County School Letter.

Feb. 4th and 5th-all grades Of
certificates.
April 8th and 9th-frst, second
and third grades only.
June 10th and 11th-all grades
except for life diploma.
This gives q splendid opportunity
for ambitious teachers to raise
their grades Of certificates, and On
equally good opportunity for those
who have an ambition to teach to!
become properly qualified. With
these examinations coming upon
the dates which they do and with
the present ruling Of the Depart
ment to the effect that satisfactory
standings'in any subjects are good
toward q certificate any time with
in elk months of the time they are
secured, there is no reasonable ex-
cuse why anyone at all qualified to
teach should be without q vailed
certificate at the opening Of the
next school year.
Miss zoa Marsh, teaching in
Vauk school, No. SO, deserves much
credit for having walked in five
miles to the teachers meeting at
Tabor and was there by ten O'Clock,
too. This is a spirit worthy Of a
real teacher-"If you can't catch a
ride early enough to be in time,
walk"
The pupils of Dahlenberg school
raised a collection of $3.50 for the
South Dakota Children's Home
Society Of Sioux Falls. This is a
very praiseworthy act and is worthy
of being emulated in every school
in the county.
Miss Edith Atkin of the Normal
is preparing a paper to be read at
the State Meeting at Aberdeen this
week.
Certificates of award for four
months of perfect attendance have
been issued to George Voight of
Fair View school, Carrie, Mae,
Title and Fay De Roos and Ken
meth Grafton of Dahlenberg school.
Library certificates have been is
sued to Louis Radak of Radak
school, and Anna Kreber.
We visited a very small school
room last week in which there were
twenty-three pupils and the teach
er. 10 one coming in from the
outside the first and most striking
impression received was that the
air was in a very bad condition.
A glance showed that all openings
were closed tight and inquiry brot
out the fact that none of the win
dows could be opened. 1t was a
bright, pleasant day and yet the
vapor from the breath of the occu-
pants of the room had collected
upon the window panes to such an
extent it was impossible 10 see out
of doors. 1t is needless to say that
such conditions are extremely dan
gerous to the health as we'll as pre-
venting good work.
A new IL inch pendant globe,
and slate black board have been
added to the equipment of Villek
school, No. IL. Other improve
ments for this school are under
serious consideration.
The teacher and pupils of the
Perkins school gave a very success
full entertainment and basket sup
per on the 10Th. The proceeds
amounted to considerable more
than $50. Mistaken baskets and
plotting bidders are productive of
large proceeds.
Mae, Carrie and Fay DeRoos
and Kenneth Grafton of Dahlen-
berg school have not missed a day
from school since the beginning
last September.

DETERMINED EFFORT TO LINE
Up ORGANIZED LABOR.

Several sidelights on the labor in politics
movement were presented in the sidewalk
gossip among the delegates before the as
sembling Of the weekly meeting OF the
Central Labor Union last evening at
typographical Temple. 1t was the opinion
of more than one of the members Of

q determined effort will be made to line
up organized labor solidily with the demo-
cratic party in the coming presidential
election 1t vas pointed out that at the
recent primaries Of what Is known as the

several acknowledged labor leaders were
elected as delegates to the Denver con-

states Is being accorded, 1t was stated.
with the result that the hosts of labor
will be enabled to make most respect

the presidential delegates to the nominal
ing convention at Denver.
