BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS.
County superintendent P. NJ. Allison.

| would like Tor the teachers AMI
district clerks to read Sec. l0S99 o
the school law and see how well they
are complying with it. have no
been able to find but a very few tina
have given this any attention at all
One clerk has written a letter abou
this to a peace officer that he would
not have written had he known the
facts in the case.
The reports are coming in from the
first section of the reading circle and
! am pleased to say they are in most
cases very encouraging. All teachers
who are attending express themselves
as well pleased with the work and
some of our best teachers are most
enthusiastic over the work. A few,
however, stand aloof and by their
actions say they know all they care to
or that they can not get anything
from the work. | sincerely believe
we can all get something from the
work if it is nothing more than the
satisfaction that we have helped the
others.
The first school visited this week
was Black in Summit township. They
have an enrolment of 81 with 26
present on that day and it was a very
rainy day. This is one of our best
schools and the people take a good
interest in me work and keep their
building up in good condition. They
have a nine months term of school
and a fine working library for the
use of teacher and pupils. This is
