County Supt. at Darlington.

County Supt. Nye's remarks at
the Lafayette county convention of
school boards were we'll received by
the large gathering present and
received very favorable comment
from the press of that county.
The Republican-Journal speaks
as follows Of our popular superinten-
dent:
Charles H. Nye, county superin-
tendent of Grant county, ably
handled supplementary Text
Books, Blackboards and Apparatus. "
Mr.. Nye has been superintendent
of Grant county for a number of
years and when it comes to dis
cussing school questions he knows
just what he is talking about. He,
too, favors the consolidation of
small schools. The school boards
IN these districts think seven months
of school and low salar1ed teacher
who is very often poor one,
sufficient, because the school is
small. He thinks free text books
the proper system and thirty
country districts in Grant county
have adopted the plan and would
not go back to the old way. School
boards should be salaried so the
proper interest will be taken in the
work. AS it is, they seldom visit the
school and know little about it's
welfare or advancement. Mr.. Nye
particularly emphasizes a full equip
ment Of maps, blackboards and
other school apparatus"
