SCHOOL VISITS
Jan. 20, 1S79.-After spending the
night with Mr.. Burkett's family, this
morning Mr.. Burkett hitched up lis
two horse buggy and took me to dis
trict No. 40, Mr.. J. Gown, teacher.
This district has built-a new school
house during the winter, 16x24, put in
the patent seat, the Key Note, and the
patent slate black board. The people
here deserve great deal Of credit for the
zeal they have shown, and also the taste
they have displayed, and are united in
making the school room comfortable
and attractive.
Mr.. Gown is doing a thorough work
here and the people speak in the highest
terms Of their teacher. This is pleas
ant school. The order is good and I'LL
seem determined to improve the time
in school.
l heard several classes 60 through
their Rotations, and though now they
are just beginning their efforts, after
years of absence from school, yet there
IS a spirit here which insures success.
In arithmetic, l listened to the follow
ing pupils rccite: Henry Doh, Albert
Hines, Luther Meaclam, Martin Doll
these did we'll for the time they have
been at school. Hattie Ryles anu Mary
Hines are two bright little girls COM
mencing in numbers and the teacher in.
forms me that he is preparing them for
teachers. So soon us they can get ready
shall 5e glad to give them first grade
| certificates.
The A 3 c. effort Of Christian Hal
bertson and Ole Hanson was success,
rs well as Charlie Dolls drill i'll three
letters and first reader exercises.
John Hanson is now in two letters
but he is on a double quick for the Sec
0nd reader.
In spelling, heard Theodore Han.
son, Charles Hanson, Anton Christo-
fers0n, Anton Haberson, Maggie and
William Frendable and was pleased
| with their spelling. Since my visit, this
school has introduced the State Text
Book and now their school is much bet

needed here. congratulate this dis
| trict OH their success in providing am
pie school facilities, and We may now
| look for good results.
RUsIIMoRE, Jan. 80, 1S79.-To-day
| spent some time in the school at Rush
more. Here l found Mr.. A. F. Horst
at work us teacher. Mr.. Horst is a
graduate of New England college, a
thorough scholar and an experienced
and practical teacher. The people of
Ruslimore have taken hold of educa-
tional interests with Il spirit which
shows that they mean business in school
matters rs well as in all else whic'! they
have undertaken. This school is Il
pleasant little family of 10, with the
teacher at the head. 1 have not found
4 more pleasant school. No harsh
words, nor stamping Of teachers foot,
nor manifestation Of anger here, but
mutual respect, kindness and good feel
ing prevails between teacher and put
pills.
Thomas Rushmore, a bright little
six-year old, reads and spells we'll in
primer and counts by twos. The teach
er has Tommy read his lesson frequent
Iy, Hebrew fashion; it don't make very
good sense, but then Tommy can't read
by note backwards. George and John
Times, and Oscar Summons solved Il
few problems in practical arithmetic,
and showed an intelligence in arithme-
tic truly gratifying. They are being
