Se | This is a small school and started late | year at Hannibal, November 9-11. John T. Withers, principal of the Teachers’ College of St. Louis, was selected as president of the next meeting. The teachers are well pleased with the change of time from the holidays. Platte county had 100 per cent of its teachers enrolled. Among the number was Miss Gussie | Moore, a former Bates county teach- | er, who goes there on account of | better wages. The following teach- ers were enrolled from Bates county: W. L. Coonrod of Rich Hill, S. E. Smith of Merwin, Miss Pearl Kemper of Prairie school, Miss Elsie McClen- ny of Freeze Out school in Spruce township, Miss Hoyland Rodgers and myself. Miss Kemper and Miss Mc- Clenny were present and both. are rural teachers. The rural section that has been added proved very popular and many rural teachers went for this alone. Quite a few quarterly reports have come in since our last notes were written and Miss Flossie McRoberts of Crescent Hill School reports all pupils perfect on punctuality, and no tardy marks. Miss Hazel McRoberts of Liberty school in Mound township reports all perfect in this also. Miss Helen Park of Center school in West Point township reports three tardies with an enrollment: of twelve. Miss Kate Walker of Pleasant Valley in Lone Oak township, with an enroll- ment of 25, has but four tardies. We. are very much in hopes that the next report will make even a bet- ter showing on these things and es- pecially on the attendance. While in| many instances the attendance has been as good as could be expected in | others it can be much improved. The | grades are very good on an average | but in many instances they could be improved and this should be done next quarter. Some think the ex-| amination questions are too difficult but we hope to raise the standard of | the schools by making these examina- tions more difficult from time to’ time, and the next questions will be very much as the present ones are. We are again going to insist that teachers look very carefully to the ventilation and sanitation of the school and school premises. Last Friday Miss Anna Woody of Wilcox spent the afternoon cleaning up. The girls, with her help, cleaned the room; blacked the stove and put the library in order while the boys looked after the yard and outside affairs. They even raked the yard and we are quite sure no yard in the county is in better condition than this one so far as being clean’ is concerned, but I doubt if this should all be left for the teacher and pupils as it is as much the place of the patrons to look after these things as it is of the teacher. Its superiority is unquestioned Its fame world-wide Its use a protection and a guarantee against alum food 3 The low-grade powders are made from “ phosphate alum,” or “sodium alumi- num sulphate,” which is also alum, a mineral acid, and that makes the food unhealthful. One pound of the imitation (25c.) powders contains five ounces of alum, a mineral poison. Food baked with alum baking powders is found to contain a portion of the alum unchanged. af The continued use of alum made food impairs digestion, causing dyspepsia.
