SCHOOL NOTI3S.
Tho Stato Teacher anHoclation will
bo bold at Lincoln from Ducembor 20
to 20, and a nuinlir of tlio city loach
ors will probably attend.
Tho avorntro uttcndnrica for tho drat
throe uionthu of this .school year has
boon Dearly 90 por cont,which la based
upou tbo membership, tho highest per
oent for any three consecutive nioDths
in years.
There have been 149 pupils, or
enough to fill three school rooms, more
in attendance overy day on tho average
dur'njr tho three school months juBt
closed than during tho corresponding
throe months of lust year.
Tho board of education at their last
meeting decided that tho vacation at
tho holidays should commence with
Saturday, December "3, and close upon
Monday, 'January 1, tho schools open
ing on Tuesday morning, January 2.
Tho teacher's rogistors for the last
four yoare have jut been ordered
bound, ono volumo for each year, mak
ing a com pleto and permanent record
of tho work and attendance of every
pupil in tho city for that year. As
these records will be bound each year
In tho futurp, in a few years tho grad
uatcs can secure a complete history
of their school life from the "C" class
in the first primary to the Senior class
in the High school, showing every day
they were present or absent, every
time they wore tardy, overy month's
standing they ever received in every
study in all grades, and their teachers
for ouch year. At present those rec
ords run back to Soptomber, 1803.
Tho exorcises given In most of tho
rooms just prior to Thanksgiving were
largely attonded, but the lack of ac
commodations for visitors in the school
rooms has caused the superintendent
to suggest to the school board tho ad
visability of permitting the pupils in
the grades to use tho auditorium of
the now High school building, when
completed, in the evening for such
entertainments as they wish their
parents to attend. Tho plan which
tho board discussed last Monday even
ing wa9 to have tho primary rooms
combine to give an entertainment for
their parents ono evening, tho gram
mar grades another and the High
school another, these exorcises to be
given about eight weeks apart. By
this plan the fathers as well as the
mothers could have an opportunity of
attending, which would bo a source of
pleasure to them and of encourage
ment to both teachors and pupils
These entertainmonts would be with
out any charge of admission, only the
parents of pupils in the rooms taking
part, however, being invited each
night to avoid overcrowding. The
taking part in debates, dialogues, plays
and general literary exercises de
velops tho self-reliance of the pupil
and is a legitimate part of school work.
It serves to break the monotony of
their regular work, and has a tendency
to keep some in school who might
Otherwise drop out. It can be made a
spur to better efforts in other lines by
refusing to permit any pupil to take
part in any of the exercises whose
work does not come up to a satisfactory
standard. This will be tho rule in the
schools next year.

MYNARD NOTES.
M. O. Metzer marketed a car of stock
in South Omaha this week.
Albert, son of Mr. Mattie Wiles,
was pleasantly surprised by the young
people of this neighborhood last Fri
day evening.
Our school is crowded to its utmost
capacity, two of the scholars having
to take their seats at the teacher's
desk.
J. M. Kaiser, our hustling imple
ment dealer, sold two corn-shellers
within a week. There will be plenty
shelling for all of them to do.
William Stokes, from Eight Mile
Grove, has moved into Silas Long's
bouse.
Most south-bound trains through
Mynard are well loaded with tramps,
who are seeking a warmer climate.
One of our citizens has struck upon
a most successful method of keeping
tramps away from bis house. Near
the entrance to his home be has piled
some cord wood, and conveniently near
to the wood, and in plain view he has
a saw and buck placed. He says be
has not been bothered with any
tramps since he placed them there.
It takes but a minute to overcome
tickling in the throat and to stop a
cough by the use of One Minute Cough
Cure. This remedy quickly cures all
forms of throat and lung troubles.
Harmless and pleasant to take. It
prevents comsumption. A famous
specific for grip and its after-effects.

The Economic League.
In this age of great prngres?, when
cbangos in our industrial, political and
social systems aro revolutionary in
their 'development, when invention
and other forces are changing th
manner and methods of doing the
world's work, when trusts, combines
and monopolies are assuming such vas
proportions, all should feel the need of
such information on the live practical
questions as ahull enab'e them to act
wiaely in the discharge of their im
portant dutiea as citizens. The Uni
verdty association of Chlcigo is or
ganizing the Economic league, with
centers all over the country, for the
purpose of giving all an opportunity
to gain correct and unbiasod in forma
tion on the great economic and social
questions.
The University association has been
doing lines of university extension
work for the past four years, securing
as instructors tho very best talen
from tho leading colleges and univer
sities of this couutry and Europe
Courses of instruction have already
been given in universal history, uni
versal literature, etc., to nearly 110,
000 members, representing over 5,000
classes. The course in political econ
omy, political science and sociology i
under the Immediate supervision of
Prof. Richard T. Ely, Pb. D , LL. D
director of the school of economics in
the University of Wisconsin, assisted
by a large number of recoenized spe
clalists of this countrv and Europe A
center is being formed in Plattsmouth
for the study of this course. It covers
the live practical questions of the day
and should be taken by every person
interested in good citizenship. The
plan is to furnish a systematic course
of printed lectures for daily reading
lessons. The class then meets once a
week and reviews and discusses the
leseons they have read. In addition
there will be a lecture course on prac
tical questions by the very best local
talent that can be secured.
In short the p'an is to bring univer
sityfinstruction within the reach of all
that they may have the benefits of the
results of the profound study and in
vestigation of the trained specialists
of the world and thus prepare them
for the highest idoal of American cit
izenship.

There is a holiday air about the De
cember issue of Table Talk, and such
a healthful, happy and helpful one that
such articles as Miss Cornelia C. Bed
ford's Christmas Dinners, and her
economical directions for serving the
nemus for December, are valuable to
the housekeeper vho is in search of
new and attractive dishes for her
choicest dinner of the year. The
table decorations given are helpful in
her management of the feast. For the
home-seekers who want the latest
ideas to make bright the closing days
of the old yoar they will find in the
article entitled the "Great Festival of
Christmas," much that will interest
them, and also in the department de
voted to games, entertainments, etc.
An article of esp cial v.ilue to all up-
to-date housekeepers is entitled the
Etiquette of Serving a Table," by
Mrs. Burton Kingsland of New York,
who is an authority. Miss Loretta's
Chafing Dish is an article that will
interest housekeepers. "Table Talk"
is just what every woman wants every
day. It teaches exhaustively the art
of good cooking, of wise and econo
mical living. Our readers can obtain
a free sample copy of this magazine
by sending their name and address to
