The towns having new school houses, |
are: Wyalusing. Marion, Liberty, Lam
caster and Wingville, the last named |
town now having two we'll built, COM
modious school houses, of two depart /
ments each. Five more new buildings, |
in various parts of the county will be |
ready for occupancy this winter A
few old buildings have been made quite /
comfortable, through being well re-
paired, and furnished with comfortable /
new seats and desks. Real slate black |
boards have been placed in several |
schools The use of slate solves the I
black. board problem; for, if it is once /
placed in a school-room, it never needs I
repairing, and will, apparently. last al I
ways. But nine towns show an increase I
in school population. The decrease, in I
the county, is 55S. The falling-oif is
most noticeable in the towns formerly /
given largely to mining; and is. /
probably owing to the fact that +
many families have been COM
PEELED. through the failure of the +
mines, to seek employment elsewhere. /
Some schools, that, ten years ago, gave +
busy employment to two teachers, now (
have but one and usually that one has I
q small school The villages, and some I
of the farming districts, are increasing in /
school populations and are disposed to .
increase the number of departments in /
their schools. This is especially the I
case with Lancaster, Bloomington, |
Montfort. Fennimore and Cuba City |
The Normal Review School, con-
ducted for eight weeks, this summer,
by Mr.. G. X. Sbowalter, at Cassyille, |
was, as usual, productive of much good. |
The results have beer such as TO encour-
age several like enterprises in various
parts of the state; and teachers gener-
ally give hearty approval of the work
done by them. They are held at n time
of the year when few schools are in
session, thus permitting teachers to take
4 up review and advanced work without
/ losing any time from their own teaching
