County School Notes
A Beautiful wish—“Give me a few
friends who will love me for what I
am and keep ever burning before my
vagrant footsteps the kindly light of
hope. And though age and infirmity
over-take me and I come not in sight
of the castle of my dreams, teach me
still to be thankful for life and for
memories that are good and sweet,
and may tl e evening’s twilight find
me gentle still.”
This is the month for the study of
Christmas. Every teacher should
have on hand many Christmas pic
tures, poems, songs andstorries. Every
pupil should learn at least one Christ
mas poem. Madonna pictures and
their painters should not be neg
lected. Teach, above all, Christmas
ethics.
The dailly attendance throughout
the county is steadily increasing. The
teachers and the parents seem to be
putting forth special efforts to keep
the children in school every day possi
ble. There is no better sign of the
parents interest in the school than the
steady attendance of their children.
Among the better reports for the
first month are the following;
Oretta Lomax, district 34: 8 pupils
attending, all perfect in attendance.
Ettie Brower, district 74: 9 enrolled,
all have a perfect record.
Mattie Johnson, district 51: tf en
rolled, five have a perfect record.
Lottie Kisling, primary Litchfield t
14 enrolled, 13 perfect in attendance.
Minnie Croston, intermediate, Litch
field; 31 attending, 25 have a perfect
record.
Emma Nystrom, district 17, 10 en
rolled, 9 perfect in attendance.
Emma Bowe, district 14; 15 pupils
attending, 14 have a perfect record.
Eleanor Holmes, district 75: 8 en
rolled, 7 perfect in attendance.
Esther Kettle, district 2; 6 enr oiled,
5 have perfect record.
A few of the teachers are not mak
ing monthly reports to the superin
tendant. Every teacher in the county
should make these reports. If there
are any teachers in the county who
have not received the course of study,
repqrt cards to parents, attendance
certificates, and teachers’ report
blanks, please write the superinter.d
ftnb at once.
