County School Letter
(By supt. G. G. Fites,

All rural school district clerks will
receive a circular letter accompanying
their pad of clerks blanks.
1t is very encouraging indeed to note
the number of rural schools that are
pro vided with sweeping compound.
Metal ceiling is much more satisfac-
tory than any thing we know of except
wood. Nistricts No. 80 and 3S have
very attractive metal ceilings.
Our sympathy goes out to the child
ren of that school which does not pro
vide any suitable drinking water or
water for washing the hands and faces.
A great many rural school boards
over the state are buying school paper
in bulk, and thereby saving considera-
BILE expense for each individual pupil.
This is the month when the school
census should be taken. 1t should in
clude the names of all persons between
the ages of six and twenty-one years
residing within the county OH May 1st.
AS result of the superintendents'
conference at Pierre last week, South
Dakota history will doubtless be placed
In the sixth grade, while civics will
find place throughout the seventh
and eighth grades.
We have received large number of
very satisfactory reports on Arbor and
Bird Day programs held in various ru-
raj schools. The one at Bon Homme
District No. 81 is deserving of special
mention.
While at Pierre last week we locked
at tie leaden plate, which was discov-
cred by school children at Fort Pierre,
and is now the property of the state
museum. This plate was buried on
the bluffs overlooking Fort Pierre
March 80, 1743, by Verendrye brothers
tc witness frances claim to this terri
tory.
Teachers should please remember
that we desire other work besides draw
ing for our state fair exhibit. 1t is true
that exhibits of drawing command
the attention of passing crowds more
easily bat we want something for those
who will stop and study our school
work more carefully. Specimens of
handwriting or problems in arithmetic
make very fine display in school ex-
hibit.
"First impressions are the most last
ing" is maxim that many teachers
and school children should remember
in connection with the care and at
tention given to the storm shed or
ante room of the average rural school.
No matter how neat and clean the
school room may appear, the aver
age visitor cannot help but be infu-
enced in his opinion Of the school by
the condition of halls and cloak rooms
through which he passes in gaining
entrance to the school room proper.
