VOLUME II.


With the issue of the TRANSCRIPT of
March Goth, was commenced volume sew
enteen of this paper. AS each volume
represents one full year, the TRANSCRIPT
on that date was sixteen years old. The
first ten years. life of the TRANSCRIPT was
an exceedingly checkered one. 1t was a
sickly child, with many different guar
dams. Its physicians and nurses who
attempted to vitalize and restore it, were
numerous and willing, but being political
quacks of the lowest order, each one
most ANONYMOUSLY failed in his turn.
The first ten years of the TRANSCRIPT we
are thankful we had nothing to do with.
We have no good words for it.
The present standing Of the TRAN
SCRIPT is first class. We know this to be
true, if it does appear like self-praise.
We know it's circulation is not excelled
by any other paper in Mower county,
that its reputation as faithful and reli-
able chronicler of local events is ahead
of any of it's contemporaries, and that
we intend to keep it so. For nearly six
years we have managed the TRANSCRIPT
and that during that time it has been sue
cess we know. Is there any harm in our
claiming the credit for it? We are willing
the people should know this much about
our business. We are only telling them
the truth. 1t does not pay to lie. If we
tell our readers anything about our bust
ness it shall be the exact truth. We shall
not say that we have ten or eleven hun
dred subscribers, when we have but nine.
We are not getting rich in the newspaper
business, but our patronage is a paying
one, and we have cause for thankfulness.
Hard work and wise management CHATS
us,) has brought us our reward. Now il
this. is blowing our own horn, so be it.
We want the readers of the TRANSCRIPT tC
know these things, and they would neve,
he said if we waited for any other editor
to say them for us.

The careful attention of trustees and of

The careful attention of trustees and of
teachers is called to the following letter :
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, }
ST. PAUL, April 25th, 1884. !
Supt. G. d. Belden, Austin, MINI
DEAR SIR Yours of the 25th inst. is
at hand. 49,.
ANSWER l.. A third grade certificate is
not valid until the number of the district
in which the applicant is authorized to
teach is inserted.
2. A contract made with a teacher
holding such blank third grade certificate
is absolutely void, and cannot be rem
dered valid by the subsequent sanction of
the County Superintendent and the inser-
ton of the number of the district.
3. It is the intention of the law to
prohibit districts from engaging third
grade teachers without the express sane
ton of the County superintendent.
I have consulted Attorney General
Hahn, and the above comedies with his
view of the matter Yours very truly,
w. w. PENDEReAsT,
Asst. Supt. Public Instruction.
The pressure of examination work .for
the past few weeks has interfered with
proper attention to this column. That
work is now finished. One hundred and
forty seven have attended the spring
examinations. OF these SO received
second grade certificates, 70 Sd grade,
and 80 were unable to come up to required
grade for certificate. The poorest
papers were in arithmetic. The questions
were nearly all taken for the practical
arithmetic of our state series and there
can be no reasonable excuse for being SO
deficient in this book. Teachers will do
well to bring up their knowledge of this
text book. .sss
The village schools in the county have
the following teachers for the summer
term: Grand Meadow, Miss Mamie Saw
yer, Miss Ella V. Lawrence Dexter, Miss
Nellie G.. Spencer; Brownsville, Mr..
Homer E. Perrin, Miss Cora E.. Lynch
Lansing, Miss Alice Padgett Lyle, MISS
Lima B. Evans; Rose Greek, Mr.. w. T.
Dudley Adams, Miss Myra Maxwell
Taopi, Miss Alma johnson; Leroy, Mr..
Edwin K. Cheadle, Miss Virginia B.
StrOther, Miss Nora Martz.
The district schools generally commence
this week and next, and Supt. Belden ex.
poets to start out next Monday ON his sum
mer visits.
Every teacher in the county is required
to use the graded course of study and to
keep a careful class record.
Teachers and trustees should send in re-
turns of commencement of schools with
out delay.
Supt. Belden was visiting schools in
Brownsville last Monday.
