Annual R port Of District 81.

The following is the annual report
of school district No. "a:
Term opened October 26, 1904,
closed March 81, 1905. Length of
term in weeks %, in days 110. Num-

After seven consecutive years of
school work in Barton Co., (two as a
student and five as a teacher) 1 now
step out of~the school room to seek
other relations.
Occasionally may the teacher pause
to reflect. especially is this true when
all of a sudden he anchors in that
great sea of oblivion and realizes that
his voyage is at an end.
For him in such moment the sun
and south wind may strive in vain to
make enticing pictures upon the play
full eddies of educational progress.
1 have had the pleasure of at
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1905-04-14

tempting to instruct 153 of Barton
county's youths.
During the five years 1 have formed
many pleasant associations and spent
many happy hours which will stand
as oasis upon the desert of life.
l congratulate the schools of Bar
ton Co., on the rapid strides they are
making in educational work and the
effective work they are doing.
1 have an abiding faith in any force
which tends to elevate our rural
schools and communities. 1t follows
naturally that the creation of a uni
versal citizenship by means of a
universal education must be by the
more equalization of educational ad-
vantages between the cities and rural
districts. Whatever force therefore
contributes to widen the limits which
timid fear and selfish dispositions has
thus far ignored, deserves to he
animated by the very force which
tender to fix around the teeming brain
or restless activities of man.
