In a circular State Superintendent

district meetings tenders some excel
lent advice in relation to various mat
tiers connected with rural schools. 1t
is the common belief, he says tn
these schools are not improving much,
if amy. from yea to year. but this does
not apply to cv " school, though it
does apply 10 .nany schools he der

When we inquire into the causes, ~
he continues, we find that in many
school districts there is a feeling that
any kind of teacher will 10, and the
cheaper the better Everybody knows
that IL buying horse, fifty dollars
Will not purchase as good an animal
as one hundred dollars will buy. Yet
when Il comes 10 hiring a teacher
thoge are many people who think a
teacher is a teacher, and if one can
be had for twenty dollars q month It is
Just so much clea~ gain ever paying
fort, dollars a month Sometimes
school district officers boast about saw
ing the district FIVE or ten dollars a
month on teachers wages, when. as a

1922 Washington place.
White stationery is always elegant and
may be monogramed in white some
pretty color in delicate tints.
The address IS preferably placed IN the
upper left-hand corner of the envelope, and
not on the flap, as is done by some.
In travelling abroad, sometimes the for
egn address is engraved neatly in the lower
right-hand corner, but on resident calling
cards the address appears just under the
name.
If on an elegant scale such care IS neces-
sary. do not aggravate poor taste when a
limited amount can go for stationery. An
inferior paper in pure white IS much better
than pink and blue and lavender. which
only adds insult to injury. Don't have
elaborately scented paper. A delicate sug-
gestion of aromatic odor is pleasing.
