dav.
Mr.. Livingston has been giving

Messrs. Coffey Toavs and Living
ston have completed the rounds of
the EIGHT rural schools. Our schools
as whole are doing as good work
as other years. Some are doing much
better. Two or three of the teach
ers are handicapped because of ex-
isting conditions. These conditions
will be bettered in the near future.
Some will have to be remedied by the
board some by the superintendent;
some by the teacher: some by the
patrons and some by the pupils-the
cooperation of all is needed. Two
of the schools have been moved re-
.cently and several things are needed
to out them in shape.
I'm order to have a successful
school you need the following: /
teacher who is well prepared for her :
work: a teacher who is willing to !
work and is interested in her school; o
necessary equipment; necessary sup +
plies; pupils who attend regularly, >
and patrons who are interested in q
the school. n
Two or three of the schools will
he cold this winter unless banked. "
The teacher and older pupils need f
the help of patrons in order to do +,
this. Some schools need supplies. v
Patrons who come to town can help Il
much by taking these out. Two or
three schools have swings that are II
ready to be put up. Patrons should f.
helm the teacher. Some of the rural !,
schools have had community after n
noon. At this time the swing has /,
been put up, light repairs made on n
the building. floors scrubbed and l.
oiled and desks mounted. ii
Extra Equipment
Some extra equipment was added n
IL the schools through the expendi- /
t11re of money raised at school pro-
grams last year.
The Krohn school has clock, an
organ and several beautiful pictures; :
the French school has phonograrh; ~
the Pioneer school has clock, an
organ and number of new library
books; the Wide Awake has an organ
and a clock Much can be done 10 ;,
make pleasant school if all coore- u
rate. The Wide Awake and Pioneer az
scaools have very nea' vel OILED e.
fiocrs. | understand that the pat CT
/ -. fave done much to put these ili
floors in good shape during the pa! ST
rwa Years. Mounted desks add to tn
the appearance of a room. pi
A sand box is of much value. All OF
that is needed is heavy box about III
a foot deep and three bushels OF Ga
clean sand Sand is plentiful if some
patron is willing to haul it.
