Training School Building and Ground
Owing to limited means, but few
improvements could be made; how
ever, the school board did what
they deemed actually necessary. Con-
nection with City sewer, system was
made, the lawn improved, and few
trees planted The main entrance
doorway was housed to exclude the
cold north winds; storm sash FOR a
part OF the windows are now being
put on, which are needed improve
ment. A fuel house is needed, and we
hope to have it built soon.
The interior walls remain incom-
plete, and poor workmanship in put
ting up the building left the windows
in such condition that the rains
beat in and injure the walls, and
they should be properly finished for
the general appearance OF the rooms.
The Annual County Board Conven-
ton was held at the Court House the
latter part of August. Nearly every
school district was represented by
one or more members OF the board.
State Library Clerk, o. S. Rice,
assisted us in the work Of the pro
gram. Attorney j. w. Carow address
sed the convention ON questions per
| tanning to the legal authority and the
duties of school officers. These an
nual meetings are proving to be very
helpful to all concerned, and a great,
err uniformity of procedure by schoi
boards is resulting in the betterment
Of the schools Of the County.
Miscellaneous
The several voluminous reports to
the State superintendent, Directors
Of the Teachers Insurance and Re-
tirement Fund, the County Clerk and
County Treasurer, and different State
institutions have all been made asre-
CURED by law.
The township library books for
1928 have all been ordered and
are now in use by the schools, and
several districts have received con-
signments of books from the Travel
ing Library committee Of Madison,
the only expense to the district be-
ing the transportation charges.
Your County Superintendent attend
ed the state convention Of super'n-
tendents held at Marinette in July
last. Also, the North West Wiscon-
sin Teachers Association at Eau
Claire in October.
l have found in a few instances
that some first class rural schools
have not received the necessary at
tention by the board members after
the last installment of the special
4 aid was allow d, that they did re-
ceiye during the time special aid
was being received.
This is unquestionably mistake,
as the purpose Of the law wos to
provide rural schools with these per-
manent improvements, and that they
be kept in good order.
The health of our children requires
that the ventilation system be kept
in perfect working order, and that
sanitary conditions be insisted upon
at all times.
