TEACHERS MEETING.

4
The next regular meeting Of the
Teachers Association will be held
Saturday, July 29th, in the High
School building, at 1000 a. m.
At this meeting we will ask those
who were to have the daily schedules
for the different schools to be ready
land present them at this meeting.
The program is:
Schedule for a one-teacher school.
w. c. Crook.
Schedule for two-teacher school.
IA. M. Travillian.
Schedule for teacher school.
Roy McPeake.
The above date was set on account
of the Fourth Saturday being so near
that Of the Institute. Remember the
date, Saturday, July 29th at 1000 a.
m. All teachers are requested to at
tend these meetings. We will expect
the teachers to attend at least fifty
per cent Of the meetings during the
year. Last year there were some of
the teachers who did not attend a sin
gle meeting. Such excuses will not
be accepted this year. / hope that
you will attend this summer especial
ly while the roads are in good condi-
ton.
The County Board Of Education
met Monday and decided that the
schools should open Monday, July II.
This date was set because it will
cause the schools to close that much
earlier this Fall.
| would like to call the attention of
the patrons of the schools that the
compulsory school law is still in
force. j hope that it will not be nee
essary for the Truant officer to i'm
pose fine on any one but if you do
not send to school he will be forced to
comply with the law.
Last year this county enrolled 5,416
students. This year we must increase
this enrolment because in addition. to
having them in school for the good it
will do them, it will give us more
money from the State. In other words
every day that your son is out of
school we will lose money. The more
students we have in school the more
money we will get from the State
treasury.
Last year / received more COM
plants from the patrons on account
of the discipline of the teachers than
from all other weak points. This was
due to a great many not beginning in
the proper way the first day Of school.
/ urge that every teacher in the coun-
lty do all in their power to correct
this fault. You should maintain the
same kind of discipline the first day
as the last. Why can't we have it
said that this will not be said of sim
gle teacher in the county this year.
|
/ This year we will have new form
lof school register. At present / have
la limited supply but will have enough
for every school soon. request that
1.-THE teachers use these registers as my
annual report as we'll as yours will be
based upon this new register and will
make it necessary to use it.
AS you know last year l urged ev-
ery teacher to keep daily record of
his school. This same policy must
be followed this year. Also, each
teacher will be required to make out
a monthly report and turn it in to me
before l am allowed to issue war;
rant for teaching until the proper re-
port is made out and turned into this
office. This will apply to high school
teachers as well as the elementary
teachers. 1t applies TO all schools in
the county alike.

FINER FARMING
BY H. A. Powers

Luther Rhodes had bunch of 60
pound shotes last winter that he
could carry over to kill this fall or he
could feed them out for the Spring
market. OF course if they were kept
until next killing time they would
make something like 400 pound pork
ers when dressed. He decided to feed
them for the spring market. He had
some corn of poor quality and they
received 45 bushels Of this. While
they were being given this ration
they had the run Of a rye field. They
also received about one dollars worth
of tankage towards the last of the
feeding period. He sold them in
April at $3.50 per hundred which
brought him in total of $3.50. The
shoats were valued at $500 per hun
bred which was above the large mar
kets but what he could have received
locally. Their total value when he
began feeding was $3.50. Subtract
this, plus $1.00 for the tankage from
the selling price and you have left
S51. 80 as the amount he received for
the pasture and corn which they ate.
Divide as into $51.S0 and you will
find that he received $1.l5 per bushel
for his corn. A reasonable charge for
pasture would reduce this figure
slightly but still give him a high
price for his corn. At this same time
corn was selling for SO cents per bush
ell in Henderson county. SHALL WE
FEED HOGS? WE SAY YES IF 1T
is DONE ON THE RIGHT BASIS.
We might also add that this same
farmer suffered considerable loss by
losing some of his hams from large
hogs which spoiled after he had salt
ed them down. We believe in killing
enough pork for home consumption
but that is as far as we can see that
the average man in Henderson county
can afford to do.
The schools will soon open. We be-
lieve in an education for every boy
and girl in Henderson county. II they
stay on the farm that is fine but if
they see fit to engage in some other
work they will not be handicapped.
We would not like to see boys make
poor mechanics or lawyers when they
might do exceedingly well on the
farm or would we, like to see boy
engage in farming when he might do
well in some other vocation in life.
HOWEVER, LET US NOT FORGET
THAT THE BUSINESS OF FARM
ING OFFERS AN OUTLET FOR
THE BEST EFFORTS IN OUR
MOST CAPABLE MEN. Men have
succeeded with little education but we
talk about them and never mention
those who have gone down to fall
ure as result of not going to school.
You can do your community no great
or service than by assisting boys and
girls to attend school.

Agriculture in Alaska

Wonderful agricultural possibili-
ties there are in far-off Alaska. In
1897 the present chief of the divl
sion of insllar stations, states rela-
lions service, made a survey OF
Alaska for the United States depart
ment of agriculture to determine
the agricultural and horticultural
possibilities of the territory. An ex-
pertinent station was established
shortly afterwards at Sitka. The visit
of the chief was recently repeated
to learn at first hand the develop
ment that has taken place in the in
tervening twenty-five years.
It has been fully demonstrated
that Alaskan agriculture can be
self-sustaining. There are now five
Alaskan experiment station-at Sit
ka, Rampant, Kodiak, Fairbanks, and
Matanuska-which have introduced
a number of improved varieties OF
hardy grains, including wheat, oats,
rye and barley, all of which are be-
ing successfully grown on Alaskan
farms, as well as vegetables, fruits,
and ornamentals Of various kinds.
These have aided settlers materi-
ally in increasing their local food
supply and in improving their home
surroundings. Whereas only two sa-
tisfactory gardens were growing in
Southeastern Alaska in 1897, excell-

ent crops of radishes, lettuce, on
ions, potatoes, peas, beans, cabbage,
caulifower, turnip, and other vege-
tables are now growing almost ev-
erywhere. In may places strawber-
ries, raspberries, currants, and
gooseberries are produced abundantly.
Small diaries have been establish
ed near number of Alaskan towns.
At Skagway oats and vetch were
grown this year to fill a silo for
winter feed for the cows. Among the
striking Investigations at the Sitka
station are those with Strawberries
and potatoes. More than 1000 n.y.

with native species and some cult
waited varieties, all having the char
acteristic aroma and flavor OF the

are being successfully grown and

ity. Several hundred seeding pota-
toes are being tested to determine
their value for Alaskan conditions.

We hope every mother, grandmother sister,
aunt and other feminine person who has
anything to do with putting up school lunches
for Young America, closely studied the two
sample luncheons which Miss Ohlendorf, the
school nurse of Redwood County, had on exhibit
at the Girls and Boys Club booth at the Fair.
On the plate containing the luncheon marked "in-
adequate" was chunk of summer sausage,
some pastry, cake, and some fat, terribly unap-
petizng sandwiches of thin unattractive looking
bread-just the kind of bread any boy or girl
would pass up for the pastry and cake. On the
adequate" luncheon plate were some attractive
sandwiches of thin bread, spead some with cheese
and some with an egg mixture that looked right
good, small sandwiches of coffee bread with plen-
ty of raisins, an orange and an apple and tiny
glass of canned fruit and best of ALL pint bottle
of milk! Just standing there and looking at
those two lunches was whole lecture on what
to give growing, active young bodies. Along
with the lunch was displayed small size luncheon
kit of metal, sanitary, modelled with a special
view to keeping things fresh and full of flavor and
with a small size thermos bottle-for the pint of
milk-in the cover of it. We repeat, we hope
every one saw it, for this little transformations
display was whole education in itself. Some
time when Miss Ohlendorf has finished the mil
lion and one things which she is now doing we
are going to ask her to prepare series of menus
of foods which the children going to schools
where they cannot get home for warm midday
meal, may enjoy and build their future upon.
In the stock barn we saw much evidence of what
careful, judicous feeding will do for pigs and
calves. Let us be just as inquisitive about what
it will do for our own youngsters. Let us study
this week, just what goes into the lunch baskets
of our children, how it goes in, and discard for
ever any of the things which we know, if we only
stop to think, are most tremendously 3inadequ-

little firmness on the part of parents at
the beginning of the school year may save lot
of real grief next June. When the schools closed
last spring there were some tragedies in the
matter of low marks and failures, and some blam-
ing of the teaching corps for results which were
really traceable to the failure of parents to in
sist upon some genuine hard study. If the stu
dent starts out the year with the habit of main
tanning standard, of spending certain hours in
quiet study at home and of not taking on so many
outside interests that he has little time for real
study, he will probably keep these habits through
out the year. If he doesn't the fault is seventy
five per cent parent and twenty-five per cent
pupil Looking at it that way instead of putting
the whole responsibility the teacher may help
to strengthen the student morale in some other
homes as we are hoping it will in our own Any
way it's worth trying.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN HIGH SCHOOL

ITCH school students, entering upon the
Fl years work with great hopes of success
4 4 will be still keener, when they learn that
the average high school graduate earns a thou
sand dollars year where the average grade
school graduate makes five hundred. Every day
spent in the high school is worth twenty-five dol
lars year to the student.
Despite this advantage, many students will
fail in one or more Subjects or drop out for one
cause or another.
Authorities estimate that ninety per cent Of
the failures Of mentally capable and qualified
students in high schools are due to out-of-school
life. If the schools could command proper
home environment and control, nearly every stu
dent would complete the course in the stipulated
time.
To many students and parents these failures
are exceedingly trying, if not battling. To such
a study of the problem made by M. c. Clark,
Superintendent of the Sioux City high schools,
may prove helpful. To some his points may seem
so evident as not to need emphasis, but they are
so commonly neglected as to cause frequent fail
ure and disappointment.
To carry on high school course demands
of every student two hours Of home study daily.
If this home work is not done intensively, the
student is not doing his part to make his high
school year success. When the parent wonders
how his son is getting through his so east
ly, the chances are he is not getting through as
he should
Home study, says Mr.. Clark should be done
alone. Tandem study work usually means that
nine-tenths of the time is wasted in visiting
Many parents are fooled by this false strategy.
Class work should not be all there is of
high school course. There are many avocations
like music, dramatics, debate and athletics that
are legitimate and rewarding. Many students
fail, because they make the mistake of scattering
their time and attention among too many of
these high school avocatons Two, as maxi
mum, are all that should engage the attention Of
a student in one year.
The high school year is great opportunity.
1t can, however, be made the success it should be-
only as the home and the student do their part
in cooperation with the school.-Minneapolis
