Educational Notes.

18 millions of pupils in the
schools of the United States
last year. This is about %
per cent of the entire
population. The average at
tendance is about 20 per cent
of the number enrolled. About
one-fourth of the half million
teachers are men. The average
salary paid men is $50 and that
paid women is $40.
There are, perhaps 9000school
boards in the state who per-
form the duty enjoined on them
to keep the school house in
good repair. The other 1000
who do not fully appreciate the
responsibility and their school
houses are wholly unfit for
school use. NJ teacher should
agree to teach in a dilapidated.
uncomfortable house.
A certificate to teach may be
revoked for incompetency, i'm
morality or neglect of duty
The certificate states that the
holder was of good moral char
acter and competent to teach at
the time it was issued. The
commissioner cannot revoke
for acts, practices and om's
sions of duty prior to date of
the issue of the certificate.
All matter of proper inquiry
must have transplred after its
issue.
Carrollton has recently fitted
up a manual training shop in its
high school. Twice as many
pupils want TO take the course
as can be accommodated. 1t is
hoped that the plans of those
members of the board who want
to provide a high school agri.
cultural course may be carried
out. This is one of the most
progressive high schools in the
state and has about twenty pei
cent OF its attendance from the
