SCHOOL NOTES.
By Supt. Xptnon.
State SuDerintendent Churchill has
just published a tniall patnohtet con
taining suggestions for parent-teacher j
associations. This pamphlet will be.
ready for distribution within a few
days. 1 he work of the parent-teacher i
associations thiougbout the State- has.
proven of great value. The Stat" I
University and the U. S. ' Bureau of!
Education are both cooperating with
the State Supeintendent in developing
the work of the associations througoct
the State.
Teahers will soon receive from the
Agricultural College the premium
lists for the State indostrial contests.
At the conference of the secretaries of
the fair boards and the county super
intendents, held , in Salem Jan. 2.
many plans for making the local con
tests more valuable were discussed.
It ia likely that another conference
will be held in March to perfect the
plans. In the meantime it ia honed
that teachers, parents and pupils will
begin to plan for the work. It is
time to begin planning for the raisins
of vegetables, corn and other product!.
Some of the woodwork features might
be worked out during the wintei. It
was suggested at the conferenoe that
ther shoo id be oontests in other lines
as well as In the industrial lines.
Some of these may be in debating,
soellog. arithmetic and declamation.
As many schools have only six months
work it will be necessary that the
teachers of these schools en:ourage
their pupils to go ahead with the
work after school closes. In order to
aid in tins it will be advisable that
the industrial clubs be oganized. The
bulletin wnich the 0. A. 0. will send
out will contain the plans for organ
izing these clubs. There should be
such a club in every rural district.
We can scarcely estimate the value of
this line of work henoe it is to be
hoped that every school will undertake
it.
Several schools in tbe connty have
recently purchased the New Interna
tiona) Dictionary. This is a good in
vestment. The small dictionaries are
valuable for spelling, syllabication,
and pronunciation bnt as Dt. O'Shea
points out they are not so valuable
for definitions. The definitions and
illustrations are too brief hence the
necessity for a copy of the larger
work. A lew schools have purchased
the old Webster'i Dictionary which is
sold at a low figure but it is a poor
investment for it is a quarter of a
century behind the times. "The best
ib cheapest" is an old adage and it is
a true one when applied to most
school equipment.
