of the Agricultur
al College has been in the county
a few days, consulting with the
county court in regard to the
destruction of the rabbits which
have been destroying so much
grain, alfalfa, garden, produce,
and range. He suggests that
the problem be attacked by the
classes in biology in 'our high
school Dr. Hodge of the State
University, last year made a
similiar suggestion. Here is an
opportunity for our high school
students to solve a vital problem,
at first hand. .

ning a Hallowe'en Frolic in the
basement of the church. Fa
day evening, October 29. There
will- be orchestra music during
the evening. Also will be seen
the famous Black Cat of the Un
known Land, while . witches,
ghosts and such diaphanous crea
tures will hover around and make
life miserable for the unwary.
Tben, too, there will be the old
oaken bucket filled with ambro
sia over which the ' fearful
may regain their composure; or
they may settle their, timidity
with delicious pumpkins done in
the form of round flat things
thickly coat with snow. Gladly
will the younger generation grab
for the seed that assumes a beau
tiful whitenese when chased by
the red demons J.mho wouldn't),
and joyously will they nibble of
the sweets of the land. Dorcas
will have a garment for each
