The Lewis school will have library

Work has begun on the new school

Sam Alexander has deserted his
county in her time of need and will
teach the Lone Star school in Pawpee
county.
In order to supply the schools with
teachers it has been necessary to is
sue several temporary certificates.
Granting these certificates is some
thing that superintendentsa always dis
like to do. It is unsatisfactory to all
concerned. The suspicion is often
aroused that the applicant feared to
take the regular examination and is
trying to scheme his way into teach
er's position. Persons who expect to
teach should not only prepare them
selves for their work but meet the
tests for fitness honestly and fairly.
Hereafter temporary certificates will

the school enrOllmenj for the year
1900 -O1 in Edwards county was 1907,
an increase of 30 over the previous
year. Considering the fact that the
population of the county increased
about 400, this is far from satisfactory
and proves what has been so often
mentioned in this column, that for
some cause the attendance at district
schools is steadily decreasing. 1t is
time that friends of the public schools
take this fact into consideration and
attempt to find the reason for it. Ig-
