EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
BY Mabel Horner, County Supt.

Dates to be remembered:
Eighth grade examinations, Feb
Is and q.
First annual meeting of the Deca-
tur County Educational Association
Feb. 2Sth.
The eighth grade examinations
will be given, as heretofore, in the
rural schools, Feb. 26th and 27th
The questions will be sent to all
teachers just before the day set for
the examination. They will be en-
closed in sealed envelopes, marked
with the half day in which the exam
ination is to be given and no envel-
ope is to be opened until the hour
OF the examination. Immediately
after the close of the examination
the teacher shall forward all papers
to the county superintendent office
where they will be examined by a
special committee and reviewed by
the county uperintendent.
:: :: ::
A number of teachers have written
to ask if the examinations We're to be
given in the uperintendent's office.
We do not know how the report
that they were to be so given origi-
mated, for we never for moment
entertained the idea of undertaking
any thing so impracticable, if not
impossible. The state department
does, indeed recommend that the ex-
aminations be given at central points
In each township, or other points of
convenience throughout the county.
The plan has many points of advan-
tage over the present plan, and later
may be tried, and perhaps adopted
in this county, but for the February
examination we have seen fit to
make no change.
Teachers conducting examinations
should use every possible means to
see that the work is done ION the
square" The teacher who gives aid
to pupil in this examination or al
lows him to secure it in any other
way and thus to pass the examina-
ton, wrongs himself, the school to
which the pupil belongs, the school
which he may enter unprepared, the
district that pays an undeserved tut
ton, and most of all the pupil him
self, who drops the study of the
common branches too soon, and who
has received a downward push on an
inclined plane that leads to life
of dishonesty and deceit.
=: :: ::
The superintendents in most of our
town schools have decided to give
the eighth grade examination in their
schools. Those who pass it, will re-
ceive the county common schools
And will be entitled to certificate
of admission to any school in the
state.
:: :: =:
The first annual meeting of the
Decatur County Educational Associ-
alton will be held in Leon, February
28th. This will be an all-day meet
ing. An excellent program has been
arranged by the vice presidents of
the association Dinner will be serv-
ed at the Christian church at 25
cents plate. The Leon High school
building will be used for the meet
ings, and will be opened at seven
o'clock in the morning for the re-
ception of those who arrive on the
early morning trains. Doctor Hugh
8. Buffum, who is remembered most
kindly by those who attended the
Normal Institute last June will deliv-
er an address at l o'clock. Every
body is cordially invited to hear
Doctor Buffum and to attend the
other programs of the day.
