Any other holidays that trus-
tees see fit to give, however, it
was thought best not to give holi-
days where Urey fall in the mid-
dle of the week, if it can be avoid-
ed.
The plan for allowing teachers
one week’s full pay during the
school term in case of illness and
paying substitute teachers three-
fourths the salary of regular
teacher was presented. It proved
so successful last year that it was
decided to follow the plan again.
A motion was made and second-
ed that teachers be allowed one
week’s full salary for illness dur-
ing school year and that substi-
tute teachers be paid three-fourths
of regular teachers, carried unani-
mously.
Mrs. Liggett asked if some plan
when a pupil is absent from school
account of illness he would be eli-
gible to receive a perfect attend-
ance certificate. Mr. Hale staled
he had been seriously consider-
ing the matter already and hoped
to have some satisfactory' plan
worked out by next spring.
October 5 was presented as the
date for beginning compulsory at-
tendance period in the schools.
There seemed to be no objection to
that date.
Mr. Hale discussed the county
circulating library. He express-
ed a wish that each school con-
tribute again this year to the
circulating library $5.00 a room,
which will be added to the sum
contributed last year, thereby
making an account large enough
to furnish a wide reading range
for the rural pupils. The trustees
voted their approval of this plan.
Tree planting and yard beauti-
fication was stressed by Mr. Hale.

LEADING STORES
ADVERTISE
If you go into almost any com-
munity, you find this thing to
be true: The leading stores are
good advertisers. If you see a
large store, it probably uses a lot
of newspaper space. If you see
a small store with few people in
it, is it not properly advertised.
These two things go together
so consistently that people can not
expect to succeed in busines un-
less they observe this means of
reaching out to growth. If they
want to get ahead and establish
themselves as leaders in their
home community and neighbor-
