choOl Boards and Teachers:

Each and every new year bring up
on us new responsibilities. Among
these are the,duties dsvolvins upon
school boards and teachers as to
their work in the coming year.
Whether it will be better and keep
pace with the advancement and
pfOgress made in other lines of hu-
man activities depends largely upon
the interest taken in our work and
the amount Of time and thoueht
put into it. Not only must the
teacher plan to do more efficient
work in the coming year. but school
boards should use every effort in
doing their part in the great bust
ness in which we are engaged, and
in which every father and mother
having children are especially in
terested. We should advise with
our teachers as to the health and
general comfort of the children. See
that our buildings are properly
heated and also ventilated, This
is very important as so many of
our school houses are not ventilat.
ed at all, and consequently our
children are starved for the neces-
sary supply of fresh air. (Air that
will make them feel fresh.) Just
now a seemingly epidemic Of coughs
are greatly reducing the attendance
Of our rural schools, due solely to
the cause of no fresh air supply to
