A WONDERFUL COUNTRY.

Truly southwestern Wisconsin is a
wonderful section of country. It's
people scarcely appreciate the adVan-
tages and blessings with which they
are surrounded. At this season of the
year good idea can be obtained OF
the marvellous fertility of the soil of
our blue grass region. At the present
time all small grain promises a good
Weld, while the corn is well advanced
for the early part of July. Despite
what to many seemed unfavorable
weather for growth, the crop prospects
of this region are very encouraging.
The grass crop is being cut and gather
ed and will be much heavier than was
anticipated a few weeks ago. Local
storms may damage crops in some
places, but it is safe TO predict that
the general yield throughout southern
Wisconsin will be large. While it is
LEub LIIdJ llItIC iIhD Itfti DN'ii % CCttfA
failure of grain crops, it is also true that
our wonderful adaptability to stock
raising and dairying has caused the
grain fields to become smaller and the
grass fields larger year by year. And
such grass Surely the natural home OF
the stockman and the dairyman is here,
where the soil produces in such album
dance grass unexcelled by that of the
far famed blue grass region of Ken
lucky. The fine breeds of horses and
cattle that are being brought as well
as raised here, show some measure Of
appreciation of our great grass pro-
ducing section. The numerous cheese
factories and creameries with which
the country is being dotted, also show
that great wealth lies in the proper
utilization Of our grasses.
In addition to products of the soil
Southwestern Wisconsin has possessed
and still possesses great mineral
wealth The mines are only partially
developed. In Mineral Point and
vicinity are mines which are yielding
good returns, to the owners. Mining
is being very protitably carried on at
Highland, and other places in this
county, and at Shullsburg, New Dig
gins, in Lafayette county, and at
Reetown and other sections of Grant
county; and the lead ore, dry bone and
black Jack, find a ready market.
The farming and mining advantages
which we possess are surely bringing
pIUstNss anu piVopNt'UJ ~ $780,
OF country, and The Democrat ventures
the prediction that ut the end of the
next decade we will find great adj
vancemcnt, and considerable in
crease of population. Very many
who have gone from us elsewhere to
seek homes and fortunes freely con
fess that that they regard south
western Wisconsin as one of the most
favored spots of earth, and marvel at
he migratory spirit which prompts
people to leave it, with all its natural
advantages and pleasant surroundings.

SUMMER TERMS.

| had intended to write an article for
last weeks issue of the paper concern
ing the present prevailing division of
the school year into fall winter and
summer terms, or winter and summer
terms, so that school boards might
make provision for the coming year
at the annual school meeting; but
circumstances preventing me, | was
obliged to defer the matter until the
present.
have visited many schools during
the summer term and cannot say shat
work done IN July and the last part
of June is u sufficient return for the
outlay of money. | generally find the
attendance irregular and small, due to
the excessive heat and suItry weather.
Pupils are unable to study without
falling asleep and teachers are generally
too much enervated to respond to the
usual demand for energy, and do their
work in a mechanical WY, waiting pa
tiently for the close of the term.
Now a much better plan is to have
school begin earlier in the fall, or have
a short vacation in the spring. 1t
may be that in localities that some
pupils may not be able to attend reg
ularIy, but, in my opinion, one weeks
school in spring or fall is equivalent
to four weeks school in the month of
July and the last part of June.
Where the people at the annual
meetings have not acted on the mat
ter of length of terms, the respective
school boards may, and | earnestly re-
commend that the summer terms
may be shortened SO as to last no
longer than the middle of June

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
Conducted by H. w. Dietrich, County
Superintendent.
REPORT OF DISTRICT CLERKS.


REPORT OF DISTRICT CLERKS.
First in regard to the reports of
entire districts as distinguished from
joint districts The clerks of entire
districts have doubtless already secured
from the town clerks, blank form of
report, termed form A. and school
census blank. The census blank is
easily filled ont, though in large dis
tricts, it requires considerable time.
and in some districts necessitates much
travelling. The blank a requires more
care, and would advise clerks to read
carefully, several times. the printed
directions on the lst page. The ex-
plantations and suggestions there given
are more complete and satisfactory
than any could possibly give.
1t may seem that there are some un-
necessary requirements in this form,
but it is plainly our duty to fill out
the blank to the best of our ability,
trusting that the superior wisdom of
the State Department will require no
more information than is really neces-
sary ana for the benefit of the schools.
Should any clerk experience difficulty
in understanding what is wanted, it
would be advisable to call to his assis-
lance some teacher who may live con-
veniently near.
The clerks of joint districts receive
3 different forms; viz, form b, form
c, and a census blank. | think the
best plan is to take the census of the
whole district on the census blank first
and then fill out the \. forms, according
to directions printed on the back OF
them. Form + is sent to the clerk OF
the town in which the school house is
located, and after copying from the
census blank what is required for forms
Il and C., 1t (the census blank may be
destroyed as you have no further use
for it.
Should any further explanations be
required, | shall be pleased to furnish
them.
! am aware that The lneager salary
of school clerks is quite inadequate tc
compensate them for the work they
are required to do, but | hope all will
take the proper view of this matter
and loan me their hearty support in
making the report of Iowa county as
correct and complete as is possible.
In order for the various town clerks
to get in their reports in time, it will
be necessary for them to look after any
deliquent district clerks who may for
get to return their reports at the proper
