One needs only to step into
Pioneer School , TJist. No.5 , to
know that thc teacher , Miss [ Cora
1 : . IIig'g'ins , has given her pupils
the best recipe for order , and
Icatnessj ; ie. , ue orderly and neat.
Everything in that room has its
place , and everything is in its

Calcnder and \Vood Chart were
up. The room was beautifully
decora tcd. Pictures of authors ,
artists , statcmcn , musicans and
scenery were grouped about the
windows. 1 liked the opening
cxercises. The singingwas g-ood.
You ought to have heard thcm
sing "Dairy Maids. " The teach-
cr read a short Bible Story and
offered a beautiful prayer , asking -
God's blessings on her school ,
and prayed that she might exercise -
crcisc good judgmcnt in all hcr
work. Each child bowed his
head unit seemed in full sympathy -
thy with the tcachcr. As work
began , the teacher took thc pan
of water and passed around ) thc
room for pupils to wet their slat
rag-so Beautifully cup paper is
pasted on window lights of thc
lower sashes and at a distance
looks like lace curtains. They
have ISO books in thc library a
. . .
new book case and a good case of
lI1aps. 'l'he enrollmcnt is I' ' ) . All
were prcscnt. ' . ' his is , in many
respects : the best school I h.L\'c
visited this year. ,

thc numbers were repeated for
closing - exercises , they were good
and the boys took part in thc
singingL'he room is nicely decorated -
orated with fine art pictures.
Sonic good maps of thc Ncw England -
land States were drawn Wedncs-
day afternoon About three
o'clock the windows were raised
and the pupils stood in position
and took a series of physical exercises -
crcises , skillfully directed by thc
tcachcr. The school has a new
and complete set of thc Recom-
mcnded 'l'ext-uooks and a library
of 60 volumes.
Thursday morning I visited
Dist. No. 10' ' ; , . Miss Carrie Dietrich -
trich is teaching her first school
and is doing splendid work.
Here also , thc uoas well as thc
girls took ill the - -
part sing-ing-
After thc singing each pupil g-a\'c
quotations from our popular auth-
ors. This is splcndid ( work. I
wish each teacher would take a
little time each day for teaching
quotations. After this e.xcrcisc
each pupil gave a help thought.
One little girl arose and said , "I
hope every' little girl in this
county is able to go to school to -
.
_ _ _ _ h _
day. " Another pupil said "I
hope all thc boys in this county
arc well amid happy today. ( " At
the beginning of thc school they
called ) ) these "IO\'e thoughts , " but
later dccidcd to call them "help
thoughts. " The cnrollmcnt is
only seven , but thc teacher works
and takcs. as much pains with
these as she possibly could with
40. L'hc walls are beautifully
dccori ed. On time front wall
arc large pictures taken from the
"SchoolVorld. . " Sonic black-
boards on thc sides were old , and
thc teacher covered the space
with black cloth on which she
pirated pictures of native fruit. '
' . 'hey have free books and a
library of 28 volumcs ,
'l'hc school house in Dist. No.
84 is down in a hollow , close to "
the railroad track. The grounds !
are small ) ) and this is perhaps the
poorest school house in the coun-
ty. But the tachcr , IissBlanchc
Lytic , was bcautifull dcmon- I
strafing that it is not the school
house that makes the school. A
.
good teacher with earnest pupils
and a few educational tools with .
which to work , makes thc good ;
school. The room was nicely
f
decorated , thc interest vas good "

tcacher's work . Two of the
pupils took mc home for din tier
and showed mc how to raise cel-
cry. Their fattier , Mr.Vilds ,
has two long rows of celery , still
fresh and growing niccly. It
was much more tCI1lcr than that
we get from the markct. , Celery
is easily grown and I wonder
that more people do not raise it.
Write to Miss ? Blanche Lytic ,
Shubert , and her pupils will write
you a composition , telling all
about how to raise celery.
I reached Dist. No.88 just as
they were dismissing for thc last
rcccss , and taught thc boys how
to play rotation. \Ve had a good
gamc. : 'he pupils are all little
ladies and gcntlcmcn. 'fwenty
one were prcscnt. 'l'hcy are
jolly boys and girls and eager to
learn. 'T ' he teacher , Miss Fran-
ccs Kelly , was nicely drcssed and
wore the white apron mentioned
in Common Sense Didactics . Chapter -
ter : . Here ag-ain. thc personal
appearance of the teacher exerted
a potent influcnce over the school.
The school is well supplied with
the Recommended 'rext. books
and has a nice little library start-
ed.
I was 13 miles from home at 5
o'clock , it looked liked storm , I
had a bad cold and no o\'crshoes.
\Yc started for homc. Joe , my
saddlc-horsc , made a mile about
every 10 minutes. \Ye soon pass-

swung into the electric light and
I whistled our coming to Ethel
and the ua by.
But wc must ' not mention only
the g-oocl-there are always many
thorns among thc roscs. All ad-
verse criticisms are given direct i
to the teacher , but the following
items have been suggested to mc
while visiting teachers and observing -
\.ing- their work this fall. Call
you lied thc item that applies to
yowl One teacher complained
that site did not have a globe ,
and admitted that luring thc
three months of school she had
not used the nice case of maps
hanging on the front waH. An-
other teacher didn't know that
his school had a globe until I
found it for him.
One teacher that visited the
latter ' part of a week said that hc
had not swept thc floor that week
and they were just seeing how
long they could go without sweep
lug it.
'f'he following is true of too
many reading , classcs. Time class
is callcd-J amcs read the first
\'erSCj ; Susie read the second and
so on-take the next lesson-no
comment on ycstcrday's lesson ,
today's lesson or tomorrows lcs-
son.
