BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS (Concerning Bobby Fountain’s | Was Ready to Swim to Sitka. AND TEACHERS. By County Superintendent P. M. Allison. | Several districts failed to hold any meeting last Tuesday on account of | the weather. As a result they are | having to call special meetings in sev- eral places in order to increase the} levy. Ina few places they had up| propositions to build new buildings | and several of these were lost for various reasons. In Cornland dis- trict they concluded they were not | starting rightand are going to try this again and we believe they will} make a success of this attempt. Over | at Smoky Row in Mingo they started right but did not finish right, that is | the proposition failed to get enough | votes. We hope that they will re- consider the matter and build a new | house, for they need it. At Mulberry, in Homer township, the proposition | was lost on account of a proposition to change location of building site. They all realize that they need a new house and all are willing to build one but they can’t quite agree as to where itshould be. There is no question but they needa new school ground or the present one improved. This, however, isa matter they have to settle for themselves and we believe they will do so and build them a new house between this and the first of September. The grounds are not) given the attention they should be} and one special case we have in mind | is Freeze Out in Spruce township. Here they have a fine building well equiped but their yard is not in as good condition as it should be, but these people are awake to the fact) and are going to look after the mat- ter this year. The papers on county graduation | of them highly sensational, and the | postal card for a booklet on Missouri are coming in in good condition and) performance throughout is as pretty | lands, then go a itseems now that we are going to| have a much larger class than last | year. Adrian and Rockville came | over to help us out in the work and} we feel very proud of them for this. | Every eighth year pupil at Rockville) took the examination and we under- stand they did the same at Adrian. The indications now are that Deer Creek township is going to lead in this so far as applicants are concern-| ed. The date for our graduating exer- cises has been changed from May 6th to 5th on account of Dr. Hill having an appointment that he could not make if he had to be here the 6th. As soon as we can get through | with our county graduation we expect to turn our attention to district clerks | record the new law requiring the) county superintendent to inspect each clerk’s work, This will require an-| other trip over the county and will take about five or six weeks time. | The time and trouble will be enjoyed | _ if the clerks only have their records | well kept. Several pupils have written me let- ters and cards expressing their ap- preciation of the certificates of honor given in the spelling contest and one pupil, Thelma Hill, adds-that she ex- pects to try in the sewing or cooking contest, one. Such pupils are the ones that make our schools better and | aftewards make useful men and wo-| _ men. Inour teachers’ examination, which was held March 25 and 26, some pupils took the work who were con- testants in the spelling last year and their work showed the benefit of the training they received. One of them made the highest grade made on the subject, however, we must say that all teachers present did not write on this. A few teachers are quite anxious that we have a spelling contest for teachers this year while others are opposed to it believin * it would work ahardship on some and my opinion is that they are right about the mat- ter. The interest in the corn contest is much better than we expected at first. Almost every township has one or more representatives enrolled for ja straight dog and pony show, no | intellectual visitor. work and every day brings a few more. Ifany one enrolling fails to . Teceive literature concerning the work in a reasonable time they should | si report to me and I shall be pleased to | sourt, to-wi write Mr. Jordan on the matter as they are quite anxious to furnish as many as will try. Through the kindness of the Secre- tary of State, Cornelius Roach, we are able to furnish every one room _school in the county with a very de- sirable book. And our Mr. C. 0. Dickinson has agreed to furnish all having more than one room a fine map of the United States which will be forwarded to the Superintendent of each school. Show. The aged maxim, “‘when you have | seen one dog and pony show, you have seen them all,”’ does not hold good with the Bobby Fountain Show. First, the management of this show | knew that the surest and safest way | to gain friends and “patrons was to add on and enlarge the show in every way, thus giving its patrons more for | their money than any previous sea- son. Then in catering to all classes and all ages they knew that many do not} care to sit for two hours and witness | matter how: well the dogs and ponies | are trained nor how many of them there are. ° So in addition to Prof. Harry Clark’s famous troupe of educated ponies and | performing dogs (which are conceded by those who know to be the very best on the road to-day) there are ci cus performers in all lines, such as clowns, tumblers, contortionists, slack wire and high wire artists, jug- | glers, aerialists, trapeze, horizontal bar and roman ring performers and the best trick-mule riders to master the worst bucking and kicking mules | obtainable. In addition to all this splendid pro- gram there is the marvelous areo-| plane, which is exhibited twice daily. | This alone is worth going miles to see and is the only one to be seen with any tent show in the middle-west to- day. . No ordinary performers have been considered for a moment. Every man and woman with the show have been chosen because they were the | very best to be found anywhere in| their respective lines. The acts are new and novel, many | | | | | r= | | an entertainment as ever seen under | canfass. Manned by gentlemen, from man- | agers to stable-boys; entirely -free from ‘‘grafters,’’ gamblers and ruf- fians, this show leaves no immoral | wrinkles behind in the community where it exhibits, and is about the | only show where ladies and children, | the good, moral and refined, can visit | safely; where no word, act or deed is permitted to offend the most exacting We take pleasure in announcing the coming of this splendid show to Butler Monday, April 18.
