To The Teachers of Sherman County: The 1917 annual session of the Sher man County Teachers’ Institute will convene in the auditorium of the new High School building in this city Mon day. August 27, at 2 p'm. sharp, clos ing Friday, August 31. This week is sel^gted because the summer schools are closed ,and vacations are not bro 1 ken into, teachers know definitely by | this time where they are to teach and the nature of their work. Teachers need not return home but remain to take up their work, and coming as it does immediately before the open ing of the term, the V.iiefits derived from the institute may be carried dr rectly to the schools. Attendance. All persons who intend to teach in the county the. ensuing year are ex peited to attend the in,ire session ex eepl as stated below. Atendance at 'unimer school or any other institute will not be taken in lieu of attend (ance at this institute. Please do not ask to be excused as such requests wil not be granted. We find that one rule I for all is a very good one in matters : of this kind. While the school law ; makes it compulsory that teachers at tend the institute. »> sincerely hope I that all w ho are to teach in Sherman ! county the coming year will attend not ! because of legal requirements, but to i take advantage of the opportunity of fered for professional improvement and to better prepare themselves for the year's work before them. l rcter Articie 14. Sc non ls7. of the school laws, the eon ty superintend ! ent may revoke the i ■ rtificate of an\ I teacher who fails or refuses to attenn the county institute. The following is a ruling of the State Department und j er Article 14. Section S7. "This legal requirement for institute attendance is construed to apply tc all teaehtrs holding posiions organ izecl under Articles 3, 6. 7 and 9. The holders of State, professional, city or life certificates are required to attend the institute .unless excused by the county superintendent." From the standpoint of the greatest good to the greatest number, I have prepared the program this year for grade teachers and for teachers teach ing the first two years of high school work I have decided, therefore, to ex cuse the high school teachers of the Loup City schools an principals of town schools holding state, profes sional. or life certificates. If applica tion is made before the opening of in stitute accompanied b the insttutc fee of SI.00. Every teacl.->r who teache in the county must pay this fee. The schools of the county are not yet filled and all home teachers whe are qualified and wish to teach are employed. Non-resident tea. hers win wish to fill these vacancies or to fill 1 vaeanices that no doubt will occur dur the year by teachers resigning or oth erwise, should attend the institute in Sherman county. I cannot promise vou a school if you attend institute but you cannot teach in Sherman county it you do not attend. Enrollment. The enrollment fee is one dollar, and we will very much appreciate it if you can find it possible to enroll at the office before the opening day. It you receive credit for institute attend ance you must be present at every period during the entire session. Work. In planning this institute it has been our tnedavor to have presented, work that is inspirational, professional and practical. It has been our aim to pro vide material for all classes of teach ers. Special attention will be given to reading, arithmetic, orthography, writ ing and English. Note books will be turnished in which a systematic record of the work should be kept. Instructors. The following instructors have been secured Dr. A. O. Tohmas. State Su perintendent of Maine; Prof. J. F. Dun can. City Superintendent at Osceola. Nebraska; and Alice Henigan. of the Lincoln schools This is a very strong faculty and I trust teachers will show their appreciation of the fact by dost attention to the work. Board and Room. As there will be a convention held in Loup City the week of the institute teachers will do well to secure board ing places as early as possible. The county superintendent will be pleased to assist teachers in securing desir able boarding places. In Conclusion. i ne institute has been planned for you, and planned with consideration to suggestions given by some of you. Its success will depend largely upon you. Last year’s institute was a suc cess because of the enthusiasm and interest of the teachers enrolled. We are expecting even greater success this year, because the professional interest and the spirit of harmony and coopera tion has been keen throughout the year. I am glad that we have very few of the weak half-hearted teachers who can see no good in attending an insti tute. Sherman county has no place for the knocker .who is the weak, stupid, spiritless kind of a teacher. If you have no love for school work do not hope to lead your pupils to love their work. The spirit of the school is the teacher. The spirit of the institute is the teacher. Come prepared for a good institute and we will have it. Yours very sincerely, L. H. CURRIER. County Superintendent. FED CROSS WAR FUND. Previously acknowledged . ...$3,346.00 Frank Palu . 5.00 Frank Mickovv . 5.00 Fred Stamm . 5.00 Wm. Lewandowski . ?5.00 E. C.

But a glance at conditions as they are will convince the most optimistic that peace is still a long way off. in me nrst place. Uie map ot Europe and oilier parts of the world lias been much (hanged since this war beean. While Germany has lost her colonial possessions, she has occupied othej territory which, in the event she can hold it. will doubtless mean more to her than thar which she has lost Great P.n tain will arcely consent to relinquish the German territory she lias con quered. nor will France make peact without a restoration by Germany of Alsace-Lorraine. Japan has Kia-Chau taken from Germany, and German ar mies are overrunning large portions of Russian te ritory Again th -e has been no intimation that either the Central or entente pow ers would agree to a peace without in demniy. And the matter of indemnity is a mountain of difficulty in the way of peace negotiations. Billions have been spent by each side, and the best blood of all the nations has been spilled That each would contend for indemni ty unless conquered outrght there c-ar. be no shadow of doubt That neithei would even think of granting indemnity there can also he no doubt. With this state of affairs prevailing and with the greatest bitterness and hatred existing that me world has evet experienced, it looks as though the on !y hope for peace is a clean victory for one side or the other. That being the case, what is the condition fat ing the allies? First, it must be admitted that Ger many is far from an exhausted natiut. however much we may hope that such is the case The tenacity with which she holds to her position in the face of staggering onslaughts of the French and English is ample proof of this. Again, it becomes more apparent each day that little reliance can bt placed hi Russia as a positive, aggres sive force. She may keep up a sent blaruce of offensive, but unless sht greatly improves, that will be all Sht has too many forces within her borders pulling in different directions In time she may harmonize these, but it will take time, and her aid is needed now if it is to be of any benefit Viewed from whatever angle we may view it. the conflict narrows down to a fight to a finish, with the United States as the deciding factor And to he such a deciding factor, she must throw such a force across the waters as shall by sheer numbers make a successful resistance by Germany no longer possible Every loyal citizen of this country will dedicate his services and his life to this purpose . The man who at this time seeks to place obstacles in the way of the government is not worthy the citizenship he enjoy s. and should be forever deprived of it There is absolutely no use in this country for the obstructionist SHERMAN COUNTY FAIR. The Shermn county fair association board met last Saturday night to make arrangements for our county fair t be held on September 19-20-21. All the members of the board were present and everything was gone over in detail in regard to the attractions and exhibits at the fair. While it is impossible to say much in regard to the fair this week, owing to all the arrangeemnts not being completed, we expect to have a full report of the com ing fair's doings in next week's paper. Xow is the time for everyone to get busy and give all the aid possible to the officers in charge in order to make the fair this year the biggest and best in the history of the county.

One day last week a farmer living several miles from Loup City was ar rested and fined for selling bad eggs The state food inspector was here that day and caught the man in the act of selling the eggs. The fine and costs amounted to $13.25. There is a strict law against selling old and ancient hen fruit, and the inspector announced that everyone selling bad eggs would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law While not many of our citizens would be guilty of knowingly selling bad eggs it would be a good plan to be careful, as the fine might be a great deal more than the one mentioned above.
