TEACHERS REPORTS
Instructors Requested to Fill Out
Blanks and Return in Due Time
to Supt. Guy Ewing.
Northern Minnesota Educational AS.
ISOLATION Meets in st. Cloud
April 10th and 2Ist.

Teachers term reports for the year
have been mailed to every teacher in
the county. Some of the schools are
nearing the end of their terms, and
these reports must be made out prop
erly before drawing the last payment
of salary. The reports on the back
pages of the school register must also
be made out and filed with the district
clerk. Last years experience in fail
ing to file reports should be carefully
avoided. It caused considerable
trouble and delay.
Annual report blanks have also
been sent to all the district clerks,
and, though somewhat ahead of time,
they should be kept in readiness, filed
out and sent in as promptly as posi-
BILE after the annual meeting in July.
Many of these reports have to be
checked up at the auditors Office, and,
if not received there on time the an
nual report to the state department is
delayed. On these reports is based the
apportionment for each district, and,
if overlooked Or too long delayed,
trouble may arise in getting the share
of the state school fund entitled to.
Blanks for irst-class rural and semi
graded schools are now in the hands
of the clerks, and, as soon as possible
after the annual meeting they should
be filed out and sent to the county
superintendent Office.
Inquiry is frequently made as to the
$50 state aid for rural schools. It is
granted only to schools fulfilling con-
ditions as follows: First, school must
be held eight months during the
school year; second, the teacher must
hold a second grade state certificate
during the year; third, school house
must be suitable, with good outhouses,
library and such equipment as is
needed to do good work; fourth,
school building and each room must
be we'll kept, and proper provision
must be made for heating and ventil-
'ating.
The tenth annual meeting of the
Northern Minnesota Educational as.
sociation will be held at St. Cloud
April 20 and 2l, 1906. Sessions will
be held in the Normal assembly room,
with evening lecture in opera house.
Supt. II. E. White, Kate Kenely, A.
P. Richie and Isabel Lawrence are or
the program. They are we'll known
to Princeton people, and should serve
as an inducement to decide teachers
from this vicinity to attend. The
Normal Boys Quartet is down on
the program for several numbers
the same quartette that sang at the as
ISOLATION meeting here last Decem.
Der. This should be another incentive
to attend. The program arranged is
on the whole an attractive one and
bears favorable comparison with
that produced at the annual meeting
in st. Paul. Several of the teachers
here and in Milaca talk of attending
and some of the rural teachers may
attend if the weather proves propi-
tiOus -. -. e.. ...-.-.. 80
A rate Of a fare and third is given
on all railroad lines. Hotel rates
will be from s1.00 to $500 per day.
The convention is but a week ahead
of the next county meeting at Milaca,
and the county association will re-
ceive the benefits gained by attending
through the kindness of Prof. S. M.
Pinney of the Princeton schools, who
will take notes and speak before the
meeting in Milaca upon the proceed
ings at St. Cloud.
Do not fail to attend both meetings,
but if you absent yourself from either,
do so from that at st. Cloud and be
at Milaca for the last meeting of the
year.
