The exhibit in cooking included canned and preserved fruits and vegetables, cakes, pies and bread. There was an exhibit of foods grouped to show the different classes and also to show a balanced menu.

Mechanical drawing was shown from the Roachdale, Greencastle and Russellville schools and consisted mainly of working drawings which are to be used later in the shops.

The purpose of the display was to show what is being done in the schools of Putnam county and to arouse interest among the teachers, pupils and patrons in this new feature of the school work.

The Hartford City schools are keeping abreast of the times. Superintendent W. A. Myers and the school board are exerting every effort to provide sufficient and modern buildings in which to take care of the growing

needs of the schools. An addition has been made to the high school. The improvement contains seventeen rooms, two of them being large study rooms forty-six by fifty-four feet. All the vocational work will be cared for in the annex. This addition will cost $43,000. Also, a modern central heating plant is being installed. The cost of this will be $19,000. It will heat both the old and new parts of the high school and a grade building. Plans have been made for a further addition to contain a gymnasium, an auditorium and two additional study rooms. This further improvement will probably be made next summer.

Superintendent Herman Wimmer, of Bremen, has organized a free public night school. The teachers donate their services. Classes in architectural drawing, arithmetic, Bible study, bookkeeping, business writing and spelling, cooking, English, French, German, literature, orchestra and show-card writing. There were no entrance examinations and any citizen of Bremen, young or old, was welcomed to the classes.

WHAT 15C WILL DO

The little matter of 150 in stamps will bring you the Pathfinder for 13 weeks on trial. The Pathfinder is an illustrated weekly, published at the Nation's Capital, for the Nation; a paper that gives all the news of the world and that tells the truth and only the truth; now in its 22d year. This paper fills the bill without emptying the Durse; it costs but $1 a year. If you want to keep posted on what is going on in the world, at the least expense of time or money, this is your means. If you want a paper in your home which is sincere, reliable, entertaining, wholesome, the Pathfinder is yours. If you would appreciate a paper which puts everything clearly, fairly, briefly -here it is at last. Send only 15c to show that you might like such a paper, and we will send the Pathfinder on probation 13 weeks. The 15c does not repay us, but we are glad to invest in New Friends,
