County School Notes:

The superintendent of e-Child.
ren's Home at Sioux Falls is sending
out requests for help in the way of
donations. The Home is doing a
splendid work for the citizenship of
the state aud should have hearty and
substantial encouragement from every
able citizen. We suggest that the
teachers iuaugurate II movement ii
their respective schools for the purpose
of raising some funds for the little
homeless children who are without
loving and trustworthy parents. The
lesson of giving freely to such worthy
causes is one that should be taught
without fail.
There are thirty-five children in the
Home at the present time, six of these
are tiny babes from three weeks to
two months old.
The large amount of substantial and
practical work that is being done upon
the roads of the county is a matter of
very pleasant concern to those who
must travel much, The commissioners
and road supervisors should receive the
hearty commentator of all public
spirited citizens.
Compliments have come to this Office
lately from several sources that
certain teachers spend much time in
school writing letters. OF course it is
needless to state that every teacher
must know that this sort of thing is
entirely out of place in the school
room and it is hoped that o n will
be so needless of their real duties as
to persist in this practice.
A new organ, a - inch globe, a
full set of maps and a large dictionary
and stand are among the appliances
added to Andrns school lately. The
grounds close to the build ding have
been graded up in such a way as to
improve the appearance very much and
add, also, to the comfort of pupils and
teacher.
In IA number of school houses the
stove has been moved to the north and
west part of the room and a jacket
placed around it. This makes a much
more convenient arrangement as it
allows the pupils to be seated in a
more compact body and gives greater
facilities for heating the room in com
] Portable and healthful manner.
Mr.. George Selke, of Sank Rapids,
/ Mimi. who taught two very successful
terms of school in this county, has
been elected county superintendent Of

energy and ability he displayed while
here he should be able to fill that
| Office with credit to himself and to his
county.
