February 18th Miss Sarah Martin
of the Beldenville school came over
with her pupils for a spelling and
arithmetic contest with the pupils in
No. 3. Many patrons of both schools
were present and enjoyed the match.
First honors in spelling were won by
Clyde Starr of the Beldenville school,
and Murrilla Trott, of No. 8, took
first place in the arithmetic test,
thus evenly sharing honors with both
schools.
We hope through the assistance o.
the teachers in the rural and second
class graded schools to hold a coun-
ly summer The State Fair manage
ment offers to the winner in each
county free transportation to and
from Milwaukee and free entertain
ment two days at the state fair next

distributed from this office and
Teachers not supplied with a list

The corn and oats contest begun
last year will be continued on lar
ger scale next fall. Golden Glow corn
will be used, and so far as possible,
white pedigree oats. Special cash
winner of first premium on corn will
be given a ten days course free at
the university next January. Con-
testants must be in regular attend
ance at school in Rusk county this

The Central Division of the Rusk
County teachers held very success
full meeting at the high school build
ing in Ladysmith on the 21st. The
program with two exceptions was
carried out as published. The two
numbers in vocal music were appre-
ciated, and enjoyed.
Mr.. w. H. Hunt, graded school in
teresting talks on Methods in Geog-
raphy and Pedagogical Mistakes, the
last named being a discussion OF
Principal R. H. Burns topic Mr..
Burns in a forceful manner laid en-
phasis upon some of the common mis-
takes made by teachers, and indicat-
ed how they may be avoided.
Lively and helpful papers were pre-
sented and discussed by Principals Fl
E. Marshall, of Bruce; E. j. Adams,
of Weyerhaeuser; and Paul Schanen,
of Glen Flora schools.
The various topics were well dis
cussed by many of the teachers and
we believe that much good was ac-
complished by all present.
With the exception of a very few
of our teachers in the vicinity of
Ladysmitb, who were expected to at
tend this meeting, all were enrolled
and assisted in this movement for bet,
ter teaching. Three good meetings
have been held this winter, and a
few teachers have allowed all to pass
by without attending either meeting
Ones real interest in a business or
profession may be fairly estimated by
the efforts put forth for advancement
in that business.
