clal. County superintendent oil
Schools Christensen has Just pre-
pared and is about to put into prac.
tlce new and unique system of coun-
try-sehooI regulation and Inspection,
the first Of the kind in the educational
history Of Wisconsin, A number of
questions touching directly the man
agement and discipline Of the school
VIII be sent TO every member of the
school board Of each school district in
the county and answers requested.
he questions are such as to call the
directors attention to the necessity Of
visiting the schools frequently and
will have the effect of directing their
! attention as well as that OF the teach
er to matters which they would not
otherwise be likely to notice. The
system cannot help but result in
vast Improvement in the country
school. The school directors are not
demanded to visit the schools, nor is
the teacher demanded to remedy evils
that may exist, but the questions are
sent III hope that they may be helpful
in observing the work OF the teacher
and cannot help but result in a closer
relation between board, school and
teacher, and correction, naturally,
OF any faults that may exist. Follow
ing are the questions that will be sent
out:
Has the school property been in
iured TO any extent this term?
Are hats, caps and wraps found on
heiloor?
Is the schoolroom kept clean2
Has the teacher made any attempt
to decorate the schoolioom?
Are the pupils quiet and stu dious?
d. they move quietly and promptly
to ana from the classes?
Ate they very noisy in he school
1t recess and al noon?
When school calls do the pupils
come directly into the house and at
once take thcir seats?
% the pupils give close attention
to what The teacher says?
v hen hearing 4 recitation does the
teacher ask questions and let anyone
or 10 one answer Just as it may nap
pen?
Does the teacher keep an eye on
the rest of the school while hearing a
class
While hearing class does the
teacher allow pupils to come often to
him with questions
Ale the black boards in good condi-
tion2
Are the outhouses kept clean?

nator Of the so-calIcd travelling teach

ties with view to IDS adoption
Formerly the institutes for this coun
81 were already held in this city and
th3 attendance was small, but accord
ing to the new system the institute
IS shifted about the county from one
place to another, so that the benefits
Of the Institutes reach much larger

greater interest in school work. This
