What supt. shirk' School and Home"
Says Of Them.
What is the condition Of your
tardy roll? District No. So, D. A.
Holmes, teacher, and District No.
%, Miss Norah McNaspy, teacher,
neither had a case Of hardness up to
the time Of the superintendent
visit. District No. 40, G. F. Rum.
old, teacher, had one case. In Dis.
trict No. 81, +. E. Coulson, teacher,
only one pupil had been tardy, but
several times. Our schools have
made q fine record 40 far
In compliance with the vote at
the June School Board convention,
We have secured a Term Classifca-
ton Register for every school in the
county. They are paid for and can
be obtained at the county snperin-
tendent's office. We will deliver
them wherever possible. The
teachers will understand that these
are to be used only at the end Of
the term for classifying and record
ing the standing Of the pupils and
classes. They were obtained at a
surprisingly low price.
Now is the time to get up a so.
cial, an entertainment or collec-
ton to buy school library. Only
$1,000. Why should not every
school in the county have one? The
best proof that they are good
thing lies in the fact that the dis
tricts already having them are ad-
ding from five to fifteen dollars
worth to them this year. District
| No. 80 added about 40 books. Dis
trict No. 80 has $1,000 with which
to add to theirs. District No. lo5
is the first to put in a new library
this year. Let the good work 90 on.
The State Teachers Association
promises q rich treat this year DR..
| Mcintyre will deliver his famous
lecture, "'rhe Model I'eacher;"
John W. Cook, president Of the Ill
inois State Normal University and
one Of the greatest orators in his
state, will deliver lecture; the
famous "Modocs," Of Topeka, and
the Ladies' Chorus, Of Emporia, will
sing for us. These attractions, to-
gether with the strong papers and
discussions which have been pro-
yided for, will make the meeting
one which teachers cannot afford to
miss. The great good that comes
to teacher who attends these
meetings is in the aspirations and
striyings for higher things which
they bcget in him. Wew want to see
fifty Dickinson county teachers
present. One fare for the ronnd
! trip has been secured. The main
party from this county will 90 over
the Union Pacific, leaving Abilene
at 1885, December Goth.
