COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
By rHE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

perintendent: "The graded
schools of your county are, no
doubt, in session by this time or
will be next week. We ask that
you see that all teachers in all
such schools hold valid certi6cat-
IS as provided by law.
Another ruling by the Depart
ment of Education is to the effect
that applicants for certificates who
fail at one exapina,ion may, at
any time within six months, sub
NIT their "standin sheets" AMI be
exempted from examination in
all branches of former examina-
ton the standings of which were
above the average required for
the certificate applied for.
The walls of the new Tyndali
school building are nearly compile
ted, and the appearance is enough
to prove that when finished it will
be one of the finest public school
buildings in the state.
Notifications of the beginning
OF school have been received from
the following teachers: Case dist.
No. 10, Agnes Strelesky; Plattner
No. ID, Mary PIattner; Cotton
wood Grove, No. 20, Amy Cox;
Pleasant Ridge, No. s., Stanley
Kramar; Mennonite, No. Al, An
ma Schmidt; 'Kirkwood, No. as,
Bessie HE'D; Trumbo, No. 81,
Ben A. B. csc; Avon, Nc. Sc, VIM
Chamberlain, Alice Dolan, ST
rang, and Minnie Car er.
1t is a matter to be commended
that most of the town schools and
many Of the rural schools have re
tanned their respective teachers of
last year. When the wo k of the
teacher is put upon that business
basis which makes it worth while
to endeavor to hold the same posi-
ton continuously we shall have
more efficient teaching.
On the school grounds the tea
cher is the author d agent of the
school Corporation, and as such
agent s ould see that none of the
school property is unpc c.ssarily
marred or destroyed. The tea
cher is responsible for negligence
in this line. Another standpoint;
one of the most important Il fngs
to be taught is the respect for pro
perty of others. ......
Miss Myra Bouye of Madalla,
Mimi, and Miss Mary Murtha OF
Sioux City arrived Saturday and
took charge OF schools Monday,
the former in the Gardner, and
the latter in the Fair View dist

New seats, a new teachers desk

New York. Feb. 1S.-The dealings in to-

efforts of the professional traders to

incident that had most to do with curb

selling in Amalgamated Copper and Ana

nice balance of their several needs with
as little unsettlement as possible. Ster-
ling exchange in Paris rose vigorously to-
day and this was attributed to remit
tances from Paris to London in payment
of subscriptions TO American railroad note
issues. An accumulation of American
credits in London is thus going on, and
the absence of competition against the
Bank of England for the gold in London
was again believed to be due to defense
of New York bankers to the needs of the
