The next teacher's examination will be held March 15th and 16th. All teachers who expect to ask for reissue should read the new rules on “Certification” which were sent to the county superintendent January, 1. 1912. Rockville Notes The school spirit is excellent, both on part of patrons and school. The Rockville high school has two boys and one girl; a remarkable ratio in favor of the boys. The high school and intermediate rooms joined in a brief but interest ing Lincoln Day program. Also the day had a message for the wee tots of the primary shrough their teacher. Plans are maturing for a better supply of song books and an increas ing interest in singing. The day is not ..properly begun without music. Also for closing the day. Ever try it Our neighboring town, Boelus. is to be congratulated on the comple tion and dedication of their splendid new school building. He who builds last builds best. Its now Rockvile's turn. The true test of the successful teach er is found in her ability to manage the abnormal pupils. It is relativly easy to teach bright, well disposed pupils the main concern is to keep out of their way. But it is the dull the ill-disposed, the abnormal pupils that try out the teacher. They are the ones that most need th'ir pa tience, tact,sympathy, herbestservice in every way. It’s a severe test but a j true one. Wonder if Miss or Mr. Whack-em-in the-head, box-em-ears and pinch-em have secured positions in the schools of Sherman county. Too bad if they have. Additional Locals The editor's family has been in a sea of turmoil the past ten midst days, at one and the same time having Clarence Sweetland wiring the home for electricity, Geo. Stork painting things up generally, Art Gilbert and Frank Martin doing papering and carpenters doing odd jobs of work about the house. It will be a case of working father later for the rhino. Our young friend. O. P. Gilmore of Austin,is and has been nursing a bad hand the past two weeks. He was grinding a sickle when a piece of the emery wheel broke ofT falling into the casting which was broken by the contact, a piece striking him on one hand cutting a fearful gash of several inches’ length between the index and second finger back to the wrist. It will be som time before he will be able to use that member. The Unity Club entertained the teachers of our city schools at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Outhouse last Thursday afternoon in memory of Washington’s birthday, the program for the afternoon, the decorations and all being in perfect keeping with the day. A choice lun cheon was also provided and a most enjoyable time was had. We learn that Pat Youngquist was here from his South Dakota home last week, having been visiting his parents and friends at Aurora and coming up here for a day on his way home to visit his sisters, Mrs. F. E Kennedy and Mrs. D. L. Jacoby, but because he failed to call and pay his respects to this office, we have' de cided not to mention his being here. There, now. We received a pleasant call last Saturday from our jolly friend, Paul Heizner of Rockville, who had been down to Omaha taking in the auto show. While there, Paul ran across the following bunch oi Sherman county lovers of the horseless carriage who were also in attendance: Will Criss, Will Schumann,W. G. Odendahl and Pete Ogle of Loup City, and E. Dwehus, Henry Bushhausen, W. R. Henklns and Chris Sorensen of Rock ville. Fine School Program The entertainment given at the opera house last Friday evening by the 6 th and 7th grades of our city schools, under direction of Miss Mc Gavarn, teacher, received the com pliment of a crowded house, stand ing room all being taken and perhaps an hundred were unable to get into the hall and were obliged to return home. The excercises were all of the very best, every one being at home in his or her part and doing their part in perfect ease and with the best grace. When we look back to boyhood days and remember the work it took to make up a school progam and the backwardness of the average participant,and then compare it with the readiness of the boy and girl today to accept and handle any as signment given them, we can but wonder at the change and congrat ulate the boys and girls of today over the splendid change for the bet ter. As we have said the entire program was of the best and carried out in the best manner and both teach er and pupils are to be congratulated ever the result. The receipts were $50.10, out of which expenses to the amount of $15.69 were taken and the balance goes toward purchasing a globe ana wall maps for these grades. T. N. Reed Dies At Brock, Ind. He Had Been Failing for Some Time Word was received here Tuesday evening that our most estimable town man and old time merchant. T. M. Reed, had died at 3:150 that afternoon at Brock.
