From now on we shall examine school reports very eloseiy with a view to enforcing the compulsory school law. The law re quires regular attendance for the en' tire term of school unless .pupils are excused by the board. Last week the superintendent was called to investigate a teacher who was accused of neglect of the business of the school. Upon investigation it was found that about the worst thing that the teacher had done was to teach reading with dramatization [the most approved way) to some of the primary children. ’ Furthermore none of the complaining parents had visited the school nor even hinted to the teacher that his method of teach ing was objectionable to them. These parents are realy fair minded and we feel sure that in the future they will be frequent visitors at the school and confer with the teacher upon all matters regarding which there might be misunderstandings. At first sight dramatization does not appeal to all parents, but when parents understand that this method is used to teach children the relation between reading and doing their objects are usually removed. This week the superintendent visit ed the Litchfield school and one rural school. We very much enjoyed our visit to the Litchfield school. It is in excellent working order in spite of the crowded condition of all of the rooms. Any town is to be congrat ulated that has such capable teachers in the grade work, for it is the work that must form a foundation for the higher work and it is the work that is most useful to all. Litchfield is certainly a good schoo town. Prof. Stryker seems to be working up an excellent school spirit among the patrons of the school. The patrons have presented a petition to the school board asking for a special school meeting to con sider the proposition of voting bonds for a new school building. Seventy-eight sets of eighth grade papers have bsen received as a result of the March examination. Pupils required to write on eleven subjects, thus making a total of eight-hundred and thirty six papers, ranging from one to five sheets. This means much work for the superintendent. i ne xeacners generally agree that t>he examination was very easy, in fact too easy. They quite generally say that certainly no pupil should go on to the ninth grade, who failed to pass the examination. So many certificates have been issued in the past two weeks that we will mention the namqp of pupils re ceiving Diplomas of Honor only. Remember the special teachers ex amination April 20th. All subjects will be given on this day. There will be a closing day program given by the pupils and young people of Dry Creek school, District No. 48, on Friday evening April 19th, Lila McNulty teacher. Every body invited.
