Report of County Superintendent,
Geo. Sanford read and on motion or
Mr.. Healy adopted.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen -
In accordance with law and an established
custom l herewith submit for your consldera-
ton my second annual report
Since coming into the office OF county super
intendent. the foremost idea in my mind has
been, 10 make the schools meet the needs OF the
boys and girls. l have considered their eduea-
ton the most important business OF our
county.
our educational interests are very closely
associated with industrial and scciaI
growth. Progress in educational matters Is
essential and an order TO make forward strides,
the material and methods employed IN senool
work, must of necessity change from time 70
time. School buildings. school equipment ana
school conditions have not kept pace WIN
improvements in other fields of activity In our
county Our children must be housed and
equipped with modern houses and equipment
just as our stock is. All are beginning TO real
lze that buildings and equipment OF t@enty-
five to seventy years ago are no longer suitable
for school purposes any more than the reaper
ox-tean, straw barn or little log houses are
suitable for present day purposes. The world
moves and all things must move with It or be
inadequate for present use and purposes.
Boys and girls must be taught in the terms OF
their present day surroundings and their mes
work. Public sentiment is demanding that It
be done. The schools are playing more I'M
portant part than ever IN our strenuous eron-
onic and social life. The school must tit chill
dren for the full duties Of q better e!tzenship
and for the iife's work. During the past year
much attention has been paid to advising better
equipment and calling attention OF districts to
the need of fewer and better school houses.
The high cost OF material and scarcity Of Ia
Dor has made the effort less fruitful than 1t VIII
be during the coming season.
Improvement and Building Projects

past summer. two more ready TO buud

pride Of the county. and yet it VIII cost only
about one-half more than the cost Of a mod

one of the farmers in that district to house ms
stock. Avalanche school has been remodeIed
and made into a state graded school. Fur
naces nave been put into five more school
buildings and inside toilet in one. Two more
districts have made artive moves towards new
buildings in the places Of those they have be-
cause the buildings unfit for school pur-
poses.
II is extremely wise and fortunate that the
legislature, few years ago, provided Tor su-
peryising teachers to assist the county super
intendent. Last year every rural school
