An education column praises varied strategies to increase daily school attendance. Techniques include attendance cards, prizes for meeting targets, merit awards, and banner incentives. Some counties report higher attendance and improved school spirit from these plans and promotion systems.
The article urges every school to acquire a library as most families own few or no books beyond the Bible. It notes teachers using library books for stories and opening exercises and describes assigning Friday reading and Monday summary tasks to train memory, expression, and written language.
A county report praises school district consolidation and a Teachers Reading Circle. It notes districts under nine square miles, nine months schooling, and strong teacher participation. The program spurs library purchases, building upgrades, clubs, debates, and county fair exhibits, with honor rolls and published results.
