Are you a teacher and are you to i
be present at the all day teacher’s i
meeting next Saturday? It is to be
one of the best held in Polk county for
many years. Do you know that such I
old standbys as Adams, Johnson, i
Hamby, Holman, Teel, Durham,
Trainer, Wheelis, Higgins and Atkis
son are to be there and drop chunks
of wisdom and experience for all who
will profit by plans and devices?
Have you forgotten that the following
young and ambitious teachers who
are leaving their mark in no uncertain
examples of what push and pluck will
do, viz.; Henderson, Payne, Hamby,
Thompson, White, Parish and Stan
berg. They’ll tell us how to do things.
Then, there is the exchange library
question to be discussed before the
meeting; it will have to do with a plan
of exchange, with the selection of
books appropriate for the several
grades, with their care, etc.
Possibly the most important topic is
that of a course of study for Polk
county schools. There will be ques
tinna f/i nalr aKmit it It. limit. it. I
compass, its expected results, etc. Do
you believe in having all the aid you
can get from the experience of the
past or do you want to work along
just as you are now doing, singly, iso
lated and without contact with the
spirit of progress?
Will you come and get these good
things, possibly at the expense of a
few cents?
Vickers wants to see you about that
circulating library; he wants those en
titled to twenty or forty more books to
call and get them; he wants to explain
the plan to others.
Do you know that Thacker Dry
Goods Company donated three sets of
Little Classics to the Polk county
schools?
There are the St. John Bros., who
have donated several sets of these
books and they would like to see you.
Prof. Adams and Mrs. Stratton are
collecting a big library to donate to
