The Coming Contests.

The postponement of the contests
December Goth, was perhaps as diff
ticult a duty to perform as the year
has brought us. Several Of the con-
testants were here ready to do their
part, some of them had come from
considerable distance through snow
and slush, and at no small expense,
naturally they and their friends felt
that it would be unjust not to allow
the contest to go on. But there
were reasons why postponement was
desirable and even necessary. The
expense of the contest including the
prizes TO be awarded must come from
the proceeds of the contest. A con-
test without prizes for the winners
we believe would have been 4 great
err disappointment, that was the
postponement of the opportunity to
contest.
The contest will be held Saturday,
January 2ith, at o'clock p. m.
We hope to have every township
in the county represented by pupils
from the rural schools, in the de-
clam !tory and spelling contests.
The rope tying contest will be
open to pupils from both rural and
town schools.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
By Mabel Horner, County Supt.

One year of our official service has
ended. We have striven earnestly
to serve the best interests of the
Decatur County Schools, as whole.
If in few or many respects We have
failed to do so, the error has been
one of judgment, and not of motive.
We appreciate the earnest effort on
the part of many of our teachers to
cooperate with us in the enterprises
we have undertaken for the improve
ment of school conditions and the
arousing of greater interest in school
affairs. If all our teachers were as
faithful and as spiritual as some, a
big step would be taken toward plac-
ing Decatur county among the first
i'm the state, educationally The
same may be said as to patrons and
school officers. Here's hoping that
superintendent, teachers, school
boards, parents and all good citizens
may pull together to make 1914 the
best year yet in the history of the
county, educationally-and all for
the sake of our boys and girls and
incidentally of a greater Decatur
county. III

RURAL SCHOOL LETTER NO. 3.
The Folk High Schools OF Denmark.
By l.. L, Friend.

No one can travel far in Denmark
without discovering that the Danes
are an unusually intelligent and we'll
educated people. This is just as
true of the rural population as of
the towns and cities. Denmark is
essentially land of schools, and
education is almost passion with
the Danish people.
Most interesting of all Danish edu-
cational institutions, and the one
that has made the greatest part in
bringing about the present high STAN
dard of intelligence among the peo-
pie of rural Denmark, is the popular
high school, or the folk high
school," as it is called. This is pre-
cisely what it's name implies, a high
school for the people, not vocation
al school, but school where young
men and women may return for a
little while to studies that broaden
their minds and make life more
worth while.
Three and hour Month Courses.
In most Danish folk high schools
two courses are offered each year, a
four months course in the winter
for young men, and three months
course in the summer for young wo-
men. The students generally are
from 18 to rs years of age. Most of
them have completed the work of

Teachers Conference.

There are a number OF school
problems and policies that should be
placed Immediately before the teach
ers Of the county. This can be done
with greater eXpediency through
calling a conference for the purpose.
The teachers are therefore requested
to meet the county superintendent
at the NJ. E. church at $50 O'Clock
the morning of the contest, Jan. "a.
All who attend should enroll that
they may be given credit when the
superintendent makes her report on
professional spirit.
