Hartford at the regular July examina-

The education rally held at Beaver
Dam last week the board of education
took active measure to give Supt.
Coates a suitable reception. Miss Den
Woodward had charge of the decora-
ton of the schlo hall. Special hand
bills were struck and scattered over
the city. Every business house was
closed DR.. S. ID. Taylor presided at
the meeting and introduced the
speaker. Miss Mary Stewart furnish
ed instrumental music. A fairly re-
preventative audience including many
out of town teachers were present to
greet the speaker. 1t was a success
full meeting in every sense of the word
and special thanks are due to the
members of the Board of education
for the preparations and interest
shown in the meeting.
Supt. Coates was unable to attend
the educational rally at Centertown.
His place was supplied by Prof. S. p.
Mckinney and Rev. Pendland. Prof.
Jackson and the school board had
made extensive preparations to enter
tain Supt. Coates and furnish him
an appreciative audience and it was
regretted very much that he was I'M
able to be present. However the local
speakers furnished amply repaid those
who attended the meeting. The pre-
parations and the audience speak very
encouragingly for the new graded
school at Centertown.
Rockport gave Supt. Coates a rep
resentative audience and a most res
pectful hearing. All business houses
were closed and every representative
citizen was present Special credit TO
the success of the meeting is due
Prof McKenney and the local board.
Prof. V. NJ. Crowder and other teach
ers associated with him had made prep
arations for the entertainment of Supt.
Coates at Horse Branch but on accoun
of the illness at Fordsville he could
not be present and the audience made
up of teachers and many others intre-
ested in the cause of education was
disappointed.
The citizens of Cromwell met Supt.
Coates at Beaver Dam. conveyed him
to Cromwell, furnished him a splen-
did audience not outstanding it was
rainy night, entertained him and re-
turned him to Beaver Dam.

educational gatherings over the coun-
ty and the interest manifested in
them, the superintendent desires to
express his sincere thanks to the va
rious teachers and boards of educa-
ton who contributed to make them
successful.
