The vi.itina Teacher.

The work of the visiting teacher has
passed the experimental stage. The
position was created to bridge gap in
the existing school machinery. The
visiting teachers province lies outside
that of the regular teacher, the at
tendance officer and the school nurse.

school nurse, she goes into the child's
home.

such situations. Nor is it to be expected
that those qualified to act as attend

not already overburdened, should do
the work of the visiting teacher. In
her IS united the training that makes
a teacher and Gocial service worker.
From the school she learns that the
child is apparently making little effort:
that his work is &C. or worse; that
he is perpetually making trouble in
the class room and is never attentive;
that he seems lifeless, unable to keep
pace with the class; that he attends SO
irregularly that it is impossible to teach

to study and the situation ut home Is
such that he must leave school and go
to work. With these facts as clues she
sets to work.
Between the home and the school the
visiting teacher vibrates, carrying to
the former the schools picture OF the
child and returning to the school to
reinforce that impression or to shed
new light upon the problem.

Eldora. May 12.-The George Rich

was sold Saturday to c. A. Byam. Of
Hubbard. The .arm consists of 24O
acres and was purchased by Mr.. Rich
ards four years ago. In the sale OF
the farm Mr.. Richards clears $4,000.
The board of supervisors rejected all
bids for material for the big Lamrn
drainage ditch last Saturday. This
was because there were no bids for the
80 and the 42-inch tile. 1t is claimed
that there are very few factories in
the United States making that large a
tile and that these were either. flooded
by the recent Ohio floods or are so
rushed with orders that they have con-
tracts for eighteen months in advance.
No bids for labor were presented. There
are to be over 5000 feet Of the large
tile and it may be necessary for the
board to use this size in concrete. One
concrete tile OF this size weighs 1000
pounds. while clay tile Of the same
size weighs 1900 pounds. Heretofore
the largest tile ever used by the county
in drainage work has been 36-inch.

College Springs, May 12.-Amity COL
lege, which has just celebrated a most
successful charter day, has received
several new subscriptions to it's $780,
900 endowment fund and the managers,
to believe that the future of the college
is soon to be made secure. During the
charter day exercises and since, many
interesting things have been related
about old Amity College, one of the
Oldest institutions in the state.
In Galesburg, ILL.,, many years ago,
there lived religious community
which was organized under the name
of "A Colony of Reformers,' the MEM
bers OF which decided to migrate TO
some place where they could stir the
virgin soil and start life anew under
conditions which they themselves
should create. Later the plans Of these
people took a somewhat wider scope
and the name OF the sect was changed
to read The Western Industrial and
Scientific Association" At meeting
of the association held in Galesburg,
April IL, 1855, committee of three
was named to explore Kansas, the
northern part of Missouri and southern
Iowa. A report of the committee was
given at a meeting of the organization
in August 1855, when all gave their
preference for location, to southern
iowa and Immediately committee
was named to locate the colony, which
was later set down in Page county.
Another committee arrived on the
ground April 25, 1865, spent two
months making an appraisement and
survey and returning to Galesburg
made report to the stockholders July
"a, 1856. The members of the colony
were strict teetotlars and it was made
a consideration in the deeds to prop
erty of the organization that sales of
liquors should forever be barred. Vari-
Gus other requirements were and are
still made a part of the deeds of trans
fer. The site is one of the finest in
the state Owners are required to plant
shade trees and thus nature has been
assisted in the Identification Of the
city. Six or more springs of fine water
arise within the town and flow con-
tinually.
Amity College then owned 6,945 acres
Of land. 1t had $40 acres in Cass coun-
ty, 1865 in Page county and $500
acres in Missouri, all valuable. 1t was
originally provided that the money
raised from the sale Of the lands
should be devoted to the erection of
buildings and college uses.
