requests are constantly COM

and the State Supt. ~ Schools
thinks they will be ready for
distribution about Nov. The re-
vised laws do not go into effect
until then
As soon as the supply for this
Office is received will matt copies
to teachers and School officials.
The important changes will be
taken up and discussed at our
August meeting.

ed Sept. 4th as Clean Up Day =
It is hoped that the people wilt 90
out in their respective districts
and see that every thing is put in
readiness for school The walls
and Getting Of the room should be
well busted, the floor scrubbed,
and the desks carefully cleaned.
and where there was any con
tagious disease in the school last
year the room should be fumigat
ed. This can be done by using
sulphur candles. They are not
expensive and any one can use
them. The drinking water
should b looked after also.
During the summer vacation the
water has remained stagnant and
in many cases is not hit for use.
Where possible the water should
be drawn ont and a fresh supply
furnished. II this cannot be
done, a very satisfactory way Of
purifying the water is 10 pur-
chase at the drug store a small
amount Of permanganate OF potas

know how 10 use as il will be
thoroughly explained incur Aug

should be pat in good repair and

HELPED THE BOYS.
A Letter That Aroused King Christian
Of Denmark.

A Letter That Aroused King Christian
Of Denmark.
King Christian Of Denmark once
found In his morning mail a letter
which moved him more than did most
matters Of state. The letter was In 4
boyish scrawl and read as follows:
Dear King-We are four boys at Flax
kebjerb school, and the master whips W
daily with piece Of steel rope he found
in the harbor. II he doesn't stop there
will be q fire.
The name Of the teacher being given,
the king ordered him to report at once
to the minister Of justice, while he
took the next train for Flakkebjerb
and examined the class In the teachers
absence. The children, unawed by the
presence Of the cruel teacher, told their
grievance to the kindly old king, who
promised immediate relief, closed the
school for the day and ordered that the
boys be treated to chocolate and cakes
at his expense ito remember him BY"
But he did more than that On re-
turning to Copenhagen he dismissed
the cruel teacher without pension, at
the same time giving a general warn
ing to all teachers to be chary Of cor
poral punishment. If boys cannot be
trained without cruel beat1ngs," this
wise king said, then there must be
something the matter with those who
train them. The coming generation
must not be made rufhans by ruf1anly
teachers"

IMPORTANT

RESOLVE ON IMPORTANT
MATTER.

At the recent meeting of the state
educational association the nigh
school section passed a resolution
in favor of reducing the eight
constants to- four as follows, three
years If Ensi;en AMI a half year Of
United States history and onc-aa'f
year of civ;:, This will cut cut an
cient history, algebra, plane geometry
and phys'cs. rs required branches.
and will give opportunity for intro
ducing commercial branches and
manuel training. The high
schools have been managed largely
as feeders for the university and the
courses unsuitable for preparing
pupils for every day life. The high
school men took this action after
mature elaboration. -
The high school superintendents de
feated a resolution looking to state
uniformity in text books.
The association also voted in favor
of an October or. November meeting
as in many other states. -. ,
