speak. Why wait until they are be
yond the eigth grade until this oppor-
tunity is given2 There is training
that comes from work of this kind that
cannot be gotten in regular school work
Then again there was the Baseball
Spelling Match. Why not have
more of those in the city, Also have
them lower down in the grades Spell
ing should be largely mastered in the
sixth grade, that is, the spelling habit
should be formed there. In the country
schools we have found some of our best
spoilers in the Middle Form, which takes
in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades.
Here is where spelling should be empha.
sized strongly. In order to accomplish
this result the contest idea is an excel.
lent one. Let the Fifth grade challenge
the Sixth to spelling match on some
Friday afternoon. Have some music
and few recitations with this and you
have a good program. Let the children
invite their parents. Nothing elaborate
need be prepared Little programs could
be given in the city schools very fre-
quently and in this way there would be
greater incentives for the children to be
come perfect in the great fundamentals.
More thoroughness in the fundamentals
is as essential in the city as in the coun
try. Finally, more of these exercises
would draw the people nearer together.
1t is safe to say that there are many peo
pie in the city who have not been inside
the school house. By getting them in
to the school building for some little ex.
ercise there would be taken more ac-
tive interest in the progress of the child
operate to a greater extent and the ad
vaucement of the child would be the re
suit.
Are the people OF the county taking
an interest in their school is ques
tion that is sometimes asked One way
to determine this is to find ont what ex.
tent they turn ont whenever there is
something doing over at the school
house. Programs of various kinds are
very common throughout the county.
These programs are usually prepared by
the children for their parents During
the year that is just closing the county
superintendent has been present at a.
bout 40 of these programs Saying that
an average of 50 grown people attended
each program is putting it low. That
means that at these 40 programs at
least 5000 people heard the children
speak. 1t is also safe to say that the
superintendent did not attend one fifth
of the programs and reports have been
brought in that these other programs
were just as we'll attended, which means
that during the past year there has been
an aggregate of about 10000 people
present, (some persons of course going
to several programs. Are people in
terested in the schools

The Graded Schools have had their
commandments and they have been
good. Newtonburg and Branch closed
June 3, the former graduating a class
of five and the latter class of eight
pupils. These two schools have course
of eight grades. Mshicot had its com
mencement June 5 and graduated q
class of eleven pupils. This school has
course of nine grades. Reedsville has
ten grades or course equivalent to half
of the High School. Four completed
the tenth grade this year.
The commencement exercises of these
schools are of a character that would do
credit to schools of higher rank. The
students show that they have been
trained to do things Pupils going ont
from these schools rank smong the
best when they enter other schools.
The people of the districts where these
schools are located have an opportunity
to educate their children that can scarce
ly be equalled anywhere. If the child
rem are entered at q reasonable age and
go to school regularly so rs to keep up
with their classmates and do the work
thoroughly, tney cannot help getting a
thorough education. Put along with
this school training good home and
proper surroundings and conditions are
almost ideal

work along certain lines. Any of this
work that is ready can be brought in at
any time. Any creditable display will
bring to that school a picture as a pre-

There is good program. Season tickets
are two dollars EACH and admit to all
lectures concerts, and entertainments
1t is an opportunity which all people
should make use of as these programs
are not only entertaining but instrul =
tive. There is much to be learned from
these talks. Teachers who are 80 stu
ated as to be able to attend portion of
this session may send in their names to
the county superintendent if they wish
TO order season tickets.
Last Friday and Saturday the dedica-
tory exercises of the addition to the
Luling School were held. They were well
attended and the programs were good.
In connection with the exercises there
was an exhibi. of the work done in
school, The Manual Training Exhibit
was especially good in that it calls at.
tention to what can be done in training
the hand for the duties of life.
In connection with these exercises
there are several features which are
worthy of special commentator. First
of these is that it brings into prominence
the work of the elementary schools-the
grades. In the cities, as rule, there is
not enough attention paid to the grade
work The High School has its con.
tests its special program, it's commence
ments; but the first eight grades, which
are by far the most important, are very
seldom brought TO public notice. 1t is
in the grades that the greater portion Of
the city population get their education,
comparatively few finish the high school
course. Exercises OF this kind where
the grades appear before the people are
therefore especially good and there
should be mole Of them.
In the second place exercises like these
give the pupils Of the grades an oppor-
tunity to get up before an audience to
