To the Honorable Board of Supervisors OF Iowa
County:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen. This opportun-
ity affords me the pleasure and honor OF pre-
seutiug my thire annual report OF the pubIlc
schools Of Iowa county. The year has been one
filled with opportunities to derive practical re-
suits in the schools and the cooperation of our
forces has made the work pleasant and
courapiup. This Honor a bic body. teachers.
patrons and children have been ever ready to
help Iowa county schools. The schools are not
undergoing hasty and poorly founded changes
but how steady and permanent growth. pro
gressive and practical. The schools are gradu-
ally replacing some of the things never used
outside Of the schoolroom by work done in real
life. More stress is placed on writing, home
geography, agriculture at nome and such other
branches the child may make the most use of.
The aim of our academic schools should be to
prepare children for life and not for higher edu-
ton for the few that go beyond rural high
schools.
