CRIMMS LIME KILNS BURN.

Fire WAS discovered Sunday afternoon
about 80 o'clock in the lime kiln sheds
of the Union Lime works at Grimms
and before it could be gotten under con
troll the kiln sheds, two houses, 5000
cords of wood aud several box cars were
destroyed by the flames. The origin of
the fire is mystery. The wind was
blowing gale when the fire was dis
covered Sunday and for time the vii
lage of Grimms which is located but a
short distance from the site of the kilns,
was in serious danger. Aid was secured
from Reedsville, Cato and Collins and a
telephone message was sent to Mayor
Groffmann asking that an engine and
1000 feet of hose be sent out, but in view
of the gale which was blowing and OF
the danger of fire here under such con-
ditions, the request was not granted.
The kilrs at Grimms are operated by
company located at Oshkosh. The
loss of Sunday will total close to $4,000.
Reports say that rebuilding operations
will be begun at once and the plant will
be ready for operation within compara'
lively short time.

EDUCATIONAL.

THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT IN
INDIANA.
As stated in former article all the
school affairs of township are in the
hands of the township trustee. There
are as many of these in county as there
are townships. These trustees together
constitute what is known as the county
board of education.
The principal duty of this board is to
elect the county superintendent. He is
elected by this board for term of four
years.
1t will be seen then that regarding the
terms of the state and county superin'
tendent Indiana and Wisconsin are un'
like. In onr state the state superinten'
dent is elected for four years and the
county superintendent for two; in Indi'
ana the state superintendent is elected
for two years and the county superin
tendent for four years.
AhS S"idiJ Va ~ Spuuty
in Indiana is $3.50 per day, which a.
mounts to about $1400 year. He has
additional allowances for printing, sta
tionery, postage, etc.
The duties of county superintendent
are similar to the duties in our state.
He holds a teachers examination the
last Saturday in every month the fret
eight months of the year. The questions
are prepared by the state board of edsca
ton and are therefore uniform through
out the entire state. They have third,
second and frst grade certificates. A
special article on the certification of
teachers will be written later.
The county superintendent visits the
schools, holds teachers Institutes and is,
in general, the educational head of the
county.
