Andrew Eisinga. Of Niles school
No. SO, is the first to receive a
Library Award certificate. Five
small certificates are required for
an Award certificate.
Of the eight schools visited last
week, the superintendent would
like tc speak definitely of the
splendid work being done in each
but space will not permit.
Drake school, No. 50, raised
1913 Is with a shadow social last
week. These funds have been
used to purchase an organ. Miss
Elizabeth Wagner who has charge
of thes school is dong very Gre
ditatle work.
State Supt. Ustrud will meet
the school officers, teachers and
patrons OF the county in Tyndall
on December 4th. Mr. Ustrud
will speak on the Public school
and Its Surroundings, This lee
tufed will be illustrated with ste
roptican views. MIR. Ustrud is
heart and soul IN the work of i'm
proving the schools, especially
those OF the rural districts, and it
is needless to say that he will
have a living message for every
patron, school officer and teacher.
Hit district, No. DO, is plan
ming to replace its old desks with
new single ones. This is a wise
action and will not only add much
to the appearance of the school
room but will aid greatly in the
matter of discipline and add great
ly to the efficiency OF the school
as pupils study much better when
seated separately. A new coat of
paint inside and new shades have
done much to improve the appear
ance of this school room, and by
her deep interest and skillful
handling Of the work, Miss Bessie
Gardner is doing much for the
pupils of this school.
Miss Mary Hvizdalek, teaching
in Valley View school, No. 8, has
the best pictures we have yet seen
in a school -oom. The board of
this district has done much to aid
the teacher in making the appear
ances of this school room and sur
roundings very pleasing. A new
floor, a coating of white elsbast;ne
on the walls, newly painted wood
work %insise, and a new coat of
paint on all the buildings are a.
mong the improvements made du
ring vacation. The work in this
school is fully up to the appear
ance of the surroundings.
Among Improvements to be no.
ted in other schools are: Hornstra
No. 4s, newly painted woodwork
thruout, new doors, bookcase and
stove; Logterman, No. 6, papered
walls, painted ceiling and wood
work, and new windows "a book
case is ordered); Perkins, No. IS.
painted ceiling, new stove, and
slate blackboard.
The mitcarriage of a box of
books shipped from Chicago in
August has prevented the distribu
ton of the library books before
this. Tine lost books have been
found at last and the library books
are now ready for distribution.

were exchanged in a brief moment,
and General Henderson was left to see
