I have said that apparatus is nee- essary to the best school work, | am aware thatthe old time school, with but little, if any apparatus, other than books, turned out many wood echelars, This, however was inapite of the conditivas, and not be cause of the lack of apparatus, The instruction given those students would have been greatly strength ened and enriched by the help of the students would have gone out from en Saeaae “TNE SY} pioayy FY ** AM of2 pue TIDIMT sSIry . a Wate: coe MO p Dope 207 YO we ‘J ore | Mire a: | aoe | Vv ‘ PSA F WwAEt Vat Away [em sy Ke Mew Ww TPM) ROA JAE 35) ROL Fe proper apparatus; and those same BATES COUNTY BOY HONORED school with a fuller and @ more unt- form and complete knowledge of the aubjects, if they had had the advan tage of.the necessary apparatus. And what was amply sufficient for the atudent and the schoolhouse of “ye olden time” is not sufficient for the student and the school house of this age of progress and universal education. My visiting the schools of thecoun- ty has disclosed the fact that not many aresupplied with the necessary apparatus. Just afew have appa- ratus in good condition. In many schoolhouees I find & battered globe in one corner of the room, @ dilap!- dated map hanging awry on the wall, or a chart that has seen better days. In other: I find that no apparatus has ever been supplied. These are conditions that ought not to exist. The law makes it the duty of the school board to supply the necessary apparatus. When it {s supplied, it should be properly cared for and not given the abuse even, of disuse. In my reports to school boards I am recommencing that the necessary apparatus be supplied as soon as possible, What apparatus {ts necea- sary? Asicefrom a good library, it seems to me that every schoolhouse should have plenty of good black board, a reading chart, a setof maps andaglobe. Perhaps other things are useful and should be furnished; but these, | think, are neceseary. Good blackboard can be used in teaching every subject and in almost every recitation. Plenty of good board should, therefore, be supplied. Slate board ie decidely the best and also the cheapest in the end. A read- ing chart is necessary for teaching primary reading. A large amount of material is necessary for practice in reading in the first grade. No first reader contains sufficient material The reading chart meets the demand for extra reading leesons. Every one will acknowledge the need of a good set of maps to supplement the work in geography and history. Ifa full set of maps cannot be supplied cer- talnly every schoolroom !n the coun- ty should be furnished with a good map of Missouri and @ map of the United States. A globeis necessary with which to teach the size, shape, rotation, etc., of the earth. For this purpose an 8-inch globe fs better than a larger one, because it shows the relation of the diameter and cir- cumference of the earth better than any other size, It is gratifying to know thatechool boards are very generally recognis- {ng the need of these helps in the echoolroom, and aresupplying them as fast as the funde will permit. The people at the next annual echoui meeting should make a very liberal appropriation to the incidental fund, 80 that the echoolhouses can be fur- nished with the ueteesary apparatus. The children of Bates county are en- titled to the very best echool ad- vantages that can be had. A. L.

The board also invited anybody who knew any facts tending to show any irregularity on the part of the board, or any officer, to come forward and make known the facts, and in the ex- amination of witnesses, they were all questioned as to what knowledg they had of the complaints made by any person of such irregularities, that the board might trace out thesource ofsuch complaints, and ascertain the facte camplained about. The testimony of the witnesses ex- amined was reduced to writing, and it was directed that a copy be placed on file with the secretary. After hearing all the evidence which could be procured, attaching to these ru- mors and charges, the Board was unanimously satisfied that there was no truth in any of the charges or ru- mors as to any graft in the inatitu- tion, or in the payment ofany money to any persons except for goods act- ually ordered and delivered. Nor was there any evidence, and the Board so found, of any attempt on the part of any one to eollect money from the institution for which goods had not been sold and delivered.
