No Summer Lessons will be held
at any of the Normal schools during
the summer of '99 nor will a sum-
mer school be held in this county
during 1899 The University sum-
mer school to be held at Minneapolis
will be open July 31st for four
weeks. Attendants are limited to
two solid subjects.
The National Educational Associ-
alton meets at Los Angeles, July
18th to 18th. The fare is now $50. 80
from St. Paul to Los Angeles and
return, going and returning by
direct diverse routes. The tourist
sleeper fare is Sc for double berth
from St. Paul to Los Angeles. If
one returns via Portland or ''The
Shasta Route $3.50 must be added
to the $500. No one, who intends
to 60 and who intends to stop at
Denver, Yosemite, San Diego, and
returns via San Francisco, Portland,
National Park and Salt Lake, should
start with less than $179 This al
lows for rs days expense.
Annual school meetings will this
year be held the third Saturday in
July, instead of the third Saturday
in June.
Rural schools, which now employ
teachers holding first grade GER
tificates and having eight months
of school, in a good comfortable
building, and which is supplied
with two outhouses and library
and other apparatus for doing ef-
ficient work, will be entitled to
Estate Aid to the extent of SIS per
annum This law ought to help
rural schools. "Semi Graded
Schools" with two or more depart
ments, will receive aid to the extent
of 500. Belview, Delhi, Sanborn
and Walnut Grove will be benefited
by this law. Morgan and LANDER
ton are now aided to the extent of
5000 each. Redwood Falls will be
benefited greatly by the new
change. Instead of the State Aid of
$500, as is now received, she will
receive in the future $500 per an
mum.
First and second grade certificates
for five years and two years, good
anywhere in the State public schools,
will be obtainable next year. Said
certificates are to be issued bv the
State superintendent of public in
struction and signed also by the
county superintendent, who is to be
the Judge of professional ability,
skill in teaching and moral character
of the teacher. The scholarship re-
CURED is somewhat higher than
ordinary county first and second
grades. Third grade certificates are
not renewable without examination,
nor can one be given but twice to
the same person. Teachers who are
teaching and who desire to take
such examinations may do so, with
out loss of time to the extent of two
days.
''TheSpecial Board of Examiners
for independent school districts has
been abolished.
Boards of school trustees may
pass a rule of order that higher
grades of certificates must be hello
by it's corps of teachers, than those
provided by the State.
All nonresident pupils are to be
admitted without tuition to the high
schools, providing said pupils pass
satisfactory examinations in arith
metic, geography, U. S. history
reading, spelling and English gram
mar. This change will make it easy
for number of young people t.
come in from the country to the
high schools.

Fund" has been exhausted, and nc
