COUNTY SCHOOL FATHERS
A LARGE CONVENTION OF OFFICERS
HERE LAST SATURDAY
Highly Interesting Gathering and Much
Good Work Started-List Of Those
Who We're Present


1t had very much the appearance of
an old-fashioned political convention,
that animation in Viroqua last Satur-
day. But it was another character of
gathering, assembling of more than
two hundred school officers from CEN
trail and western Vernon county, held
under auspices of state authority. At
eleven O'Clock the convention was called
to order by Superintendent Gardner,
who stated the purpose of the meeting.
He talked on sanitary conditions of
school houses and told of the precao-
items that should be observed to ward
against tuberculosis. The fountain or
individual drinking cup in schools and
public places was a move IN the right
direction.
Mr.. w. N. Coffiand spoke briefly on
duties of parents to their children, and
his address abounded in meaty sug-
gestions and could not fail TO make an
impression on the hearers.
Before close for dinner State In
spector Hunt talked informally and his
afternoon address covered an hour and
a half on the various phases of schools,
government, teachers, and the part
district officers should play in all fea-
lures of school management. II was
one of the most practical and helpful
addresses ever presented in this city.
Judge Mahoney was called for and
spoke briefly along general educational
lines.
Altogether the convention was one of
real value and demonstrated that the
law creating these annual meetings WAS
not a mistake.
