Vernon County Teachers Training
School began its seventh year on Mon
day, with an enrolment of 81 students.
AS has been the case each year since
the flrst, many applications for places
IN the school had to be refused because of
lack Of accommodations. There is a
change IN the teaching fierce this year,
Miss Grace Dinsdale of Montfort TAX
ing the place held by Mrs. Ella Wilson
Kelly Tor the past six years. Miss
Dlnsdale is strong teacher with good
preparation and experience and is not
stranger in the school, having filled a
vacancy here for six weeks last year
and having taught through one summer
session.
Work for the year will remain prac-
tically unchanged. Rural Economics
will be added TO the course Of study in
concordance with a recent law, other
wise the old course of study will be fol-
lowed. tits hoped that the school will
be able to add good Babcock milk and
cream testing outfit to it's equipment to
assist in teaching Vernon county's best
industry.

One of the laws passed by the last
legislature which will effect Vernon
county's educational affairs and submit
a problem to our board of supervisors
is the new Teachers Certihcation" law
| which provides that after January l,
1915, no person shall begin teaching pn-
less he has done at least two years
work above the eighth grade, or ifs
equivalent. and one of these years
must have been in a professional school
for teachers The effect OF this law
upon our county training school is d.
rect. In order to meet its requirement
provision must be made at once for all
beginning teachers to enroll for at
least one year. As there are annually
about 65 people in Vernon county en-
taring the professioG, and as the train
ing school course is a two years course,
che smallest number possible to plan
for is about 100 students to provide
this county with teachers. 1t is there
fore an immediate problem for the
county to provide a building and equip
ment for school of this size as Janu-
airy !, 1915, is but one year distant
