ALLEN, Editer and Maer. Entered at the Pest Office of But- Jer, Mo, as second-class mail matter, PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR SCHOOL NOTES. A. C. Moreland, Counnty Supt. At the teachers meeting held Sept. 2nd and 3rd., there were some forty teachers who did not attend. Most of these were from the north half of the county. These teachers placed aside the best interests of the pupils and patrons of their respective dis- tricts for two days pleasure. As * a result I find that they are not following the Course of Study. Some of them are teaching all the grades when they should be teach- ing the work given in the odd numbered year in the course of Study. I am receiving letters ask- ing for my outline of the State Course of Study. For those who did not attend the meeting I will repeat what I said at that time. 1 did not consider it best to make “an outline as the examination papers show that many. of the teachers know nothing of the State Course of Study. I wrote _ Mr Gass regarding my requiring . the teachers to follow the State Course rather than a mere outline I should attempt to make. He __wrote me that I was right in re- _ quiring the teachers to follow the State Course so that ‘is the : my one. SS required by law, and- neither school board member or myself has any right to excuse a teacher from attending. This meeting is held at the expense of the coun- |ty. I have to take 30 per cent of {the examination fees for this pur- pose, and if I did not use it for |this purpose, it would be turned over to the county court. This | being true the teacher who does |not attend violates the law. If I were a school board menfber and ja teacher did not give me a law- ful exeuse for not attending-the meeting, I would not favor em- ploying her. Because of weather conditions I have visited only twenty-four schools. I shall not make fe- ports to the papers each week on my visitations. I shall not do this because some of these reports would not look well in print. For an example, if I were to prepare an article that would relate to the public that the doors, roof and part of the sides were off the toilets of any one district or that a certain teacher of any one dis- trict is not doing satisfactory work it would be unjust. Some of the reports would: be very similar to the above. If I can not report conditions as they really are, I shall not report them at all. The teachers boarding place has considerable to do in determining whether the teacher will make a success or not. Many‘good teach- era leave a district because they ean not find a satisfactory place to board. This condition is one that school- boards ever learn about. The best homes in teachers.
