I " --— District 5 School Built in 1940 (SECOND IN A SERIES) By MRS. GENE LIVINGSTON Special Correspondent The finest school building and the best of equipment do not necessarily guarantee an equal ly fine educational program be cause the final criterion of any j school’s success is: Are the pu- j oils actually learning to the best. of their individual ability? With this thought in mind,! let’s take a look at district 5, i located three miles southeast of [ O’Neill and taught by Mrs. Ma- j rie Schneider Ramold. Designat ed as a class A school last year and eligible for the rating again this year, district 5 is a rural school fully deserving of the honor. The school building was erect ed in 1940, making it one of the newer school buildings in Holt county. The surrounding grounds are attractively land scaped and well fenced. A brightly painted merry - go round, swing3, teeter - tottc.^, basketball, baseball and bat are evidence that the ample recrea tion space is well put to use. Any district considering the building of a new school might do well to note the advantages found in this plant. The large main room seems very condu cive to pleasant study with its white Venetian blinds on north windows, light oak floors, mod ern fluorescent lighting, and its softly tinted blue walls. The two large cloakrooms feature stor age space for cleaning supplies, mirrors and comb cases to en . courage neatness. Set off by an archway from the main class room is a large library alcove containing book shelves and a reading table, another storage cupboard and a sand box for the younger pupils. In a nook by the basement stairway are the wa;h ing and drinking supplies. The full basement contains a coal furnace, automatic pump, lafge recreation tables, and a kitchen with both a kerosene stove and electric hot plate. There is also a work shop with tools for the pupils to use in do ing simple woodworking. But to return to the real yard stick by which any school ;s measured; The pupils. There is an enrollment of 16: Mathew Beha, eighth; Ambrose Howard, Gene Schneider, Theresa Pribil, Charles Mahoney, seventh; Bet ty Jane Schneider, Pauline Ma honey, sixth; Agnes Mahoney, fifth; Carolyn Jean Fuhre'r, fourth; Rosemary Mahoney, Jer ry Beha, third; Mary Ellen Be ha, Michael Mahoney, first; Ve ronica Pribil, Jimmy Beha, Pat rick Mahoney, kindergarten. To successfully handle these eight different grades simultane ously requires excellent organ ization and planning, both of which are evident in Mrs. Ram cld’s teaching. And to hear fifth and sixth graders display thor ough knowledge of “predicate nominatives” and “verbs of be ing” would indicate the basic knowledge being acquired by the pupils. Further evidence of high scholastic standing might be that in the group spelling con test held in conjunction with nine surrounding schools, dis- j tt ict 5 could boast of two first place winners: Pauline and j Rosemary Mohoney; and four seconds: Mathew Be ha, Gene Schneider, Agnes Mahoney and Carolyn Fuhrer. Miss Pauline Mahoney then went on to win; second place in her grade at the ; ccunty contest. On all sides are evidences of the creative original work done by these courteous and friendly j pupils. In the basement room is i a large “puppet theater.’’ A col orful Easter egg tree decorates i the Library alcove. Two large' bulletin boards are covered by original pupil-made murals. A j tall cardboard house, accompan ied by paper sack masks, helps j the younger pupils recreate j ‘The Three Little Pigs” in a vivid dramatization. Both teacher and pupils have use of various educational de vices in order to take part in as broad a curriculum as possible, j District 5 provides a piano, a j complete new set of maps, a large globe purchased just this i year, the most recent edition of ; Compton’s Pictured encyclope dia, recently published text books, Library books, radio and j phonograph. This highly rated school (905 points out of a possible 1,000) reflects teh genuine interest and e\er-present cooperation of par ents and school board members, E. M. Leach, Matt Beha and Leo Schneider. Their regard for Mrs. , Ramold as a teacher for their j children may be shown by the i fact that she has sp>ent four of her eight years’ teaching ex- ; perience in this district. Like the old question, “Which came first, the egg or the chick en?” the new question of “Which came first, the class A school or interested patrons?’ would be just as difficult to an swer. It would seem that nei ther always comes first; one naturally leads to the other; and when both combine the results are truly noteworthy. More and more of our county’s rurai schools do possess this combina tion and either have produced or are producing the same fine results. After reading the disturbing articles concerning our nation’s schools which have appeared in so many periodicals recently, it is quite gratifying to know that here, in our county, are some schools still blessedly old-fash ioned enough to believe that the primary purpose of the school is to teach basic knowledge; that here are classrooms where in dustry and orderly conduct still are combined; and that here are " BENEFIT DANCE BUTTE LEGION BALLROOM Saturday, May 1 5 Butte Medical Center MUSIC BY BOBBY’S BLUENOTERS teachers unafraid to demand re spect and courteous conduct from their pupils. Few Objections to Niobrara Job The army engineers said that “very few” objections have been received to its decision that pro posed flood control work on the Niobrara river would not be justified. A spokesman said that Mon day was the last day for filing objections. The engineers have reversed a field report which recommend ed a one million dollar project of which $892,000 would be fi nanced by the federal govern ment and the remainder by local interests. Lyle P. Dierks and James W Rooney, who recently testified before a congressional subcom mittee in Washington, D.C., made a report Monday evening to the Chamber of Commence. They spoke in behalf of the 98- ' million-dollar development plan. Rooney also reported on pro-1 ---+ gross of plans for the Kauzor Packing company'3 0~Sei~ plant. Blueprints are being drawn and construction bids soon wdll be sought. 3 Youths Being Held on Larceny Tnree youths are now be_ng held in Holt county jail to fact, grand larceny charges. iney are: Rcnatd Bazelmaat, 18, who ad mitted guilt in justice court 10 j lays ago and was placed under ‘ $2,000 bond Gay ten Hull. 18, who was brought to CFN'etli Saturday by J County Sheriff Leo Tom jack.
