The future life of our nation de
pends on the character of the BOSS
and girls of today, and more cle
Settle on the home lif and school
life In building (his character than
most people are ready to admit.
During the past forty five year
we have been building up a great
stale, financially. All this lime we
iMVe done much to increase the ef
ficieney of our schools through the
building up of a great high school
system, the establishment of four
state normal schools, and one great
untverslty. These are the pride of
our citizens and the wonder of
neighboring states that are pattern
ing after us. Great praise is due
the men and women who have thus
accomplished so much. In establish
ing these schools the rural Schools
have not been forgotten, but they
have not progressed so rapidly The
course of study for the olenicniary
schools has been the meant of mak
ing a graded system for our rural
schools second to none In the Unit
ed States.
All this has been secured through
the activities of the teachers and
school officers who have so SSfSMSl
ly devoted a portion of their lives to
the great work of laying a founda
tion for one of the greatest edUCJ
Hernial structures on the face of the
earth. In visiting the country
schools in different parts of the
state I find excellent work being
done, a great improvement in the
preparation of the teaching force, in
the equipment of the schools, and
in the general sanitary conditions.
The old fashioned schoolhouse In
many parts of the state has been
replaced by a commodious modern
building, well equipped, well venti
lated, heated and lighted, set in
grounds beautified with appropriate
trees and shrubbery, with sufficient
space devoted to playground pur
poses. This improvement may be
come more general by a united ef
fort on the part of the teachers,
school officers, county superintend
ent, each doing his jmrt to raise
the efficiency of our schools. There
Is another interest that is needed to
accomplish the greatest good, and
that is the hearty cooperation of the
pOtTOM of the schools
In calling your attention to the
above items, members of school
boards, 1 am In hopes that you will
be active during this spring an;!
summer, up until the time of the
annual meeting, in arousing public
sentiment to such an extent that
all the patrons of the school will be
present to urge a school for t In
coming s:hool year that will he spok
en of as an "id call school."
We do not wish a revolution of
the schools, but we do desire ba t r
results for the money spent to iu.mii
tain them.
The course of study is good
probably as good as has been pub
lished, but it is not ye. well bal
anced- One-fourth of the time test
is spent in the schools should be
devoted to the vocational sidf of
life, so that all boys pad girls Who
could do a few things so well that
sanitation deserves special attention
at the hands ,.i .-very teacher and
school officer, for good health Is
necessary to the right development
of our chilclr. n. Just now In nearly
every country school one or more
pupils are preparing for the eighth
grade examinations, looking forward
to entering an approved high school
next fall under the provisions ol
the free high school law. Lend
such pupils your interest and sup
port. Tiy your hearty co-operation In
these and other school matters you
will be an active factor In making
Post school stand out prominently
in the state
For any informal ion thai you can
not secure from your county super
intendent directly, please feel free
to write the state department, and
we will be pleased to assist in ev
ery way possible. On points of law
always consult your county snperln
tendents first as they are near at
hand and are well informed as to
your needs, and are anxious to as
sist you in making your schools
first -( lass.
Yours for the best possible school
for our boys and girls.
