Notice to School Of
fcers.

Census blanks have been distributed,
and any Clerk of District Board who
has not received a set should notify the
School Superintendent.
When a warrant is drawn In favor ef
a member Of the school board, it should
be signed by the other two members OF
the Board.
For good reasons, the Superintend-
ent will not send money in payment for
school warrants by registered mail un-
less there are exceptional reasons for so
doing He will send the Order he draws
on the Auditor, check on Wells, Far
go, or the money by postal order at the
option of the payee.
AS some teachers are in the habit of
closing their schools and leaving the
County without making out their final
report, permanent list will be kept in
the Office of such teachers, and be used
against them in case they subsequently,
apply for position in the County. 1t
is in direct violation of the school law to
close a school without first sending in
the final report.
owing TO bH6 Idcb bHdJ trustees are IN
the habit of paying exorbitant prices
for school supplies bought from the
agents who come through the County
every summer, they are notified that
hereafter no warrants for school sup
plies will be honored II, in the opinion
of the Superintendent, the price paid is
excessive. By ordering direct from the
Supply House, Boards can get a dis
count equal to the commission paid the
agent For information concerning re-
liable houses, their discounts, ETC., COR
respond with this office.
Those trustees who are in the habit
of writing cut their own school war;
rants, will find it greatly to their advan-
tage to have a blank warrant book. 1t
is almost impossible for trustees to keep
track of the finances of their district
unless they have the stubs to all their
warrants. Neither the County nor State
furnish these books, but they may be
obtained from any publishing house,
including the WHITE PINE NEWS,
very reasonable, considering their bene-
fit to the district.

County Superintendent.
