SCHOOL NOTES.
By Supt. NOtson.

State Superintendent Churchill has
just published small pamDhlet con-
tanning suggestions for parent-teacher
associations. This pamphlet will be
ready for distribution within few
days. The work Of the parent-teacher
associations throughout the State has
proven of great value. The State
University and the U. S. Bureau of
Education are both cooperating with
the State Superintendent in developing
the work of the associations thIougoIt
the State.
Teahers will soon receive from the
Agricultural College the premium
lists for the State industrial contests.
At the conference of the secretaries of
the fair boards and the county super
intendents, held in Salem Jan. 2.
many plans for making the local con-
tests more valuable were discussed.
1t ia likely that another conference
will be held in March to perfect the
plans. In the meantime It is hoped
that teachers, parents and pupils will
begin to plan for the work. 1t is
time to begin planning for the raising
of vegetables, corn and other products.
Some Of the woodwork features might
be worked out during the winter. 1t
was suggested at the conference that
thera should be contests in other lines
as we'll as in the industrial lines.
Some of these may be in debating,
spelling. arithmetic and defamation.
AS many schools have only six months
work it will be necessarv that the
teachers of these schools en- courage
their pupils to 20 ahead with the
work after school closes. In order to
aid in this it will be advisable that
the industrial clubs be oganized. The
bulletin which the o. a. @. will send
out will contain the plans for organ
izing these clubs. There should be
such club in every rural district.
We can scarcely estimate the value of
this line of work hence it is to be
hoped that every school will undertake
it.
Several schools in the county have
recently purchased the New lnterna-
tionaI Dictionary. This is a good in
vestment. The small dictionaries are
valuable for spelling, syllabication,
and pronunciation but as Dr. O'Shea
points out they are not so valuable
for defuitions. The definitions and
