For years there was no place in the
county in which more successful teach

Der than IN Meme. But there was fall
ing off and then an entire discontinuance.
Supt. Patzer has resolved to revive the
educational spirit and has called a meet
ing there for the 3rd of April.
The literary spirit has now reached
kossuth. A Literary Society has been
formed IN School Dist. No. 4. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: Pres, Willie
krause; Vice-Pres., Robert Hessel; Sec
rotary, Clara krause. The pupils of the
school are the originators of the organi-
cation and it is hoped that the young
folks of The district will come to their as
sistance. Mr.. Melsnest has brought
new feeling TO our district and his SER
vices were a sorely felt necessity. ~

The Third ward school board are hav-
ing some difficulty in adjusting condi- |
tions SO as to meet the wants of large
number of pupils who have been attend
ing the Polish school. The lack of flexi- /
bilty of the graded system makes classi- |
fication of these pupils difficult it is rem
dered more so from the fact that the pro-
gress of these children has not been uni |
form in the different branches. The du- |
ties of the board and of the teachers are
made more arduous because of the suspi- |
clOn that there IS a prejudice against the |
children on account of nationality. The |
board and teachers are doing the very
best they can for the children. Children |
taught in mixed school cannot at once |
be placed in the grade suitable to their |
advancement in the one study in which |
they are most proficient. This would be |
a wrong to the children as they would |
have to drop the studies in which they |
are deficient. The parents don't always |
know this but the teachers do.
