COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Mrs. Matte Perkins of the Cedar
Falls school is proving to be one OF
the most enthusiastic and enterprls-
ing rural teachers in the county. The
following extract from one of her re-
cent letters mot intended for publ
cation) will give some idea as to the
effort she is expanding and the sue
cess with which she Is meeting.
sour school board held a meeting
this afternoon to discuss ways and
means for the approval of our school.
The interest in the school and its well
fare is high just now and we have to
move as swiftly as possible to keep
it so. The board has proposed to
find sale for quantity of cedar posts
that can be cut from the school
grounds, and with the proceeds drill a
well or make cistern.
eve have about thirty dollars, pro-
ceeds of the boxsupper held Novem-
Der LIST, which could be applied to Ii
brary books and maps"
Mrs. Perkins goes on to state that
her board is in accord with her plans
and is giving her its hearty support
in every way. The County Superin-
tendent expects to be able to approve
her school within few weeks, but in
accordance with his announced policy
will not do so until all requirements
for approval are complied with to the
letter. While he might approve quite
a number of rural schools now, he be-
lieves it would in reality prove an in
Justice to the children were he to APP
prove simply for the fact of outside
appearances. The rural schools will
never make proper progress as long
as they are falsely encouraged by be-
ing told that they have reached the
very high degree Of efficiency set for
approval, when as matter of fact
they are still below such standard.
The County Superintendent has no de-
sire, however, to brighten the rural
people into believing that it is hope
less task for them to secure approval
of their schools. On the contrary, he
expects that they redouble their eff
forts and he shall be very glad to ap-
prove a number of rural schools just
as soon as, in his opinion, minimum
requirements have been met.

"The standard tests are for the first
time made available for the general
use of teachers in Professor Monroe's
untcchnical and readable presentation.
He discusses only those tests that have
been proved successful; he explains
the use of the tests, the scoring Of re-
suits and the application of these re-
suits to actual school work. Teach
ers are hereby given the means Of de-
termining the individual ability of
their pupils, the progress of their
classes as compared with other class
es, and their own personal efficiency.
Upon the basis of This knowledge they
are directed how to increase teaching
efficiency and how to bring unsatis-
factory work up to standard"
