Consolidation and centralization of rural
schools Is strongly adoenlrd by Superin
tendent Kowlcr. In a circular letter which
hn will soon distribute among school
directors, Mr. Kowlcr discusses the many
fid vantage of tho proposed system, which
he declares Is niado ro slhlc by a "aw pafs-u
by Iho last legislature. The letter. In part,
follows.
TIiIh department urges upon you the Im
portance of studying nnil observing the
lehool law In (be tninsartlnn of your olllclal
hu!.lncs. Were the district meeting, tho
district board. Hie director, the moderator,
and tho treasurer to comply with nil the
requirements of Iho biiNliiens calendar,
many potty tiuarrelH and much of tbe
rorlou trouble MiHt usually follows tho
annual meeting, often working a detriment
to tho schools throughout tho year, might
be avoided.
The new school laws Impose now duties.
Tho rmnunl meeting must vote on Iho queti.
tlon of tho establishment of an adjunct dis
trict In the county for free high school priv
ileges, in nil districts not approved by this
department us free public high school dls
trletn. There Is a now law on teacher's con
tract; n new compulsory attendance law,
requiring a new data In tho census report;
a new law which removes the six-mile
limit In hu formation of school districts; a
new Inw which makes It the duty of school
nfllcern lo attend business meetings called
by tho county superintendent ; and a new
taw compelling teachers to attend Insti
tutes. These new laws Increase the duties,
the responsibilities, anil the opportunities
of school olllcers,
Tcxtlionkn nml Supplies.
L'nder our present free textbook law,
this subject Ih oi,o of great Importance. I5x
perlciico proves that, where, proper care Is
orclsod by the school board and the
teacher, this law Is popular and satisfac
tory; but It becomes n detriment and n
nuisance whenever pupils carelessly soil,
nark, deface, or destroy the books, See that
teachers appeal to the pride of their pu
pils; that they Insist on habits of neatness
tod cleanliness; that they make a regular
Inspection of books, nt least once a month
no other agency Is moro effective than a
regular book Inspection. We urge upon
ichool olllccra the Importance of furnishing
tllfiC.;. vI""Lh,. Willi. UP: to-'lute textbooks.
You should no more expect pupils and
teachers to work with textbooks that are
behind the times than you should think of
throwing aside the celf-bluder or check
rower to tetiirn to tho Implements used by
your fathers. .Modern textbooks aro as
necessary us modern farming Implements.
Beo that your school Is properly furnished
with natural slato blackboards, charts,
maps, globes, dictionaries, nnd two or throo
magazines and pel ludlciils. The slato black
board Is the. best nml cheapest In tho end.
Hut wo warn you not to purchase nuy sup
plies, charts, or apparatus from ngents
fvlthout a meeting of your board; and then
not at $17.50 n chart, nor half that amount.

watch her as alic passes, ahc trips along
the street a picture of health and beauty.
Among the passing crowd of worn anil

ever be like them?
Could they once

the majority of
women suffer in a

the Sunday schools of the church have In
creased their Luther day offerings for home
missions to the txtent of $3.00u over the

We hereby express our conviction that this
plan, aiming as It doea nt tho training of

the encouragement nnd nld of our pastors
nnd superintendents of Sunday schools In
making Its obscrvanco more genernt and
effective.

during a lnrge part of the hlcnhUm, to ox
tlugulsh the Indebtedness renting on It at
the eloso of tho previous one, deserve tho
commendation of tills body, ond that we
rejoice nt tho fair measure of success that
has attended them. We endorse tho proposi
tion of the board that tho effort to com
