COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The next regular examination
will be held Feb. 20 and I'll. The
semi-annual examination for pri-
mary certificates will be given at
this time.
Mr. John Unruh, teaching in
Hornstra school, No. Al, attended
the meeting of the State Educa-
tional Association. This is indi-
cative of a progressive spirit.
The warrants for the January
apportionment are now ready and
may be had by calling on the III
ditor for them. The total appor-
tionment for this county for the
half year is S324S. 60, or 90 cents
per pupil. !
A bookl,t, The story of the Pill
grims, by Grace E senga has been
received. The language, peuman
ship, and illustrations are very
praiseworthy; also a collection of
the wood of trees that grow in
this section by Boldewyn Odens
gives evidence Of a careful study
of this practical subject.
Teachers meetings will be held
as follows: Springfield, Saturday.

meetings. There is great need
that both patrons and officers as
well as teachers t Ike a deep inter-
est in, AMI make a thoro study of
school questions. Our schools
are accomplishing only a small
part of what they would accom-
lish if the patrons took the inter
est in them which they should
take. Town schools everywhere
have made great progress, but the
rural schools are net tdysnced
much beyond their positi-n OF
twenty. FIVE years ago.
Mi. John F. Kirk has taken
charge of Geishert school, No. 81
in the north part OF the county.
Very nearly FIVE hundred teach
ers were enrolled at the State
Meeting at watertown last week.
1t was one of the best meetings in
the history of the association.
Many very helpful and suggestive
papers were read and discussed.
The two lectures by DR.. G Stan
ley Hall were exceptionally ms
tructive and to the student of psy-
chology and school problems will
furnish much food for that. The
association almost unanimc usly
approved the present certiication
laws, and commended highly the
administration of these laws by
the State Department of Educa-
ton. Those from this county

His Gentle Reproof.

The London newspapers used to
make a distinction between a simple
notice of death, for which they charg-
ed 5 shillings, and a brief obituary,
for which they demanded seven and
sixpence. One day DR.. Thomas Hume
called at the Office Of morning jour-
nal and silently placed upon the coun-
ter the announcement Of the death of a
friend, together with shillings The
clerk glanced at the paper, tossed it to
one side and said grufly, "Seven and
sixw IT have frequently" answered
Hume chad occasion to publish these
simple notices, and have never before
been charged more than shillings."
"Simple" repeated the clerk without
looking up. "There's an added line,
universally beloved and deeply regret
ted isn't there? Seven and six"
Hume produced the additional half
crown and laid 1t deliberately by the
others, observing in his most solemn
tone, Congratulate yourself, SIR that
this is an expense which your execu-
tors will never be put to-"
