There is a revival CT interest in Kansas
in consolidation Of rural schools. Their
number has increased from six in 1903
10 twenty in 1906. y large number Of
communities are now considering the
question.

cation issues as Bulletin No. 10. THE

ton in the rural schools of Michigan =

teachers excuses for absence that are

western railroad at Osawatomie, Kan,
who has been working his way through
the university of that State, has been APP
pointed to a scholarship in the New York
School of Applied Sciences through the
influence of Miss Helen Gould.
From the first year of the Hyannis
Normal school there has been a students
loan fund and fully 10 per cent of the
graduates have made use of it. 1t IS in
teresting to note that these same gradu-
ates have been among the most success
ful. Principal Baldwin appeals for funds
TO nut ii on permanent basis.
An Illinois decision is that critic teach
ers in the practice department of normal
school may not be paid out of local funds.
The court held that the work of the critic
teacher is to teach pedagogy, and that
pedagogy has no lawful or proper place
in the curriculum of the common schools. "
Cambridge, Mass, provides for privi-
leges of study and travel one year in
seven for the public school teachers. A
teacher draws a part salary and has regu-
lar position upon return.
A peculiar feature of the new teachers
pension law for Troy, n. Y, is that to
retire on pension the teacher must have
contributed to the fund at least one-ffth
of his salary at time of retirement.
New Jersey has new teachers pen
sion bill. 1t provides for retirement ON
one-half the average annual salary after
thirty-five years of service, twenty-five of
which must be in the district where the
