I am delighted to say that the majority 0 fthe teach- ers and the pupils have done ex- cellent work, and especially worthy of praise are the third, fourth and eighth grade pupils, I am really proud of the work sent me, and I trust that the good work } will continue. ’’ Bates county teachers who are doing good work in teaching pen- manship and write fairly well, ac- cording to Miss Rosenthal’s _re- port: Cecil Nicolay, Ellen Rout- song, May Timmons, raking first.

Carefully follow instructions _ on Plate 2 and 3, Review these often. - - 2, Use the paper or large ink tablets (about 8 1-2 by 11), 3." Have pupils keep their class and home work in the folders or covers made by them. 4. Beginning with fourth or fifth grades, have the pupils write only once the outline on plate four on a sheet of paper. Colleet the papers and at the end of each quarter let them practice plate four and then distribute the sheets you collected and have them write this again only once. Collect these papers. Continue this ‘plan at the end of each quarter. This will enable both teacher and pupil to see the comparison and _ pro- gress in their work. Below the fourth or fifth grade use this out- line; I can write my name, 123456 7890, Name. 5, “For class and home’ work the following outline for each les- son is recommended. Write: Home work or class work, pupils name, date, Plate 1,- Copy entire plate, omit a line, copy entire plate again, and so on until the page is full. Whenever one of the copies seem difficult or if pre- ferred for additional practice an entire page may be made of each copy. Write on both sides of pa- per. ty will give penmanship certificates to pupils who have learned to write a good business hand. The particulars will be given upon re- quest of the teacher. Major Baby Judged Perfect Thomas D. Major of Paris, Mo., and grand-nephew of Gov. Elliott W. Major, is a perfect- baby, ac- cording to the result of the baby health conference held in Colum- bia Farmers’ Week. The score published by the American Medi- eal Association-was used. Thomas D. Jr. scored 100 per cent. The Major baby was 11 months and 23 days old_ when judged. He is a naturally fed child and has ‘always slept alone, in the open air during the day and in a room with two windows open at night. These points are in part responsi- ble for his good health and physi- cal development, the judges say. He was the only one of 17 babies to have a perfect score.
