Educational few OF our schools
COUNTY Ss shs supt have secured teachers
and commenced the years work.
Only five of the teachers we had last
year are teaching ia the county and
1t seems almost Impossible to secure
teachers to fill vacancies. Letters
to state superinteudeuts and teach
ers' agencies of adjoining states
have so far produced no results ex-
cept replies to the effect that they
were unable to supply their own
schools At the officers meeting
last spring l warned officers that
they would have to look out for
teachers this year II they secured
them instead of waiting for teachers
to look for them. At least three of
our best teachers have been allo wed
to leave the county. / hope that
we may beable to secure teachers
soon but we must make some ar
rangements to give the children
luctt SChooiibS' VIC CdhhoO uhoio
to let the children waste, and worse
than waste, the best days OF their
lives. We must not let our prosper
ity prove damage TO our children.
Each should be in school every day.
Let us try and improve the attend
ance record of last year. Let US
give Iour teachers u chance and a
word of encoura g ement. Our ideas
OF how the school should be run
may not coincide with our neigh
boris 80 we should allow the teach
er some latitude. But anything
radically wrong should he called to
the teachers attention, and II not
corrected, then reported to the sup
erintendent. Teachers should see
that school property is well taken
care OF and not destroyed nor de-
faced. All defacing marks IL there
any, should be removed fron build
ings the first day, y,aGd pupils warned
that no more can be made without
bringing great trouble to the offend
er II discovered. LIT us try to i'm
prove conditions as far as possible
and then make the best of them, aud
all work together for a grand years
progress. There will be a teachers
meeting at the Gam Valley, school
house saturday, October q, at 2 p.
IN. All teachers are requested to be
present, as much Of Importance for
our years work can and should be
done at that meeting
