Harper Spring School Closes.
The closing exercises of the
Harper Springs school in District
78 just west of town were held on
Friday evening of last week and
was largely attended by relatives
of the pupils and others interested.
A platform had been arranged in
front of the school building and all
the seats arranged in the yard in
front of it which made it much
more pleasant for those present
thin if the exercises had been held
in the building, as only half of the
people there could have enjoyed
them.
The program consisted of dia
logues. playlets, recitations, songs
and an oratorical contest with
music interpersed by a string band.
Ea h pupil rendered their part well
and Alfred Duncan was awarded
the medal in the contest by the
judges. _

Agricultural Libraries for Rural Districts.
Every rural district and neigh
borhood should have an agricultur
al library, and weekly meetings
should be held, at which the books
should be read and the subjects
discussed by the men and listened
to by the children, and especially
the boys. The elementary text
books on agriculture should be pro
vided at first, and then other books
added from time to time. The ag
ricultural bulletins are easily ob
tainable by writing for them, and
could be added to the library.
Plant life is an interesting sub
ject to children, and by this plan,
they could be taught the element
ary principles of it. Many grown
men, engaged in farming would find
the subject interesting too. The
children know that the plants spring
from the seeds and grow, but they
do not know how the plant food is
obtained through the soil. air. sun
shine and heat. By learning these
things, they will begin to think and
study and watch and be interested
in plant growth. As plant growth
is really the foundation of agricul
ture, and scientific knowledge of
plant growth is the foundation of
scientific agriculture the import
ance of teaching the rising genera
tion these things is of the utmost
importance.
The subject of soils is likewise
interesting and important. If these
libraries were established in the
various communities, and some of
the men would take the matter in
hand and study the subjects close
ly and then lead the discussions on
them at weekly meetings, great
good would follow. However, it is
important to begin at the founda
tion, in order that the children may
get the full benefit. 1 am greatly
interested in this matter, and will
give all the assistance 1 can to get
ting these libraries started. These
libraries will hasten the day when
an elementary course would be
taught in our public schools which
is very necessary.

County Superintendent ot Schools.
The State Department of Edu
cation is strongly urging the need
j and importance of the county su
pervision plan of work for the
! schools of ali the counties of the
i state that have not yet adoptee
’county superintendency.
Supervisor of Rural Schools J j
L. Bond, who has recently beei
! assisting in a number of count\
I superintendency campaigns ove
' the state, in discussing the import
lance of county supervision said:
“The work of a superintendent
is of far-reaching importance to
the schools of any county. The
work of a county supertendent to a
i very great degree bears the same
relation to the schools of the coun- j
ty that the work of a city superin-1
tendent bears to the schools of
such town or city. No one would
qjestionfora moment the value
and im )ortance of efficient super-!
vision to the schools of any of our!
towns or cities. In like manner
there can be no question as to the!
far-reaching importance and value !
of efficient county supervision to
the schools of such county.
“Fifteen counties in the state
have already adopted the supervis
ion plan of work for their schools!
and the results in improved school ;
conditions in these superintended ■
counties have without exception
proved most -satisfactory. The ,
supertendents in these counties'
have carefully studied the needs1
and conditions of the schools and I
having found out at first hand the!
needs and conditions of the schools j
in their counties they have set for
themselves the task of meeting
these needs and improving the ex
i isting conditions and their efforts
1 have met with a large measure of
success.
“it is earnestly hoped and be- 1
lieved that many new' counties will :
adopt superintendency at the
school election this year."

fifty Years of Love.
It is our pleasure to reproduce
herewith a section of a love letter'
that has fallen into our hands; its'
publication violates no confidence.
The letter was written by a wo
man whose silvery hair and falter
ing steps belie the splendid youth
that dwells within her heart and
mind. Every reader of mature!
years will understand and value;
this letter. We trust that it will'
impress its truth upon the thoughts |
of many younger readers who may
have confused ideas concerning
the meaning of love that is real, of
love that is eteral. Here is the
letter;
"Is it n^t a beautiful thing to
look back on 50 years of love?
" That which wets in the dewey
dawn; the song of birds: the bloom
of violets; the day when we two
kissed and Eden was created anew.
"Tnat sweetened long years of
toil; that made the faded cheek of
'mother' fairest still of all t ie world
to the gray-haired husband lover;
through whose ministry hearts
never grow cold, nor hands too
hardened to be tender.
‘That which is still with us at
our eventide; in the shadows that;
lie in the valley: in the last bird
call to its mate; that sits beside us
at the hearthstone in the gloaming, j
when we talk of the children ‘awa’
and the'land of the leal' such a
little way beyond.
"Which will oe still with us when
I the 'lights are out;' when the last
good-night is spoken; when one of
I us must watch while the ether1
'sleeos.’
"Thank Gnd for the love that
was never ashamed: that was strong
and tender, and trim: steadfast in
sunshine and shad.'//: changeless
and sure through ad ete r.l’y" -,
