An Educational Campaign.

Superintendent of Education
McMahan is sending out to the
"arious county superintendent of
education, circular letter in
which he announces that during
the present year it is his purpose
to visit every county seat in the
state with the purpose of meeting
and talking with the school teach>
ers and trustees. His plans also
seem to include the organization
of teachers associations and the
discussion of the practicability
of opening summer schools. As
the school law now stands, the
county board of education is au-
thorized to renew first grade Ger
tificates to teachers who hold
them without requiring new ex.
aminations, if such teachers give
their attendance to Institutes and
associations, etc.

4 CARDGF THANKS

Mr.. Editor Please allow me
space in your paper to thank our
many friends for their kindness
during our mothers protracted
illness. We are glad to know
that she was made to feel, during
her entire sickness, that her
friends were not few, but many.
Now she has passed over the
river to join the loved ones who
have gone on before, in that sweet
land of rest. May we all so live
in this world that, when death
comes for us, we may be prepared
to meet our loving mother in that
better world. A. l.. Moblev.
