their assignment on the program by a
short exercise illustrating with letter
cd cards WHY We Came" This ax-
ercise showed that they came because:
They wished to be better teachers,
and to have better salaries. To teach
in better schools, where there are
better buildings with better coopera-
tior, better boys and girls, who will
have better health and grow up to be
better citizens, who will build better
roads and raise better livestock, and
W better farms. That these citizens
may have a better knowledge of the
better things that will make a better
community in a better nation.
There were about one hundred eigh-
teen teachers and county superinten-
dents at this meeting. Those going
from Hand county were: Kate Bow
con, Electa Penwell, Edithe Miller,
Muriel Miller, Leonore Creager, Her
bert Britzmann, Blanche Russell, Ida
Anderson, Marcia Hackett, Elda Roth,

at Aberdeen. Herbert Britzmann of
Wheaton township will represent the
Hand county teachers

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Equipment has been ordered to put
the playground apparatus in good con-
dition again. The Giant Stride will
again be as good as new and the other
equipment repaired. Also efforts are
being made to put the old slide back
in condition for use.
The fountains in the school build
ing are being overhauled and equipped
with new attachments. There will be
w fountains running on first floor
and one on second floor. Last year
there was n running about half the
time in the whole building.
Paper cover are being ordered for
all the text books. This will make the
books much more sanitary than before
and whenever a book changes hands
a new cover can be put on 1t will
also help to preserve the books.
A textbook deposit of one dollar
will be required of each pupil in the
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth grades; and two dollars OF eacn
pupil in high school. The limit from
any one family will be four dollars.
At the close of the school year all
those taking first class care of their
books will receive what they' deposit
back. Those not taking care of their
books as they should will have an
amount due to the unnecessary dam
age to the books deducted from their
deposit fee before receiving it back.
This deposit will be due the first day
Of school. II is hoped by the deposit
system to have the text books (Which
cost over two thousand dollars) better
taken care of.

years and life lasts fifty years more.
That four years of preparation for
your life work means a good bit TO
you.
Our High school aims to prepare
young men and women for life as well
as for further education. We want
our graduates to be able to live a
broad, healthful, enjoyable life as well
as to be aole to make a better living.
We offer courses to meet the variou
needs Of the people. We have a
Manual Training, Domestic Science,
and a Commercial course, besides the
Academic work. We have a good
Science course and are adding special
equipment to make it one of the best
in the state this year. We have a
special music teacher and are trying
to locate a Normal Training teacher.
Both of these are new this year. We
want to have Agriculture as soon as
possible. We have over thirty boys
and girls from outside Of the Miller
district Our High School is a mem
Der Of the North Central Association
and there are only twenty-three high
schools in this state that are good
enough to become members.
We are planning on having an en-
ioyable yea for everyone. We want
you among us. The text books are
furnished. Hoping to see you with us,

OUR RURAL SCHOOLS

Eighty-iYe rural schools are ready
to oDen school either August thirtietb
or September sixth. Many schools
have made improvements TO their
buildings. These include painting,
new furniture, cloak rooms, and out
buildings. Six districts have new
building plans in different stages of
construction.
The teacher shortage seems not to
be as great as for the last two years.
All schools in the county will probably
he supplied with teachers by the mid
die of September. The wages are uni
form except in cases Of independent
districts or centralized schools
The county institute held under the
new law for the first time will be
October IL, IL and Is. On the last
day of this institute the school officers
will meet with the teachers for their
annual school meeting.
Every rural teacher is required to
do the Reading Circle work. The
books to be studied this year are:
Health Education in the Rural
Schools" and modern Elementary
School Practice"
The State Truant officer, Ira Ho-
well, has been in Miller checking over
the teachers term reports. Every
child in the county who appears to
have had an irregular attendance will
receive a truancy notice from the
State Department, and a careful check
will be kept on these pupils during
the school year. In addition to this
teachers classification reports will be
checked with the school census, to see
that every child of school age is en-
rolled in school Mr.. Howell expects
to return to the county to look after
truancy cases early in the year.

NlliSIy oOuIH DdhOId
August 2, 1920.
My dear young friend:
Through the office of the County
Superintendent ! have learned that
you have successfully passed the
eighth grade in Hand County. You
are naturally wondering what you are
going to do this next year and want
to do the thing that will mean the
most to you in the end. You have TAX
ne the first step in preparing yourself
to become a self respecting support
ing American citizen, but you ought
to go farther. You ought to at least
finish High School.
/ wonder if you are aware of the
fact that a High School education is
in demand nearly everywhere in this
world today. The United States Army
made High School graduation as a
minimum requirement in its important
branches of service, such as aviation,
engineering, and all the officers camps
Most everywhere you inquire for en-
ployment today you are asked IL you
are a high school graduate You don't
want to have to say No" The boys
and girls in France and England are
going to be required to attend school
until they are over eighteen a of
age. You certainly want more edu-
cation than those boys and girls. You
want to equip yourself the best way
possible to serve your country ana

This ought to be a valuable asset TO
Hand County in helping put out rural
schools on a higher level.
At a special session of the Legisla-
ture in 1919 funds were provided for
the establishment of Normal Train
ing departments in the high schools
of the state. State aid is granted to
all high schools putting in these de-
partments. If a high school had an
enrolment of five pupils it receives
$4,000 state aid, if ten pupils $4,000
state aid and if twenty pupils 100000
state aid. Twenty-siX high schools in
the state put in the work last year.

The School Is as Big rs the Commun.


We must stop thinking of the school
as a little building where for a little
while a little teacher teaches little
children little things out of a little
book.
The school is as big as the commun-
ity. 1t must reach out and touch ev-
cry home; it must affect and influence
and better the life of everyone in the
community.
The school cannot reach out and
influence home and community life
unless it teaches real things. Things
that concern the children and the
home folks.
On the other hand, every home must
reach in and give something to the
school The folks in every home, in
every community, have a vast fund of
valuable experience and information.
1t is their duty to pass this experience
and information on to the boys and
girls who are growing up and soon
will be responsible for conducting the
affairs of the community.
Every community has within itself
all the forces which are necessary to
develop it. 1t is the business of the
teacher to discover those forces. She
should find out the folks who know
things and car do things; she should
draw them out help them rouse their
knowledge and gifts and talent for the
good of others. EN
The meaning of the word school"
should be enlarged. It should take in
rot only the activities Of the children
IN the school house, but also the acti-
vities of the children in the home and
in the community.

Science Department

SClehce department
A ear ago only one year Of science
was offered in Miller High School with
adequate laboratory work. Within
another year four years of science will
be offered and adequate laboratory
equipment for all four years. This is
an excellen addition to the high
school work. Science is needed in
every side of life today. 1t is required
in our Manual Training, Academic,
and Home Economics courses. The
need OF more Of it was showed in the
World War. 1t is the coming depart
ment for the high schools today.
The first two years of it consists of
the very elementary Physics and
Chemistry and then more complete
work in Botany, Zoology. and Phiysio-
lCgy. This gives the pupil a very in
teresting view Of the Physical and
Chemical work and also takes him
through the life cycle of the Plant,
Animal and Humane being. The third
and fourth years of science consist
OF Physics and Chemistry alternated.
A man has been engaged to give
his entire time to the Science work.
He will also have charge of the Ath-
letic work Mr.. Hausten will have
charge of the industrial work through
out the entire grades and the Physi-
cal Education work in the grades.
Music Department
Miller will have a special music
teacher this coming year. She will
teach one OF two classes in high
school and give the rest of her time
entirely to supervision or music. This
i3 something the people of Miller have
long wanted. 1t is hoped that it will
prove a valuable asset to the boys and
girls. She will have charge of the
music work in each grade and also the
high school girls glee club, boys glee
club, orchestra and all special musical
numbers given throughout the school.

had Normal Training work, hence the
need of establishing a Normal Train
ing department to give our teachers
this required amount of Normal
Training.
Teachers have been scarce all owe
the country and especially so in the
rural districts and they leave there to
fill the vacancies in the city schools.
The qualifications Of teachers have
been poor all over the country and
this also is especially so in the rural
schools. 1t is hoped that by establish
ing these n4>nal training depart
ments all over the state not only to
relieve the scarcity of teachers but
also to raise the standard of teachers
and the work done.
There are many girls in Miller High
School and in other high schools in
this country who undoubtedly will not
be able to go on to college right after
they enter high school if at all. 1t is
best that they give the Normal Train
ing course consideration in choosing
what they will do after leaving high
school.
Teachers are being paid as much
or more in the rural schools than in
the city schools The opportunities
FOR teachers to make good in the coun-
Try are excellent. With the coming
Of good roads and consolidated schools
the life of the teachers will be much
happier. 1t is desired that the girls
who will enter occupations after fin
ishing high school consider this voca-
ton very seriously before making a

METHODIST CHURCH SERVICES
For September 10

Almost every man is occasionally
confronted with the demand of his
own judgment and conscience, that
he consider the relationship of him
self to the laws and demands of AL
mighty God. If We believe there is
a God then the question of our re-
lationship to Him and His will is
reasonable and natural. If you are
not sure of your present relation
ship then you should hear the dis
cussion Sunday morning of the sub
ject, "The Proof of Spiritual Ident-
ity'
In the evening the subject will be
christianity the Complement Of
Education" The young people now
undertaking their work for an edu-
cation can we'll afford to hear this
discussion. 1t will be both interest
ing and profitable.
