A Reaioder of Long Ago
Drawn by a pair o', giant oxen and
riding In a wagon an exact counter
part of tlie "schooners’' th at used to
be so numerous on these plains. Ezra
Meeker, scout, plainsman, trailfinder
and unique character, reached Central
City Mondav evening, enroute west
ward to his home in Puyallup, Wash
ington. lie lias been traveling in this
wagon for the past five or six years
and it has traversed most of the
states of the union and visited many
of tlie more important cities of the
United States. At Columbus last
week he cssiyed the fording of the
Loup river, attempting tlie feat in ord
er to preserve in motion pictures one
of the dangerous incidents in an over
land journey. Tlie Loup was so full
of water, however, and the bed so
spotted with quicksand at that point
that Mr. Meeker did not dare to get
his oxen into it. ILe succeded how
ever. in crossing in his wagon box,
using it as a boat. Representatives
of maving picture firm took views
of him as lie crossed.
One of tlie particularly interesting
features of the outfit, next to Mr.
Meeker himself, is a team of oxen.
They are well bred shorthorus and
the two weighl.l.jo. a ton each. They
are capable of traveling many miles
a day bat their driver prefers to
travel very leisurely and does not
crowd them. The wagon is one of the
old fashioned southern affairs, so
many of which traversed tlie plains
before the 60's. It is not-the same
type as the wagons used in later years
and with which most of the pioneers
were familiar. Fashioned with slop
ing ends, it can be used as a boat, if
necessity demands--and necessity
used to demand it Dretty often in the
days when there were no bridges.
Mr. Meeker is eighty years old, but
travels alone, having for a companion
only a dog. He has a good home in
Puyallup but has been traveling in
Uiis manner for several years in ord
er to preserve some of the old land
marks and to show the present gener
ation wliat the pioneer days were like.
He is particularly concerned with the
location and marking of the Oregon
Trail and has succeeded in arousing
much interest in that project. He
says that it is by no means properly
marked yet and that over 700 granite
markers will be required to locate the
1 trail at points where it is crossed by
the public roads. He was much inter
ested while on his visit here in ’’old
lone tree“ and paid a visit to tlie
monument —Central City Nonpareil

Miss Charlotte Bushong closed one
of the most successful terms of school
in this district; and was thought so

another term. One tiling she had
was prizes and which caused each
scholar to put forth every effort pos
sible to capture one or more. Below

cessful and what they were success
ful in. The prize in sewing was a
silver thimble won by Ella Bausch,
age 11 years; Phillip Neilson got the
prize for the best work in manual
training, a knife: Christina Krichow
won three prizes, which were for the
best biscuits and fake, the prize be
ing a granit mixing bowl and spoon
to match. These prizes were award
by Miss May Screen. A large num
ber of maps, paintings and mounted

COUNTY SCHOOL
NOTES
From the Superintend
ent’s office
To the School Patrons:
Are you planning on the annual
school district election which occurs
on the twenty-fourth of this month?
On that day a meeting of the electo-s
of the districts is called by law. The
purpose of this meeting is that the
electors may instruct the school
officers on “matters pertaining to the
arrangement of the schools for the
coming year.” The length of the
school term, the amount of tax levy,
fixtures, and outbuildings, the removal
of school house, the sale of an old
building and the erection of a new
one. regular election of necessary
officers, are points especially men
tioned.
Do not stay at home and leave the
affairs of the schools entirely in the
hands of the school boards. Since
women have a voice and a vote in all
school matters, there is no reason why
this meeting could not be made a
general rally for the good of the
school.
It has been said that “The common
schools may become the most effect
ive and benignant of all forces of
civilizaiton.” When it has reached
that high stage, will not its surround
ing be helpful and wholesome? Will
they not be shining clean, in perfect
repair, and beautiful in simple ways?
This is not so high an ideal but that
it could be reached this year.
If parents can go to the school
meeting twenty minutes early, they
can be prepared to talk on any of the
following points. Of course not all
of them need consideration in any one
school. Has the school house a
whole and tight storm door? Is the
floor tightagainst cold and sufficiently
smooth to permit the dust to be
swept out? Is there close foundation
or is the house set up on loose rocks?
Is there a good stove? Are the win
dows tight in the casings and are they
whole? Are the windows and wood
work clean? )Isithere a mud scraper
at the door? -Is there any door step
or any step at the entrance? Do the
grounds need grading or filling in,
especially near the doors? Are there
good blackboards, and are they placed
low so that a 6-year-old child can
stand on the floor and work at them?
Are there maps and globe so that a
beginner can get a fair start in geog
raphy? Are there seats of assorted
sizes and at short distances apart so
that a child can sit with his feet on
the floor, spine erect and work easily
at the desk? Are there whole cur
tains or must he work with light
shining into his eyes? Are the cur
tains hung from the bottom so they
roll upward, shutting off the lower
light and diffusing the light from
above? This is a simple remedy for
the serious cross-lighting in all ocr
old school houses. Are there a bright
water pail and dipper? Are there
looking glass and wash basin in the
building? Watch the boys and girls tile
past the glass to straighten out the
towzles and you will observe with
pleasure an added self respect and
dignity. Is there need of new out
buildings? The law requires that
the outbuildings be located on those
poitions of the site the farthest from
the main entrance to the school house,
and as far from each other as the
surrounding condition will permit
and that they be kept in wholesome
condition and good repair. Are there
trees or neat coal house or hitching
rod on the premises?
When these conditions are all favor
able there is provided for the school
a place that looks cared-for and in
viting and a place that avoids the
most common dangers to the health
3f the children. Qan your school
term be at least one month longer
next year, if it is not already nine
months? Was there a good teacher
in charge of the school last year and
lan her services be secured again?
Better keep your child at home than
rave him under a poor teacher. Must
"here be a teacher of finer personality
>r higher grade of preparation? Shall
ler work be encouraged by increased
rages or by any attention to her lo
iation and comfort? Are there
ehools of only two or three pupils in
»he township? Could they be closed
ipd a union school be started in the
nterest of better grading and lower
expenses?
To sum up—should the school board
eceive instruction to plan a higher
ax levy for their important work?
Should time and money be spent in a
areful preparation of the school
"remises? A discussion of these
mints would be valuable whether an
igreement is reached in every case
»r not. We can afford to economise
>y spending money on the schools, if
ve can be sure that they awaken
bought, increase pleasure, produce
iroperty or raise moral standards.
A special teachers' examination will
w given on Friday and Saturday,
lune 21 and 22, 1912, in all county
ertificate subjects.
