very good specimens.
Teachers who have papers to be
given at the meetings and who find
it impossible to attend should send
the papers to be read by someone
else. If this can not be done, it
will be deemed a courtesy, as we'll
as q favor, if a notification Of such
inability is sent to the superintend-
ent at the earliest convenience.
Elmer Spurrell and Grace Eisen-
ga Of Niles school, Johnny DeNnei,
Joseph and Josephine Kadlec Of
Bambas school, have contributed
to the school exhibit some very fine
water-color maps Of South Ameri
ca and sections of the United
States. These maps show very
accurate form, location of political
and physical features, and a fine
blending of colors. These pupils
and their teachers, the Misses
Spurrell aud Barth, have just
grounds to be proud of this work.
The board of education Of Scot
land has decided to separate the
seventh and eigth grades. These
grades have grown so large that
one teacher can not do justice to
them together. This necessitates
the addition of another teacher TO
the corps. The Scotland schools
are growing and increasing in eff
cheney.
The Misses Susie Wood and
Margaret. Williams. Mrs. Mary
Wood, and Stanley Kram ar of the
Springfield teachers district and
the Misses Miunie Carter, Alice
DolAn, and Aletta Satrang OF
Avon; and Frank Nelson of Tabor
were in attendance at the meeting
Saturday and took an active part.
This is a commendable spirit of
progressiveness.
Twenty eight of the thirty three
teachers Of the Tyndall district
were in attendance at the meeting
Saturday. The absences were more
than balanced by the presence OF
eight teachers from other parts Of
the county. All of the topics we're
very ably handled by those to whom
they had been assigned and lhe
discussions were quite free. The
piano solo by Mrs. W. J.. Robin
Son and the vocal solo by Miss
Edith Terpennlng were greatly en-
joyed. 1t was to be regretted that
a bad cold prevented Miss Rosina
klehlbauch from giving one of her
pleasing readings. Never-the- less
she was present and entered heart
lily into the discussions.
