Plan to plant trees and improve
the appearance of the school inside
and outside.
The first Diplomas Of Honor
have been issued to Elmer Zelenka
lof Pleasant Ridge school No. 35
and Henry Klehlbauch of Clear
Lake school No. 11 11e These attest
a perfect attendance Of nine months
and their possessors should be Just
| ly proud of them.

issued the pasttwo weeks to-: Frank
Rehrek, Bert Peterson, Harry Kuk,
Lillian Curl, Thula Smith, Thomas
and Albert Slmek, Martha and
Tony Kiehlbauch, Mary Varilek,
Robert Hamburger, LOUSY and
Amanda Ritter and William Haley.
Gardner school No. 36 has de-
cided to have a spring term of two
months. This is wise move and
will give the smaller pupils advant-
ages and advancement which they
need. Miss Jessie Bardwell has
been secured as teacher. In her
the school will have faithful ear
nest worker. She opened school
Monday.
Fifteen applicants wrote for certi-
ticates at the examination last week
three for first grade, eight for se-
cond, aud four for third grade. A
number Of teachers who are teach
ing on specials" failed to "make
good by taking the examination as
they should have done. The law
which gives the right to issue
specials" states distinctly that
they can be good only till the next
regular examination. The accept
ance of such accommodation i'm
plies that the acceptor will "make
good" lor at least endeavor to do SOY
at the next regular examination.
Such failures will cause the refusal
OF all such accommodations.
Miss Blanch Renner began a
two months spring term in the An
drus school No. AZ. Miss Renner
has taught the past two years in
Koenig school, 76, where she gave
good satisfaction.
Now is the time to plant trees
the earlier the better. Dig the
holes three feet wide and three feet
| deep put foot of loose black fer
tile dirt in the bottom of the hole !;
select trees one to three inches in
diameter, trim off all the limbs, be
sure to straighten out the roots,
fill up around the tree to within
four inches of the level of the
ground with dirt and the rest with
straw, throw little dirt on the
straw to hold it, dig little bitches
running to the tree for a radius of
ten to twenty feet. Trees put In
this way are sure to grow il they
are in good condition when they
are put in. All things considered
| the elm is the most preferable tree
for this purpose. Every teacher,
every school officer and every pa
tron should be interested in max
ing the schools more pleasant and
inviting in appearance than they
are now. Things of this kind are
evidences of enterprise and thrift.
| School has closed in districts {:
No. 60, No. 67 and No. 76. 1t is
| to be regretted that the rural child
/ is not given the same school ad-
vantages that his town cousin re-
ceives.
Hughes school, No. 81, with its
neat papered walls, fine book case,
organ, new clock, good maps, large
dictionary is one of the neatest and
we'll furnished schools we visited.
The situation Of the school is ideal
and with some good trees around
| it the patrons of the district should
be proud Of both its interior and
exterior. The school is in charge
of Miss Katherine Daub who is do
ling very good work.
