Those who have cared for school

are requested to meet at the high

| A very accurate school census of all
pupils between the ages of 6 and 16,
has just been completed by Mr.. John
Erickson. It will now be easy to de-
termine just who is out of school that
should be in school, The compul-
sorry school attendance law will be
rigidly enforced from the very begin
ming of school.
The description Of the agricultural
subjects to be pursued in connection
with the Industrial course was fur
nished by A. w. Hayes, who is taking
hold of the work with vim and a
purpose that should mean much to the
department.
At Spring Valley, Mimi, fourteen
schools have voted to associate with
the central school at Spring Valley in
order to get the advantages Of the in.
dustrial training offered therein.
During the coming year the War.
rem schools will offer courses in Man.
ual Training, Domestic Science, Sew.
! ing, Agriculture and Normal course
| is offered to those expecting to teach
In addition to these special courses
| the Latino English or the eGrman-Eng
lish courses are offered to those who
wish to prepare for higher institutions
of learning.
The law permits the Warren school
board to charge each pupil from with
out the district, $3.50 per month, if
/ such pupil takes the industrial work
offered in our schools. Such charge
however must be paid by the district
from which each pupil comes.
The privileges of the Warren
schools are absolutely free to the pu
| pills of those districts that may asso
ciate with Warren school district
Any district so associating receives
| $4,000 state aid over and above any
| ad that it may receive as rural
school.
! The school in such district would
continue as at present but the superin
/. tendent, agriculture teacher, and the
domestic science teacher would aiC
such school in planning such indus
! trial work as would be practicable
In many places in this state the ru
raj schools are asking for the priv
lege of associating with one of the
| Putnam schools.
The advantages to be gained by
such association are many but these
can best be discussed at some public
meeting where all interested are il
attendance.
(! The class of 1911 has presented tc
the schools a beautiful set of library
and Office chairs, eight in ALL These
are not only much needed but are
moreover much appreciated by the
school We wish, in behalf of the
school, to thank the splendid class
that made the gift to the school. We
would be glad to have many members
OF that class return to do post gradu
ate work in our schools, for we car
furnish plenty of profitable work fol
them to do.
The Industrial course herein out
lined is somewhat similar to those
followed in other, Putnam schools but
