Arc you sure that your high school pupils , ahd ( in fact , all the pupils in thc school in which you teach , know what your school colors arc ? Every school should have standard colors ; , and every pupil in he school should know thc colon and he proud to wear thcm. Keep your school patriotism - triotism alive ! Last week Miss Jamie Brown resigned her position as teacher in 1)ist. , . No. 104 , and , . , now . . she is . . 1\lrs. Clydc Bicrly. The teachers of Richardson County extend COIl- gratulations. The County Supcr- int u lent does ( not tell secrets , but thc birds arc saying , that two more of our lady teachers arc to be married during thc IIo1idays.

Our school will give a box supper Dcc. 3rd. . The Richardson County 'l'cach- , ers' Association has a "CON- scI1NCI ; : FUND. " Saturday evening - ing the County Superintendent received the followinff- letter : . , . " - ' . . "Hcrc is a nickel which I owe you. Last night a crowd of us went to thc lecture and you were told that I went to school so I was let in on 1Oc. 1 So to make , everything right I will send you the 5c. " No name signcdVc cannot avoid mentioning in this connection , that several people have borrowed books from thc County Superintendent ill thc past. It is a sad fact that about 1-4 of our schools do not have large watt map of thc United Statcs. It is a shame , too , that this is truc. A large wall map IS a silent , but constant and powerful teacher. While looking at this map , thc child learns Ul100l1Sciously , and thc forms and relative size of thc states are foxed indelibly in his mind. A teacher can make splcndid rise of a wall map every day. Theo why arc so many schools without a wall map of thc United States ? It is easily \ answered ; and it is no more thc t fault of thc school board than it i is thc fault of thc tcacher. If f thc teachers make their wants known in the right way , the boards will usually get the sup- plies nccded. The County Super intendent has in his ofiLe 25 splendid wall maps of the United Statcs. These arc for thc schools hat need them. Teachers and school boards arc asked to call or send for them.tl'hcy are free but it costs 15c to mail out. Dist. No. 7.7-D. D. Houtz , tcachcr-\Vc will have vacation during next wcek. Pupils arc shoving a desire to learn and arc doing good work. Attendance is good reaching 1)8 per cent thc last month. Last week one of the merchants of Vcrdon offered a prize of $10 to thc person unloading thc larg- est load of people . in front of his store.Vc concluded that this was a good opportunity to add to our library fund. So wc induced some of thc patrons of'thc school to bring a four horse team har- ncssed to a hay wagon and load- ing' on the school and other members - bel's of the district until thc nUm- bcr reached 77 persons , wc took them to Verdon and unloaded at thc store , easily winning" thc prhc. In a , school we visited a few weeks ago thc teacher had 110 place 011 his program for writing. ' 1Vliy is this" wc asked and tine teacher replied "Oh , we do not have tine for writing. " The teacher was told to take time for writing. Reading , writing and arithmetic arc our three H.'s thc tripod of cducational. Do not leave out either one of them. It ' - of _ - , . . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - is the duty of each teacher to have at least three definite periods - ods each week for writing with pen and ink , and every pupil in thc school should be required to take part. Ycs with pen and ink -lcad pencil work is not suffi- cicnt. It is thc duty of thc school board to furnish all necessary - cssary writing material 4 for thc entire school , and it is thc duty of hc t teacher to ask thc school board to get this materia1. .
