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.

have quarterly report cards ,
please send for thcm.

"TC have satisfactorily finished
the first quarter and are trying to
make this an improvement over
the lastYe find the Hubbell
Mathematical charts a very con-
venicnt and successful method of
teaching numbcrs. \Ve have 23
regular atrcndants on our roll
just now ani. of these 4 were
neither absent nor tardy last
month , hour ! more were perfect
in attendance and two had no
tardy marks against thcm. \Vc
1 have a system of stars for mark-
jug attendance , which arouses a
r
healthful rivalry for perfect rec-
ords. 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.
