HOW MY DISTRICT SCHOOL
COULD BE IMPROVED
(By Mae E. S. Sweatt)


Our Schoolhouse is situated at
Walden Four Corners in the town
of Walden. Being at the junction
OF -four roads, one of which passes
WITHIN few feet of the school
house door, it leaves much to be
desired in the line of playground
for the children.
1t is swampy locality and the
school yard is muddy most of the
time when it is not covered with
snow.
If it were nbt feasible to move
the building | would suggest that
town officials fence off and dis
continue the little used turn of
the road passing directly in front
OF the schoolhouse door, and re-
Qnlre teams to make a square
corner from the main road to the
cross-road leading by the left of
the schoolhouse, also they should
purchase half an acre or more of
an adjacent field. This and the
schoolyard might be graded and
seeded down at the end of the
spring term Of school By Septem-
Der the grass would be we'll root
cd and with proper care we would
soon have a fair-sized schoolyard
II, good sod. | would also recon-
mend that the yard be enclosed
with as good fence as they have
seen fit to place around each
graveyard in town the past year.
At present our schoolyard fence
consists of one strand of barbed
WIRE attached to a few drunken
looking posts.
=. row of trees Of variety that
VIII grow near swampy ground
should be placed along our new
fence. i would suggest allowing
each child to have his own tree
and help in setting it out and car
ing Tor it; they will be much more
careful that no harm comes to the
young tree if there is a sense of
ownership.
Cur rev playground might be
equipped with swing, old-fashion-
ed teeter-boards, ropes and rings,
&nd various other play apparatus
at very little cost. The older boys
could install many of these things
if we had room for them in our

The schoolhouse is sadly in need
of a coat of pant, both inside
and out. The windows do not con-
tain the area of glass required for
a standard school, neither are they
placed so as to admit light only to
the left and rear of the pupils.

Never in the history of the state
has a candidate for public office
made such an attack on the West
River country as does George w.
Egan. He makes fierce attacks on
the State Lodge. the State Game
Park. the State Coal Mine, and one
Of the tiercest upon the Custer
Satitarium, splendid institution
established by the people of the
state for the cure Of consumptives.
He would abolish all these institu-
tons. Like fury he would. He
has no intention of abolishing
them. Egan merely wants office,
and this sort of talk he thinks APP
peais to farmers East of the river
who believe that there is no tar
nal use spending any money West
of the Missouri River.
