'
when the teacher has her hardest
"
trials , and whcn she is likely to
become discouraged , out we
, should remember "the greatest
. . and best guarantee of succcss is
- . , . first to dcscrvc success " People
f'
usually get about as much of good
as they deserve , and while thc
, results may not always be coinS -

, come , come as a reward l of meri
hence , work , work 1Vork with
thc inspiration that behind you

are thc hearts and hopes of the
very best in the contnrtutit3 and
good citizenship everywhere , and
that parental prayers go up for
your success while you arc strug-
gling on.

Eighth grade examination and
promotion is the subject that
many of our teachers arc now bc-
gining to considcr. Two schools
have alrcady given this eighth
grade examination this spring.
It is hoped that every teacher will
give her eighth grade pupils a
a chance to take this eighth
examination. Give them thc
chance to earn this common school
< ploma and thus encourage the m
to work for a higher cducation.
'rcachers please rcad thc following -
ing writer by thc Stat SupL of
Illinois , Alfred Bayliss , it is full
of rood SUro'cstions.
Now comes the teacher of thc
"l\-anhoe" public school - one
room - and serves . notice that
wc have organized an "Alumni"
in which a ( led ) interest is being
.
takcn. \V c feel that wc will
have the tcndcncy to increase visitors -
itors in the school , among par-
ents , pupils and othcrs. We have
our annual banquct December 27.
( 1"0 be an active rnenlber after
1901. one must complete thc 8th
grade work. 1'0 be.L11 . honorary
member , enc must either be thc
county superintendent of Lake
county or thc state supt. of 111. )
'l'cn to one , thc teacher of thc
"I van hoc" school , Lake county ,
Leo F. Jcanmcmc by name , has
in his makeup a trace of the qual-
ity that madc Dominic Jamison ,
of Drumtochty , an ideal school
master , that "unerring scent for
parts in his laddics" and the
"abili ty to detect a scholar in thc
cgg. " A one room school with
as good a name as'anhoc , "
with spirit and intelligence
enough to organize and look af'-
tcr its graduates will surely fol-
Iowa goodly number through thc
high school , and sonic into thc
college and among them will be
those who love their Jirst little
Alma ] later longest and most of
all. Twenty to one that schoul
room is comfortable and well fur-
nished , with tinted walls , and (
that there arc a few good pictures
there and some book cascs-pos-
sibly a museum ; that thc grounds
are thc pride of thc neighborhood (
and that they are thinking about
a school garden nest spring ; or
if it be not quite a modcl yet in
all of these ways , that Alumni
association will soon make it such.
Fifty to one thc "r van hoe" '
school has a board of director
who know : a good thing when
they see it , and will use due dili-
.
genceto keep a rood tcacher ,
