WHERE WILL IT END?
SCHOOL TEACHERS COMING
Vernonia citizens may think this
country has gone crazy over cross­
word puzzles, but it’s because they
haven't beard from abroad. We see
in a news dispatch that it has hit
Great Britain even harder than it
has the U.S.A., and that even Queen
Mary is a rabid croas-word fan. Well,
it's all right with us if British breth­
ren want to join with us in the
gratest pastime that has swept over
the nation in its history. And if the
League of Nations wants to offer
prizes to the champion cross-word
puzzle experts of the world, we're
for it. It’s a harmless pastime, and
•a long as it keeps one hunting thru
the dictionary it ought to be worth
something
from an educational
standpoint. Who can tell, either,
but that if all the nations in the
world get so deeply absorbed in the
puzzles as this country and Great
Britain they will forget all of their
bitterness toward each other and
lose all desire for war.
Teachers’ Institute in Vernonia
this Saturday. County Superintend­
ent Kias Perry will lecture and be

bethnut, of the Oregon State Nor­

Demonstration.
Visiting teachers

Vernonia City has twenty teachen,
