County School Notes.

Better schools square deal :
for the country boys and girls.
Why not9
What should be Of greater
worth and pleasure to men and
women than intelligent, indust-
rious, capable, well-bred sons and
daughtersl
Al modern heating plant has
been added to the equipment of
Quinn school. These add very
much to comfort and health of the
pupils, Several other school
boards are considering the pur-
chase of such plants.
The instructor who teaches
children instead of facts is teach
er. ...
The difference, between teacher
and school keeper is as great as
that between day and night.
Plattner school is one of the
first buildings which we have
noted to be well equipped with
screen door and window screens
the kind that will really keep ouS
the flies. The teacher of that
school says, 81 he best of it all is
I never even had to ask them.
Newly vanished desks and newly
painted walls and good woodwork
are among the other things which
attests to the interest this buard
has taken in its school.
Among other schools where
screens for the windows and doors
have been secured are NelIes,
Pflugraph, Nedved, Armstrong.
In the quality of neat and' tasty
decorations well kept school
room fine specimens Of busy work,
The Bon Homme County independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1904-1913, 1912-09-26

interested responsive busy pupils
and splendid teaching we have
rarely seen any which excels that
of Pflugraph school in charge of
Miss Alta Brown.
Bambas school bears the distinc-
tion of having had last year and
having retained again for this
year a teacher who is a graduate
of normal school and of the State
UNIVERSITY. There are very few
rural schools in the state that can
point to such preparation on the
part of their teachers. The work
of Miss Josephine Jones is in
keeping with the preparation she
has had.
Happy the teacher who, look
ing over the past month, can see
not only gain which can be re-
corded on report card, but, look
ing into the rows of faces and re-
calling her striving with each
child soul, can dare to believe that
thru this striving some evil habit
has been corrected, some unfortu-
nate tendency, thwarted, and
some eye opened to beauty, some
timid soul made more confident.
The statement in last weeks
notes which read that a full set of
the books cost 5000 less than the
old ones should have read $2.OOI
less. The commission of a point
makes a world difference some
times.
Several of the rural schools of
the county have lenthened their
terms from six to seven months
and several others have made an
extension of two months in term. |
This is giving the boys and girls
of these districts more nearly a
square deal.
The school house of Cass dist |
rict has been enlarged so as to
provide about so per cent more
space. This is one of the largest
rural schools in the county. The
average daily attendance there
last year was 32. The quality of
work done in this school the past
few years is attested by the fact
hat four pupils of last years
eighth grade class succeeded in
the state examination cre- T

ditably. Miss Nora Lust has en-
TERED upon her third year in
charge of this school.
The school board of Nedved
district has further shown it's
alertness for the welfare of the
pupils of that district by enlarg-
ing and improving the school build
ing very materially. This school
stands in the first rank of those
that are exceptionally y we'll equip
ped and we'll taught. During the
past six years they have had but
two teachers. Miss Orpha Peg
ley who served them so creditably
was retained for three successive
years till other plans called her
away, and now Miss Martha Glib
sou is serving her third year in
this school
According to the teachers re-
ports of the past school year the
county superintendent made a to-
t | of 100 visits to the rural
schools while the total number
made by school officers of the
same schools was 1875. In the
town school reports the numbers
read: County superintende4t's
visits 49, school officers 29'.
These are facts worth considering
from two points of view.
Miss Rachell Stephens who
gave excellent service in Hit
school the past year is now IN
charge of the thomas school.
This insures to the latter district
a worthy successor to Mrs. Mary
K. Wood who has taught that
school so ably the past three yrs.
kirkwood district is fortunate
in having in charge of its school
for the third successive year Miss
kuth Smith. The growing ten
dency of school boards to retain
capable success 5fuI teachers is one
of the most encouraging signs OF
the times.
Over one third of the schools of |
the county have been placed on
the visited" list since the first of
September.

Biblical History in catacombs.

The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent
and are said to have contained 6,O0O,.
900 bodies. During the prosecutions
of the Christians by Nero and other
Roman emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tian the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
In the face Of day. The art Of the
catacombs Is unique and most inter-
esting. Simple designs are etched In
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now
and then are small chapels where
paintings are to be found. All are
Bible illustrations. 20 that the cata-
combs may be said to be q pictorial

In the direction Of the needle from
1850 to 1910.
On September IL. lls1. consterna,
ton prevailed among the sailors on
Columbus ship when It was noticed
that the compass needle instead OF
pointing . little east Of the north star
pointed somewhat to the west. Co
lumbus not only discovered a new
world but also the fact that the needle
does not point true to the pole.
The discoverer Of America passed
through one place. . little west Of
Fayal island. where the needle pointed
to the true north. and q few years
later Sebastian Cabot observed an
other such place somewhat further to
the north.
About 1895 1t was found that at Lon
don between 1850 1.-THE date Of the
first declinatiOn observed at that
place) and 1884 the needle had
changed to westward seven degrees.
This change has never been ex.
planned. The phenomenon is called
the secular variation of the earth's
magnetism. Thus it is necessary for
the coast and geOdetic survey to OBJ.
serve continually and correct the mag
netic charts.
At Boston the needle has made q
