BETTER SCHOOLS AND
BETTER TEACHERS URGED

character foremost in the qualif
cations of a frst-class teacher.
She likened the selection of
teacher to fishing from a grab bag,
stating that the results were Just
about as uncertain. She advised
a personal interview in hiring a
teacher whenever possible. She
said that if applicants for schools
in the county would file their
names at the office of the county
superintendent, where a complete
record of their past work, as we'll
as their character and personality
might be kept on file. it would
assist the school boards materially
in hiring teachers.
Miss Marie Herman, county
nurse, spoke on malnutrition.
She advocated scales i'll every
school, and with a chart showed
the means of detecting malnutri-
ton by means of scales, the weight
of each child for its height being
used as standard. Miss Herman
cited as causes of malnutrition
mouth breathing, eye-strain, spinal
curvature, and lack of control in
the home as TO food and clothing
of children. Over fatigue, being
caused in rural communities by
too much hard labor on the part of
the children, is an important cause,
as are also faulty food habits, and
bad teeth which are caused often by
a wrong diet She advocated hot
lunches and milk for school child
rem and mentioned some remark
able gains in weight made by
children in the.county.
Miss Ida Bradley, county super
intendent of schools, in her talk at
the afternoon session on Require
ments and Suggestions" touched
on the following points; the proper
preparation of teachers lessons;
the necessity of doing the janitor
work we'll, if at all; the danger of
letting the janitor work interfere
with the teachers school duties;
the importance of music in rural
schools, and theuse of phonoe raph
in come ction Herewith. While
the schools have good hot lunch
equipments, many of them show
signs of disuse, said Miss Bradley.
She urged upon the teachers the
necessity of serving the pupils with
hot lunches. The Importance of
reading circle work was mentioned
by Miss Bradley and she asked the
teachers to make it 100 per cent
year.
Miss Margaret Hardie, county
supervising teacher, in her talk on
Iron County Over-age Children"
gave the percentage of average
children in the county as 40 per
cent, this condition probably being
due to the large percentage of for
eigners in this county.
Miss Idell Urquhart gave some
very pleasing vocal numbers during
the afternoon. The community
singing at both sessions was led
by Prof. J +. Murphy, with Miss
Jessie McCrae at the piano.
The convention was marked by
record breaking attendance of
school board members and teachers,
there being but one teacher in the
county absent.

BE right about what you write
about"-that is one large daily news
papers motto and it would be the
best thing that ever happened to this
country if every newspaper would a.
dept it and endeayor to live up to it.
A great many newspaper reporters
in their eagerness to secure news are
not careful to run down the detail
and see that their stories are correct
IN every particular. They quote people
as saying things they have never
thought; they give them relatives that
were never born. Many times people
dream for life time of breaking into
print. but oft times when they do
their own friends do not recognize
them. The press indeed has a wonder

wonderful way, but occasionally it
