THE bill is in no sense intended

1t should not be turned over to the

reason why boxing contest should
not be so clean that an man would
be willing to take his wife or daugh-

by making the sheriff of the county

sary the school house should be
painted on the outside and painted
or papered on the inside. Nothing
adds so much to the preservation
or the appearance of school proper
ty as keeping it well painted out
side and in. 1t is real economy on
the part of the Board to keep the
houses and fences we'll painted. 1t
also renders the school property
more clearly and slightly.
4 The weeds should be cut from
the school yard, raked up, hauled
off and burned. All rocks and other
forms of litter should be removed
from the school yard. Fences, walks
and steps should be repaired where
necessary.
5. Supplies. The Board should
supply crayon and erasers before
the opening of school. In many
cases you will find that the erasers
are worn out. and only the wood
part is left. This scratches on the
boards making noise and injuring
the boards. A water cooler should
be supplied and installed in the
room if this has not already been
done.
6. Reports. The attention of the
board is called to the school law
which provides that the teacherss
monthly report should be made out
and filed with the Clerk before the
monthly salary warrants are to be
drawn, the teacher also will send
monthly reports to me- Also,.the
last monthly salary warrant should
not be drawn before the teachers
Term report is made out in dupli-
! cate, one copy filed with the dis
trict clerk and the other filed with
the County Superintendent and re-
ceipted back to district clerk by
him.
7. School Board Meetings. 1t is
recommended that the School Board
meet at the school house on the
last Friday in each month. This
will be a very convenient time for
meeting. The Board can observe
the management and progress of
the school, and can legally allow
the teachers salary and any other
bills due and necessary to be paid.
The school law makes it the duty of
the Board to visit the school and

To the School Boards OF Monroe
County,

NUuHly'
My Dear Sirs: There are several
matters to which / desire to call
your attention, and the attention of
your patrons concerning the open
ing of school for the coming term.
Please have a meeting of the school
board and discuss these things as
soon as possible.
/. Drinking Water. 1t is Of su-
preme importance to have pure
drinking water for the convenience
and health of the school. There
should be a good we'll or cistern at
each school in the county. Impure
water is the prolific source of fevers.
The Board should have the well or
cistern cleaned out if necessary. 1t
should have a cover over it to pre-
vent foreign substances from get
ting into the water. | hope that
the Board will also provide a closed
water vessel for the school room.
This will keep the dust out of the
water, and prevent the dipping of
cups into the water supply.
2. Clean Up Day" l suggest
that every school in the County set
paEt-SataEdsyr Sept zth,- las clean
up day. ifyou have not already had
such day. At 9 o'clock the teacher,
school board, patrons and pupils
should meet at the school and clean
up the house, yard and outbuildings
preparatory to opening the work for
the year. The floor should be
scrubbed before the opening of
school. The Board should have
this done, but the windows and
desks should be wsshed. desks and
chalk trays cleaned out, broken
window panes replaced, and the
yard cleaned of weeds and rocks.
Everything should be done to put
the school house and premises in a
neat. wholesome and healthful con-
dition for the opening of school
The teacher should see that few
nice pictures in frames are hung on
the walls
8. Paint. There are some things
which the school board should at
tend to before the opening of school
Sept. End. First, as has been men,
toned above the floor of the school
