County School News.
By Mary E. Todd.
One of the best teachers and we
have a Rood many) In Seward count;
writes us: "This is my first exper
ience in sending in examination
grades, and I aim to be teachable
and I assure you that 1 am teachable.
1 want to do the very best for the
school that I have contracted to
teach. I want to do what the state
requires in every particular. I don't
want to build myself up by pulling
down my predecessor. I want my
school to be a success and I want the
children and parnts and you to feel
and think that I have been weighed
in the balances and .not found want
ingthat the children have advanced
in their studies and in their behav
ior, and are better, happier boys and
girls for being my pupils." Suoh let
ters give us heart and courage to go
on and keep going on and trying
again harder and harder to grade the
schools of Seward counny and enable
the teachers of these Utile ones to re
alize the saving of the Master; "And
I, if I be lifted, up will draw all men
unto me."
Remember the words of the great
Pestalozzi's axiom: ''As is the teacher
so is the school."
These words of Horace Mann are as
true today as they were nearly a cen
tury ago; "All knowledge is natural
ly attractive to a child and it is our
own fault if he does not love It."
New York is to speed ;iO,(MK),(HX) on
education this year. Seward county
Is to spend about 2ti,000.
A Massachusetts woman lias left
her estate to the old maids of her
town. To whom would she have giv
en it had she lived In Liberal? We
have not a single old maid in our
city. .
According to the tabulated census
of the school population of Kansas
just oompleted by State Superintend
ent E. T. Falrclnld Kansas lost 34
school children last year. The great
er part of the loss has been in the
country and small towns.
A college Professor tells us that it
is demoralizing to listen to ragtime
on Sunday. Why on Sundays any
more than on other days?
An English inventor is working on
a wireless telephone that will enable
one to talk any distance. Moreover
wheu perfected he can carry a receiv
er in his pocket and be righn in touch
with his home or ottlce at any lime,
What is the Shuster Incident?
Where did it happen?
Dr. Hlgglnbotham made us a pleas
ant call Saturday, lie told us he
would examine all school children
free for diseases of the ear, eye, throat
or nose. It often happens that ad
vancement in a child's studies is pre
vented by something being wrong
with the childs ears or eyes, nose
or throat. To do their best children
should be physically souhd.
The following happened in Fort
Worth, Texas. Forced by his teacher
to stand before the school and chew
wads of paper as a punishment for
persistence in the chewing gum hab
it, Jerry Micke, aged 11, is dying from
lockjaw.
Mrs. White, who lives near Arka
lon called Saturday to talk over her
daughter's plans for the remaining
school year. Miss Emma has been
under the doctor's care for quite a
while and we are glad to state that
she is getting better am is now able
to attend school regularly. She Is,
one of our common school graduates
of l!K)! 1!I0, and Is titling herself
to be a teacher.
David Starr Jordan, president of
Leland Stanford, Jr., University, will
speak to the farmers and teachers at
Manhttan sometime between De
ubr 26th and 30th. We heard
him several years ago at a Slate
Teachers' Association at Topeka. He
is worth going to hear.
Teacher "Is there any connection
between the animal and the vegetable
kingdoms?"
Bright pupil "Yes, mum, there's
hash.'.'
State. Superintendent K. T. Fair
child at the recent teachers' associa
tion In Topeka said: "The rural
schools have been neglected by edu
cators everywhere in the country."
He said this before the committee on
rural schools and said that the rural
schools, which contain the best raw
material, are neglected in that their
teachers are lamentably untrained
and wanting both in years and exper
ience. It Is an old, timeworn idea
that anybody can teach the country
children. The country people are
waking up, and in the future the
rural schools will be K(;uAl, at least,
to the more favored schools of the
city. "No untrained hands should
play upon the harp when the chords
are left forever in the strings." Par
ents, visit your schools, and see if the
little ones are being given' as much
time and patience as are the larger
ones. See if your children are keep
ing pace with the course of study.
See if they understand the work gone
over. Give them a test onee in a
while and see if they understand the
work on which their grace cards
show that they made !H) and 100 per
cent. "The proof of the pudding is
the eating of it." If your children
are doing well they will be delighted
to show you what they can do. If
ihey are doing poorly it is high time
that you find it out and help to make
a change. The teacher alone can ifbt
do all. ,
Nearly all the second month re
ports are in. A few have, not yet ar
rived. Please see to it, teachers, that
they start immediately. We do not
wish to receive two reports at the
same time. We wish you to send the
report each month. A few of the
Srst month's reports are not in yet.
