Hyan. The teachers of Richardson : -
son county extend congratula-

, Several
thc quarterly examination -
eral pupils have been compelled
to stop school on account of thc
spring work.
Palmer Fisher resigned in Dist.
43 and will go with his par-
cnts to their new home near
Washington , Kansas. 1\11' Fish-
cr was one of our most successful
teachers. Ida Kearncl1 has been
engag-el to finish his term.
1\11' H. J. Dunn teacher of thc
Harada school met with a pain-
ful accident week before last.
In running catch a frightened
team hc sprained his ankle and
was unable to teach for a wcek.
Hc is no.\ able to "keep his feet
on thc school room 11001' and the
work is moving niccly.
The Harada teachcl's reading
circle mct in thc Harada school
house Wednesday evening , 1\1arch
15. Though only four teachers
were present thc meeting was
interesting and profitable. The
next meeting will be held in
Harada Wednesday evening ,
March 29. The Harala reading
circle class have done splendid
work thloug-hout thc year.
Dist. No. 1)2. Lilli \Vag-g-ner
tcacher.-\Ve have just completed
I
our sixth month of school. . \Ye
arc sorry that several of our
pupils have 1I10o\'cd from thc dls-
tnct.Vc have purchased an
organ with thc money wc made
at the basket supper held some
time ago. Our enrollment is now
only 17.
At a recent meeting \ the Stella -
la board of . Education , Prof. I.G. ' .
Wilson was re-clccted for a term '
of two years at an increase in
salary. This is just recognition i
of Mr. \Vilson's splendid work in
thc Stella Schools. \Vc believe
in electing principals for two and
, even three years at a time. Then
a teacher can look ahead and plan
his work more definitcly. Again
wc believe school boards ought
to let teachers know early whether -
cr or not they arc to bc retained
for the ensuing year.
School board members should
take sonic educational journal
that will stimulatc better school
houses , teachers salaries and
arouse iln interest in progressive
school administration. \Vithin
thc next few weeks each director
will received a sample copy of thc
"School Board 1 Journa : . " ' . ' his
paper is de\'oled wholly to the
subject of school admini-.lration.
' 1'he various rural school admin-
istration problems are discussed
and elucidated , rural school house
plans presented and school boards
arc kept informed on thc school
board doings throughout the
United Statcs.

The situation on school legislation -
lation at this writing March 18 is
follows-lIouse : Roll No. 170 ,
tie free high school attendance
measure , was indefinitely postpon-
cdin thc House : Monday afternoon.
It is to be regretted that this
measure was never considered on
its merits but that factional
trouble and p tty jealousies were
thc cause of its dcfeat. It is
strange that legislators cannot
rise above school boy 1uibb1ings
and quarrels. Those who fought
hardest against ! the measure have
since its defeat received letters I .
and telegrams from their cons-
titucnts urgingthem to work for
and vote for this measure , but
the day is too far spcnt. thc opportunity - '
portunity is g"one. Our first I
. I
thought was to have the bill revived - '
vh'cd by a proclamation from the
Governor. \Ve doubt the wis-
dom of this course at this time.
Let us turn our bac1s on the past
. . . -
and our faces I to the future , and
hope that two years hence we
may have a legislature that will
give us a free high school attend-
am c measure that is constttu-
tional. \Vc believe we have at
last found thc constitutional way :
From State Supt. McBrien's letter
to school People of Nebraska ,
March 18.Ve are glad thc
legislators from Richardson coun-
ty supported this measure.
