A. The program was an international one with many nations represented. All numbers were good and the audience which was large was also enthusiastic and generous with applause. The pro gram was as follows: fan dance, Elvira Jenkins and Imogene Wil son representing Japan; Hawaiian number, Mr. Brown, Mr. Macomber, Buster Rands, Ray Barlow and Mr. Mstrschat; Holland, Mrs. Titus and Miss Shellenberger; a duet, Italy, was represented by Mr. Klitz with his accordian, playing three pieces to the delight of the crowd, but when the tune of Captain Jinks was given many a person in the audi ence began to shake a "Methodist foot."

The time for election of teachers is soon at hand and parents are awaiting the decisions of the board with fear and trembling. Many would like to see some of the old teachers retained but the concensus of opinion seems to be that some of the positions might be filled more satisfactorily. Electing a teacher is more or less of a gamble, for of ten one who comes with the best of recommendations proves to be med iocre. If she is successful in her work and is an asset to the com munity she should be retained; if not there should be no hesitancy about finding another, for with three normal schools turning out teachers by the hundreds there is plenty of material.
