URGES PARENTS TO
See !. SCHOOL SHOW
COUNTY sUPT. BOERGER ISSUES
INTERESTING LETTER ON
EDUCATIONAL MATTERS
GREATER COOPERATION need
POINTS OUT THAT COUNTY FAIR
EXHIBIT WILL PROVE TREAT
TO ALL VISITORS.

County Superintendent of Schools
Boerger has issued a general letter to
the people of Stearns county with the
object of acquainting parents of pu-
pills with the true conditions in school
affairs and also with the further pur-
pose of bringing the school into closer
harmony and cooperation with the
home. Superintendent Boerger urges
all perents and school officers to visit
the county fair in Sank Centre this
fail and view the educational exhibit.
The letter in part is as follows:
"Please, provide for the comfort
and health of the children by means
of suitable rooms, Fairgrounds and
outbuildings.
"The school rooms should be as
pleasant and cheerful as they can
be made without resorting to extra
vagance, and they should be suitably
equipped so that the best kind Of
work may be done for the money ex-
pended.
"The Fairgrounds should be in a
condition to be used by the children
for the purpose of recreation. They
should be fairly level, and the swamp
area should be filled up.
"The outhouses must be put and
kept in good condition SO that they
can be properly used. This means
that they should be firmly built so
that no rain or snow can penetrate.
In short, they should be so constructed
that they can be properly used by the
children.
81 will also ask that sufficient
amount of good and wholesome drink
ing water be supplied the children.
The schools expecting the special
state aid will have to provide bubb-
Ter fountain according to the latest
regulation sent out by State Superin-
tendent Schultz.
II will ask the people to vote at
least eight months of school for the
ensuing year. Where shorter terms
are kept the value received in The
way of education scarcely satisfies
the amount expended. 1t is difficult to
secure good teachers for short terms,
since there are a sufficient number
of districts having eight or nine
month terms wherein the better grade
of teachers will find their abilities
more properly compensated.
II should very much like to have
all parents and school officers see the
educational exhibit at the Stearns
County Fair to be held at Sank Cen
tire on September goth to 23rd, 1916.
There will be in the neighborhood
of four thousand individual entries
comprising all sorts of school work.
It will be a splendid exhibit and
we'll worth seeing. The fancy work
alone, all done by the children, is
valued at one hundred fifty dollars.
Is your school represented N. this
exhibit? If not, your next teacher
should be reminded of it at the begin
ming of the year. Come and see

 Comment around the circuit has been given over largely to the rout Of the Pelicans and various reasons have been advanced for the crumpling of the club which 10 days ago seemed to be making a runaway. Many critics assert that the New Orleans team was stale, contending their swift start showed they were on edge too soon. Others pointed to the pitching slump, arguing that the early season had seen New Orleans get the best hurling in the league. Figures show, however, that Manager Dobbs' men had slipped from first to fifth place in team batting since they took the road and started their downward course. The Pel- jeans record for the week was two won and six lost
 Birmingham Little Rock and Mobile also fared badly, Birmingham and Mobile each winning but one game out of six played while Little Rock managed toI get two out of seven. And, strange to say, with this unpromising record, the Barons climbed into first place in team hitting and Little Rock dropped only one notch among the swatters, losing second place in the batting column to Atlanta.
 The standing of the league, including the two games played Sunday. is as follows:

Rowing 10 the Oldest of All Our Inter

the sixties and seventies aqnatlcS
reigned without rival. In neither
popularity nor scope was baseball,
football or any other sport to be
compared with it.
Rowing is still the most impor-
tant major sport in seats Of learn
ing where adequate facilities exist,
important not alone in its tradition
and present prestige, but in the
part it is playing in the general
campaign of eliminating from the
undergraduate body the fashion Of
taking athletics by proxy.

Gus alumni has permitted.
Following the lead of such schools

Middlesex, preparatory institutions
throughout the country have done
much to interest their students IN
rowing for its own sake, with the
result that each year seats Of higher

much for the opportunities it may
offer them to beat some one else as
for the physical improvement and
mental pleasure they derive there

University Extension Service In
creasing.
''Five hundred Missouri teach
ers taught school and attended
the University of Missouri at
the same time last year." said
c. H. Williams, Secretary Of the.
Extension Division of the Uni
versity at Columbia.
While the Extension Division
is only three years old, it now
has twenty-five times as many
students enrolled as at its be-
ginning. It has increased $50
over the enrolment last year.
Courses in education are the
most popular with extension
students. This is accounted for
by the TACT that the big major
ity Of those taking correspond
ence work are teachers. Agri-
culture is likewise very popular.
History, English, mathematics,
sociology, and language courses
are also given by the extension
department.
Through the University ex-
tension service teachers have the
opportunity to make up entrance
requirements. One-half unit of
high school work or a two-hour
course in the University may be
completed within one month. A
fye-hour course requires about
six months for completion. Ten
hours work may be taken each
year, and extra credit for good
work is awarded as in the reg
ular session.
Lantern slides on historical
and language subjects are loan
ed for use to any school that has
a lantern. An art exhibit may
be borrowed. In addition, lee
lures by University professors
are arranged for the Extension
Division.
while extension work is moi
intended to supplant the regular
university work, it has the ad.
vantage of being much less ex.
rensive, as well as convenienr
for those who are unable to at
lend the University" said Mr.
Williams.
