libraries of this county during the past

All the schools of Northfork have
new slate blackboards. Quite num-
Der Of other districts have also purchas
ed slate blackboards this past season.
Bert Wilson, after years successful
experience in the schools of this county
has accepted position at more than
twice the salary in North Dakota.
John Williams has secured very
good position in the western part Of
the state. We predict the same success
for Mr.. Williams this year that he had
last.
Gertrude Du Bots goes back to Camp
bell, MINI, for another year with an
advanced salary. The school board of
that town believe in keeping q tirst-class
teacher.
All work for the school exhibit at the
fair should be taken to this Office by
October End. Over one hundred vol
umes are to be given to the schools
making exhibits.
The Manchester school board has
recognized the good work done by
Ethel Johnston and Pearle Stewart in
the rural schools by electing them to
positions in the Manchester schools.
Maude Hubbell and Oscar Dorman
were married recently at the home of
the bride at Edgewood. Mrs. Dorman
has been one of Delaware county's best
teachers.
Fred Main, who is one of Delaware
county's most successful teachers, is
now the principal of the Prairieburg
school. The democratic party Of this
county have seen fit to nominate Mr..
Main for the Office of county superin-
tendent. He is thoroughly qualified
for the position, and if he is elected he
will do much for the improvement Of
the schools. We believe that Mr..
Main has the respect and good will Of
every teacher In this county.
The examination papers handed in
at the close of the summer school were
the best lot of papers, we believe, that
were ever written in this county. Out
of over one hundred who applied for
certificates there were but six standings
below IS per cent. This is not the only
result Of the four weeks hard study
during those hot days in July. Better
schools are being taught in all sections
of the country because of the methods
and reviews given at the summer
school.
