I'lireiit-Tcns'lier Circles
Durinir the past vear upwards of
25 parent-teacher circles have assist
ed our schools ulouu various lines of
netivitv. They have been especially
helpful to tho Junior Hcd Cross. Their
work has been of inestimable value
ai:d it is hoped that the dav will hast
en when'overv sehool district will
have such an organization.
liurnl School Supervisor li. E. Mor
ris beinir asked to iiive nn idea of the
conditions in the strietlv rural schools
sovs".."The oiillvinir schools in Jack
son eoiintv lire iusl about holdini!
their own. takinir what we would com
monly term a strietlv educational
view, but even tho added burdens ol
war thev have not fallen behind. In
war wgrk even the most remote
schools have done' wcjl, Thev have
not lacked in patriotism nor in ac
tive constructive work uloni: war
lines. - .
Needed Improvements
"Tho most needed-improvements in
these strietlv "rural schools are those
improvements which would reomre
tho expenditure of monev, and in re
gard to such proirress the war has in
teilVrrcd with the interests of the
schools. Under normal conditions,
ouito possibly one cood school build
iim would have been erected; a con
solidation plan miulit have carried nnd
plans laid for building: ut' least one
school board would have installed a
heating plant: and nossiblv two oth
ers would have drilled wells: while
at present tho old and unsatisfactory
conditions prevail. Hut. the idea of
Inking steps in advance when condi
tions are right has not gone to rest.
Even during tho past vear five one
room schools have appropriated n
total of about $2T for library hooks.
A few other similar items of nroeress
could lmr" fry. i'. A;i endeavor has
been made to keep tho teaching effi
ciency high, and to prepare the
schools for the charmed conditions
following the. war." ,
Hcliool Wur Activities
War activities have been given, con
siderable prominence during the past
year throughout all the schools, for
two ideas have been foremost in the
minds of our teachers, namely (1) to
do all possible to help win the win and
(2) to fit the younger generation for
the new era which will follow.
"Tho schools of Jackson coiiuly
have reason to be nr.-oid of the rec
ords which thev have made in miioy
of the drives nnd campaigns. Ninetv
cight and five-tenths per cent of IJ
the families in the county sigii'-d 'oor
aduiinislrution pledge cardx for
teachers and school children.
"In the ninctv-thrco orgnnized
school districts of the eoiintv. thtre
nro 88 Junior lied Cross organiai-1
lions. Thrift has been emphasized
ami practiced to the extent that moxt
of our students have ut least Iennn?d
some of the great underlying princi
ples of thrift nnd most of the stu
dents in the eonrilv have kent rccordx
of the wnv their limo nnd money hna
gone. Tho school bov anil dirts
pledged themselvoK' to "oarn ond
wive," ncnrlv n 200 per cent nttotn in
the United Wur Work campaign.
Other war aet'iviticst have received
careful attention in addition io thoso
already mentioned.. ; '.
"In tho menntimo schools have boon
keeping paco with tho so-called rou
lar school work. In mnnv cases ono
is justified in saving that thoso
schools have done best which buvo
eagerly participated in ilio war work
nsked of them." :
