Looks may kill, since I'm no

In one place the instructor
used bad psychology - didn't
apply it to the visitor; changed
the whole recitation from what
must have been a serious reve-
lation of what was not being
accomplished = to something
that 7 have often seen used in
the sixth grade.
Perhaps this explains a ques-
ton asked of me recently by a
college man, weinberg, what is
the matter with your Hardin
high school?" Is it too much
sixth grade stuff, or not enough
of some real stuff?
OF course I'm not a total
stranger, but I met one teach
er, a stranger to me, who was
honestly glad to have me visit
the class and made certain ap-
ologies atterward.
In another department the
teacher didn't bother to say
hello, goodbye, or otherwise, but
at the close of the session beat
more than so per cent of the
class from the room and so far
as I am concerned has never
returned. 7 waited as long as ]
thought I could - but had to
get over to the other building
to another class.
We pay our superintendent
for district 17-H the neat sum
of $3O00.O 90 per year. Twelve pays
a year. He is paid for all year
work, and I for one will raise
no objection. Let us digress: We
can get a first class business
administrator out of anyone OF
several business houses in Har-
din. Our superintendent must
be more than a business admin
i%strator, he must be able to
criticize the work of our several
departments. Some of the work
will take a lot of criticism, some
will take a little.
Barring discipline, in no case
did I think the teacher was
lacking in qualifications, they
simply fail to deliver. So con-
scious are they of their quail
fications, they forget the child
has not attained to the mark
Of the high calling. There are
cases where more cooperation
should be obtained - unless the
teacher preserveres this will not
| be attained. Let them check
back to the attachments of theil
| college training.

some of the teachers. Right now
we have on our payroll teach
erS who should have been passed
on to some place where they
can do more rood than they
have ever done here.
Too often the school board
takes orders from someone who
should be claSsed as a racketeeE
- one who has no child inter-
est whatsoever and in many
cases contributes a mighty small
amount to those funds which he
glibly advises spent.
I haven't had the opportunity
to visit all the grades - most
such visits are in the country:
I am more ,favorably impressed
with the work done in the
grades.
Parents will recall that I am
always interested in the young
sters school work.

lows: I purposely followed a
certain group from one class
room to another and will make
this report to three families, If
you will take care of your boy
I believe there will be no further
difficulty with the other boys in
our high school. There are a
few girls who need calling down,
yet, I believe with the boys In
hand, there will be small trou-
BILE with the girls. The teachers
have put the job off too long
today it assumes disagreeable
proportions - it is now up to
the parents who think enough
of their youngsters future.
These are not bad kids.

Is plucking her geese
For their feathers come floatm'
AS light as a fleece,
Forming a coverlet,
Warm, with the down,
Ger her tender earth babes
Reaching up thru the ground.
AS the soft blanket falls
Over each little head
Mother Nature croonS softly,
Go back to your bed,
Wait a bit longer
Till the sun't rays are warm
It's early, my children
You may come to harm"
Struggled safe. they await
The true call of spring
And dream of blue skies
Soon they will wake
With birds on the wing
Find the coverlet gone
And thank their Sky Mother
With blossoms and song.

consideration Is Que. 10 you
know: the retiring board OF
trustees has given the unborn
board of trustees their bus con-
tracts for the ensuing year
They might also have given the
new BOARD a budget for next
school year. We understand the
why's and wherefores, but why
not why?
I have been accused of know
ing little. When I finish study
ing our 17-H school system I
shall no doubt know less.
On Saturday, April 4, 1912,
we have our annual school ell
ection - or Is it?
Did you, MI. and Mrs. Voter,
have part or parcel in selecting
these candidates? May I ask
why? There is but one excuse:
someone did it for you. I do
not question the integrity of
the candidates, and I might
question the motive of the folks
responsible for these candidates.
I lay a charge on you, MI.
and Mrs. Voter; you are not
sufficiently interested in either
the youth of our community or
in the spending of your own
money. This is our school sys-
tenn, good or bad, successful
or otherwise - it is ours. I'm
less we put our shoulders to the
wheel we have no right to crab.
Now pardon me for being per-
sonal: I have a confession to
make. Just at this time I have
some enforced leisure. Such
days are few. I have learned to
my chagrin that I can take
several days off during the
school year for the sole purpose
of visiting our schools. Within
itself it is a matter of education.
I spent the entire day, Satur-
day, March %, visiting different
classes within our high school.
Here is my report, these obser-
vations are my own, the criti-
cisms are my own. DEPRESSING
for the moment - some OF
these criticisms have been Of
fered previously by one who
should be (get it, should be-

tons been followed the follow

have been improved. Get this
I have no personal axe to grind:
all of my youngsters are doing
very well in school.
The bell rang halls emp
tier, most doors closed, but be-
hind too many of these doors 1t
sounded like pandemonium had
broken loose. Was your young
ster there? On two occasions

Since this is our school, I op-

There was a breathless pause
