BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS.
By County superintendent P. NJ. Allison.

School was not called until rather
late and we did not get to see as
much work rs usual. Ii is very
doubtful ii this practice of waiting on
pupils is a good one in as much as il
tends TO encourage continuation OF
this practice and those present Shocd
have the benefit of the iull time. The
teacher and pupils seem TO take good
interest i'm their work and in most
ways the school is very satisfactory.
Over at Enterprise, in Charlotte
township, the teacher had pupils give
quotations and every pupil was ready
and responded when called. The
pupils are very quiet and orderly
about their work and responded with
good will to the test given. Miss
Blanche Burns of Rich Hill is teacher
and is doing excellent work, ChaS,
Crosswhte spelled all the words
given.
At Belmont they have a very large
a. class Of pupils all doing good
work and preparing 10 take county
graduation. They responded well to
all work given them and made agood
showing, They sang one OF their
school songs for us and made our
stay with them a most pleasant one.
The teacher, Prof, McMichael will
enter the Normal at WarrenSbarg as
soon as his school closes, Mr. Nc
Michael has the tight spirit and is one
of our best teachers,
Over at Grandview they were taxi
ing examination and we are pleased
to say they did not have TO change a
question, showing that they are fol-
lowing the course OF study without
trouble, The pupils were not given
a test as in most schools but all work
left for them has been sent in and IS
correct, In this school Olive Judy
Una Judy ond Elsie Engclhardt spell
ed all the words.
Victory school, in Homer township,
and Liberty, in West Point were not
in session.
Over at johnson the work was
moving very nicely and the pupils
are taking good interest in the work.
This is one of the schools that has
but few pupils but they are willing
workers and have sent in all work
left for them to do. Miss George
Wallace is teacher and is doing some
exceptionally fine work in drawing.
At Amoret they are having an eY-
cepionally good school and the work
is good in all the rooms. Mrs. Stew
art has the most orderly primary
room visited All the pupils in this
school responded to their work very
readily and sent in the work Left for
them to do. The Board shave respond
ed to the suggestions made by me
concerning improvement and have
made one other recommendation
which | hope they will take up. This
school scould put in more high school
work next year.
Over at Mulberry they have a large
enrolment and a good attendance.
The people are well pleased with the
school and teacher and as result CO.
operate with the teacher in making
their school the best possible. Prof.
JAS PahIman IS teacher and is doing
good work. He found his school in
a very much disorganized condition
but he is doing all he can to leave
them in better condition than he
found them. 1t is not necessary to
say he is succeeding.
AT Crooks school in Charlotte, the
pupils have decided to change the
name of their school and call il Olive
Branch. This is very good name
and we are glad they made the
change. Their attendance here is moi
as good as in some schools but those
who do attend are willing workers
They have done all work left for then
to do
AT Plain View every pupil wa.
present and the attendance has beer
unusually good all the year. Miss
Alvena Maddy is teacher and is doing
good work. She has taught here fol
several years and the board will de
well to keep her as long as they can
The pupils are dilligent and RESPOND
with good will to all work.
Over at Concord, in EIkhait town
