COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.
Notes From the County Superlntend
ent of Schools.

Many of our winter schools are
closing but there are now 100 in ses-
sion.
The returns from the eighth
grade examination held March 10th
and 10Th are nearly all in. A fair
ly satisfactory showing was made
and few finished The work of the
eighth grade. We have decided
hereafter not to give out these 9Th
grade questions so unfortunately
as has been the custom heretofore
At this last examination thirty-six
teachers received the 8th-grade
questions, and because of so many
teachers giving the examinations
it makes it impossible for the coun.
ty superintendent to supervise the
work as 1t should be done. Here.
after these examinations will be held
in all the village schools and in not
more than five of the rural districts.
The fore part of week, beginning
March 18th, was spent in Office. The
apportionment received from the
state was $6367.68 and from the
county $8.844. 90. making total of
$l5,211.68. This amount is divided
among the thirty school districts &C.
cording to the number of school
children between the ages of six and
twenty-one. There being 32le
school children in this county at the
last school census. this gives Sd. 7G

e'oNaER PAPER OF rsf cou07 =
Forty thousand dollars additions


was laid aside by the recent legisia-
ture to assist consolidated rural
schools. This is matter that the
public should keep we'll in mind.
1t is generally known that thousands
of dollars have been Topped off the
appropriations for the state schools
and. in fact. for the different de-
partments of the state government.
That the original sum should be re-
tanned and forty thousand dollars
added to it to assist consolidated ru-
raj schools speaks eloquently for the
Importance of those schools as seen
by the members of the recent legis-
ative session.
In every part of the state there is
deep interest in the matter of rural
schools. Already. the matter is be-
ing taken up in this county. How
ever, there is hardly school dis
trict in the county that should not
give the matter the closest atten-
ton. In business enterprise it is an
accepted fact that cooperation and
Capitalization of endeavor makes for
mare efficient service and better re.
suits. The same conditions apply in
school matters A first-class consol-
idated school can be run much more
cheaply than several of the one
teacher affairs. There IS less du-
plication and resultant waste of en-
ergy. The cost of several small
school buildings when used in one
consolidated school will give a won.
dersully fine building and equip.
ment. Ordinary teachers, when
working under the supervision of 8
high grade principal, will show tc
advantage. The grades can be
handled more Systematically. In
stead of one teacher Swimming ovel
the work of dozens of classes of {
few pupils each. as with the one
room rural school, several instruc
tors may be had. and each will de

SiO,OOO,O0O; OLD SYSTEM
IS DlsTAsTEFUL

Muskogee, Nov. S.--A vast estate

among 26 900 choctaws and chfcka-
saws exclusive of freedmen II con-
lgress were to take fayora,le action
on the resolutions adopted by the
Choctaw senate, in which distribu-
tion OF tribal funds is demanded
Gabe e Parker, superintendent OF
the Five Civilized Tribes, says the
huge estate is composed OF tribal
funds now in the hands of the Indian
agent, moneys to be received from the
sale OF land on deferred payments;
from the sale of the mineral lands;
from the sale of the surface of the
segregated coal lands, and from mis-
cellaneous tribal properties.
The Choctaws say that so long as
tribal property is held under the
guardianship of the federal govern
ment there win be attempts to secure
shares Of such property by persons
not entitled to 1t. IS.
In the senate resolutions 1t is com
plamed that Ttte system of paying
able-bodied allottees by monthly IN
stallments and supervising the pur-
chase Of all personal property, and
the retention of such property is hu
initiating TO the Indians who have
confidence in their own ability. Event.
ually under this system most of the
lands OF the individual Indians will
he sold and the proceeds obtained
therefrom paid out In such manner
that the Indians will have acquired
the habit OF absolute dependence.
Such system does not prepare the
Indian for good citizenship
The Choctaws will endeavor to Sc
cure legislation in the special ses,
sion of congress which will alleviate
the conditions complained of and a
committee has been appointed for the
purpose Of bearing the resolutions to
Washington and presenting them to

1t was voted, however, to assist in
the organization of free fair asso-
citation for the holding Of free town
ship fairs in every township in the
county each year, the amount or
funds needed for this being so small
comparatively that il would not add
any appreciable amount to taxes, the
city being willing TO pay her share
