A Step forward.
The Polk County Teachers associa
tion, which convened at Monmouth on
tho 1st instant, made a step forward in
the interest of educational work in this
county. The 'association appointed a
committee to consider bids from the
newspapers of the county for the pur
pose ot selecting an official organ for
the public schools of the county. Tho
ENTEitrmsE was the successful com
petitor. Tho school teuchors of Polk
county have the honor of taking the
initiative in ;his movement. Polk
county Is the lirst county in the state
to have an of.lcial organ for the public
schools. The idea is not new, it has
bevu in vogue a number of years iu 'tho
east and Is quite a successful moans -of
awakening interest in the common
schi ols of tho country.
The public schools of each county
should have a recognized ofliciul "be
gun, for by this method they can do !
better and more efficient work in tho!
cause of education. It enables the
teachers to concentrate their efl'orts, to
formulate plans, to awaken mutual
enthusiasm among the schools and
arouse public Interest in educational
mutters. The ExTKRfiiiKK ia to give
a column each week for the benefit of
Mi.ssi-siin.i i 'ne public schools of the county. The
