The winter schools will soon begin.
Teachers are nearly all enga ged, and
are expecting soon to commence their
labors.
What the results of our efforts shall
be is a mCmentOuS question.
Teachers, what shall be said OF our
work for this coming winter? Shall it
be said, with truth, that there were no
drones among us-that all OF the
teachers Of KenOsha County, were
ziUe, a0jde-G1OGEe, progressive teachers
Shall it be said that the winter OF TO
Z, was one of unparalleled activity and
interest in matters pertaining to our
moral and intellectual Improvement
These are questions Of prime impor-
tance. 1t is for us to say what their
answer shall be.
Never was intelligence more needed
among the masses than now. But the
masses will not strive to obtain knoWl-
edge until they appreciate its worth.
Here is a work for us. How shall
we help them to see clearly that edu-
cation is really worth all the efforts
that we can put forth to obtain it?
Much may be done to this end by eS-
tdDllShlng ana encouraging hyCeu!!hH
and Literary Societies in our respective
districts. I know Of nothing that will
create such a healthy interest in edu-
cational matters as an GctiUe, efficient,
and aOeU conducted literary society
In a district or neighborhood where
you find one of those societies, you find
scholars. interested in their studies.
Let us, then, encourage moral, men
tai, and social improvement in every
way possible.
Teachers, shall not we put forth an
extra effort to make the work OF the
coming winter a grand, united success

formed IN the early campaign, com

favor of supporting Hayes and

of the meeting at which the resolu-

A resolution was unanimouly
adopted amid great enthusiasm, in

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS IN COLO
PEnO

Colorado has become a State, with
the sobriquet "The Centennial State. "
1t is interesting to note that education
is receiving due attention, and that
the school system is already well or
gained. At the head Of her common
school system is a State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction. In each
county there is a County Superintend-
ent, elected by the people biennially
and in each school district board of
three directors, elected annually by
the citizens Of the district. The
Board of County Commissioners are
required by law to levy tax annual
