* YTe often wonder why some parents - *
ents , who are honest in everything
else , cause teachers so much trouble
3y demanding that their children
shall be graded higher than they
deserve. Five teachers grade chil
dren too high where ono grades too
.ow. Teachers are just as anxious
that pupils get high grades as are
the parents. It is only a high sense
of honor that leads them to grade
as nearly correst as they do.
At Crawford last Friday we met
3ol Morey who reported three cases
of typhoid fever in his family. He
said he was unable to secure a
nurse , so he had been compelled to
quit work and nurse the sick him
self. From the tired expression on
lis face we judge he finds nursing
a little more trying than work on
lis constitution. We saw Byron
Shaw also hobbling around on
crutches as a result of too much
foot ball. The families of Messrs.
Vincent and Handy seem to be
getting on nicely.
The North estern Educational
issociation held at Crawford last
Friday and Saturday was by far the
argest and most enthusiastic teach
ers' meeting ever held in Northwest
ern Nebraska. For the contest on
riday evening the opera house was
crowded to its fullest capacity.
There were fifteen entries for the
contest and each one did his part
well. Tne cheering was all done
with cow bells and tin horns and it
certainly was well done. * The day
meetings were welt attended and
the addresses showed careful prep
aration. Bessie Gaskill read a pa
per before the association which
was commended highly by different
ones. One woman who has taught
many years asked how it could be
that a young girl who wns just out
of school and had taught but three
months could prepare such a paper ;
and one county superintendent told
Bessie that he had a good school in
his county for her if she would ap
ply for it.
