District No. 80, East Lake Lillian.

The school at Kandiy obi, which is
on the semi i'graded list, receives $240.
Supt Dobbyn informs us that the
semi-graded schools at Spicer and
Pennock will be in line for state aid
in the next apportionment and that
II or 16 rural schools will also be
added to the list. In this way Kandi.
yohi county will make quite q credit
able showing insthe 1904 appropria.
tion.
In the apportionment to high schools
of the state, the Willmar High school
has also received its share, amounting
to 81, $50. The voucher was received
by the board last week. t.
In this connection it may be OF in
terest to know that J. w. Olsen, stste
superintendent of public instruction,
has announced q new set of rules gov
erning state aid to semi-graded and
rural schools for the year ending Aug.
l, 1904. The rules are intended to raise
the standard of instruction, aud are
more strict than those of previous
years. Hereafter rural schools will
not receive. aid unless there" is an
average daily attendance of at least
twelve and unless books to the amount
Of SIS are added to the school annual
ly. Semigraded schools must pur-
chase S20 worth of books q year.
The application of each school must
show that it has maintained its stand
ard of efficiency, both in the char.
acter of the work and In the equip
ment, and that some Improvement has
been made during the year. The
school grounds must be kept neat and
clean, and present an orderly and at.
tractive appearance.
The teachers, from the beginning OF
and thru the school year, shall have
held the certificate required by law.
Aid will not be granted unless the
teachers hold the state certificate
designated, or those of higher rank.
The school building and each room
must be clean and we'll kept. Proper
provision must be made for heating
so that the heat is evenly distributed
without making any one part of the
room uncomfortably warm while an
other may be cold. This end can be
best attained either by steam or fur
mace heat; or, If stove is used, it
should be placed in one corner of the
room and enclosed by a sheet iron
jacket. A stove placed in the body
Of the room, and without any enclo-
sure, will not pe considered salts
factory means of heating the room.
A system of ventilation must be
provided, that will furnish a constant
supply of fresh air without causing
draft. Ventilation by only doors and
windows will be regarded as made
quate. Each room must be supplied
with sufficient blackboard space, slate
preferred. The school must have q
Webster's International dictionary.

Amount Of $2,502.

County Superintendent Dobbyn last
week received the vouchers from State
supt. Olsen for the semi-graded and
rural schools of Kandiyohi county &C.
credited as being entitled to partici-
pate in the apportionment of the state

of public schools. Nine rural schools

poetry. he suggested that the whole
school should learn at least one such
selection each term, not memorizing
from the book but repeating after the
teacher, learning q line or couple at q
time. This not only cultivates memory
but also cultivates attention.
The next on the program was to be
talk by Miss Grace Randall on the
subject Occupation W ork in the Lower
Grades" Miss Randall had, however,
been suddenly called out of town the
previous evening. Miss Lydia Beck,
First grade teacher in the Lincoln
school building, was asked to take up
tie subject, and without moments
pnsaration gave one Of the best talks
Of the session. It was all the more
interesting because she told not OF
what might, could, would or should be
done, but what she had actually done
in the school room along the lines
indicated in an outline prepared by
Miss Randall. Experience is always
more useful than theories, and when
presented so clearly as was done by
Miss Beck it becomes doubly valua BILE
to the teacher searching for practical
help in her work.
The afternoon session opened with
song by a quartette composed of
Mrs. TonniDg, Miss Florence Porter,
Prof. Tonning and Mr.. J. T. Otos.
Supt. P. G. Tonning of the Willmar
City schools read forcible paper on
'Influence of the Teacher in the School
and Community. "@ He said that
character development was of far
more Importance than the amount of
book learning acquired by the pupil,
and that the character of the teacher
would unconsciously influence the
character of the pupils. 1t was there.
fore the duty of the teacher to set the
pupils the best possible example in
conduct and habits.
County Superintendent Geo. G.
Borchardt of Lac qui Parle county
next gave an interesting talk on the
relations between teachers and school
officers and the duties of each. ae
made strong plea for Improvement
in schoolhouses and grounds.
After another song by the quartette
State Superintendent Olson again took
the floor. he emphasized the points
made by the preceding speakers, and
gave some valuable pointers on, heat
ing and ventilssing schoolhouses.
After some announcement by Supt
Dobbyn the meeting adjourned, all
feeling we'll satisfied with the work
done during the week, and especially
we'll pleased with the work in the joint
meeting. 49,.
