DAKOTA CITY SCHOOL NOTTS
By Prof. H. M. Eaton
"Behold, to obey Is better tliun
sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat
of rams."
Examinations for thoMirst semester
are over and cards sent homo. A
few did not make tho grado neces
sary. If better work Is not dolio
the coming semester it will bo out of
tha question to award a promotion.
LOvnlty Is a cardinal
virtue.
Therefore be loyal.
Mrs. Enrl Frederick and Mrs. R. M.
Waddell were visitors in the schools
during the past week. Wo thank
you for your inteiest ladles, and iuk
you to come often.
Parents, do not put tho entire fc-
snonsibility of the education of Jour
i children on us tcachors. t You must
' co-operate with us. Y6u, must' help
of.us Keep your citfitt wen. we must
have him with us every day,- No
good work can be dono along educa
tional lines by sllp-shdd attendance.
Why nave a school unless your child
is in school?
The state Is paying several peoplo
to go over tho statu to talk "hot
dinners" to the parents of country
school children If this js a gooil
thing in the country, why not a good
thing in the towns? Dakota City is
not no large that all iuy not have to
go homo for a hot lunch. Wo nio
going to ask that children bo not
permitted to brintf thoir dinners only
in extreme ca&es. In cases of storms
or sickness it is all right, but 'other
wise wo must ask that the school
children irstown go home at the noon
hour.
Mr. W. E. oss, county superintend
ent of schools, was a visitor during
the past week. He visited all tho
rooms and gave ua some information
on, reports. We wolcome him,. as ho
attvaaJias.epniethJnWrBjSfe.V'-
Oh, dear, whut can tha .matter bo,
Parents "won't visit the schools.
Conio on now, wo nro all set' for tho
last half of tho year. Wo want and
need your Interest. In fact wo are
interested in your interest in us ond
our work among your children.-
