The Htm t«**&ors' narftttfc held Saturday at Woodcock was attended excepfcionaWy well. Afeowt 150 were present a«d less dfas a score were ab­ sent. Considering the fact that these teachers eoroe from all over the coun­ ty and include So man jr. this speaks well indeed fsf tf* intereattfie teach* era show in their work. A& county superintendent of schools Mr. Shelton wishes to express to th^rn Ms appre­ ciation of their excellent disposition as manifested in thei* attendance without pay and entirely voluntary on their own part. There is no question but what the great majority of teachers wish to do all they can for the interest of the school children, but we all know that there are many elements and con­ ditions that enter into the success of a school that parents and pfttrerns per­ haps have a better chance to control than do the teachers. This year should be the very best for oar rural schools. We are start­ ing out under most favorable auspices. All the schools, practically, will use the uniform texts and will open this week. This makes tfie work very uniform thruout the county and gives excellent opportunity for co-operation between parents, teachers and county superintendent. «• Pupils that move this March will take their books with then] and enter the next school just where they left off. There will be no disadvantage to them in any way nor will they inconvenience the work of the school that they ester. Schools that formerly made a practice of open­ ing their School a month later now recognize fehe fact that tlieir pupils will be a month behind, that pupils that enter at leaf# their school tfiifc next March Will be ont of tmkth witfc the work tbat they shoe Id do. 4n addition to this, the tnttline of the work from the eoutity superintendent, the questioKi se&t out, the preliminary and final e*atm nations ekhnot be used to an advantage by either pupil or teacher. There is gradually being in­ augurated a system for our rural schools that will count for efficiency and bring them up to such a standard that pupils finishing the eighth grade iWll be able to continue their school education if they wish in any high school in the county. At the Saturday meeting there was distributed supplies for the year, among which was the Teachers' Manual, issued by the county superintendent, in which, as a suggestive daily pro. gram, notice of the free supplementary reading material, ruleB and regulations and a monthly outline of the work for each grade in every book. This will give a definite idea of the Work to be accomplished by the teacher and will show the parent the progress of the children month by month. This man­ ual is indeed timely, for in the rural schools of this county 78% have either new or beginning teachers to take charge of the local work. By the aid of this manual there is bound to be less duplications and omissions. Many school boards have also been busy. The school and grounds have been cleaned and all necessary repairs made for good working conditions. There should be a material gain in the enrollment in the upper grades and in the number that complete the eighth grade work. Parents and pat­ rons will continue their sympathy and aid as in the past and McHenry county in general should witness a very suc­ cessful school year. Sales, square dealings, D. P.

Frett of the Central opera house states that the next at­ traction will be Miss Jessica Ray in My Western Girl," a breezy comedy with a full scenic production and ex­ cellent cast of well known western favdrites. The scenes of this brilliant comedy are laid in Arizona, then shift to Washington, D. C., and back to God's country, the west again. The story is an intensely human one and free from cheap theatrical tricks and situations. One critic summed up its success in four words when he said, "The play is human." The manage­ ment has spared no expense in sur­ rounding the clever star with an ex eel lent company and theater-goers can look forward to a treat. Sunday, Sep­ tember 8.

While the afternoon crowd was not the very largest ever seen at this popular resort, the even­ ing turnout was a splendid one. A number of races were pulled off during the afternoon. In the speed boat race the "Sentinel," owned and driven by Miller Bros, of Pistakee Bay, came in first and the "Thistle," owned by John Armstrong of Emerald Park, finished second. The winner was presented with a $12.50 horn. The family launch race was won by the "Dad," owned and driven by the Armstrong boys of Emerald Park. The prize for this race was a pump. In the row boat race Eddie Smith came out first; Joe Nell, second, and Charley Peterson, third. The first prize was a box of Monogram cigars, the second, a box of Casey cigars, and the third, or booby, a box of crackerjack. The Labor day dance held at the Park was not quite so well attended as the Sunday even­ ing dance. JOn Wednesday eyehitlg one of the largest crowds that has ever attended a dance at this resort was present. REFUSED. Every publisher has received card with such a notice--"Refused." The postmaster is not to blame. For in­ stance there is a man by the name of --well, say Tim Short--who refused to take the paper out of the office. He did't want it any more. The publish­ er, it is said, wondered what was the matter, so he looked in his subscrip­ tion book. There he found that Tim Short was short $7.50. He had never paid a cent and vet he had stopped his paper, probably as a matter of econ­ omy to the paper man. A few even­ ings later the publisher stepped into a church and Tim's melodious voice rang out loud and clear in the old stirring song, "Jesus Paid it All. The pub­ lisher was impressed with the earnest­ ness of Tim's singing. The next day he sent him a receipt, begging his pardon for not knowing he had made an assignment of his liabilities to the Lord. ___ LAKE COUNTY FAIR THIS WEEK.
