school but it seems that when these
little people reach the seventh grade
they equal in scholarship in every re-
spect those who were not SO handi-
capped in their first school year. One
of the ninth grade pnpils, in addition
to his regular work, is taking Latin
and Algebra thru correspondence
from the Hays Normal School.
Misses Lillian Cross and Mae Marts
are the two teachers of Dist IL,
North and South Glencoe. Miss Cross
has the ideal country school OF three
grades and six pupils. Al hrst
thought this statement of ideal might
seem an untruth but for one who has
taught a country school of thirty
pupils and nine grades, the three
grades suggest world of opportuni-
ties for busy work, nature study,
drawing, music, painting, sewing and
games, and in fact all the activities
that all children delight in both at
school and at home
Miss Marts has more of the regular
school work each day than she can do
with comfort, her section of the
district being more populated and
nearly all the nine grades enrolled in
school. When pressed for time she
solves the diff1ulty by having recita-
lions in the ninth grade after school
hours. Suppose these two schools
should consolidate and one of the
teachers take the first four grades
and the other the higher five, would
there be any advantages to teachers?
to pupils? to parents? in the taxes?
A disinterested visitor must reply
emphatically Yes" to all these
questions.
"a COON FARM''-BY CARRIE ELLIOT.
Some years ago, George, Spencer,
had a large apple orchard. The trees
in time became old and hollow. The
old farmer was feeling bad that his
any money but one day as be and one
of his neighbors were passing thru
the orchard they noticed coon with
several little ones run into one of the
hollow trees.
The neighbor, Frank Riley, ex-
claimed: "Why don't you turn your
old orchard into Coon Farm?' $50
1 CAM" replied Mr.. Spencer, Il will
put tight fence around it and keeI
all that are there?''
He built the fence and in few
years he found that he had embarked
upon great industry for the skin
and fur of the coons was more valu
able than the apples ever had been.
