While then I visited h.uiio public schools in thcity, thy Dakota Business College, and t.hn Agricultural College. I then went to Moore head, Minnesota, then I came to Canada and Uyan teaching at this place. They have just built a new school house and it ia well equipped with apparatus. There re three acres of playgrounds, with a fire break around as a pro tection against prairie fires. Here the government gives the specification for school buildings and they must be built according to plan. Also, the government selects the studies which must be taught. Here they pay a sup plementary tax to the govern ment, which I believe is at the rate of a cent for every acre owned, and they pay a local im provement tax which is used in the improvement of bridges and roads. In this school district, the rate of taxation for schools is nine and one-half mills, and as I understand it, the assessed val ue of the land is the same all over the district and they place the rate high enough to meet the expenses, The people here are very friendly and agreeable and it is a very nice school. I had planned to spend my va cation in Pennsylvania, but I con cluded to see what it was like here. Tomorrow is a holiday as the Roche Plain Grain Growers' Association have a picnic. Twenty-four kinds of sport will be indulged in, including races, a riding (bucking) contest with $25.00 as the prize. Steer riding, $15.00 prize. Ball game, $10.00 prize, &c. During the past ten days we have suffered at the school from a plague of mosquitos which is nearly intolerable, and necessi tating the use of smudge a:l day. I am getting a garment made to protect me from them while go ing to and from school. It seems to be a great tempta tion here to smuggle in groceries and other supplies from across the border in the United States they are a little cheaper there than in Canada. But Custom of ficers are watching the line pret ty closely. I failed to keep track of the two young men who came to isortn Dakota last summer from Fulton county and can maks no report of their likes or dis likes of the country. How would enjoy attending the Shade Gap picnic and the Walnut Grove Camp this year! There is no time in the year in whicji I would racher be home in Fulton county than during August when so many social events are going on.

Forty of the sixty direct ors were present The speaker for the occasion was Dr. C. H. Gordonier, of the Millersville State Normal School. Dr. Goi donier gave us some excellent suggestions on "Rural School Problems." RURAL EXAMINATIONS Instead of having but one ex amination at the close of the school term, we had three exami nations in this school year. The first examination was given at the end of the third month, the sec ond examination at the end of the fifth month, and the third exam ination at the end of the seventh month. Thirty-six passed this examina tion creditably, an increase of twenty-five per cent.' over last year. Still the percentage of failures was too high. The chief cause of the failures was, that many farmers keep this class of pupils out of the school through September and October to help to gather the crops. hope that the near future will change these conditions. I hope that farmers will soon see that the loss to the children more than counter-balances the financial gain in such a course. I hope that they will see that they are thus sacrificing the future wel fare of their children simply for small present gain. In conclusion, I wish to express thanks to the Department of Public Instruction for much need ed help received during the school year. Respectfully submitted, J. Emery Thomas, County Superintendent.

Even those requiring special brands of pickles to over come that feeling that arises from a too constant diet of psycholog ical aougnnuts could nna no fault with the menu.
