The resl? of the time it is a silent yet elo­ quent tribute to an institution that foregoes profits so that mankind may benefit from the services it alone is peculiarly fitted to confer. It is like a great world-wide university main­ tained and equipped thruout the year, but unused except during a brief period when for the lasting benefit of human­ ity it throws open it portals and says to the fanner: <tCome here.

"In selling Red Cross seals, looks are deceiving," says a well-known Washington society leader, who each year has charge of a booth in a large department store. Aristocratic-look­ ing men, or elegantly dressed women with diamonds on their fingers, buy five cents' worth of seals, while little children empty their pocketbooks of all their pennies. Only the other day a little boy came up to the table with his mother. "Mother, how many stamps shall I buy?" he said. "As many as you have pennies for," she told him, and he turned his pocketbook upside down and gave iorty-five. At one of the other stores, where the booth is near the door on the first flooor, the little boy who leaves the evening paper stopped to examine the pictures hung above the Red Cross table. There was one of tuberculous children taken at the hospital which the Red Cross seals help to support. Seeing some little colored children in the group, the paper boy asked: "What are them smokes doin'?" He was told that they were sick. Then, spying the seals, he asked what they were for. She told him they were to sell to help the sick children in the picture. Digging a penny from his pocket he put it on the table and started to take a package of twenty-five. He was told that the sumps were a cent each and he could only have one tor his penng. Crest­ fallen for only a minute, he took the seal and stuck it on one of his papers. Starting out the door, he turned and said as a parting shot: "'The next paper I sell is going to bring two cents." See ESLER for everything electrical.

M.j Shelton, county supei'intendent, spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in­ specting rural schools in our county", Two years ago Mr. Hoffman made a visit to this county and at that time but three school houses were found to be up to the requirements and physi­ cal conditions to'be given a diploma nrnrl tn hn nlnnnd UpOH the list of the standard schools of Illinois. Owing to the rain and bad roads, the original schedule leading into every township in the county had to be aban­ doned and practically all of the visita­ tions were made in the northern and eastern portions of the county. Of the eighteen schools visited, practically all had the requirements necessary for standard schools. With but one or two recommendations for additional books, blackboards, etc., & diploma was granted to seventeen schools. Had the original schedule been carried out and the schools visited as was planned in the beginning, McHenry county would now ba ranked with her sister counties in northern Illinois in modern equipped ' rural aobools. However, Supt. Hoffman gave Mr- Shelton authority to continue the checking of the schools and to make further rec­ ommendations to the state department at Springfield until every rural school in our county has been passed upon. Aside from the diploma granted to the school, a plack inscribed with'the gold letters "Standard School" is also given to be placed on the outside above the door of the school. Anyone read­ ing this inscription and ^shing to leant the meaning of it would upon entering the school find the seats adapted to the various ages of the pupils and properly arranged; a suf­ ficient amount of blackboards with some low enough for the smallest chil­ dren and the room heated by convec­ tion instead of radiation. On the out­ side they would find the grounds and buildings fairly well kept, that there was a roof on the woodshed and a door to the same, that there were tjwo wide­ ly -separated out-buildings, etc. Mr. Hoffman was well pleased with the rapid progress that had been made in our county and. wishes to congratu­ late the boards of directors and the teachers who had been working toward making the schools in McHenry county suitable for the best development of our boys and girls into strong men and women. Mr. Shelton believes that the time is not far distant when McHenry county will rank with more than fifty schools modemly equipped. Surely no harm can come to tmr county either educationally or economically if we should have every rural school not only visited frpm the state superin­ tendent's office, but also having his O. K. Along with this improvement In physical equipment has come a uni­ form system of text books and course of study. Every person who begins teaching in our county now must meet at the office of the county superintend­ ent each month for a period of six months prior to the. receiving of her certificate and then meet similarly during the first four months of her teaching experience. The examinations are nt>w based up­ on the work done in the uniform texts of the county, making a basis of com­ parison thruout the county that is per­ haps as fair as possible for every pupil attending school. From the above it is evident that our schools are pro­ gressing not only in physical equip­ ment, but also in Actual teaching. OBITUARY OF MRS. FAY WAS BORN AT BUFFALO, N.
