SCHOOL DIRECTORS MEET THIS PROVED TO BE A LIVELY MEETING A Number Of Important Matters Weree Discussed By Men Interested Then- "as a \erjr interesting meet iug held Saturday in the county court room, participate d in by most of the school directors from over the county. Fully a hundred were present, many whose names are giv en below. The object of the met ting was to discuss several hills now before' the legislature regarding educational mai lers. This county voted unanimously to oppose the hills for a central Rur al high school, to teach domrstU science and agriculture in rural dis tricts and to increase the number of county superintendents. The first is considered impractical for tlio reason that, no matter where the Central Rural High School was located, the pupils from some parts of the county would have to board while attending school. If their parents cannot afford to hoard them now in the towns so they may at tend school they feel they cannot af ford it for tie- rural, school and that the additional taxes to maintain it would become aV burden and no real good would be derived. In the matter of teaching domestic science and agriculture, it was voted down because there is not a district in the county that, can afford the additional expense. But very few school buildings have room to spare for arranging a small room for dom estic science instructions and $500 at the very least estimate would he re quired to make the start. Again land would have to he purchased to make the teaching of agriculture a practical study. Even a second coun ty superintendent, who would be paid $1,000 per year, could not visit the schools over the county more than twice during their school year and could not do justice to the work that was costing the disrict such an amount of money. The sentiment was generally against the Bills and resolutions were unanimously adopted to instruct our senator and representatives lo use their influence against, and vote against any such measure. Also, believing the county get bet ter results from examinations for teachers hold in the county, it was voted to request our representativees to frame a bill taking the examina tions out of the hands of the state examiner and returning them to the county superintendents. This was a very enthusiastic meet ing and shows that the people gener ally arc taking the keenest interest in educational matters and this is as it should be for the good of our s< bools.
