COUNTY EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
BY SUPERINTENDENT MORTON.

The object of the Course of Study
and the examinations which accord
with it is to further perfect III sys-
tenn of grading. 1t is not expected
that the teacher make this course his
absolute guide becauseal i of our text
books do not take up the work as
prescribed, but he should follow it as
far as practicable, both in the daily
work and in the questions that come
TO him each month. 1.-The finds that
the questions do not cover the work
canyassed within the month, then he
should supplement them with ques-
tions of his own.
Another advantage OF u system
is the relation which it sustains to
cur Graded schools CT the county.
Prof. Davis and his corps of teachers
in the Miller schools have used the
first months questions with evident
satisfaction, thus demonstrating the
practical workings in all the grades,
and the eas with which pupils step
from one grade to another and to
the higher work as prescribed in the
advanced course OF the high school.
This is as it should be. Whv should
u pupils, after completing the com
mon school course, go elsewhere for
instruction which they should receive
and can receive in the advanced
schools OF our county. Let us foster
our home institutions in this partic-
ular. The high school fulfills it's mis-
sion when it prepares u pupils for
the higher institutions of our state.
A visit to nearly all of the schools
OF Bates, Rose Hill, Hubert, Grand
and Gilbert districts found teachers
and pupils striving to "store the
mind with useful knowledge" Some
OF the schools are especially worthy
OF favorable mentions but if | should
do SO you would say Just as | ex-
pected from such teachers" Many
OF our younger. teachers are disposed
to cope with,the older ones. Let the
good work 60 on.
Fay Fisk has the sympathy of the
entire fraternity. She has been una
ble to teach for more than a week on
account OF what seemed to be a grap-
pie with the typhoid fever. When
visited a change had taken place for
the better, and We expect to hear of
her being at the helm again in a few
days.
Maggie Bowman, a pupil of Miss
Vests school was unfortunate in
breaking here leg while at play. Just
like the rest of our good students,
she is anxious to keep up with her
grade and is studying at: home and
longing for the time to come when
she may be again with her teacher.
