SUMMER TERM-
OF TWELVE WEEK8
Beginning June 12th
Telephone No. 20. MURRAY
' The Murray public schools have
certainly just completed one of the
mot successful terms in the history
of all school work ;n this littij city.
On October 29, 1913 they were fully
appioved by the Stite Superintendent
vv.d with the excellent work of the
staff of teachers siv.ee that date only
meant success from the start to the
closo of the schools last week.
Under the guidance of Miss Thorpe,
a3 principal; Miss Livingston, as as
sistant principal. ind Miss. Sans and
Miss O'Donnell in the lower grades,
oacked up by the co-operation of the
school hoard and the patrons of the
dbtvict all grades have been brought
up to a standard par excellence.
The harmony between patrons and
school could be no better. The deep
interest and the vim and enthusiasm
of the pupils in their studies and daily
work has been brought about by sec
rets known only to the teaching fra
ternity.
The unsightly, uneven school ground
has been covered by an even mat of
white clover and beautiful flower pots.
At a mere suggestion from Miss
Thorpe, like a swarm of Brownies,
with rakes, hoes and shovels the chil
dren transformed, as by magic, this
junk field into a piece of beautiful
landscape gardening.
The proficiency with which each
grade finished their work with the
highest standard shows a thorough
ness in each foundation step. The
most gratifying news was received by
the school board and teachers of the
high school on October 29th, 1915
when the following notice was receiv
ed from the State Superintendent:
"You are hereby notified that the Mur
ray High School is approved under
the free high school law as a three
year high school of the number one
class. Pupils who complete the work
in this school will be entitled to ad
mission to the high grades in any ap
proved school." According to the
views of the State Superintendent the
size of the district and the number of
children will not permit of an accred
ited twelfth grade as Murray. A
strong eleventh grade school under j
his advice is far better than a weak
twelfth grade. These grades as now
taught can be kept up to the highest
standard and will admit our students
into any high school in the state to
complete the high school course, and
will incur no hardships on the tax
payers of the district.
The district is indeed fortunate in
being able to retain the present faculty
for the coming year. They are famil
iar with the individual needs of each
student, and the results anticipated
for next year are the highest.
Now It's the Cultivator and
Two-Row Machine Season!
We have them in the John Deere and Rockland Two
row, and the Jenny Lynde, New Departure, John
Deere and the Old Reliable Badger cultivators, which
you can buy now at the same old price, all of which
machinery has advanced 10 per cent. This price ap
plies only to what we have on hand. Place your or
ders early and save ten per cent or more.

in regular session at the Puis & Gan
semer hall last evening for the pur
pose iof transacting any and all busi
ness that might come before the meet
ing. There was a very good attend
ance and all were up in arms for any
and everything that was for the bet
terment of Murray and surrounding
country. The most important ques
tion taken up was more sidewalks for
Murray, and is was unanimously de
cidedly that immediate steps be taken
for the laying of new walks leading
from town clear to the school house
The property owners, commercial club
and the school board will work in har
mony to this end and before long the
citizens will have the pleasure of see
ing new walks all the way to tne
school building. Let the good work
move along.

tieth birthday anniversary last Sun

ure to him as well as a number of

ved by the doctor. Mrs. Brendel had
planned the occasion for a surprise for
the doctor, but in some manner this
portion of the program failed and the
doctor got on to what was going "to
be did" but this was the only section of
the well laid program that was a fail
ure. Mrs. Brendel had prepared an
excellent dinner for the guests, and to
be sure it is not necessary for us to
state that it was greatly enjoyed by
all those in attendance. Those present
were Dr. and Mrs. B. F. Brendel,
Mr. and Mis. Jeff Brendel. Mr. and
