into the reason for any low marks, es-
pecially red ones. Do not lay all the
blame on the teachers.
According to chapter 253, laws of
1909, it is the duty of each city superin-
tendent to attend annually one eonven-
ton held by the state superintendent.
Last Thursday and Friday, State
Superintendent Cary conducted the sec
ond annual convention at Madison.
Superintendent Loveland attended and
reports a very profitable meeting. The
time was spent in discussing the prac-
ticsl problems of school administration.
Professors Judd and Mann, of the Chr
cage University, were present and gave
very excellent talks. David Felmley,
president of the Normal, Ill.,, Normal
school, and many of our own state edu-
Gators added to the interest of the
meeting. The convention was not a
large one as there are but CT city sup
erintendents in the state.
1t may be of interest to know just
how the schools are divided in regard
to this question.
There are three classes of schools in
the state. First there are the large
cities that have both city superinten-
dent and high school principal. Then
there are cities that have city super
intandcnt, who is also high school prin-
cipal, as GAINESVILLE, Mineral Point and
Monroe. Then there are cities that
have high school principal who super
vises the grades. This last class of
cities remain under the supervision of
the county superintendent. In the last
class are found the larger number of
schools of the state.
High School Inspector Terry of the
state superintendent office visited our
high school last Wednesday.
The following letter received a few
days later will be of interest:
Il am in receipt of the report of
Inspector Terry of his visit to your high
school on Oct. 5th.
The report is very favorable. The
INSPECTOR considers the school in excel
lent condition and has neither sugges-
tions nor unfavorable criticism to call
to your attention. He notes, however,
that the enrolment has nearly reached
aint at which the services of anoth-
err assistant will be required in order to
prevent the classes from becoming UNI
duly large. 1t is probable, however,
that this assistant will not be needed
for the present year.
The school is we'll equipped and the
building is one of the best kept IN the
state, in the point OK cleanliness, free
dom from defacements and the general
attractiveness which comes from such
conditions.
Mr.. Terry states that faculty meet
ing was held after school at which var
ious matters relative to the manage
ment and the work were discussed.
Further comment accordingly is unnec-
essary. / am pleased to receive SO
favorable report.
Yours truly,
=. +. CAk1,
State Superintendent. "
