is poor treatment. Every boy who
is from fourteen to eighteen should
be in school at least during Novem-
Der, December, January, February
and March. The farm work should
be SO arranged. That it can be, is
demonstrated in some country
schools by the presence of the pu-
pills who do attend one hundred or
more days. am meeting today
hundreds of people who tell me they
we're robbed of their birthright
when they were between those
ages mentioned above.
LONGER TERMS GROWING MORE POPULAR
There are now organized in this
county one hundred eight (108)
school districts. OF this number,
for the next year, there have been
voted as follows: Twenty districts
are to have nine months; ffty-eight
are to have eight months; nineteen
are to have seven months; eight are
to have six months; and one five
months. It is impossible to do
even good simple English work in
a five months school. Nor can
good teachers be had for such
schools. Good teachers want eight
or nine month schools. They won t
take seven month schools. The re-
port from this district which last
year voted five months of school
shows that there was an average
personal attendance of only fifty
six days. The large boys and girls
attended only forty days. Can such
a school do good work? It is need
less to say such school is poor.
It's very poor.
ACADEMIC FITNESS AND SALARIES.
Thirty-nine teachers last year
were normal school graduates;
forty-nine were high school gradu-
ates and seven were college gradu-
ates. In the wholeconnty there were
sixty-six teachers who held state
first grade certificate or higher
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1904-09-21

qualifications. The males received
on an average $50 plus, per month;
the females, $40 plus. All teachers
with first grade certificates IN rural
schools received from $40 to $50
per month. The higher salaries
paid has had a strong tendency to
put teaching on a more professional
basis. The teacher with a third
grade certificate or more properly
speaking, permit, is nearly weed
ed out. A few trustees still insist
on getting In ''our niece or ''our
neighbor son or daughter to
teach this one term, that she may
earn her wedding outfit.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

There have been built and are
now in process of building, six new
school buildings in this county.
All Of these are modern in form.
There are provisions for lighting,
heating and ventilation. Nearly all
are furnace heated, nearly all have
good, well-built easements. I have
often thought how few schools there
are in the country which provide
any means of industrial training
for boys and girls. Here in these
easements the bottoms could be ce-

put in and work rooms could, in
this way, be established. Simple
industrial work and experiments in
agriculture could be taught the
pupils. Good men teachers could
be induced to enter these schools,
especially if they were consolidated
township graded schools.
SCHOOL YARD DECORATIONS.
Not very much, outside the city
and villages, has been done to beau
tify school grounds. In the fall
many schools will open with IN
moved and uDraked school grounds.
The outbuildings will be implanted,
doors off the hinges, and the
"shacks" themselves totally unfit
for use. No one seems to think it
worth while to care for these condi-
tons, which / call down pushers OF
morals. / have often wondered
why it is SO true as it is. The
school yards should be the beauty
spots of the district. Here all
should meet occasionally to see
what shall be done for the children's
welfare. An old shack of build
ing, neglected school grounds. and
dilapidated out-houses should not
be teachers of carelessness to the
pupils. But they are; they make
the future careless, lawless boy and
woman, because they teach indiffer-
ence and neglect. a few districts
have set pace, a high moral one,
too, which ought to wake up other
districts to do similarly.
ARBOR DAY.
Not much have we accomplished
in tree planting on school grounds.
A few districts have done some
thing. Every school ground ought
to have a dozen or two good trees
planted on them. They should not
be willow, cottonwood or soft
maple, but the ash, elm and posi-

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

y
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
There is nothing new to report,
save that there were more pupils
between the ages of eight and six
teen who attended sixty or more
days, (the number of days which
the law says these pupils must ar
tend), than there were in the year
l902-O3. In the rural schools of
this county there were enrolled last
year two thousand four hundred five
q, 405) pupils between the ages of
eight and sixteen years. OF this
number two thousand seven (2,0cD
attended sixty or more days. But
this leaves three hundred ninety
eight (398) who did not attend
sixty days. What were they doing
that they did not? 1t is a rare
school where the boys and girls
who are sixteen years of age get
into school before November; many
do not enter before Dec. 1st; few
not until Jan. 1st. They are then
out OF school by March 1st for spring
work. Such conditions for the
country boy and girl are poor. 1t
is clear robbery of his birthright.
Every boy and girl in this age is
entitled to good school and full
freedom to attend it. To attend on
average OILY two or three days
