G inot operated as represented on appli- eation for State aid and applying far 'State aid for teachers who either do not have certificates or whofe certifi cates are lower in grade and class than represented on State aid appli cation.” “All applications for State aid un der this law should b emade out in ac cordance with the exact facts,” the supervisor declared, “and should not be made out entirely in the office of the county superintendents as is now the case in a number of counties.” He urged every teacher to see that no ap plication is sent in except where “the exact facts have been recorded,” say ing this will mean that “equitable dis tribution of State aid will be had and the present hostility to the 6-0-1 law will cease. In concluding his report, Mr. Lewis laid down nine proposed changes he recommended for increasing the effi ciency of the rural schools. They were: Selection of county superintendent by appointment. • Enactment of an effective compul sory attendance law. . School survey of each county, and schools recognized in accordance with survey. County superintendent and county board to assist in selection of teach ers. Better, closer supervision bf work of teachers. State-wide examinations for seventh grade pupils as a prerequisite to pro motion to the high school, each coun ty putting on its own system for such examinations. The county as the unit of finance. TT ■ On November 20, there was shipped from the Ohio Wesleyan university to Presbyterian college a collection of paintings from the Metropolitan Mu seum of Art. These paintings, are now on exhibit in the library building and many students are enjoying their in spection. ed in red. In the background a dark red curtain is draped, showing a land scape through the window. Other pictures are: “Portrait of Frapc eaWilkes” by Ingham; “Bread winners” by Nicol; “Early Spring’ "by Tryon. There is much speculation as the The selections are very varied and • preference among the paintings,' but well chosen, consisting of landscapes, street scenes, night scenes, animals, buildings and persons, the artists be ing American, French, Dutch and British. ' Below is a short sketch of each painting and the artist: “A Young Holstein Bull” is consid ered by many as the best of this col lection. It is simply a landscape painting and a Holstein bull The lights in this painting are especially fine and the colors blend wonderfully as only true artists could blend them. This was painted' by Carleton Wig gins, sn American, born in 1848, and now living in New York. He is a pu pil of the National Academy of De- ( sign and of George Inness of New York. He also studied in France. The majority of Wiggins’ paintings are of landscapes with cattle. from general comment the one given the majority of first places is “A Young Holstein Bull.” Many-prefer “Aurora,” while some jay “Venice.” These three are certainly the out standing ones and by the most gener al classification stand in the order above mentioned. The public is cordially invited to view these paintings. Dr. Frank Crane Say a— BOMB COOKING IS IMPORTANT “If your wife can’t cook,” says a restaurant sign, “don’t divorce her.

Excerpts from Mr. Lewis’ report follow: “In the period above mentioned (Ju ly 1, 1925-June 30, 1926) the number of one-teacher white schools was dated from 664 to 447; the number of two teacher schools from 599 to 574; the number of three-teacher schools from 305 to 293;; jnore than three teachers, from 631 to 607. The total number of white schools wss reduced from 2400 to 1,921. The number of high schools has increased from 281 to 291. “The above figures show that peo-j pie everywhere are beginning to real- j ire the absolute inadequacy of the! small weak schools in the education | of their children—there are still too' many one-teacher schools, an average of about ten to the county “The growth in the number of rural high schools is most significant. Of the number of high schools applying during the last two years for recog nition by the State department, prac tically all are rural high schools. The establishment of these thirty-one high schools within this period is remark able, for it shows that rural people are beginning to see that even the four and five-teacher non-high schools are not* sufficient for the educational needs of their children. Furthermore, the leavening influence of these rural high schools is going to spread until country community able to sup- pqrt a high school is going to estab lish such a school. defects in the small, weak schools are largely due to inadequate supervision of the work of the teach- in all of the counties except two supervision of the schools is done by the county superintendents. _ Most county superintendents, on account of office work, do not have time for su- Othera are not capable of Still others weigh the pctftical consequences of supervision; if the teachers are pleasing the pat- and children,' they please the superintendent. Such super vision is worth nothing. The remedy for such supervision is to take the of fice of county superintendent oyt of politics, make it appointive and select a county superintendent oa account of his fitness in every way for the of fice.” Hand Work Display ; Miss Allie Garvin wishes to an nounce that she has a display cf nand work at her home at 106 East Kna avenue.
