week of the high school began Sunday
evening with the bacealaureate service
held at the Methodist church. The ad-
dress was given by Rev. S. M. Hunter,
pastor of the Presbyterian church. The
class play, which was drama tization
of David Copperfield, was the first
classic play attempted by the senior
classes for some years and was de-
clared by all to be success. 1t was
presented Tuesday evening. The play
brought together a clear sum of 1914
which will be donated for some special
purpose in the school work. The class
day program was given Wednesday
evening in the auditorium. A very
unique program was carried out, en-
titled THE Ladies Home Journel,"
with every pupil composing the staff
under fictitious names. Fourteen SEN
Tors received diplomas last evening at
the commencement exercises at the
Methodist church, John F. Nugent, of
Boise, delivering the address The
graduates are the Misses Mildred Blom
of Bramwell, Grace Tappan of Bran
well, Eunice Yeck, verna Kuckku,

vision of the class.
Final examinations were given in all

| asked some questions as to the educa-
ton Of the Indians, and was told that there
are practically no Indians in the schools in
the out-of-the-way provinces. They some
times go to public schools in the towns, and
there is no regulation that prohibits them
from attending them. 1t is some trouble,
however, to establish school on an estate
far away from the railroad It has to be
done through the minister of public nstruc-
ton, of whom there is a representative i'll
every province. To do this requires money,
time trouble and influence, and the ma jority
of the landholders do not care Some of
them prefer to have ignorant and willing
laborers to intelligent and independent
ones, and they say that it is the educated
Indian who usually causes most trouble.
One of the hacendados told me that he
found those Indians who had been in the
army the most difficult to control, and that
he wanted his Indians as workers and not
as scholars, or as advisers or friends
In closing this letter l would say that the
conditions herein described are those cur
rent in the province Of Paucartambo and
that they are not the same all over Peru.
There are many places in which the Indians
work only two or three days week for the
use Of their houses and lands, and in some
they are also paid a small wage for their
work. In other places they have small
farms of their own and raise their own stock
and crops. AS a rule, however, they have
but few rights that the white and Cholos
landowners are bound to respect; and there
is room for a great movement toward their
education and civilization, and in the giving
of them the liberty which we all concede
should be the right of every one in these
modern times.

and penmanship. have been neglected
until a climax has been reached.
Now schools all over the country are
expending thought time and money in
sharpening these two Indispensable i'm
plements of the schools, the business
world and the social world For the
old idea that child is doomed to spell
and write badly because his parents
and grandparents were bad spoilers
and poor penmen. has vanished at the
approach of better methods of teaching
these subjects.
A letter from DR.. Dyer of the 3os-
ton schools shows that in Boston, the
Athens of America, definite and string
ent regulations We're necessary to bring
penmanship UP to the standard in his
schools.
To Principals of Schools and Districts !:
I find that the teachers, as a rule,
have made excellent progress In the
matter of penmanship and that a large
number OF them have completed the
drills and are thoroughly prepared to
teach the Palmer system. There are
some, however, who have been in the
service for several years, but who
have not used the system in their daily
work, although they have ma stored the
drills.
This system is being used in many
cities throughout the country and there
is no reason why Boston should not ex-
eel in this line of work. l am conf
dent that a united faithful effort for
year would give to the Boston
sob lie h1- ~.
country. In order to render this eff
fort more effective. I would ask that
each teacher who has not completed
all of the drills send me a report stat
ing her reasons by Sept. Is, 1913, and
would recommend the following:
l. That those teachers who have not
completed their drills do so as soon
as possible.
| 2. That during the next school year
no pencils be used in the elementary
schoolrooms above the first grade, ex-
cept for drawing and arithmetic. (Ad-
visory but not mandatory
| 8. That all paper used be suitable
for ink.
4. That children in the first grade
be drilled in movement and position
and that form be learned by blackboard
writing with a free-arm movement
3. That no unsupervised writing be
permitted in the second year.
6. That all writing in all grades be
SO supervised as to insure care and
persistent effort.
I. That all teachers use this sys-
tenn of penmanship in all work seen by
pupils.
believe that a careful and persistent
adherence to the principles underlying
our penmanship will accomplish Won
ders when carried out in broad, pro-
fessional spirit.
