IN MEMORIAM

In memory of my beloved wife, Made
line F. Butcher, who died October
9th, 1918.
"Why should we call it death,
This calm, sweet sleep of peace;
When the tired head in slumber rests.
And all of life's sorrows cease.
This beautiful passing away
From the shadow and gloom of night,
Into the: glory of Paradise,
Gleaminglwith wonlrons light.
"Tis hut drifting away from grief.

Setting aside the cross Of care, !

grade, we shall know it. When we
know these facts, we may diagnose
some educational ills and apply the
needed remedy. When this is COM
pleted, we plan to use conservatively
some of the best standardized tests
to determine the relative proficiency
Of the pupils. These tests represent
the attainments Of thousands, in some
cases even millions, of pupils and
are, for that reason, far better than
the individual Judgment Of any teach
er. Science is at the foundation of
our modern civilization, especially in
material way, and is now being ap-
Piled to mental achievement. When
our teachers acquaint themselves with
this work they can 60 from the gen
eral to the specific individual case,
the important matter in all educa-
ton.
While we work, the flu also gets in
its work. The schools at Poe closed
Friday and Mr.. Drake of Brunswick
has just phoned in that they were
closing. We are certainly sorry that
the children are forced to lose this
time.
Frequent inquiries relative to the
payment of teachers for the period
during which the schools were closed
on account Of the epidemic prompt me
to make this statement: the provis-
ions of Section 1890, page 240, Cen
eral Code Of Ohio, provide that teach
ers shall receive payment for such
time. 1t is a violation of the law
not to do SO. The State Department
is very insistent that the law shall
not be evaded. Teachers should be
paid in full at the regular time as if
school had not closed. This office re-
grets very much the loss that this en-
tails upon the children. Teachers are

:: COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES !

By D. W. Pearce, County Supt.


Since our report of last week, we
have visited the following schools,
York, Liverpool, Hinckley, Chippewa
Lake, Leroy and Medina Center. !.
We have been able on several oc-
casions to supply needed teachers by
drafting members from our county
normal class. This is good experience
for our students and help in time
of absence of the regular teachers.
Miss Benedict and Miss Bigelow are
now helping out Mr.. Simon at Wads-
worth.
Reports are steadily coming in on
the Darn Census" If your report
is not yet completed, please speed il
up as much as possible for the final
summary must be reported before
long.
We have been disappointed twice by
being unable to have Adjourned Ses-
sions of the County Institute" This
has been caused by the "fiu" in both
instances. Before long we shall try
again, perchance we may elude this
persistent nuisance. A union meet
ing of the County Board of Educa-
tion and the presidents of local
boards of education caused this to be
cancelled. We shall try another date
for this purpose as soon as conditions
warrant. It is trite to say that the
school system Of Medina county suf-
fers from isolated and uncoordinated
practices. Where matters are under
the control of local organizations,
scattered over the area of a county
with nothing less than union meet
ings and general cooperation can
there be any uniformity of procedure
in school administration. Similar mat
ters are treated very differently even
in neighboring townships. All un.
necessary variation should be reduced
to minimum. No one is to blame
for the, differences, they result from
the isolation previously mentioned.
Similarly, and far the same reasons,
we need occasional meetings of su-
schools, especially to give general
perspective and orientation to our
work. As the leaders of our respec-
tive schools, some general principles
and ideas should guide our practice,
Each needs the benefit of the exper-
ience and suggestions Of the other.
ANY superintendent or principal who
buries himself entirely in his own
system will without exception be less
and accomplish less in an educational
way than if he took an active inter-
est in the county as whole! No
educator can live to himself alone.
There are many matters of vital i'm
portance that press now uponlns and
these must be considered as soon as
possible. This meeting, also, was
planned, but has had to be relegated
to the waiting list.
We are now collecting datH in or
der to compile an "age andi grade
table of the pupils of the entire coun-
ty. When this is finished, we shall
know just where our pupils are by
grade and age. If pupils area up to
grade, behind grade, or ahead Of

OF entrance to quarrel, DuC Demg III,
Bear't that the opposed may beware Of thee"
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-10-11

When was the Star editor cleansed
and purified, and thus placed in a po-
sition to Judge others? We would
suggest that he give his readers lit
tie additional information regarding
that 81 900 bill, providing he is not
yet standing on his constitutional
rights" Also a number of widows
and poor folks would perhaps like to
know something more about the Mis-
souri, Plate Glass Co., get-rich-
quick scheme which the Star man so
industriously promoted.
Regarding the Stars frightful
charge against The Times editor, that
he "has not been in our midst over
long" we are compelled to plead
guilty. If that is a crime, then we
fear that we will become deeply sat-
urated with criminality in time, as
we expect to remain here indefinitely.
But we have now been here sufficient
ly long to discover something of the
cailber of some citizens of this county.
We must also plead guilty to the
Stars additional charge of being a
"prodigal", if departure from this
grand old State constitutes "prodigal-
ity". But we came back just as we
departed, without fear of the law. If
any loss resulted from such action, it
was all our own, and our record lis
open to inspection and just criticism.
Finally, if we ever have been guilty
of knocking any person or thing in
Pennington, or in St. Francois coun-
ty, the ultimate intention of such
"knock" has been to boost our own
town and county. The Star spoke
truly when it said that Harrington
has a number of excellent enterprises,
and a number of the finest men and
women in the county, and Farming
ton itself is very ideally located, pleas
antly equipped, a clean home town,
just such a town as men dream
about" Thanks for this compliment,
which we believe is the first that the
Star has ever paid to Pennington. If
there has been an issue of The Times
since the present management has
been in charge that has failed to
boost Pennington, we cannot recall
it. We arc prominently a booster,
whenever it is possible to boost. We
are also strong for the truth. There
fore we consider truthful boosting to
be one Of the highest requisites of
newspaper work. If the Bonnie Terre
Star would substitute a little "boost-
ing" spirit for some of it's "bull"
throwing, its readers would perhaps
be better satisfied.
