their way to the grounds, among
other small talk, she playfully said
he had ears like q mule. He retorted
that if his ears were large he had no
kindeys in his feet. Then she got
mad and told him that ifher feet did
not suit him she knew feller they

To The Honorable Board OF Superb
sors of Cedar county.
GENTLEMEN: | have the honor to
submit the following as the report of
my work since your last meeting.
Since that time I bave visited -
schools. 4 large proportion of these
were apparently In prosperous condi-
ton. There has been noticeable
lack OF school apparatus In many dis
tricts, but many school boards arc
making arrangements to purchase
maps, globes, aud dictionaries, and IL
is TO be noped that il will not be long
until the county will be well supplied
with those things which are necessary
Tor the success of its schools
The State Normal convened in Des
Moines during the last week in June.
This ! attended, and. so far as possible
made arrangements To conduct our
County Normal in accordance with
the plans and regulations given us
tlfen by the State Superintendent.
Two appeal cases were set for hear
ing during the early part of July, one
of them in Springfield township and
the other one in Dayton.
The one in Springfield l found up
on my arrival there had been amica-
bly, settled by the board of directors
before the time set for hearing, and
therefore dismissed IT,
The other was an appeal from the
decision of the Beard of DIRECTORS of
the Dist. Up. of Dayton in regard to
locating new school house In sub
district No. ]. upon the old site. The
trial lasted two days. and the action
of the board was affirmed.
The County Normal Institute OPEN
ed July 80 and remained in session
four weeks. The attendance and
punctuality were remarkable. and tho
utmost good feeling prevailed through
the entire session. la members were
enrolled and during the session we
were honored by receiving l23 visit
ors.
At the close of the session lia candi-
dates presented themselves for ex-
animation of which 10 were found
incompetent.
We were not enabled to meet the
entire expense of the Normal from the
Institute Fund this year, and l am
compelled to ask you to make an ap.
preparation from the county funds of
$50.
