AL. Reich, the Eastern heavy

These two fellows have every

ought to have to be champions.
The one thing they haven't got
is the fighting heart.

Rural School Commencement Exer.
ciSes.

Every county superintendent should
provide for township or county COM
mencement exercises, at which pupils
who have completed the common
school course may receive their di-
plomas and certificates Such COM
mencement exercises may be made a
powerful means of uplift education
ally to the whole community. An all
day program, consisting of essays,
ldeclamations, or a class play by the
graduates, may be prepared. A good
speaker may be engaged. A picnic
dinner may be planned for. Games
and athletics, and contests between
the various schools may have a place.
The best work of the graduates of the
schools from which they come may
be placed, on exhibit. Parents, teach
ers, and school officers should en-
courage pupils in every way to COM
plete the common school course, and
to make the rural school course
worth completion, for more than one
half of the children of our state will
never receive any other education
than that afforded by our rural
schools Life on the farm should be
made attractive to the boys and
girls. The worth of the farmer to
civilization should be emphasized.
Country children should be taught
that all other vocations of life de-
pend upon the farm, and that:
The farmers wealth is nobly won;
He's partner with the soil and sun;
He's partner with the seas and rain;
And no man loses by his gain.
No other class holds him in thrall,
For the farmer, he must feed us all.
God bless the man that sows the
wheat,
That gives us bread, and fruit and
meat;
May his purse be heavy and his heart
be light,
His fields and home be free from
blight;
God bless the seed his hands let fall,
For the farmer, he must feed us all.
Above the entrance of the magnifi-
cent union depot in Washington, d.
c., are the words: The farm, best
home of the family; main source of
national wealth; foundation Of civil
lied society.
To help realize this ideal is the
mission Of our rural schools. There
is no reason why they may not be our
best schools. {. AZ. III,

Final Examination and Graduation.

The laws of Iowa provide that
ANY person of school age who is a
resident of a school corporation
which does not offer a four year high
school course and who has complct-
ed the course as approved by the De-
partment of Public Instruction for
such corporation shall be permitted
to attend any public high school or
county high school in the state APP
proved in like manner, that will re-
ceive him"
Any person applying for admission
to any high school under the provi-
sions of this act shall present the
officials of said high school the a1fi-
davit of his or her father, mother or
guardian that such applicant is of
school age and resident of a school
district of this state, specifying the
district. He shall also present GER
tificate signed by the county superin-
tendent showing proficiency in the
common school branches, reading,
photography, arithmetic, physiology,
grammar, civics of Iowa, geography,
United States history, penmanship
and music.
The state superintendent has issu-
ed the following regulations in re-
gard to the eighth grade examina-
tions:
The following regulations were pre-
pared by a committee of county sup
erintendents and the department of
public instruction recommends that
in so far as possible they may be
uniformly adopted throughout the
state. Chapter 146, acts of the Gath
general assembly, gives to the rural
eighth grade examinations new sig
nificance which makes them one Of
the important duties of county sup
erintendent. Great care should be
observed in conducting these examin-
atoms. Such plans as will serve the
largest number of pupils, yet protect
the interests Of the public schools,
should be followed Eminent fairness
both to the pupils and their home dis
tricts should be maintained
Papers should be graded fairly
without too much regard to techni-
calities. The chief desire is to know
that the pupil is ready to leave the
common school branches and that he
could carry the advanced work with
credit.
Permanent records should be
made in all cases whether the pupil
is successful or not. The county can
well afford to give suitable help to
properly conduct the work.
The law now makes it mandatory
that an examination in civics shall be
given. Pupils should be given as
thorough course as possible, partic-
ularly with reference to Iowa. Cues
tons in agriculture have been pre-
pared and may be used at the discre-
ton of county superintendent. How
ever, no pupil should be deprived of
