mission.

Pursuant to the call Of the County Super
i~ntendent, B. p. B~urnham, the Iron County
Text Book Commission held a business
meeting at the superintendent Office, Au-
gust 9, 1917.
The Board was unanimous in recommend
ing the list of Missouri Pupils Reading Cir
Gle Books, which has been issued under the
direction of the State Teachers Reading
Circle.
We were further unanimous in suggesting
that each grade of your school make itself
familiar with at least two of the volumes rec
commended for the grade.
The Board further suggests that Current
E0enb is good, wholesome reading, and will
have the tendency to keep your pupils
abreast Of and create interest in the doings
of the day.
We further suggest that there should be
five copies of our D4m6 4Himah in the Ii
brary of each and every district of the
county.
We would suggest that each teacher read
some journal most nearly adapted to the
work in which he or she is most strongly
engaged,
The commission formulated a draft of a
program for the County Teachers Assoc ia
ton to held at I~ronton, August 31-Sep-
TENDER I'd.
There being no further business the ,com-
mission adjourned, subject to the call Of
the County Superintendent.

sionalIy for a few minutes. 1t will
never develop any horns. We
have tried this experiment per-
sonally on a large number of
calves, seen them drink immedi-
ately after IL as if nothing had
happened and watched them grow
up hornless cattle. Anyone who
has witnessed the dehorning of
mature animals can not imagine a
farmer or a dairyman allowing his
young stock to be neglected till it
becomes necessary to subject them
to such an ordeal, when at no ex-
pense and in so painless a way
the development of the horn may
be stopped at its very beginning"

Oklahoma, the past week, and re-
ports himself and family, and Ben

finely. On July 3tst the train
John was running was ditched and
seven cars and the caboose left

bankment about thirty feet. No
one was hurt. He writes he will
visit us in September.

The typhoid fever is prevalent
throughout Missouri. According
to DR.. F. B.. Miller, secretary Of
the State Board of Health, the cpl
demic is due, he thinks, to the
long drouth and the reduction of
the water supply. Flies are the
disseminatorsaof typhoid and he
cautions the people against per-
hitting them to infest the home.
One having the typhoid fever
should be safe guarded from the
rest of the family. The windows
of the sick room should be SCREEN
ed and the one having are of the
patient should exercise due meas
ures in disinfecting all bedding,
linen. dishes, etc., with which the
patient comes in contact. DR..
Tony says that all drinking water
should be boiled before using.

of the Cape Girardeau Normal,
with a number of years expert
ence in teaching, five years in the
High Schools at Flat River, which
is one of the best High Schools in
Southeast Missouri, and with a
year and a half of professional
training at the State University of
Missouri, receiving his degree
from that institution this year,
will, without doubt, thoroughly
qualify him to perform the duties
that he is underta
Prof. Loomis' assistant in the
High School will also be a gradu-
ate of the State University.
After making a canvas of the
Ironton district | find that there
will be about $4,000 taken out of
this district alone, to send pupils
away to some preparatory school,
so they can qualify themselves to
enter some higher institution of
learning. BY placing an assistant
in the High School department we
will be able to accommodate all
such pupils in the county.
Before making preparations to
SEND your children away to school
it would be well for you to con-
suit with Prof. Loomis of the
Ironton public school or the
County Superintendent in regard
to the work that will be given
here this year. The work outlined
for this year will be equal to the
work that you will get in any 9TH
er High School in the State.
Every prospective teacher and
every eighth grade graduate in the
county, should enter some good
High School this year, for after
this year the teachers of Missouri
are required to have the High
School requirements and there
will be no better or cheaper place
to get your educational training
than here in the Ironton public
school.
The board is in hearty cooper
alton with this move to increase
the efficiency and usefulness of
our school, and will spare ne pains
in making the necessary arrange
ments in providing accommoda-
tions for outside pupils who de-
sire to enter our school.
The schools of Iron county are
maintained for the purpose of ed
ucating your boys and girls and
we are using every possible effort
to make them better; therefore, we
need and expect the hearty CO.
operation Of every citizen in the
county in securing the best re-
suits. I am,
Very respectfully,
B. p. BURNHAM.
