Minutes of School Board.
MLadlson. IA. Ang. B. /

A SuD-dlslrict election was order.
ed he'd at Pinetta on August Sist.
A. A. Wellington, J a. Gray and
John c. Cody were appointed
managers Of said election.
The Superintendent was authoriz-
ed to purchase a typewriter for use
in the office.
Prof. w. B. Cate, presented re-
quest from The w. G. T. U. that
they be allowed to hold defamation
contests in the schools OF the county
and present a gold medal to the win.
ner in each school. On motion their
request was granted.
Owing 10 the fact that the ex-
animation will begin on the first
Tuesday in September the next meet
ing Of the Board will be held on
Mondsy, September 9th.
The Superintendent presented the
following annual report which was
adopted:
The Scholastic yea- 19OS-1909
has been a success in spite of the fact
that it was year Of business de-
preston. In the 80 white schools
there were enrolled 22O5 pupils an
increase over the previous year of
Il. The average attendance was
1888 an increase Of As over the
previous year.
In the 81 negro schools 1866 pu-
pills were enrolled with an average
attendance Of 21S9.
The school property Of the county
is now valued at approximately
100000 an increase OF nearly
$2O,OO0.00 or 100 per cent in the
past FIVE years.
The finances Of the School Board
are in splendid shape. During the
past year $40, 29C.69 were expended
for white schools, 81 ,630.12 for ne
gro schools and $S,O3l.7l for ex-
penses Of administration making
total Of spa, 952.52. There was
cash balance in the Treasury Of 81,
1890 on July lst. Owing to the
fact that we run so many schools in
summer it is necessary that we have
a good balance at the beginning of
the year,
We now have four sub districts,
The fourth being recently established |
at Lee, and the town Of Madison ,
supplements the salaries OF teachers
to the amount OF 100000 per year.
Our people seem slow to perceive the
benefits to be derived from these
districts as only 8 have been estab-
Gshed in the past four years. At the
same time ! believe our educational
progress will be judged in a measure
at least by The humber we now have
and the rapidIty with which Others
are established. l hope to see at an
early date every school in one Of
these districts which will lengthen
the term, supplement the salaries of
teachers, establish libraries, provide
better furniture and in many ways
provide for the comfort and well
being OF the pupils,
With very few exceptions the
school houses are modern and in
good repair. Where this condition
does not exist l believe the Board
stands ready to build as soon as local
conditions can be met. What we
most need at present is better furni-
ture for our schools. Some houses
are very well furnished and l recon.
mend that some plan be devised |
whereby a certain number of patent
desks can be bought each year until
all houses are suitably furnished,
=. also recommend that a commit |

any Christian sect; they take care of
their poor and needy without asking

ure segregated, it is because racial and

Socially, they foregather among them

edge; they glory in their history; they
have infinite faith in their traditions;
they practice their creed.
If God were worshipped in every

found between fifty and sixty pupils

UNION HALL.

This school was one of the prize
winners last year and is one of the
best small schools in the county.
Miss Lizzette Lowell is the teacher
this year and she is carrying on
very successfully the work started
by Miss Lottye Mason last year.
Miss Lowell is one of Lincoln coun-
tvs own girls and is a tireless
worker in her chosen field. She is
never satisfied with part achieve
ments, but is constantly pushing
forward toward better things.
BIG SPRINGS.
Miss Annie Webber is another
home girl and not one bit afraid OF
hard work. On my visit to her
school | found the floor spotlessIy
clean and when | asked her who did
the scrubbing she said, II did the
most of it, though some Of my pa
irons helped. If the neatness OF
a school room is any indication Of
the sort Of housekeeper young
woman will make. Miss Webber
bids fair to be a good one.
To me it seems exceedingly I'M
fortunate that some teachers have
never learned how important it is
to keep neat, tidy school room.
There is no excuse for papers and
dirt on the floor and the live, wide
awake teacher will see to it that
the school room is properly kept.
We are moulding men and women
in this country, and if they are to
be fine. loving, beautiful things,
they must have the right sort OF
surroundings. Many Of the chill
dren come from homes where things
are none too tidy and for this rea.
son it is all the more important fol
the teachers to make beautiful and
attractive the school rooms III
which the children spend anywhere
from FIVE to eight hours a day.
