Item* of General IntoTMt n Furnlajbed , iHf GM>tr Sap«rIalaNMt. : The eflhacational meeting atffte&ntftti for Nov. ,20 promises to be one of the best we have held. The speakers are recognized leaden in their special de­ partments. Here is the list: Snpt. Frank H. Hall, state superintendent of fawners' inHtitttte; Snpt. C. W, Farr, assistant connty superintendent of schools of Cook county, and Prof. O. D. Center, specialist on corn in the agri- cnltnral college*) of Illinois. There will be many other speakers from onr local talent. Come and have a pleasant and profitable day. Miss Bessie Barnes, who teaches in the Estergren district in the town of Algonquin, is one of oar most pro­ gressive country teAchfers. She has taken hold of the corn contest in earnest and that the affair was a great success goes without saying. It was held oo Wednesday night of this week. Miss Barnes isn't in the least afraid of work. Wbeu she finds some conditions in the school that do not meet with h»?r ap­ proval or binder progress she imme­ diately seeks for better ways .and sh$ seems thus far to be successful in the things that she attempts to better. The country teacher should be classed with the missionary in her attempts to bring into existence more desirable con­ ditions in life. In fact any person who takes up the work of teaching must be possessed of a large amount of altruism. It is largely a work of lore. To assume it to be otherwise is fallacious in the face of evidence that points to such great disproportions between qualifica­ tions and the finanoial remuneration. There is some ground, however, for hope of a better day in the way of financial returns to the teacher. Only the other day we received in this office a letter from a patron of one of our country schools who suggests that the teacher in that district is not paid a sufficient sal­ ary. It appears that the teacher, tho a iteginner, has made good. She was en­ gaged to teach the school on a some­ what reduced salary, undoubtedly from the fact that the directors wanted to make sure of not wasting MUCH of the peoples' money in case the school was a failure. Now that she has succeeded it would be the proper thing to bring the salary to a proper amount. There is little doubt that many conscientious school directors aire willing to subscribe to a low salary for a new teacher. This is probably done because experience has demonstrated that the hiring of a suc­ cessful teacher is somewhat of a lottery. Here is the conclusion of the whole matter--when yon get a good teacher, don't let a few paltry dollars stand in the way when it comes to retaining her services. That's where the blonder too often occurs. Snpt. Ed wards of Hebron is planning on introducing the study of agriculture into the schools of that place. This is a wise move. Boys and girls who come largely from the threshold of the farm to the village school should be given something in their daily work that savors of the life of the farm. This makes far better living. To send farm boys and girls home to their agricultural pursuits no wiser to the laws that must be met and used In this greatest of sciences is indeed a mocke ry. To argue that the Latin and Greek, the algebra and history that is given as the daily pabulum is a wise conservation of a hazy "power" to be used in "future" living is to mock the stern demands of the hour. School is not to prepare for "future living." Its function is to teach the child the real art of "living in the present." The humanistic side must receive attention or our schools will continue to tnrn ont pupils educated either for idleness or a useless pro­ fession. Auction Sale! tleo. Vogel, Auctioneer.

That is the question which Lake conn­ ty people are trying to figure out. And it is all caused by a little advertisement which is appearing in a Milwaukee paper It would seem that Lake coun­ ty has a thriving affinity school, which will pat in the jihade any efforts made by the notorious Marion Grey. Here is the advertisement which is causing the speculation: Marry--500 want to marrv, many rich; one may be your affinity; photos, etc., free, sealed. Box 8, Bound Lake, III. The information is rather meager and inquiry from the town in question fails to bring out much information. It is believed, therefore, that the idea is one which has just been launched. The matter has been kept very quiet at Round Lake, and there are. very few who know of the existence of the affinity office. The promoters perhaps feel safer in carrying on their operations thrn the mails with outside cities. Those who profess to know of the ex­ istence of the matrimonial bnrean are of the opinion that the promoters qre ont of town people, evidently from Chi­ cago. They may have preferred the seclnsion of a quiet little village to tbe larger cities, as the searchlight of in­ quisition was not so liable to be turned upon them. The fact that the promoters of the bureau advertise that they have 500 who are desirous of finding their affinities makes it appear that the bureau is run ning on a large basis. In the case of Marion Grey it was proved that the safe way is to allow people to locate their own affinities. Irregularities of any kind are liable to result seriously for the promoters of such a scheme.

Dean Dave«|»ort at the Illinois Agricultural college says of the International Live Stock exposition of Chicago, which is to be held at the Union stock yards from Nov. 27 to Dec. 10: "Not one, not even thos^ responsible for its development, has adequate con­ ception of the influence of tbe 'Inter­ national' npon American live stock in­ terests As a practical educator it can­ not be surpassed; as a stimulus to trade, it has no equal; as' a means of shaping policies and correcting ideals, its in­ fluence is supreme. "A decade or - two ago such a thing would not have been possible in this conntry. It seems incredible now that a company orgauized primarily for busi­ ness, should see its way to exfjeud so much time, energy and money in the establishment of such an exposition. That it will pay there is no doubt. The pay will come in a thousand ways. The live stock interests will be more pros­ perous; the individual farmer who lives by it will be more successful, and the multitude of iuterests that depend npon live stock will thrive the better for it. 'The marvel of it all is that such a thing could be at all. It shows the breadth of the commercial spirit in this country, tbe generosity of live stock men, and the readiness of the American farmer to respond to modern methods and conditions. "What should be said of the man who does not go? That he is blind to his own best interests is certain; that he will get behind in tbe race and be lost in the shuffle is no less true; that the young man who will come on after him will ultimately possess bis herds and his lands, goes without saying. This is the age when every buSiuess must be studied, and farming is no exception, indeed it looks more and more as if farming were coming to be one of the most complicated professions and that tbe more is learned of it the more com­ plicated it becomes. "Let the 'International' live long and prosper. This certainly will be trne. The only uncertainty is how much good will individuals get out of it. This rests entirely upon them and depends upon whether tbey attend the exposi­ tion or whether they stay at home and find fault with what they have not helped to actiomplish. May they and others go."
