To County Superintendent and Of
ficers of Semi. Graded and Rural
Schools:
With regard to special state aid in
sem!graded and first and second class
rural schools:
Please note that al teachers In these
schools must hold STATE, not local.
certificates of the required grade for
the full school year OF eight months.
LIMITED second grade certificates are
not second grade certificates within
the meaning OF the law, aud do not
comply with the requirements, but con-
ditional certificates OF either the frst
Or the second grade are sufficient
Proper heating, ventilation, out
houses, supplementary reading, libra
~ additions, ETC., MUST BE PROVIDED
BEFORE DECEMBER FIRST, so that
the pupils may reap the benefit for
practically the entire school year;
otherwise the aid cannot be granted
1t is not sufficient TO make these pro-
visions during the latter part of the
school year, as that would not comply
with either the letter or the spirit OF
the law.
Those in authority should make a
careful study Of heating and ventila-
ton before installing . plant. AIDE
qnate provision must be made for ad-
uniting fresh air from without in such
q manner that 1t can be properly heat
ed before it Is thrown into circulation
In the schoolroom, and also for draw
ing of the foul air from near the floor,
thru . shaft properly heated 50 as to
create current for this purpose. (See
Bulletin No. 3, Heating and Ventlla-
tion.) 1t necessary, some pert should
be employed to do this work. These
improvements may seem .costly, but
the theory of our special aid laws IL
msuifestly to help districts that ex-
prove their schools. II
Hereafter county superintendent will
supply the data required by this de.
partment with regard to buildings,
equipment, etc. Blanks for this pur
pose will soon be forwarded you, and
you will give oil interested district:

Editor of THE REGISTER.
Dear Sr:-The statement made by
your Bridport correspondent in last
weeks issue that Mrs. McQuivey had
resigned her position as superintendent
of the Y. P. 5. G. E. is incorrect. As
this has been the means of misleading
many who are interested in this society,
l beg to say in the columns of Your
paper that Mrs. McQuivey simply re-
quested her friend, Mrs. Pencil, to take
these meetings for a short time. This is
merely temporary move, and in the
course of week or so, the meetings will
be held as formerly in the vestry of the
Congregational church.
Thanking you for the insertion of the
above.
/ am yours sincerely.
