especially, and We are expecting {
large attendance and a very profit
able meeting.
The way-freight leaves Ladysmitl
about $50 to 900 a. M, returning
about 400 p. m. This makes it very
convenient for teachers in the vicin

at Bruce. President Grover C. Feist
Of the Island Lake school is getting
out a strong program for the meet

important to School Officers
New laws; Compensation to school
offic ers-In rural districts not includ-
ing a village or city, and maintaining
one room schools only, and where
,le school census is 100 or less, $40
for each school, provided the school
houses are at least one and one-half
niles apart by highway. In districts
as above and the census is between
100 and 200, clerk is allowed 500
fer first school and $40 for each of
mil apart If census gives 200 or
mole names, $50 for first and $40
foc each of the Others The director
and treasurer may by vote of dis
trict receive not to exceed $40
each. The clerks annual report must
however, be filed and accepted by
the county superintendent not later
than July 25, to entitle him to this
compensation. The clerk must first
receive from county superintendent
a receipt showing that his report is
accepted on time.
State Aid for Consolidation
If two or more districts unite and
maintain a one-room school, one-half
the cost of new building, not to ex-
ceed $500, is allowed.
A graded school of two rooms thus
of $500. If a three room building is
built, $4,000. If three or more dis
tricts unite and maintain a four
room building, $4,000 If all the dis
tricts in a town unite and form a
high school with grades below not
to exceed $4,000 will be paid by the
state to erect a new building.
We believe that several of the dis
tricts and some of the towns in .Rusk
county are in a position to take ad-
vantage of these new provisions, and
the superintendent will be glad to
assist school officers and others to
do so.
