Miss Flora S. Godfrey again resumed
her school duties iu district No. 57 last
week after a six weeks visit at Wash
ington, Iowa.
Mrs. Ella Wciiner of Harrison began
a three months term of school In the
Fosket district west of Canton Wednes
day of last week.
Miss Amy llrown Is teaching1 her
first term of school in the Kluknid dis
trict west of Alliance. That she Is
giving excellent satisfaction is the re
port from the patrons of the school.
That the Mnrsland schools are doing
well was noticed during a visit there
recently. Miss Annie Kennedy teaches
the eighth, ninth and tenth grades and
Miss Nina Nation the first six grades,
there being no seventh grade.
Snpt. U. W. Hayes of the Alliance
city schools is boasting of having the
nicest otllco of anv superintcndent.ln
Nebraska. The school hoard recently
purchased a fino velvet rug for him and
wo believe with hhn that his ofllce is
second to nono iu the state.
Miss Eva Wilson elosed u successful
term of school In Dawes county recent
ly and is now finishing a four months
term in the Skinner district West of
Alliance. Miss Mattie Kingsly began
this term but was compelled to resign
after teaching six weeks on account of
sickness.
House lloll 'J30 provides that the
county superintendent shall furnish all
necessary supplies to schools of the
county unit district officers, and
that tlie same shall be paid out of the
general fund of the county. This bill
was passed by the committee of the
whole In the 'House and ordered en
grossed for tlie third reading.
Miss Marie Hansen, who was com
pelled to close her school in the Davig
district shortly after Christmas on ac
count of an attack of appendicitis,
underwent an opperation in the M. E.
hospital in Omaha and is now able to
resume her duties in the school room,
beginning Monday of Inst week. Miss
Etta Carter has been teaching there
during her absence.
Miss Anna Beaumont began a three
months' term of school In the Canton
school Dist. 31 last week. Miss Ileau
mont just returned from an extended
visit in southern California and says
she Is glad to get back to work. She
had been teaching second grade in the
Alliance schools for the past two years.
Miss Kathcrine lloddy having taken
her position when she left for Califor
nia. This district should consider
themselves fortunate iu securing so
able a teacher and now we will expect
to see those three eighth grade pupils
pass the examination in May.
No definite legislation regarding
state aid for weak districts can be giv
en at this time except that House Roll
123, asking for an appropriation of
$75,000 has been passed by the House
and referred to the senate. All proba
bilities are that this appropriation will
pass ulthough all school appropriation
bills seem to be knifed by tlio senate,
to a considerable extent. The bill has
beeDamouded somewhat, and now lim
its the districts that can receive state
aid to those which contain nine sec
tions or more, and lowers the amount
of school to five months insteati of
seven. This makes a more equal dis
tribution of the" money than that pro
vided In the bill last year.
School oflleers In several districts
throughout the county should notice
whether or not grading Is needed
around the. school iiouse. During the
thawing weather the past three weeks
we nolleed that from one to three fee,t
of water stood around some school
houses which made it impossible for
the children to get in or out of the
school house without getting their feet
wet. District No. 1 1 seemed to be iu
the worst condition in that respect as
the water stood under the school house
making the school room damp and
chilly School directors, it will be a
saving to the district in the end to have
this grading done as it will greatly
preserve the school house, and besides,
the sanitary condition almost necessi
tates its being done
Northwest Nebraska

Supt. D. W. Hayes, superintendent
of the Northwest Nebraska Declama
tory Association, which convenes in
Crawford April 0th and 10th, has plans
fully matured for the. largest district
association ever held iu northwest
Nebraska and from towns engaged the
Indications are that It will prove to be
of the greatest value to teachers of
this district.
In addition to the best talent within
the district the following persons have
been engaged to appear on the prp
gram: Dr. Win. f. Davidson, chancellor of
the Nebraska Wesleyan University;

The noted astronomer,
Rev. J. V. Clark, of Kan
sas, City, Mo., will give a
lecture in the new assembly
room at the high school
Friday night, March 26th.
Below we give the synopsis
of his lecture:
THK PLANETS
Mercury, Venus, Jupiter,
Mars, Saturn, The Earth,
The Sun.
We understand that this
lecture will be very inter
esting as well as instructive.
Rev. Mr- Clark states that
the price of admission for
all public school children
will be fifteen cents and
to the public twenty-five
cents.
Music will be furnished by the high
will go to the, .school.

school board should refuse to give their
teacher permission to attend.
It has been arranged to hnv the
early morning train stop at Intervening
towns between Alliance and Crawford
for the benellt of those who wish to go
and be there for the entire session.
Monthly Reports are Important
i
Most teachers have been very prompt
lu sending iu the monthly reports, but
a few, we fear, have neglected the
matter somewhat. Now this is very
important, especially w r th close of
the school yeur, nud'l wish that every
teacher would get the repoit mailed lit
the earliest possible moment after the
close of the month. Tills will' enable
me to check up the ""tidance of the
pupils and see tha; 1 are nttending
the required number of days, which is
the principal use of the reports.
Doing Business
There are men who do business and do
business, but J. C. McCorlde, manager of
the Nebraska Land-Co., is one of the men
who do things when it comes to real estate
business. He has been a resident of this
county for more than a score of years and
knows the country "like a book." Those
who deal with him can safely depend upon
his judgment in land values, and the in
crease in his business is one indication
that confidence in him and his dealings
has not been misplaced. He leaves to
morrow for eastern Nebraska and we miss
our guess if he does not round up a nice
bunch of business on the trip.
A Great Enterprise '
C. A. Newberry has arranged for ex
tensive, practical, scientific, experimental
farming thij year that will, we believe, be
an eye-opener to the natives as well as to
those easterners who think that Alliance
and Uox Butte county are "away out at
the jumping off place, "wherenothiogcanbe
grown without irrigation. This work will
be under the direct superintendence of
Prof. E. W Hunt, agriculture lecturer for
the Nebraska State University.
The Herald editor has personally ar
ranged with Prof. Hunt for data each'
week during the spring and summer from
which a series of articles will be published
giving an account of the progress of the
work and an accurate description of how
it is carried on, The first of these articles
will be given in the next issue of the Her
