 MAKINGsCHOOL WORK INT EREST- ING
 If children are not interested in their school work they will make little progress, and will quit school at the very first op- portunity. The child that quits school, not interested in what education has to offer will pursue his studies no further"
 ! The interest which children manifest in school depends almost entirely upon the teacher A lazy and indifferent teacher will never teach an interesting school. A teacher who is alive to his own growth and to the advancement of his school. will welcome suggestions from what ever source and will seek to put into execution every plan that commends itself to his judgment. ] Any teacher who studies his school situations carefully and who will use a liberal amount of energy, tact and common sense may be sure of a reasonable amount of interest on the part lof the pupils in school.

BEGINNING THE YEAR

BEGINNING THE YEAR
 Having employed the teach CT the next step is to get every ready to begin right. The board should have meeting at which the teacher is present and let him know what the board de- sires, and to find out what the teachers plans are.
 A complete understanding at this point is very necessary. This can be secured only at a meeting.
 See to it that the school house is in good repair and that it is thoroughly cleaned. Find out what supplies are needed and have everything in place when school begins.
 HAVE THE SCHOOLS WELL OR
 CANNED
 Find out what plans the coun. ty superintendent has for or ganizing the schools. No doubt he does, as do most county superintendents recommend the use of a regular course of study. See that the teacher is supplied with a course of study and that it is followed.
 If the teacher reports that the children are too far ahead in any subject in the course, authorize her to put them where they can do the best work for themselves.
