L, Ives. ; Several school boards in the coun- ty have reconsidered their deeision about dividing the school term and will have @ continuous term this year Others, however, do not feel faclined to change their usual plan of division this year, but think they will doso next year. It is safe to say that there will be be but few di- vided sehool terms, and hence but few of the old time “spring terms” next year, ARE YOU SAVING MONEY 3 Te + IF NOT, WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW. The month of January has come and gone. Did Lyou save any money on your groceries during the month? It you saved anything who should have the credit? How much is your grocery bill per month? Say $15 00? There were 21 districts last year that had an average daily atten- dance of 12 pupils or less. There are about that number that so far this year have had a daily average of 10 pupils or less, These schools are greatly lacking in vigor and it is no fault of the teacher or pupils either. There muet be a larger number of pupils in order to secure that spirit and emulation necessary to healthy school work. Atleast four of these weak schools are serlously consider: ing disorganizing as districts and at- taching the territory to the adjoin. ing districts, Although this may cause some of the children to go further to school, the districts will be much stronger and hence will fur alsh much better school advantages: The cost of incompetent or indit. ferent teaching can never be definitely known. However, it ts known that the incompetent or indiffsrent teach- er robs the pupil of his opportunity, the tax payer of his taxes, and joup- ardizes the reputation of his succes- sor. What the best teacher can do with pupils depends upon the intel- lectual condition of the pupils when he gets them. Thedifference between competency and incompetency—be- tween good methods and bad meth- ode—between the teacher who loves children and the one who does not love them—can never ba fally de acribed.

Fuller Snodgrass butchered hogs Oae ofthe chief features of the State Teachers’ Association held at Jefferson City during the Christmas holidays was the consideration of teachers’ salaries, and the raising of levies or assessments necessary to produce the wherewithal to meet the condition. Some teachers in the state uredown to bed rockin the matter of salaries. Indeed, what they get scarcely deserves such a re- spectable name as salary. Supt. Greenwood of Kansas City, {n @ paper read before the Associa- tion, showed that the averagesalary pald teachers in Missouri is less than one dollar per day; and that this is less than the wages paid to mechan- fcs, hotel waiters, and other day laborers.
