BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS

AND TEACHERS
By sups Pm. Allison
The School Board Convention will
be held in Butler, August 10th, be-
ginning at 8 o'clock in the morning.
This will be the second convention
and is promising to be the best both
in attendance and interest we have
ever held. Teachers will find that
this will interest them as one Of the
talks given by Mr.. Gass, of Jefferson
City, will be the 'Co-operation of the
Teacher and the School Board" This
talk will be given at II o'clock in the
morning. L am sure teachers should
hear this as they will have as much
part in this as the school board.
Teachers examination will be held
in Butler, August and 8. The order
of subjects will be as before. Teach
ers who have taken subjects at prev
ious examination can take any or all
of them again and keep the highest
grades. This gives a splendid op-
portunity to raise grades.
The Plan Meeting will be held on
August 81 and September and 2.
This is longer before the opening of
school than usual but this is necessary
in order that we may not be in con-
flict with other meetings in the coun-
ty. We want it so arranged that we
may have a full attendance of teach
ers as we feel that we are going to
have the best program we have ever
had.
Most schools have their teachers
for next year and now is the time to
see about getting things in readiness
for school. Many school yards need
cleaning, the buildings need repairs
and some are in need of new furni-
ture. All these can be looked after
as we'll before school opens as after
and the teacher and pupils can do
better work when all is in readiness
for work.

was called upon for a speech and he
told them about our good roads, our
culvert system and the farm bureau
work. johnson county has the rep
utation of having the least dirt roads
in this section Of the state and is also
looked upon as a leader in farm pro-
gress and rural life improvement.

Judge gave the Bates county folks
some interesting facts to consider
