without destroying property. We
have found our students appreciate
having a Halloween party. Many
mysterious plans are being drawn up
and a good time is in store for the
students.
Special to Teachers Meeting
Plans are being made to secure a
large delegation to the State Teach
ers' Meeting at Great Falls, Nov. 21,
% and %. If present plans are AR
ried out, a special sleeper will be at
tached to No. 3 Sunday evening, Nov.
20. The sleeper will be parked at
Great Falls and return will be made
on No. 1 Thanksgiving morning.
Rates of one and a half fare have
been granted. If % go the special
sleeper can be secured. The actual
fare, round trip, will be 1894. The
sleeper will not cost over $500 per
person. This will be a cheap trip.
ANY person, besides teachers, who
wishes to go should let me know as
soon as possible. 1t is expected at
present that 5000 teachers will at
RNNHN
tend the convention at Great Falls
Many teachers from neighboring
schools have expressed the desire to
join the Special" starting at Wolf
Point. Last year the Wolf Point
school sent no representative while
most of the schools from this section
arranged for part or all teachers to
go. Every school in Cascade County
is to be closed that week and all
teachers in that county are required
to go.
Visited Rural Schools
Last Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, superintendent Nina McFar-
Ian and F. H. Livingston visited all
of the rural schools in District As.
Mainly because of the expert driving
of Tod Stanley, we were able to COW
er the great distances in a short time
and thus spent at least a quarter of
the day at each school.
We first visited the Warmbrod
school which is in charge of Miss E.
tina Curtis of Churidan, Iowa. Four
girls and four boys were present.
The atmosphere was there. The chill
dren were attentive and Miss Curtis
was doing some good work. The
school is in good shape with the ex-
ception of banking. We hope this
will be done before cold weather sets
in. The Halloween designs added to
the attractiveness of the rooms.
We crossed the country from there
to the Wide Awake. Here are en-
rolled five boys and two girls. This
school has always been one of our
best. Things were not going to suit
us, and a change of teachers was de-
cided upon. Miss May Murphy
started her work there last Monday
and we hope that she will bring the
school up to it's former rank. The
swing has been put up and as soon as
the rope is attached the children can
enjoy themselves.
From the Wide Awake we went to
the Pioneer where Mrs. H. R. Miller
is teacher. We did not hear any rec
itations and so cannot judge the &C
ademic work being done. We shall
make another trip in the near future
to see some of the work. Mrs. Mil
Ter needs much better cooperation
from the patrons of the school in
order to make it worth while to keep {
this school open. :!
The building is still as it was when
hauled over although the first month /
of school ended October Z. The air ]
of delapidation about the building I
would discourage hardest of teach {
ers and children. Supplies have been
ordered but many of the little things
must be done in order to make a
school. All of us need to do a little '
if we wish the Pioneer to rank first. s
Eleven children are attending this J
school, five boys and six girls. The
daily attendance is good. I
+, Liberty Leads
From the Pioneer we drove to the t
Liberty. Here we found the best
school in the district. The teacher is t
Mrs. P. j. Mccain. The type of work $
being done would be a credit to any !
city school. Thirteen are attnding
1t is a lucky NUMBER e were pres
ent, seven boys and three girls. Each
child is working like a beaver. Work
on the board showed that these stu ]
dents are getting knowledge worth
while. Jacob Rauch shows special
talent in drawing. No globe was in
the school so one youngster had made
one out of a pumpkin. This school
was formerly the poorest. Inside of t
six months it is in the first rank. The {
children are planning to erect a /;
swing. Map drawing and work in =,
English were the best we have seen
for some time. The other schools
will have to go some if they wish to I
overtake the Liberty. Everything in
the room was as neat as a pin. We t
hope some patron will assist Mrs. Nc 6
Cam in putting up the window
