Amendment
For the benefit of the rural schools,
which merely comply with law, and to
raise the standard of school work, In
rural districts and to give the pupils,
in said districts, an equal advantage
with other pupils, we recommend that
the compulsory law be extended from
three months to five or more months.
(The following were received too
late for publication last veek.)
School closed on Tuesday evening
to allow the teachers to attend the
county institute at Heppner. Next
Monday it will open again. The
school law provides that all teachers
must attend so there is no two ways a
bout it, all teachers must go How
ever it is a very wise idea that such
provisions are made as much better
resulte are obtainable when all must be
present. When it is noticed that such
men as Supt. Ackermen ' and many
others from the leading Institutions In
the atate ire there,' then it Is quite
evident that a teacher can get suffici
ent number of nev Ideas and enough
new lntpiration to more than counter
balance a few days tost, .. These In
stitutes serve as a school for the teach
er and are very beneficial.
Examinations were held the first
two days of the week, a report of the
result will be given In next weeks issue.
Several new pupils have entered
school and the enrollment is now the
largest it has ever been.
The debate Friday afternoon was
quite warmly contested. The quest-
Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar the
original laxative cough syrup acts as a

the best for children. It is good for
