A circular letter was sent to Director
OF school districts this week by Supt
Hunter. The following is a copy OF il:
To School Officers Of Webster County
GENrLEMES:-The present school yeal
et lS9i-5 is nearing its close. 1t has
been one noted tor a large attendance
in our public schools, many young
men especially, having taken the oppor.
tunity to attend school on account OF
there being but little work TO do on the
farm in the fall and winter.
As the public schools are for the mass
es-not the classes; the least expensive
schools for the education OF tho chill.
dren OF aR the people; the best system
known for the universal diffusion Of men.
tai, physical and'moral instruction.; the
foundation stone'upon which rests the
perpetuity of'our national government
and free institutions; that which, as far
as possible. gives the poor mans child
an equal start in the race OF life with the
child OF the wealthy; it is the duty OF
the patrons OF every district to provid.
means f0 the continuance and improve.
ment Of its public schools.
IL ia u glorious fact that all that b
hild neeao to do in this country to get b
good practical education is to take HIM
self and his dinner to school, and q
make proper use Of all the means fur
nished by the pubic for his advance
ment.
As 4 financial depression exists, Al
persons feel disposed in every way pos
sible To decrease expenses. would
strongly suggest that ample provision,
be made for the education OF you
children. As far as possible, let sci
denial he spracticed in 9th or ways rsthel
than in lessening the lueans Of you
children'G education.
The greatest complain / OF the year
on the part OF teachers and patrons ie
the failure Of school boards.in many dis
trlcts to supply a sufficient: number of
text books for the use OF the. pupils Tn,

working OF the schools next y, var.
As many children have no | ooks suit

the text books used IN sch, vol, as in
childhood and in youth is tn @ time TO
acquire a taa.e for the readin; z Of good
literature, for the use Of all Il 10 pupils
l wish to suggest that in every district
IN this county not less than five dollars
be appropriated toward buyln, books
for the establishment OF a pupils library,
or for increasing the number OF | looks ia
libraries that have been establish ed.
In many districts there is yet 40 way
provided for the care OF books. A good

room.
