Blanks for reports pertaining to
school or census are supposed to be
now in the hands of the Clerks; if
not, they may be had of the Town
Clerks. Much care is needed in fill
ing these reports this year as sever
al changes are made. The teachers
report must be correct to enable the
clerk to compile his report correctly.

!r the Statement of Assessment

several school treasurers have mis-
understood in one respect. The re-
port of all teachers employed during
the last year, whether they come
under the law for assessment or not,

The annual school meeting in east
ern Flambeau was, in a certain re
Spect, irregular in regard to the cleo
ton of officers. This makes it nee
essary for the town clerk to ap
point district officers to serve unit
the next annual school meeting. The
appointment of school officers will
be made next week, so we are in
formed.
