A new section to the city switch
board in being installed this week to
meet the constantly growing demand
for service.
There is also to go into commission
very soon separate switchboard for
the handling of long distance messages
only. 1t is expected this will add
materially to the efficiency of the ser
vice by relieving the city board and
operators of all long distance calls
during the busy hours of the day.
Arrangements are also under way for
the collection of monthly rentals,
central and toll fees at Central" after
April 1st, thus relieving the Secretary S
Office of the details of this work.
The city exchange is now supplying
service to over 800 telephones under
direct connection, and thousands by
long distance system.
No house is fully equipped in this
day and age without a telephone. If
you haven't one, let us install one for
you. r. j. PENHALLEGoN, Jr.,

Merit System in Iowa County
Schools.

For the past two years Superintendent
J. A. Van Malta of Iowa County has
had in operation plan for securing
regularity of school attendance which
seems to produce good results AS is
well known, irregularity of attendance
to effective work in rural schools.
Superintendent Van Malta explains his
plan as follows;
ITO every child having 20 consecu-
tive days of perfect attendance good
work and good department we issue a
small certificate. When the child has
small ones, he is to write the county
superintendent a letter and enclose the
small certificates, and large certificate
of award will be issued. A record is
made in the office in a card index system
and each card shows the number and
date of large certificates. When the
child has 10 more, or a total of fifteen,
he receives a diploma of honor with
his name lettered in old English.
This means great deal of work
but we are repaid, as over $4,000 small
certificate have been issued by teachers
and out Of this number 700 large GER
tificates were issued, AS we have been
operating this system two years, we
have only issued about % diplomas of
honor
Teachers who have been encouraging
this system are ready to recommend its
continuance and given $50 each year
year for it's support
