Sherman County
School Notes.
By Supt. L H.Currier
The joint meeting of the teachers of
Sherman and Buffalo counties was a
very profitable and pleasant affair.
The morning was very threatening
and stormy but in spite of tbis fact
the meeting was well attended. Near
ly all of the teachers from the south
of our county were present. All of
the Rockville teachers, some from
Litchfield, some from Hazard and
three from Loup City were also in at
tendance. The names of all teachers
in attendance from this county will
be given in the school items next
week.
The fact that there were more
teachers in attendance from Sherman
county than than there were from
Buffalo county speaks well for the
teachers of our county. The meeting
was a success and furnishad an op
portunity for good fellowship on edu
cational matters. A great many help
ful points in teaching were set forth.
At the close of the program there *
was a basket ball game between the '
teachers of Sherman county and Buf- '
falocounty. Buffalo won the game 1
by a score of 12 to 0. Prof. O. W. ■
Neal of Kearney State Normal deliv- ,
ered an address in the afternoon

His subject,'‘The Teacher and the
Child," was so handled that it must
have created in the minds of every
teacher and parent present the fact
that the child's surrounding and home
life has a great deal to do w ith the
success of his school work. The fol
fowing are some of the thoughts pre
sented; What is a child£ Knowledge
of the home influencd^reviously ex
erted necessary if the highest train
ing is given in the school, %-actical
knowledge of this home life. If the
teacher is aware of these parental
failings, she can deal with the new
generation, gravely yet gently. Ex
amples of home influence upon the
child. All parents want the best for
their children—sometimes we do not
know what the best is. But the desire
is there. The lecture deals with the
types of children found in a school
room. Seeks the causes of their short
comings and gives remedies.
The lecture brings out the idea of
more co-operation between the parent
and teacher—a better understanding
of the aims and methods employed.
The idea of both law and government
in both home and school. The train
ing of the will. The lecture points
out why children, lie. cheat etc_

ents.
