Vision of School Children.
An examination of forty children
from two public schools In New York
city shows some striking results. Tin
forty puptls examined were the worst
that could be found in the two schools,
eighteen of them being so stupid that
they were In ungraded classes, eleven
were so stupid that they required
three terms to do the work of one
term, and eleven were delinquent. All
qf the forty 'children had defective
vision. They were fltted with proper
glasr'--* and after six months It was
found ihat thirty-two of them had
made astonishing progress. These
thirty-two wore under as many differ
ant teachers.’ A r?port of this work
has been made to the board of educa
tion, recommending that the entlre
cure of the school children, mental,
moral and physical, be vested In on<
department with a single head and
that that should be the board of edu
cation; ^tfrat a sufficient number oi
loctors be trained to deal with all do
fects of school children who arc at
present in the cr'c-;ory of ifngrnded,
backward or disciplinary cases; *thnt
any child whose work Is unsatisfactory
for one term should be examined and
all defects of structure and habit cor
rected as fur as possible.—Journal of
the American Medical Association.

school directors arc all received
and on file in the office of the
county superintendent.. Accord
ing to these reports nearly every
dis.rict in the county has voted
nine months of school for the
coming year. There will lie no
six months term, only a few seven
and the rest eight or nine. Nearly
every teacher in the county has
already contracted for a school
for the coining year at a salary no
less than $45. The school boards
have responded to the appeal for
higher wages and longer terms.
It now rests with the teachers to
do their part by attending insti
tute, doing faithful work and get
ting the help and inspiration that
wil| make them more worthy of
higher wages, and will lead to ad
vancement in all lines.
Special features in the line of
lectures or other forms of evening
entertainment will make this ses
sion a particularly interesting one.
Every person who expects to
teach in the county should attend
institute. The law is very plain
on the revocation of any grade of
certificate for non-attendance at
institute.
I lii! faculty is u particularly
capable one. Each member hits
been very successful both in reg
ular and institute work, each one
has been assigned the work that
he has a preference for, and has
mode special preparation for. Wh
ore confident that the entire fac
ulty will be one that will please
and benefit every teacher in the
county.
Prof. Bradford, principal of the
State School of Agriculture, is
well known to most of the teach
ers of the county. lie is unques
tionably one of the la^t educators
in the state; a man who constantly
strives to “build character.”
Prof. I idler of the Peru State
Normal, is also well known to most
of the teachers of the county. He '
is among the best and made for |
himself an enviable reputation in
the state. He will give us strong (
work.
Miss Danielson of Fremont,
taught in institute in this county
two years ago and all who know
of her work at that time will lie
ptfcasod to loum that she will tie

Every teacher should come in
tending to get. the best, la>th in
the line of instruction and social
intercourse. The institute should
furnish an excellent opportunity

ening of social and fraternal rcla
tions, n,very essential part of the
profession. We earnestly request

No matter what .vour qualifica
tions or reputation as a teacher
may be, it is, nevertheless, a duty
which you owe to the profession
to attend the county institute and
take an active part in it.
If the work and results of the
Institute are not what you think
they ought to be, do your best to
mine the standard. Much depends
on good leaders, but the results we
are after can he obtained only by
strong individual -work.
The aim of the institute is nol
merely to “brush up on rust.v
points," l»ul to promote progress
ivories*, to introduce new method*
and recent developments and
changes in school work, to lead
onward and upwytrd, to inspire
