To those who are OF the opinion that
the people of the country districts take
no interest in their school the follow
ing two items may be of interest.
During the present school year l05
school board conventions have been
held. The total attendance at these
meetings has been between 10000 and
llOOO school officers, and approximate
ly 5000 teachers. Many Of these peo-
pie had long distances TO go and on
several occasions the weather and
roads were unravorable. The subjects
discussed by the representative of the
State Department Of Education were
"School Hygiene and Sanitation" and
Concrete Teaching in the Schools. y
The continued interest that the school
officers take in these meetings demon
strates their value.
During the school year 1914 Is there
were held about %, 600 meetinss in the
school houses of the state under the
jurisdiction OF the county superintend-
ents About 1000 Of these were held
in high schools and the remainder in
the elementary schools, the greater
number being in the one-room coun-
try schools. 1t is to the credit Of the
country districts that under the lead
ership OF their teachers and county
superintendeuts so many gatherings
have been he'd The movement OF
using the school houses more for com
munity gatherings has received great
impetus during the last three or four
years through discussions at the school
board conventions by members of the
state department OF education and the
county superintenGents, and also
through the publication Of a bulletin
entitled Social and Civic Center Work
in Country Communities. s." This move
ment is especially to be commended in
that it is to very large extent the
work Of the people themselves.

Abracadabra a Fever Cure.

Long before a change of climate
came to be advertised as a cure for
hay fever, an idea the railroads have
been suspected of fostering, a simpler
remedy was thought to be the word,
abracadabra. This magical word was
once used as a charm against ague
and fevers. Its meaning is disputed.
As q charm it was written to form an
inverted triangle by dropping the last
letter at each successive repetition

Members of State Department HOLD
Chrirtmas Conference.
At the Department Conference held
at Madison during the holidays al
members filled out statistical ques-
tionnaire. When the questionnaires
were summarized it appeared thai
thirteen of the sixteen members OF the
Department of Public Instruction had
taught in rural schools for an average
length of over twenty months Twelve
out Of sixteen members attended coun
try school. Eight, or Just half OF the
number, had filled at some time in theil
educational career the Office OF county
superintendent of schools. The aver
age length OF time for each OF the eight
was six and one-half years. In other
words, the total experience Of depart
ment members in the office Of county
superintendent was over fifty years
There is no member Of the depart
ment who has not visited country
school.
AS preliminary to the recommen,
dations of the department to the legis
lature all the inspectors, including the
state uperintendent, regardless o
their special field OF activities, visited
country schools for week, and at the
Thanksgiving recess prior to the last
session OF the legislature the entire
department discussed for full day
the results of the visits, which aggre.
gated lGO in their bearing on prospec
tive legislation.
At the Christmas conference a re

and another member reported on some
visits to one room rural and consolidat
ated schools in Indiana.
over 10000 school board member,
on an average have been addressed by
each member Of the department.
Many addresses have been made al
state teachers associations and a still
larger number at sectional meetings
Fourteen out OF sixteen members have
had experience in training country
teachers in high school training cours
es, institutes, county training schools
and normal schools, including bott
summer and regular sessions. Thir
teen have taught in teachers Institutes
eight have taught in high schools; anC
seven have filled the Office of the city

The average length of service il
the department is matter OF interest
The present members of the Depart

in the department for an average o
over seven years while the educatlona
