goes to the graded school in district
No. 8, Murry, Miss Conway being

signed and her place is taken by
Miss Lucille Perrigo, of Oshkosh,
graduate of the Normal school of
that city
! Miss Edna Bennett goes to the

Programs will soon be out for the
teachers associations to be held one
at Ingram, Saturday the oath of Jan
uary, and one at Bruce, the last
Saturday in January. A meeting of
the Central Division teachers, which
includes the several high and graded
schools, will be held at the high
school building during the month of
February, announcements of which
will be made shortly. These associa-
tions heretofore have proven very
helpful for all who participated in
them, and We are confident that
Rusk county teachers will be glad to
avail themselves of these opportuni-
ties for professional culture and for
exchanging with one another their
best ideas of school management and
work.
Reports have reached us that spec
ial Christmas programs were given
in many of the schools of the coun-
ty, and all were regarded as ex-
ceptionally successful and entertain
ing. Those directly reported are
Bruce high school and grades, Lady
smith city schools, Hawkins, Ingram,
Tony, Glen Flora, Sheldon, and
schools taught by Grover Feist, Avis
Nichols, Maude Daley, Hazel Hen
erickson, Vernia Schweiger, Margaret
Stevens, Bessie Robson, Grace Wood
bury, Veva Nichols, Mrs. Eleanor B.
Arnold, Jessi Sergeant, Lula Lowell
Mrs. w. S. Kutt, Ruth A. Cliff, Nola
Churchill, Theresa Diederich and
John Frenchick. 1t is very probable |
that other teachers held similar ex-
ercises, but have not at this time
reported. ~
School laws of interest at this |
time:
All teachers who did not teach in
Wisconsin during the winter and
spring of 1911 are required to con-
tribute one per cent of each months
salary to the Teachers Insurance and
Retirement Fund Clerks should with
hold this each pay day, or the Board
becomes personally responsible for
the tax
Janitor services-Unless specified
in the contract otherwise, the dis
trict can be compelled to pay for
such services
Special State Aid for consolidating
two or more districts:
If two or more rural districts con-
sOlidate and erect new building
and maintain a first class rural
school for nine months, special state
aid to the amount of one-half the
cost of the building, not exceeding
$500, may be received.
If state graded school is thus
created, the state aid may be not
to exceed $500
Correspondence concerning this
matter is solicited from school Off
GERS, as we should be glad to- have
some districts at least take advan- |
tage of this provision.)
Additional Salary for first grade |
and Normal graduate teachers:
A rural school teacher holding a |
first grade certificate, and having |
had at least one year of successful |
experience in teaching, may by |
teaching in a first class rural school, |
and whose work shall be approved |
by the county superintendent and |
state rural school inspector, receive |
in addition to her regular salary, |
five dollars per month; a normal |
graduate under similar conditions !
may receive ten dollars extra per |
month.
This should be an incentive for |
Rusk county teachers to prepare
themselves for promotion and better
compensation. Regular and system
attic home study will enable some of
the stronger teachers to do this
without much expense to themselves.
All teachers are expected to send |
