VA UA3LE IDEAS
PRESENTED At
SCHOOL MEETING

The convention of school boards last
Saturday at the BarabOo High school
building was presided over by County
Superintendent G.. w. Davies. In his
greeting to the school boards he men
toned the great value these meetings
had been to the cause of education, and
gave State Superintendent Cary credit
for being father of the idea.
Professor Fl. E. Taylor of the Bara-
boo High school was then introduced
and told of his work in agriculture He
thought it best to train the farmer to
stay On the farm.
State Inspector of Rural schools W.
E. Larson, Superintendent Davies said,
needed no introduction and came for
ward with the subject of Health.
Health, he said, one did not realize the
value of until he lost it. Once lost one
scarcely ever gets back to where ne
was. He discussed air, light, water.
Outbuildings and cleanliness, made en-
phatic the idea that drinking plenty of
good water was very beneficial and
suggested that farmers clubs discuss
the subject Of health.
Professor W. E. Smith spoke of the
Sank County Training school. The
school is steadily growing five per cent
in attendance now and twenty-six per
cent of Sank county's teachers are
graduates. The value Of the training
school was recognized by the Legislature
passing bill increasing it's appropria-
ton $500 while that of the State Nor
mails and State University were cut
down.
The afternoon session was opened by
Superintendent Davies presenting the
new school laws.
Inspector Larson then took up the
subject, "Some of the concrete things
in education. Concrete-teaching of
things. Know the thing, then study
the book. Illustrations in arithmetic,
agriculture and constitution were given.
He emphasized giving instruction in
management of public meetings.
A great deal of interest was mani
tested by the members in the exper
fence meeting which was called for by
Superintendent Davies near the close
of the session. Many thoughts were
brought out among them that the school
board should stand back of the teacher
and that parents should not criticize
the teacher in the presence of children.
The meeting was largely attended
there being present about 150 school
board members, thirty teachers and
several visitors.
