'j To the Teachers.
i I bare sent you a map of Richardson -
ardson counts' 'rite cut is not
quite up-to-da , but please read
"corrections on thc map" ca rHul-
I" Many pupils , and sad ( to say ,
sonic teachers , while they know
. a great deal ih detail about the
' geography of 1 nrope , Asia and
Africa , yet they know but very ,
little about thc county in which
r i t1ie ) ' / live. I fInd pupils ill the
eastern part of the county who do
not know hat Hum bold t and
Dawson are iu this county and I
' find pupils in thc western part
who do not know that Rub , Fargo -
' go and Harada are in this coups -
s ty. In fact our teachers are not
j teaching enough about the geography -
graphy and history of Richardson -
son coun ty. Lct us teach the
pupils \ to see , study , appreciate
and lore thc things of home and
hc home county. ' I wish to
urge each teacher to have a nice
large map of lxichi : rc1son county
drawn , either on the blackboard
or on paper ' and placed on thc
wall , then drill thc pupils on thc
geography history , civil g-o\'ern-
" went and products of Richardson -
son county.

I find many school stoves in
poor conch tion. "Ha'e your district -
trict look after this mattcr.
Neither thc children nor thc
teacher can afford to stay all day
in a cold school room , neither
Ctll1 they afford to stay in an over
heat school room. If your school
has not a thermomcter , secure
one and keep the temperature at
70. if possiblc. The health of
thc childrcn is of more import-
ancc than cither wealth or edu-
cation. " -Supt , A not.

cr. Our school is getting along
nicely. \Ve had two weck's vacation -
cation during holidays. Our
teacher visited her parents in thc
Indian 1'erritory. The pupils of
thc fifth grade wrote the county
superintendent letters telling how
they spent the holidays. 'l'hey
are interesting , would do credit

acher. School is going nicely ,
but as quite a number of pupils r
are sick at present the attendance
is small. \Ye have taken up , Ha T-
ia work since Christmas 't ' he
children are delighted with it. t
\Ve use it in the first and second
grades for busy work , and the . . . .
higher grades work at it at 'tc-
-
cess and noon. I find it excellent
work to keep them employed at'
intermissions when it is too cold .
