quieter than it has been for some
time, and prices, as a rule, were in

rapid rise. Elsewhere declines were
confined to fractions.
Standard Oil and Indiana opened

o. L. Cross of Marion. Mo-. who was
the first speaker Of the afternoon, spoke
on the supervision Of teaching in rural
schools. He is the supervisor Of l22 one
room schools and four two-room schools,
besides nine high schools. Difficulties
arising in the supervision Of so many
schools" he said, "can be overcome by
the county unit plan, which we should
all fight manfully for, as a remedy for
inadequate supervision facilities"
c. Z. Chrane of Boonvilie, the second
speaker, said that the teachers worth
lies in the understanding Of human na-
iure.
The next speaker, Miss Lizzie L.
White Of Nevada, No., said that is was
the teamwork of the teachers and super
visors in the school work that made edu.
cation success. Her conception Of a
good supervisor is one who encourages
and inspires the teacher rather than one
who always inspecis and criticizes.
