THE EDUCATIONAL DEPT.

Few persons. If any except the teachers and
school board members. realize that there was
carried on in this county. between November
and II, series Of rural school teachers
meetings. so unique and fundamental in plan,
and 80 practical and successful in operation,
that they have received the approval ard
praise of the teachers who attended and took
part in them. forward step in teachers
meetings. and q move towards something worth
while to the teachers in their actual school
day work and benefit to their schools-one
room rural schools
The purpose of teachers meetings is and al
ways has been TO give inspiration information
and professional spirit to those who attend.
but the traditional teachers meetings have rot
and do not do any of these things for the ru-
raj school teacher. On the other hand they
often discourage. mis-inform and drive from
the profession. conscientious feathers in the
rural schools because they deal with situations
and conditions foreign to the rural school prob
lens. and talk in a language foreign 10 the
ear and experiences of the rural teacher.
The kind of teachers meetings that have re-
Gently been conducted for the rural teachers
OF this county have been planned after much
careful thought on the subject and attention
to the needs Of the rural school and its prob-
lens. The purpose of these meetings remains
unchanged but the method takes into consider
alton the factors of the problem which IS up
for solution. The method Of the traditional
teachers meeting .s about as helpful TO the
rural one room sch Dol teacher as a cook book
Is to the unproyisiUned starving people of the
far East Either would be alright in their
place but they are out of place-they do not
serve immediate and pressing needs.
The meetings which have been held in our
county do just that thing The need for the
old kind Of meetings will come later doubt.
These meetings proved most helpful and
brought out self activity and enthusiasm
which lasted over into the daily work the
teachers, and IS felt By the pupils and is shown
by better school work ,ad better schools It
is start in the right direction even il there
still IS a long way to travel That these meet
ings do fill a need Is evidenced by the sponta-
neous expressions of the teachers at the close
of each meeting and by letters received at this
office from many Of the teachers since the
meetings are over. The plan has also attract
ed the attention of outside sehoolnen and a
journal Of education who are interested in the
rural school and its problems and needs
A similar meeting for the teachers of the
state graded schools Of the second class will
be held at the Bioomingdae state graded school
on Friday, December 10. at a later date one
may be held at Coon Valley for the graded
schools of the first class, and at LaFsrge for
the high schools.
With the better salaries paid teachers the
taxpayers have a right 10 expect better SER
vice, and these meetings are proving a step in
the right direction towards better service.

A LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS
FROM A LITTLE BOY OF
TWENTY-NINE

4
TwENTY-N NINE
Dear Santa Claus, YOU need not
Apples and oranges, candies and
toys,
And monkeys that climb string
To please the little girls and boys
But> backward turn the clock OF
To when ! was boy OF nine;
And Sandy's time of all the year
Brought the day of greatest cheer.
On that glorious Christmas day,
when in my bed at night ! lay;
II seemed that Morpheus went toI
sea, |,
And sleep was never left with me.
Apples and oranges nave lost their
taste,
And even the world, spinning in
boundess space :
Abuses me no. never no more,
Thanespining my top upon the
floor.
Stevens now is but joke,
To my Daisy, with no fuss or
smoke;
When aimed at sparrow on a.
limb,
I should say! Death has decreed
on him.
And then to see him fit away on
the wing
And live another day to sing,
| boosted how near came of hit
ting him
And loaded up again to Their i'm.
Carso's chorded strains can only
warp,
The harmony found in my
French harp;
And not canoe has the gallant
Ivanhoe,
With the scheming of Robinson
Crusoe.
Breathes there man whose heart
does not yearn
For his boyhood's days return?
Breathes there then, the man whose
soHl does not pine
For the glorious heights sublime?
Let us then, the past and future
with the
Present unite
Making OF the day the happiest,
and most
Glorious Nv right.
Forward, turning the pages as we
must,
For soon we shall slumber in the
dust,
And like the seeds that sDrout ir
time, -
To bloom in a fairer land and
cline.
Then Santa Claus, my dear,
For only one day in the year,
Backward turn the clock Of time
TO my boyhood days Of nine.
And let me live in childhood's way
BE u only, just one day;
II not in body, then in mind
Ere the year adds one, to my
twenty and nine.

fell from $3.50 per thousand in 1912
to 29.2 in 1917
Official figures for 1918 are not yet
available, but in the city of Madrid
the death rate rose in that year to
