Evans was one of the oldest residents of Sedalia and prior to her last illness was active in all community work. She was a faithful member of the Broadway Presbyterian church. She was beloved and respected by all who knew her. Mrs. Evans was born in Boonville, Cooper county, on March 10, 1835.

The meetings are for the purpose of demonstrating the best methods in school work, and every teacher, no matter how much experience she may have had, is expected to attend one of the meetings. If she cannot attend in her particular district, all other meetings will be open and she may attend in another district.

Cities, even with the possibilities of close supervision, give their teachers two half days each year to visit some school, these meetings answer the same purpose for the county teacher. Teachers are asked to bring their lunch, come at 9:30 and stay all day. Patrons and members I of the school boards are also wel- come. So necessary are these meetings that the state department of education will place no school on the approved list, either first or second class, if the teacher does not attend one of the sessions. The demonstrations are being held early In the year in this county, thereby giving the teachers the benefit of the methods shown during the entire teaching year.

Among those who will aid in putting on the demonstration work will be Mrs. Clara Wills, teacher training inspector for the state, who will demonstrate the teaching of a reading class, a class in reading and a class in writing. Should any of the patrons or school children in the district of the school at which the demonstrations are held object to being in school when other schools are dismissed, this feeling should be done away with, for the schools chosen are chosen because of the unusual good work being done there, and it is rather a compliment to the school. After the lessons are put on the children will be excused and the work will be discussed. The meetings will bo held at the following schools: Monday, September School, 4 miles east on Smithton road and one half mile south.

Tuesday, September School, 24 miles south of Houstonia and 3 miles west. Wednesday, September School, 4 miles east of Green Ridge and one mile south on Hlgh- w'ay No. 3. Thursday, September 17-Jackson School, 2 miles west of Dresden, 1 mile south of Highway No. 12.
