court house on the Goth and 31st of
1 October. A large volume of business
was dispatched and the work for
the year nearly completed
| A considerable number of school
officers and patrons of the schools
were present seeking certain changes
or corrections in district boundaries.
| The petition to create a Joint Dis
trict between Flambeau and Hubbard
was granted, and Joint District No.
4, Flambeau and Hubbard ordered.
The district lies in the northeastern
part of Flambeau and the southeast
ern part of Hubbard A school meet
of George Toepfer in that district,
for Monday, November the 9th, at
ten O'Clock a. m. The school house
will be a temporary one this year.
A correction in district boundaries
was made in the town of Washing
ton, effecting districts Nos. 2, 3 and 5.
| A new school has been opened up
in the southern part of the town of
Grant, with Mrs. Althea Davis as
teacher. The Maple Center school
became so overcrowded that this pro-
vision was made necessary and a
residence was remodelled and renov-
ated for use the balance of this year.
| Next year a two or three-room school
building is contemplated for the
Maple Center vicinity.
| The Township Library books have
now all been received by the several
town clerks, and most of them have
| been delivered to the district clerks
| for their schools The teachers in
those schools where the books have
not as yet been received should see
| the clerk at once and ascertain the
cause of the delay. Teachers must at
tend to numbering and cataloging the
new books.
| We would call the attention of
| teachers to the law requiring them
to report delinquent pupils not later
than the 9th of each calendar month.
| The date is essential If a pupil has
been reported delinquent, and sub
sequently re-enters school intending
to attend regularly, the teacher is
then required to notify both the sher-
| if and the superintendent at once
Of the return.
We are to hold the annual School
| Boards Convention in the court
house Thursday, November the 10th,
| commencing at ten a. m. Clerks are
by law required to attend, and the
other officers may attend, and each
be paid from the school fund 81 and
mileage both ways. School Boards are
authorized to let their teachers at
tend and allow them the day.
| On Friday and Saturday following
the Convention will be held at the
County Training School Building,
commencing at nine a. M, a two
days Institute.
| We have secured two of the strong
est institute conductors in the state,
Professors w. H. Cheever and w. c..
Gillett, as announced recently. Every
| teacher in the county, including high
school teachers, should enroll the
first morning for the full session.
| School officers are expected to al
| low their teachers to attend both
days of the institute as Well as the
convention. 1t will be time we'll spent,
| and the school children will derive
indirectly the benefit 1t is a great
mistake for teacher or for a school
officer to fail to attend these profess
sional meetings, if they are seeking
the improvement of their schools.
Certificates of attendance will be is
sued teachers who attend both days
of the institute. Programs will be out
this week
The question of the teachers right
to keep a child in at recess Or after
discipline or for making up a neglect
ed lesson has several times been
asked. There is no doubt at all but
that teacher has the right to do
so, and should exercise it, with reas-
enable limitations. If detained at re-
cess, the pupil must be allowed to
leave the room at the close of the
intermission for few minutes.
Teachers have the authority to COM
pei, if necessary, a child to prepare
his lessons, as well as to recite them.
For the childs interest and welfare
parents should heartily cooperate
with the teacher in the matter CT
discipline and work, otherwise, the
school can do little for the children.
