SCHOOL VISITATION.

Since my last report l have made
one hundred and twenty one official
visits. I have been able to make
this important part of the work
more effective during the past year
becfuse Of a previous knowledge of
the conditions obtained from former
visits.
A record of the amount and kind
of work, methods, discipline, &c.
furnishes a basis for many practi-
cal and useful discussions in our
teachers meetings. I have re
ported the conditions as they were
found to the school board after each
visit and I appreciate highly the
attention given to suggestions I
have made in regard to some neces-
sary improvements.
Our county has been compare
lively free from that contention and
strife that often prevails to the dis
paragement of the success of the
schools and the detriment of the
best interests of the cause of edu-
cation.
We are not entirely without this
spirit, however, and as all of us
are created free and equal with
certain rebelious traits in our ma
tions, we have the material for just
as bitter district quarrels as any
that have yet occurred. With firm
conviction of the Importance of OBJ
tanning a liberal education and a
knowledge Of the environments of
the avarage country pupils, OBJ
tanned from actual experience. l
am prompted to state that life is
too short and more especially our
school days to allow any trivial
matter to interfere with the wei
fare of that institution which is the
foundation of the republic-the
common school.
I earnestly entreat school officers,
patrons and teachers under whose
notice this report may come, not
to allow petty disputes and differ
ences of opinion to abata your zeal
for such an important and worthy
cause, but let us unite our efforts
in promoting the efficiency Of the
schools.
Respectfully submitted,

CO. Supt. of Schools.

Mrs. Conway's Reception.

A very pretty social function was
the afternoon reception given last
Thursday by Mrs. John G. Conway al
her home. 702 Sixth street. The APP
pointmvnts were complete and in rare
good taste, and the scene which met
the eye of the arriving guest was not
alone delightfully."- beautiful, but at
tractively unique. With the blinds
drawn and artificial light supplied
from soft-shaded lamps, the rich fur
nishings and general elegance of the
interior were shown to advantage,
while the profuse floral adornments
lent an inviting fragrance and charm.
A predoninance of different flowers
was noted in the decorations of each
department, while the California
trailer was festooned from every avail
able place and palms and begonias
were stationed in the hooks and cor
ners.
Assisting Mrs. Conway in receiving
were Mesdames c.. r. Field, Edward
j. Brandt and w. F. Whyte. The
dining room, where delicious refresh
ments were dispensed, was presided
over by Mesdames j. B. Murphy and
Edward May. The Misses Abbie Full
Ter, Selma Schempf, Jennie Evans,
Laura Skinner, Jennie Kusel and
Birdie Habhegger served and also at
tended to the punch bowl. The fol-
lowing little misses acted as ushers:
Eugenia Brandt, Glare Herman,
Edna May and Virgie HOFFMAN,.
During the reception hours over one
hundred guests paid their respects to
the hostess, who proved herself most
charming entertainer. An excellent
musical program, rendered by some
of the city's leading talent, lent an
appreciable and pleasing diversity to
an occasion characterized by the most
delightful congeniality, sociability and
enjoyment
