A friend of the Journal informs us
that in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
of bust > -nday tiiere was a statement
Uiat lends color to the rumor that
Major Blunt, who lost his life on the
sinking Titanic, shot two men who
were attempting to take places in tho
life boats contrary to tbe orders of
the ship officers. The statement is
not wholly specific and definate. but
aame rumor lias it that the two men
who were shot were Emil Brandis
tie Omaha merchant, and his travel
ing companion, a man named Harris,
who is a big theatrical manager. The
story is that they were attempting
to displace some women who were
getting into the life boats when
Major Blunt executed tie orders of
Captain Smith bv shooting. Tbe
fact that the funeral of Mr. Brandis
is to be a <juiet one lends color to the
report Ofd Journal.

COUNTY SCHOOL
NOTES
From the Superintend
ent’s office
The second eighth grade examina
tion will be held May 9th and 10th.
No pupil should be admitted to this
final examination who has not com
pleted the full work as outlined by
the course of study in the subject
which they expect to write.
A large percent of the pupils who
took the March examinations failed,
most of the failures, however, receiv
ed some good standings.
We find the pupils weak in the fol
lowing points which should receive
constant and careful attention: punc
tuation. capitoi letters, penmanship,
composition paragraphing, spelling,
orderly arrangement and neatness.
We trust that parents realize that
the eighth grade work is of far too
great importance to permit tire pass
ing over it without a fair understand
ing of the branches It covers. It is
impossible for your child to do the
work in the high school unless they
have a fair knowledge of the com
mon branches. It is far better to re
main two or even three years in the
eighth grade than to be permitted to
go into the high aghool a weakling,
and consequently sure to meet with
discouragement and obstacles, not
only during your high school course,
but during your entire course in life.
Parents should be in no great hurry
to get their children started in the
high school. Algebra and Latin are
of very little use to the average per
son. They don't help much when
the real struggle comes. Build up
your rural school, don't be afraid of a
little higher school tax. Better put
a little more money into the home
district school than to pay the ex
pense of keeping your child in college
or high school. Probably 50 per cent
of the cases of failure was caused by
irregular attendance since the child]
first entered school. I
In order that thajjpchild may pass
the eighth grade examination lie must
do thorough work in even grade. To
do this the child must be regular in
attendance during his entire school
course.
The eighth grade work means sev
enty-two months, not five or six
montlis each year for eight years. No
teacher can make an eighth grade
pupil of your child in one or two
years.
The next regular teacher's examin
ation will be held May 17th and 18th.
Candidates may begin to write at 8 a.
m. each day and every one who takes
the examination should be present by
that time. Those who do not have
to w rite on all subjects will do well
if they take the extra time for the
subjects that they liave to write.
Those w ho expect to ask for re-issue
should do so before July 1st as the
new rules go into effect on that date.
A teacher was heard to say "I just
have to watch myself continually to
keep from loosing patience with the
children”. That teacher certainly
shows the right spirit-. We are all in
clined to be impatien At times, but
do we all guard ourselves against it?
A morning or afternoon of impatience
can undo the work of a month done
to gain the confidence of the pupils.
School teaching is still being used
as a stepping stone to higher things.
Miss Mary Domgard who taught the j
past year in district No. 52 and Miss I
Anna Bartunek who taught in district 1
No. 57 were married since their school1
closed.
The most carefully filled and neat
est term summary sent to this office
thus far is that of district No. 18.
Miss Ella Seeber. teacher.
The eighth grade papers are on file
in this office and we shall he pleased
to show those of any pupil to his pa
rents or teacher that they may know
more fully what the child needs to
emphasize in his next year's work.
After all reports are in we will
mention the names of those pupils
who have been neither absent or tardy
during the school year.
Miss Emma Rowe, distiict No. 14.
has an enrollment of nineteen, every
pupil perfect in attendance during
the past month.
