County School Notes.

of SO per cent brains and so per
cent hard work"
There are about twenty schools
that have not yet secured teachers.
Pres. Wenzlaff of the Springfield
Normal is taking up his work with
a zeal and earnestness that bodies
we'll for the institution.
Misses Margaret Williams and
Grace Morrison are teaching the
third year in their respective
schools. This fact is indicative Of
the praiseworthiness of these teach
ers and their respective school
boards.
Every school should be equipped
with a Webster's international die
tionary. This is a very useful and
necessary book for the schoolroom.
A poorly equipped school is like a
poorly equipped farm. See Sec.
145 of school law.
The boy or the girl who starts in
the first day and who is neither
absent nor tardy the whole term is
the boy or the girl who has the op-
portunity of getting the greatest
good from the school.
Every teacher should notify the
county superintendent of the open
ing of his or her school, at least by
the close of the first week. See
Sec. 1877 of the school law. Use
blank furnished in teachers book
of blanks. These may be had by
calling for them from the clerk.
From the standpoints of attend
and interest, the following
teachers have an almost perfect
institute record for this year: Mar
garet Williams, Katherine Daub,
Bertha Eads, Agnes Abbott,
Blanche Renner, Mary B.. Wood,
Elizabeth Wagner, Orpha Pegley,
G. c. Carkuf, Matte McBurney,
Edith Stevens, Jessie Gardner,
Mary Juran, Nellie Sutten, Lula
Morgan, Katherine Hebner, Stan

Patten, Frances Minnich, Anna
Sneider, Anna Libertin, Joe VALID
ner. 1t is to be regretted very
much that unavoidable circum-
stances prevented several very ear
nest conscientious teachers from
earning a place in the above list.
1t is very encouraging to note
the large number of districts that
are beginning their schools earlier
than usual, and also, the increased
number that have heightened their
terms from one to two months. It
is a great advantage that the
schools be started early SO that the
small pupils may get a good start
before the older ones come in and
take up much of the teachers
time. The increase in length of
term is simply giving each child a
little more of what he is really en-
titled to.
In the institute work, Mrs. T.. s..
Cooper, head of the training de-
partment of the Springfield Nor
NAL, demonstrated her superior fit
ness for the position which she
holds. The class Of beginners
which she taught before the teach
ers made the best of progress, and
many of the teachers remarked that
they received many valuable sug-
gestions and ideas from that work.
The fact that during her class Pc
RODS there was rarely a vacant
seat in her class room, and that
almost every one Of the normal
students at the institute was a
member Of several Of her classes,
is proof Of the high esteem in which
her work is held.

been completely levolutionized by the
up-to-date appliances employed In
this new industry. Pearl farming.
as originated by the Mexican company
which owns the big Lower California

five years Of study and experiment 1t
was discovered that the shell loses

crop two years must elapse. as that
length OF time is required for the
