It is now well known througl out the county that accordin to section 3 , subdivision 5 , of th school laws of Nebrska , th district school boards assemble under the call of the count superintendent , August 7 , an effected a school otticers orgai ization with Joe Ranger , c Salem , president , and E. Ii Raj' , of Stella , secretary , ain adopted rules and regulation for the guidance of teacher. pupils , patrons and school ofl cers of the schools of our countj This meeting was a very vahu ble one. The attendance wa very satisfactory , indeed , an yet more could have been a < complished , had every distru been represented , but the ide ; meeting will never occur. Sti we take courage and move 01 The rules and regulations wei published in this departmei last week. The aim of this article is 1 call attention of school ofiice : not present , and teachers to tl " and " "Rules Regulations" i which a copy will be placed ; the hands of every school dire tor to be amended by local rules , if necessary , and handed to the teacher for the better and more uniform government ol our schools. School otlicers have the key , so to speak , in their own hands to make our schools better as to government. They have the authority , absolutely , to say what shall be done and what shall not be done , and it is one of the duties specified by the school laws of our state that the county school board meeting shall adopt rules amd regula tions for the government of the schools. Like any important measure , these rules should be carefully studied by otlicers and teachers. We do not claim that they are absolutely perfect , still we assure you they were not formulated in a hurry. They will suggest in advance the prin cipal requirements that should e maintained for every school , The idea that a teacher should > e compelled to take up the re sponsibility of school govern nent without stipulated author , ty and await the approval 01 linapproval of any or all acts ol discipline , is the greatest bar rier to successtul school man agement. The approved stand ard should be known in advance Then the teacher can work au thoritatively and advisedly or the fundamental requirement ! that should be in every school The teacher can go into hei school room each day , knowing that she has the authority o the school board in tangibh shape , and that they are bourn to her by having their stipu lated approval in advance. 1 is a well known fact that th < great majority of failures ii school government is caused bj the lack of stipulated authority from the proper source bcinj. stamped in the schoolroom. All but forty-one of the teach ers of Richardson county hav < been in the work less than thrci years. Last year we had thirty four beginners , this year wi shall have forty-two. In man ] cases they are too young to bi of the best type of teachers , bu w e must have them. Eacl teacher must teach Ii i s firs school. These beginners an conscientious young people eager and anxious to do the ! best and they need the besto help and backing. They neet to know assuredly , that the ; will have the support of thi school boards. If they be pu off in a general way with tin familar , "We'll stand by you , ' they are left alone in their im mature judgment as to good am bad points of government. The ; have no specific standard o authority given them , and ar really at sea without compas or rudder. No wonder man young people make partial u total failures , we arc plendini in their behalf , and yet we fet that all teachers stand in ncc of specific authority. Of course , many teachers hav succeeded without any specif ] cations , and yet they hav followed very closely every nil adopted by the county. If the had had them at times , the would ha"e felt more secure i "getting the school again lie * year. " Such teachers' sueoes has depended almost wholl upon superior judgment and strong personality. These ar not common gifts to all teacl ers. Hence , in the absence c these personal qualities , sue teachers must have the matur judgment and strong persona I ity of others in the form of rule and regulations to assist then t Complaints come from patron 1 and otlicers about failures i 1 school government and aftt investigation the beginning ( the trouble is found to be a lac of common knowledge of win good school government is , an in the second place the lac of a standard to teach it I teachers and the people gene ally. Such things have to I brought about by common expe . ience , and then formulated in ules. State and national laws ome about in this way and a chool is but the minimized tale ; hence , we need a few well ellned rules and regulations dopted by the school ofliccrs * association and placed in every chool room in readable and 'Understandable" shape. Market Letter. Cansas Oity , Mo. , Aug. 14 , ' 05 , Cattle receipts were the heav es t of the season last week , at 0,500 , including 10,000 calves. Prices weakened from day to lay , although all the packers bought liberally ; local concerns got 40,000 cattle , also a redord or them this season. Country lemand for stockers and feeders vas good the first of the week , but the market for them flat- cned out after Tuesday , and closed the week 25 to 40 cents ower. Although the corn crop s made in this territory , it is yet a little too early for feeders , o have completed all the ar- anircments for feeding. On the ither hand , the stuff from the ange country is coming two weeks earlier than last year , which leaves the stocker and "eeder market suffering both from lack of demand and from over-supply just now. For this reason a good many believe that the present time is the low time of the season for stockers and feeders. Supply of cattle today is 19,000 head , market steady to a little lower on all kinds ; desira ble stuff selling iirst at about steady prices. Top on beef steers in a week is $5.50 ; good dry lot steers $4.90 to 5.40 ; best wintered westerns $4.85 to$4.05 ; medium ones , 18.75 to $4,25. Best heifers are scarce , at $4.60 to$4.80tair ; to good she stuff $2.25 to $8.25 , against $2.85 to $8.05 a week ago ; canners about like a week ago , * 1.75 to $2.20 ; veals 50 cents lower , $4.50 to $5.25. Very few feeders sell above $4.00 , most sale of stockers - ers at $2.50 to $8.75 ; feeders $8.25 to $4.00 ; stock cows and heifers $2.00 to $2.75 ; calves $2.75 to $4.00 Hog prices made a net gain of 15 cents last week , on account of the extremely small run of 20,000 here , and light receipts at all the markets. Weights around 200 pounds sell best , and heavy lard hogs are the hard est to move , at 10 or 15 cents below the top. More heavy hogs are coming each week. Market is 5 to 74 higher today , top $0.22J , highest this year , bulk of sales 10.10 to $0.20. Sheep and lamb prices went up another notch last week and are higher again today. Most of the stuff is Westerns , sales of which were made today at the following prices : Lamb. , $0.75 ; yearlings , $5.50 ; wethers and yearlings ewes at $5.00 ; and ewes at $4.50 , all of these prices the highest since the recent brealc. Stock and feeding wethers cell at * 4.25 to $4.35 ; ewes around $3.75. A Warning to Mothers. Too much earn eiinnot be uced with siiiull children during the hut weiilhev of the Mimmer months to guard against bowi'l trouble : " . As a rule it is only neL'i'jbiiry to irive the child a doie of cut-tor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Do not use any substitute , but ) > lve the old-fashioned castor oil , and &oo that It Is fresh , as rancid oil nauseate * and ha * it tendency to gripe. If this does not check the Bowels give Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy and then a dose of cantor oil , and the disease may be etii-cUfd in Its Ineipleni'v and all dan ger avoided. The castor oil and tals remedy sl'ould bo procured atonco and kept ready for Instant use as soon as the tirst Indication of any Ijowel trouble appears. This is the most successful treatment known and may be relied upon with implicit confidence even in cases of cholera infantum. For sale at Kerr's drug store. Orra R.
