Out of the sixteen schools visited
this week eight have teachers thStarS-
teaching their first term. These
eight with one exception was found
with course of study on their desk
trying to organize and classify their
schools in accordance with thatcourse,
They are all starting out well. and we
predict success for each of them, OF
the sixteen only four teachers are
teaching the same school the second
time not, because they had failed 10
give satisfaction but rather. because
they are trying to secure better posi-
tons.
The first school visited was Brack-
ney, in Lone Oak township They
have an enrolment of . the first day
and, of course, no tardy marks This
school won the library in the contest
last winter. II consists of one hun
dred volumes most of which are very
good books, but not well suited for a
rural school. They have a good case
and are taking good care of them.
Miss Clellah Grant is teacher and
opened her school by making very
encouraging talk to the pupils,
Orchard Grove, in Pleasant Gap
township, opened with p ON roll IL il
was raining. This school has very
good and a disable library. but they
have not taken very good care Of il,
especially so far as keeping the mice
away from it. They are going to re.
pair the house here and not leave the
pupils and teacher to get along as
best they can. Miss Hazel Titus is
teacher and is going to succeed, Il an
untiring effort will bring success,
This is her first school, and she is
going to take an active part in the
reading circle work in order that she
may secure every assistance avail
able, and we are quite sure she vii
be better teacher by doing 81,
