SCHOOL SUPERVISOR
TEACHERS REPORTS

To the public school teachers
officials and patrons of 0bion
County:
In the announcement of Miss Cas-
sic Hamilton as rural school super
visor Sept. 18th .nst., mentioned
that some ether things would after
wards be spoken of relative to our
schools.
/ would like to add an additional
word regarding the supervisors work.
AS matter of fact when you consi-
der supervision of rural schools from
a business standpoint as you would
with your farm, store, bank or any
commercial enterprise, you will readi-
" see that any one person, owing to
the Size OF the county, can not cover
the territory and do the grade Of
work which is possible to be done.
The city superintendent can find
out and know--and does find out
and does know--the condition of the
city school any day during the term,
owing to the size of a county, irreg-
ularity in getting reports and office
duties, If the county superintendent
can know this information at one
time during the year he is doing ex-
ceedingly we'll. Therefore the rural
school supervis or's position was
created in order that the country
boys and girls may be afforded addi-
tional means to have their educa-
tional opportunities improved. This
supervisors work is especially ad-
vantageous to the beginning teach
ers and / am sure that every ex-
perienced teacher knows and appre-,
ciates this fact more thoroughly
than any one else.
hope that our school work may
be more closely and systematically
corrected. 1t seems it has been
too loosely linked up. There is a
lack of concert of action in the work
as a whole.
A teacher goes out and teaches all
the year and leaves no complete re-
cord of her work as is required Dy
the State superintendent to be kept
in the school register. Next year q,
new teacher goes to this same place
without any record or any knowledge
OF what has been done the preceding
year. Therefore, she has to rely
on the often inaccurate knowledge
of the children as to where they
properly belong. and she is forced
to experiment for while to get her
school classified. BY the time she
gets herwork arranged, by the time
all the pupils get started, by the time
the first children begin to stop, by the
time those that are absent so many
days are counted up, and by the time
the short term is out, is 1t any sur
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1919-10-03


prise that the rural child does not
get that fair show at an education
which every child is entitled to and
ought to receive.
Added to this practically every
rural teacher has by far more work
than can be properly done by any
one teacher however difficult 1t may
be. OF course this is our present
system and the teacher just has to
do the best she can in one days
time.
But there are some things that
can be done that will materially
help our school problem. The law
and the teachers contract require
that monthly reports be made out
to the District Board and the county
superintendent at the end of each
month before she receives her month
ly salary; the law and the teachers
contract require that the annual re-
port be made out and one copy be
sent to the district board and the
other to the county superintendent
before she receives her last months
salary. These reports are necessary
and essential to any we'll organized
school system. If the register of
every school were kept in full and
the succeeding teacher could have
access to it at the beginning of the
school a great deal of time could
be saved and a large amount of shit"
or miss classifications at the be-
ginning of the schools would be cut
out. All can easily be done and by
all means ought to be done. -
There is but one fair way that L
know of to do these things and that
is to follow the law and the contracts
Hence, each and every teacher is
earnestly requested to make out her
report before she presents her war
rant to be, cashed. In the event she
fails to do this her warrant will
have to be sent back to her until
the reports come in. The teachers
will please bear in mind that many
of the warrants are handled
through the banks, and by the teach
er sending in her reports promptly
and on time will keep out the con-
fusion of a warrant being sent back
to her bank. trust all the teachers
will remember and observe these
necessary things. If any teacher
should forget and send in her war
rant to be cashed without first hav-
ing sent in her reports, and if she
does not receive her pay, why she
ran just remember that am an
sympathizer with her. for
some of my salary is now held up
and has been held up for three
months because / am unable to get
in the proper reports required by law.
But have no complaint to make, be-
cause it is nothing but right.
Another important factor which will
greatly help our school work, and that
$ for parents to send their children to
school. This is one of the most diff
icult problems in school work. 1t |

is an evident fact that the teachers
can not teach children unless they
are in regular attendance.
The compulsory attendance law re-
quires all children between the ages
of seven and sixteen inclusive to
attend school. Any parent or guard

to fine Of not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000 for the first Of

The sheriff has been appointed to at

shall be necessary for this county.
I earnestly ask the cooperation of
the teachers. parents and other
friends OF the schools in the effort to
bring to every boy and every girl in
this county that which inherently be-
long to him.
The war brought out some sur
prising statistics about men being
unable to read and write. There
are more children in Obion County
who have not been going to school than
anyone would ordinarily think This
condition is here. How much can
we do to relieve it? The w. G. t.
U. pledged its cooperation at re-
cent meeting for which the teachers
are thankful. If superintendent.
teacher, parent and friend would do
there very best to see that from now
on not child in the county shall
grow into manhood or womanhood
without, at least, public school ed
ucation, great dong step in this di-
rection would be taken. AS it is a
very, very few ever go 70 complete
the first eight grades of school
work.
During the year 1917-1S there
were 1921 children of school age
in Obion County. There were 4558
white boys, 434S white girls, SS7 negro
boys and 1913 negro girls. Out of this
there were 4547 in average daily
There were 1919 in the first
grade, 897 in the second grade, 945 in
the third grade, 915 in the fourth grade,
813 in the fifth grade, 500 in the sixth
grade, 500 in the seventh grade, 504 in
the eighth grade. In high school there
were 249 in the first year, SO in the se-
cond year, AZ in the third year, 33 in the
fourth year. Hence. it does not take
any expert mathematician to find
out that the burden of our school
problem is not at the top; namely
high school: it is at the bottom, to
wit: in the first five years of the
child's school life. What can there be
done to give the great number of chill
dren, who never reach beyond the
fifth grade, the most efficient train
Ing for life, and what can there be
lone to hold these children in school
longer? This is the problom which |
IN my humble opinion, taps at the |
very fountain of school life. This
IS the problem that is up to the
.eacher, boards, and parents to solve. |

Mr.. Hoover is actually preparing a
statement to refute this part of Mr.
Vanderlip's speech. Mr.. Hoovel
says that, if producing countries like
North and South America extend
sufficient credit there will be enough
food to go around.
There is an agreement among
Americans abroad with Mr.: Wander
lips contention that America must
grant Europe sufficient credit. But
they deny that it is an insolvant Eu-
rope with which America will have
to deal. The problem. as the experts
see it, is triple one: to supply work
ing capital to Germany, to finance
Poland and other new nations, and
to extend credit to the old nations Of
Western Europe.
On the point the American expects
in Europe agreed: namely, that gov
ernment credits to the Allied nations
shall cease. 1t is the desire Of the
treasury officials and experts alike
that from now on private credits
shall take the place of government
credits as rapidly as possible. This
is sound policy and should be fol-
lowed except in the case of the new
small nations, such as Poland and
Czechoslovakia. whose need is inn
mediate and where private capital
could not be expected to flow quick
ly enough to meet their pressing
needs. 1t is gratifying to find that
Mr.. Vanderlip's gloomy prophecy is
not entirely justified.

Seeks Reasons for Failure
of Newcomers in
Louisiana
New Orleans Association of
Commerce to Look into
Dairy Possibilities

| Why have there been so many
failures in the dairying industry
in this state?
Why do conditions fail to sat
isfy many of the newcomers?
These important questions
have been taken up for solution
lby the Agricultural Bureau of
the New Orleans Association of
Commerce which has appointed
Committees to investigate and
make recommendations with a
view to remedying faults and
improving conditions.
From one community alone
last year 80 per cent of the
farmers brought from the
North went back. Forty dairies
went out of business in one Par
|ish last wear. e
The Agricultural Bureau in
'vites farmers, land men, any cit
izen who would like to see the
state develop and particularly
new settlers to write letters Civ
ing the Bureau the benefit of
their observations of any unfav-
Iorable conditions and sugges-
tions as to what should be done
to make conditions in Louisiana
more favorable for agricultural
development.
Dairvmen and milk users are
invited to write the Bureau
their views as to what are the
unfavorable conditions working
against the development Of LOU
isiana as a dairying State and
what should be done to make
dairying more successful and
profitable.
