This five-day institute will be a training school ol special value to every teacher in the county. Each instructor has the O. K. of our state superintendent of public instruc­ tion. Just as in the last analysis the teacher is looked tippp as the Veal school, so with equal force the in- ^ctcrs sre the institute. With their vitalizing touch they make or mar the week's institute. There is also another side tp the instiiute that is perhaps even more important than the influence of the instructors. This is the valu­ able privilege of teachers getting to­ gether to exchange idea, renew asso­ ciations and receive suggestions and aid from their oo-workers. In fact, the institute has, as one of its incep­ tions, the profiting- by the fruits of other individuals' toil. All teachers actively engaged in teaching will attend as in the past. "Time spent at institute shall be con­ sidered time lawfully expended in the service of the district, and no deduc- j Mid disposed cf his choice h tion shall be made for such attendance." See school laws, section 183. Teachers have approved the sending of their record of attendance to the clerk of their respective districts for inspec­ tion. These reports are mailed out Friday evening at the close of institute. This publicity in institute attendance was inaugurated because school boards gave a legal and moral right to such official reports. Tardiness and absence from institute are placed upon the same basis as absence from regular school duties. Indifference on the part of teachers, members of school boards or county superintendents toward at­ tendance openly displays a lack of in­ terest in the work they have been chosen to perform. To provide some­ thing of interest and benefit to every teacher has been the purpose constant­ ly kept in view in the preparation of this program. Section 181 of the school law provides that "the county super­ intendent shall hold an annual institute of not fewer than five days for the, struction of teachers and those who may desire to teach." Again, section 183 says, "it shall be the duty of the school directors to close the schools for such institutes." The examination and renewal fees of the teachers pay the expenses of the institute. Thus one may see how closely the teachers, school boards and county superintend­ ents are united in carrying' out the letter and spirit of the school law. All persons who expect to teach in Mc­ Henry county the ensuing school year should feel it their duty to attend. Credit will be given for such attend­ ance. Aside from the regular work offered last year, a new feature, consisting of domestic science, has been introduced into the curriculum. Miss Florence Harrison of the University of Illinois, formerly a high school teacher of do­ mestic science, will conduct two periods a day along the lines of household arts! It is hoped that this special work will aid in giving a practical tendency to our educational system, and thus dig­ nify labor instead of leading our chil­ dren away from work. That more emphasis may be placed on iim vocational, side of education Friday afternoon has been given over to the discussion of the two vocational bills BOW before our present legisla­ ture. This afternoon program has a dual purpose--that of presenting the importance of practical training in our schools, and of the maintaining of our present school system. In other words, along with the discussion of vocational training, there has been presented in the " legislature a bill looking toward the establishment of another board of education having power to tax, to levy bonds, build school houses and employ teachers along the lines of vocational training. Th!% in substance, is th£ Cooley Bill, supported by political and commercial organizations in Chicago. The Conference Vocational Bill, pro* pared by representatives from agricul­ tural, banking, business and school men, provides for vocational education within the present system now in vogue. It opposes the establishment of another board of education with this dual sy» tem of school work. That legislation will be enacted along one or the other lines, as determined by these bills, is certain. Thousands of dollars are at stake within this county. Every tax­ payer should know the provisions of each of these bills and should be able to intelligently speak along their ad­ vantages or disadvantages. To this end we have secured Dr. Wm. B. Owen of the Teachers' College of Chicago, who is not only authority, but who is very fluent speaker, who will open the discussion at the beginning of the meeting in the opera house. He will be followed by representatives from the various county interests. The fol­ lowing men and women have consented to take part in the discussion: M. J. Wright, Woodstock, Holsteiu- Fresian association; C. W. Colton, Woodstock, Farmers' Institute; Mrs. C. H. Talbot, Marengo, Women's clubs; Fremont Hoy, Woodstock, Bankers' association; John R. Kellogg, Wood­ stock, School Officers; G. W. Conn, Woodstock, State Teachers' associa­ tion; M. F. Walsh, Harvard, Editors' association. Special muei& will be furniahed for the afternoon, and it is desirous to have a representative audience, and that if necessary proper resolutions be drafted and passed for presentation to the present members of the state leg­ islature. Following is the list of the instructors for the week: rr. L. D. Coffman, Champaign; Dr, C. Bagley, Champaign; Supt. Edgar '-F- Worst, Chicago; Dr. Wm. B. Owen, Chicago; Prof. 8. Y. Gillan, Milwau­ kee; Prof. S. L. Smith. Miss Wl< - • - O. W. Conn, engaged shipping stock and personal effects to Edison Park, his new home.' Buenting's hotel was the scene of the festivities incidental to the regular semi-monthly meeting of the Fox Lake L. D. P. association's card party Tues­ day evening, March 4. Henry ("Red") Johonnott, former clerk for Maypole's grocery store, is negotiating for the purchase of a horse, milk wagon, eto., with a view of enter­ ing the milk business in the FOxf&ke region. Mrs. Frank Lumber, who recently engaged in a shopping expedition in Chicago, had the misfortune to lose her purchases while in the rest room of one of the mammoth department stores in that city. Our mayor, who recently returned from the balmy breezes of Mobile, Ala., projecting himself into our local blizzard, will perhaps be able to keep warm if the political excitement re­ mains at a "whifc« heat." John Bice and Herman Pedersen, who recently visited Jas. Pedersen, are prospective citizens of Fox Lake. While here they looked over the Tweed sub-division for the purpose of making selections of lots in the same. At a regular session of the village board held Thursday.

H, Hendricks, our enterprising mer- ohant, is engaged in taking annual stock inventory and is also conducting a candle burning contest, for which he offers as a prize a handsome chocolate pot.

His pleas­ ure, however, was somewhat diluted with regrets, as he landed in such a manner as to bury his fair companion in the Bnow bank. After extricating themselves ^nd capturing the horses, they proceeded to their ^destination in good spirits. / . Politics Are beginning to loom up and heated discussions and high pitched harrangues smite the atmosphere in the vicinity of Main street. Thfc fol­ lowing candidates have filed petitions and are now grooming themselves and rounding up the voters preparatory to gobbling the political plums April 15: For president of the village board, John G. Brown; for trustees, Jas. jHayek farm machinery, Fred C. Schultz, Ben Lawrence, Soren Mathesen, Wm. V. Jackson, Reinhold Muench; police magistrate, Jos. V. Frana; John A. Holt. John A. Holt, our affable candidate for police magistrate, is introducing new methods in his campaign, which takes the form of social as well as political activity. Thursday he en gaged one of Marvin's choicest cutters, which he decorated with two handsome young ladies, and departed for the suburbs amid a whirlwind of excite­ ment and a craning of necks oh the part of this astonished populace, Mr, Holt being an involuntary bachelor. He covered the outlying district in the vicinity of Ingleside, admirably com­ bining business, pleasure and politics. This method is .bound to prove effective as a means of attracting attention from the mere fact that the eternal feminine, while being transported in any kind of a conveyance, is wont to exercise her lungs and give vent to shrieks, yells, bird frills, rippling laughter And songs in a high key, which fill the soul of her gallant escort to overflowing with the joy of her magnetic presence, caus­ ing his enthusiasm to go up like a sky­ rocket and a shower of happiness to descend upon him, e^c.
