EDUCATIONAL NOTES
Eighth Grade Examinations will be
held over the county on Thursday and
Friday of this week. Over COO seventh
and eighth grade students will write
on these examinations.
Reports are coming in fast on teach
ers contracted for the coming year.
A large majority are staying in their
same location. Salaries have been
raised in most instances. There is a
tendency toward raising teachers sal
aries in the county as well as over the
state. The lowest salary reported, to
date, in Holt county is $40.
I find, that agents are traveling thru
the county visiting schools and school
boards for various purposes. Some
of these agents have been representing
that they were sent out by me or as
having goods that are highly recom
mended from this office. Any one
representing themselves as having my
recommendation is doing so wrongful
ly unless I send you a personal letter
to this effect. I make it a point not
to give any general recommendations
for any articles or subscriptions re
gardless of how good they may be. It
is not safe to recommend even the
best materials generally since most
salesmen resort to trickery in order
to sell their materials. Anyone repre
sent ipg themselves as going out with
my sanction is being dishonest. Make a
careful examination of anything that
an agent has, before you buy. There
are a number of things that the school
districts need but in many cases the
districts find that they have spent
their money for things that are of
little value because some high-powered
salesman has unscrupulously given
them a good salestalk. 1 have now
had warning that some persons are
soliciting the county for advertising
for book covers which the county sup
erintendent will be asked to distribute
to the schools. I cannot tell you what
to buy nor can I protect you against
unscrupulous salesmen. Be very sure
that the material would be of some
value to your school before you spend
the money for it.

ST. MARY’S ACADEMY
NOTES
Vocation Week
Vocation week at St. Mary’s, March
21 to 28, proved to be a very interest
ing affair. The bulletin board and the
class rooms were decorated with ap
propriate posters featuring the differ
ent walks in life, from family life,
business, professions, up to the ideal
istic life of a priest or a religious.
The posters were real works of art
and deserve special praise.
At the entrance to the Academy, red
arrows, pasted along the walls, pointed
out the way to a well-filled book rack
where information could, be obtained.
Each day had its special features
and programs, one of which, was a
playlet presented by the Junior Class
and entiled “The Better Part.’’ It was
written specially for the occasion by
one of the Sisters and received much
'applause.
Another program, given by the
Senior Class, introduced to the aud
ience the members after several years
of experience, returning to their Alma
Mater, to advise the students in their
choice of a vocation.
Rev. Eugene Gallagher spoke to the
students on the qualities and ideals
necessary for the sacred ministry of
the priesthood. Margaret Tyler, a
successful kindergarten teacher held,
up the joys and consolations to be
found in molding the innocent hearts
of children to all that is noble and
good.
Teresa Thiele, as Mrs. Johnson, de
picted ideal family life. Robert Mc
Carthy, a successful lawyer, explained
that to be an expert lawyer as he had
learned by experience, one needed
much more than the "gift of gab,”—
in fact, that the best lawyers are
rather chary of their words.
Margaret Ryan showed forth the
splendid opportunities for the stenog
rapher. Rita Reardon a graduate
nurse from St. Catherine’s Hospital,
Omaha, brought out the many ways
offered a nurse to aid and benefit
society and its afflicted members, and
Mona Melvin, a successful designer
from the Art School of Designing,
under Parsons, contended that there
'is no reason why women should not
surpass men in this art, although the
stronger sex are' now in the ascend
ency.
Mary Jo Finley, of the staff of
Collier’s magazine, tendered a hearty
invitation to journalism, but warned
that many disappointments and humil
iations were bound to be encountered
before reaching an established footing.
Adris Fairbanks gave an excellent
rendition of “Flowering Trees,” a call
to follow Christ in the more perfect
way, anil Claude Callen, as a Christian
Brother, pointed out the good work
that could be done as a member of his
Order in teaching, mechanics, etc.
Mariellen Gillespie, now Sister Mary
[Cera, of Stella Niagara, N. Y., ex
tolled the advantages and happiness
of the life of a nun.
Dr. Robert Biglin of the Mayo Clinic,
spoke at some length on the opportun
ities awaiting those who are willing to
forge ahead and become one of the
most skillful among physicians.
We were unfortunate in having to
forego a talk on dietetics by Mary
Lois Hammond, of the John Hopkins
hospital. Illness prevented her being
w'ith us.
The acme of interest was reached in
the final program. St. Mary’s senior
orchestra gave the indtroduction, rend
ering beautifully, ‘“Over The Waves,"
“Flag of Truce,” and “Falling Leaves.”
Then followed a heart to heart talk
by Rev. Father Leahy in which he
explained the tw'o vocations in life—
the natural and the supernatural. One
thing he stressed as absolutely neces
sary in both paths, quoting the great
St. Paul, “This is the will of God,—
your sanctification.” In other words,
that no matter in what pathway our
lives may be spent, we must so live
and labor as to be found fit to enter
and dwell fovever in the realm of the
King of Kings.
We are now trying to settle down to
work after an Easter holiday.
