Every afternoon from 4 to tf o'clock she meets the kindergarten work ers in a class , where a regular course of study Is carried on In the theory nnd prac tice of the kindergartens , which couise leads up to graduation and the receiving of a dip loma. Mrs. Hardman also plans all the work for the several kindergartens and counsels all the workers In the administra tion. Not only are her duties very onerous , but moat Important , as the entire adminis tration of the nix different kindergarten de- partmentH Is directly under her charge. City Superintendent Hayden Is n strong advocate of the kindergarten department In the pub lic school system. "Tho closing of the second year finds the kindergarten work established as a very Important branch of the public schools of this city , " said he yesterday. "In the kin dergarten the child learns Its first lesson of freedom under control. The study of form and of quantity ns carried on by the uses of kindergarten gifts lays the foundation for on arithmetic. The occupations , weaving nnd cutting , give the child the firot manual training leading up to his work in penman ship and drawing In the graded schools. The use of objects and their namra and the stories of the kindergarten prepare the child for his work In reading and language. "Tho kindergarten has 'been ' a feature of our public school system for a sulllclenl length of time to demonstrate Its usefulness. The enrollment , together with the Interest manifested by the parents , Is sulllcient evi dence of the fact that the kindeigartent. have met a positive need. An Important feature of the work has been the mothers' meetings at frequent Intervals nt each of the Bchool buildings whore kindergartens are main tained , At these nieetlngn questions of in terest to the kindergarten workers and the parents cf the pupils have been made the subject of frco discussion. The result hua been of material benefit to both teacher and parent. Kor the success of the work In the kindergarten department great credit Is duo to Mrs. Hardman and her efficient and faithful - ful corps of assistants.

Carrlpil l'i | to tinStatr Suiirrlii- ti'iiiloiit on Ai | | > ral , The High school site appeal case recently decidedly In favor of the Board of Education by County Superintendent Sawyer has been taken to the state up superintendent on ap peal by the attorneys for T. L. Smith , the appellant. Notice to this effect was received yesterday by County Superintendent Sawyer from the state superintendent and later tbo attorneys served him nnd the members of the School board with the usual notice. The notice from the state superintendent requires Superintendent Sawyer to forward him within thirty days n copy of nil the pa pers filed In the case ; a copy of the records of all evidence given and proceedings hnd at the trial , a phtt of the district towhich the case Is related , showing the boundaries , location of school houses and sites , dwell ings , etc. , the names and addresses of every person directly Interested In the caso. and n copy of the superintendent's decision. A question has arisen as to who should bear the expenses of the hearing before the county superintendent. The reporters whu took shorthand notes of the evidence and then made a transcript on orders from the county superintendent put In a bill for JUT. This was referred to the Board of County Supervisors by I'rof. Sawyer , but on the advice of the county attorney the bill was rejected nt the session of the board yester day afternoon. On the bill being referred to him by the supervisors County Attorney Kll- pack gave his opinion as follows : "I know of no law that authorizes you to alrow and pay the bills of either of the shorthand reporters for services rendered In reporting evidence and making transcripts thereof In the case of T. L. Smith , appel lant , against the Independent School district of Council Bluffs , recently tried before Count > Superintendent Sawyer. I think thn bill should be rejected. I am nwnro of the fnct that nn opinion has been given hereto fore from the olllco of the slate superintend ent to the effect that the Board of Super visors should pay such bills. In my Judg ment that opinion has no binding force or effect upcn you and In an > case it would bo bad law. The litigants should take care of the costs In their case. Transcripts of short hand notes nro not made nt the expense of the county In nny civil case. "Section 2S21 of the school laws of Iowa says. 'The county superintendent In air mat ters triable before him shall have power to Issue subpoenas for witnesses which may be served by nny peace ofllcer , compel the at tendance of thos.0 thus servLMl and the giv ing of evidence by thorn , In the same man ner nnd to the same extent ns the district court may do and such witnesses and olllcers may be allowed the same compensation as Is paid for like attendance or service In such court , which shall be paid out ot the con tingent fund of the proper school corpora tion ; but If the superintendent Is of the opinion that the prc-cceedlngs wore insti tuted without reasonable cause therefor , or if , In case of an appeal , it shall ho sus- Ulned , he shall enter such findings In the record nnd tax all costs to the party respon sible therefor. A transcript thereof shalr be Hied In the olllco of the clerk of the district court nnd a judgment entered thereon by him , which shall bo collected as other Judg ments. ' " In rendering his decision Prof. Sawyer failed to tax the costs to cither side. He- holds with the state superintendent that they should be brrne by the county. Members of the School board and others not In favor of the litigation attacking the action of the Board of IMucntlon express the opinion that In accordance with the scctlcn hereinbefore quoted that as an appeal has been taken by the appellant the costs should be taxed to him and the trans-rlpt of the same filed with the clerk of the distrlst court. Those opposed to the action of Smith nnd his nt- torneys hold that It would be an Injustice on the taxpayers to make them bear the ex penses of the litigation In the event of the School board's action being upheld through out.

The Board of County Supervisors at Its adjourned session yesterday as a board of review failed to take any action in the matter of the assessment. This was duo to the fact that City Assessor Hardln has not yet turned over the assessment books ot Council Bluffs to the board and until that is dcno the board will not take the matter up. Jt was said yesterday that the books would be forthcoming today. The de lay is caused by the fact that the totals have not yet been footed , despite the fact that the city council sitting as a Board of Equalization accepted the assessment rolls and confirmed the valuation made by Har dln.The actionof the city councllrnen has aroused considerable comment. TJie county auditor was instructed to draw a warrant for $1.000 appropriated by the board to assist the PottawAttamle County Fair association of Avoca , the association having showed that It had complied with the cqndltlons upon which the appropriation wasimade.

( Special. ) Believing that much of the personal prop erty In this county escapes the assessors , the Board of Supervisors , which has earned the title of being "up-to-date , " will under take to add some of the omissions by a search of the probate records of the county. To this end the board has Instructed the auditor to make a thorough Investigation of all such records and list all property found therein that is not found on the as sessor's books. It is thought by the board that In this manner considerable assessable property that now escapes taxation can bo placed so as to return a revenue to the county treasury. iy Itiiln.
