"ounty Superintendent of Education Wants to Meet Trustees and Parents at the Schools. The county superintendent of edu ation has visited several of the b chools during the past two weeks, n Lnd had hoped to continue these visits b "egularly. o In speaking of the matter, Mr. Aull aid: "I wanted to spend two or three 0 lays in each week in visiting the chools until all of them had been risited but owing to the condition of t he roads and the exceedingly bad d veather, these visits will be postpon- r ,d until the weather breaks. I do I his not so much on my own account b )ut for the reason that in visiting I e he schools, I want to get the trustees b tnd as many of the patrons out to a neet me at the schools as possible, p and with that end in view, I have noti- ia led teacher and trustees of the day : and the hour at which I expected to a e at the school. In all of the schools, v ,xcept one, that have b:en vi.itcd, a everal of the trustees and p;.trons avie been present, and this one the . otices were not received in time. My urpose is to see if I can not arouse Ln interest on the part of the patrons n the education of their children, and feel that if I can get them out to he school building, and let them see he condition of the building, and r neet the teacher in the school room, hat I may be able to enlist their en- f :ourageemnt and sympathy with the P eacher in her work, and also arouse hem to the importance of improving he environment of the children in he school. "I will begin the rounds again as oon as the weather clears, and will ;ive notice in time so that parents nay meet me at the school building. t want to see present not only the athers and the trustees, but I would d ike to have some of the mothers to ome and meet with me. If it is pos ible to make the mothers realize the [nportance of giving a little more at- d ention to the conditions surrounding heir chilren in school, I am satisfied t hat a great work will be accomplish d in the education of the children in te country. With this in view, I am. rging that the parents come out to. te school building. I am almost h eady to conclude that a great many arents seem to .give less attention Sthe proper training and educationa f their children than they do to their usiness affairs, and I am satisfied h liat it is not on account of lack of li aterest, in their children but simply F ecause they have~ not stopped to con ider the good they might do in this F rork by giving to it a little of their ime and attention. "I hope by Tuesday to publish in e papers a schedule for several of e schools during the next two reeks. I would like also to empha ize the fact that when I. make an ppointment at a certain hour, it is iy purpose to be there at that hour, ecause in order to get around to all f the schools in the county before't ey close, it will be necessary to vjisit f go or three each day. This can be*I one, and from one to one and one-a alf hours spent with each school." - IF OLLAR-ADAY BILL WAS TURNED DOWN . p. moot's Pension Measure Substituted l By Senate Committee. tl Washington, February 12.-The t he wood so-called "dollar-a-day" , nsion bill was rejec-ed today by n. e senate committe.3 ou pensions,. ad another measllre, which would! solve an arnuai c,-penditur3 of $24, :1,000, propo'sed as a substitute by y enator Smcot, of Utah, was adopted. enator Brown, of Nebraska, and Cur s, of Kansas, gave notice that in the mate they would press the Sherwood v ll ,as a substitute for the Smuoot It ill. ol Serator Smoot's estimate of $24,- h4 )0,000 as the cost of his plan is bas-) il upon the pension bureau's compu-h ition of age and length of service Jti Sthe veterans.
