Allison | Our School Board convention was our most successful meeting in that line that we have held. The resolution committee reported the following: “We, your committee on resolutions | port: “]—We favor a closer and more thor- ough co-operation of the teacher and the Board of Education. “2-In order that our schools may offer the best possible opportunities, | we favor the best buildings and equip- ment that it is practicable to secure. “3—Believing that teachers’ meet- ings and Reading Circle work tenda.. to increase the efficiency of our teachers, we shall, therefore, favor those teach- ers who have actively engaged in doing a vacation.

Don’t take any chances of spoiling the crop after seeing it through to the shock. It isall right to observe the mis- takes our neighbors make and to avoid making them ourselves, but it isa mistake to laugh at them on ac- count of their mistakes. Better speak to them in a friendly way and possi- by they may open our eyes to a few of our own. It isa great deal better to dope the hog house and yard with good disin- fectant than to dope the hog internal- ly. Itmay be all rig! to. dope the hog on the outside and to feed some- thing to aid in expelling worms, but it is well to remember that the “‘in- teis work. f “*4—Since our State money is now apportioned according to the average daily attendance, we believe that the Corgpulsory Attendance law should be more rigidly enforced, and pledge our- selves to use our best efforts to secure its more rigid enforcement. “5—On account of a large number of our children removing from one School District to another each spring, we fav- or the uniform beginning of all schools in the county. And we recommend that all schools begin on the first Mon- day in September each year. = ‘‘6—We favor ‘Clean-Up Day’ and recommend that Boards see that build- ‘ings, grounds, out-houses and wells are properly cleaned and made attractive and sanitary before the beginning of the term. “7—We favor the enactment of a uniform Textbook law for the State of Miseouri and request our representa- tives in the General Assembly to use their best efforts to secure its -nact= ment. terior works’’ of a hog are very much “Respectfully submitted. like those of a man. 4 e ae ‘" The silo isan immense fruit jar in .
