RURAL SCHOOL NOTES.
BY zina Fessenden. CO. supt.

During the past month nearly all
of the schools of the county except
| those of Vernon Springs twp. We're
visited by the superintendent. The
visits were short, only long enough
to deliver the material from the Of
fee, and talk over the organization
and such other problems that al
ways arise at the beginning of the
year. AS usual many changes in
teachers had been made, and al
though we have lost several good
ones, we seem to have gained as
many, and the prospects for the year
seem good.
We are trying to make this a
more profitable year for the eighth
grade students than we have yet
had. We are outlining for each
teacher the eighth grade work to
be covered month by month. They
are not required to handle the work
in just the way we suggest, but
to cover the amount of work out
lined in the way that seems best
adapted to their various classes.
We then expect to send out to the
pupils one or two sets of examine
ton questions from the office be-
fore the regular state examinations
are given. Pupils who fail to do
creditable work in these prelimin-
airy examinations will not be allow
ed to take the state examinations
until next year.
Suggestive outlines for primary
language and general lessons are al
so supplied the teachers. We real
ize that the teachers do not have
the material with which to work.
nor the time to organize what they
have, and believe that these out
lines will be especially helpful to
those teachers who are inexper-,
fenced.
Our first teachers institute under
the new law will be held October
% and % in the Cresco high school
building. This law requires that in
stead Of the regular six day insti-
tute, an inspirational meeting of two
days be held during the school
year, and that all schools shall be
closed during that time without
loss Of salary to the teachers unless
they fail to attend the institute, in
which case they shall forfeit their
average daily salary for each day of
non-attendance.
We feel that we are especially
fortunate in being able to secure
the following able and interesting
instructors.
Prof. C. P. Colgrove of Cedar
Falls will take a prominent part in
the daily programs and will lecture
Thursday evening on "Why Iowa
Boys Leave the Farm
Edward S. Kindley of Davenport,
besides his work in literature and
Rhymalogue, a humorous lecture
entertainment which has been given
over forty times on the Chautauqua
platform the past summer, Friday
evening.
Frank C. Pellet, state inspector
of Apiaries. will give us the bene-
fit of his study and work with the
bees, birds, butterflies, ETC., which
will help US to see that the common
things we call nature are after all
some of the biggest things in the
world.
Miss Ethel Maxfield of Des
Moines will give us music and
story telling. Miss Maxfield will
bring with her enough copies of her
Daily Music Outlines for Rural
Schools to supply each school with
a copy. and will explain to the
teachers the best methods of using
them.

This week is examination week.
We are anxiously looking forward

Friday night about 80 or 80 high
school pupils greeted the foot ball
team at the s:17 train on which
they returned from the game at
Lime Springs. Several yels We're
given before and after the boys ar

S. is alive to what is going on
around them and that they mean to
staad back Of their foot ball team.
Everybody push; and something will
move.
Train again. Play again. Win
our foot ball boys are following.
The team with three subs went
to Lime Springs Friday and won with
a score of 33 to Z. The game was
uneventful and very short, only 10
minute quarters.
The. Lime Springs bunch played
the best they knew how and they
surely knew how to pull off short
forward pass. They had a small
number of plays as compared to
Cresco.
Cresco did not need to use much
strategy. Johnnie Long would hol-
Ter: Come on now; right through
the big fella' now" and Cresco
would go.
Say, who is the person who said
anything about 10 second man in
that bunch. Maybe "Uncle Dudley
thought Cresco was very impolite
because they did not wait for him
to invite them to take him.
Supper was one of the biggest
events of the trip. Mr.. Luce favor
led us with music, the quality Of
which shows association with per-
sons of great musical talent.
John Champlin and Mr.. Luce at
tended the Osage-Austin game Sat-
urday, the latter refereeing. Usage
won 35 to 0, SO come out and back
our team next Saturday and we will
show you the best game ever play
ed in Cresco.
Two Of Cresco's best men were
left at home Friday. A ruling has
been made that pupils must be maxi
ing passing grade in all their stud
les if they wish to participate in
athletics. The boys think this is
not quite fair as other schools
require the student to be up
in only three. If there is any doubt
about the eligibility Of our men we
wish the doubters would insist on
Ian investigation.
Lime Springs did not prove as
strong as last year. There are sew
eral good men on the team but
they didn't play well together.

referee the game Saturday.

Last Monday morning Mr.. Wells
made surprising but yet pleasing
announceme He stated that here
after We would all have the salts
faction of a fifteen minute study
period at the close of the last per-
iod of the school day. School Will
regularly close at $3.50 but we will
have a period, from $3.50 to 3:45 in
which we may deliberate on our
studies for the following day. 1t is
also a reriod of personal help from
the teachers. Mr.. Wells explained
that some Of us We're not putting
enough time on our lessons, and for
that reason a fifteen minute period
was introduced.
The school was entertained Mon
day morning by several speakers,
notably. Mr.. Wells. Mr.. Luce, Mr..
Tiss, Haswell Rucker, Will Rathert
and DR.. Robertson. We are all glad
to listen to the accounts of the
thrilling spectAcles that are often
witnessed at a foot ball game when
Cresco is in the fight. We cannot
doubt that the public, as well as
the pupils themselves, takes an in

passes that of the past. We know

matter from charcoal exerted an in
fluence to that effect We all feel
that Chemistry will be interesting.
The program committees of the
different societies met last week
and made out their society pro-
grams. A new feature is going to be
made of the programs this year. In
stead of holding strictly to debates
(Which long ago became tedious)
dialogues, musicals. farces, papers,
and readings will be more generally
observed. The first program will be
given by the Dolliver society the
week after examinations, on Oct.
%. The Roberts society will pre-
sent one on oct. 80, the Roosevelt
Nov. s, and the Hawkeye Nov. 10.
We feel sure that the programs
will be interesting. We want to see
the public show their interest by
coming up and enjoying the enter
tainments with us. Everyone is
welcome.
