Miss Alice West, teacher in the
Hunt school, town of Flambeau,
was unable to teach last week ow
| ing to a severe attack of quinsy,
but returned this week Monday.
Miss Lois Siglin, of Apollonia, class
of 1914, Training school, very salts
factorily substituted for Miss West
Miss Ruth Miller began her fall
term of school last Wednesday, the
18th, in the Shaw Dam school, This
is one of the new modern school
buildings erected this year. 1t has
furnace and full basement, which
proves a very great improvement
over the jacketed stove plant in
most of the rural schools.
The new district organized in Hub
bard & Thornapple will not begin
just at present, as building has to
be provided for temporarily. Miss
Mary Alvey will probably be appoint
ed teacher there when all is COM
completed.
! Good reports are coming in from
schools which have been giving so
cial center entertainments and pro-
grams
Miss Grace Graham of No. 10, Big
Bend, gave one such which netted
the school $500, and Miss Viva Boil
man of No. 2, Flambeau, the Bell
school, last Saturday evening gave
such an entertainment and cleared
$500. We are pleased to note the
substantial encouragement given the
pupils and teachers by patrons of the
schools The money is to be ex-
pended in purchasing needed mater
ial and pictures for the school. A
considerable number of other teach
ers are preparing similar doings for
Thanksgiving eve.
Mr.. D. E. Critchfield Of No. 2,
True, is unfortunate in not being
able to secure boarding place with
in walking distance of his school.
We hope some patron will open his
home for Mr.. Critchffeld for the
rest of the school term. He is
striving to give the district his best
services, and is certainly entitled
to accommodations.
We are gratified to learn that the
attendance in the county this fall
small number of delinquents are
SO far reported, however, it seems
that it will be necessary to proceed
against one parent in the Crane
school at once, unless regular at
tendance from now on is reported
by the teacher, in the case of two
boys there The penalty is very Sc
we're and it is to be hoped that it
may not be necessary to prosecute
anyone, but children have right to
secure an education, and the law
makes it compulsory on parents to
send their children.
The annual session of the school
officers held at the court house last
Thursday was decided success, and
we believe that much benefit will be
a result of the meeting, as nearly
every district was represented by
one or more officers, as well as by
the teacher We regret that the
villages east of Ladysmith were
among those not represented by a
member of the school board. The en-
rollment exceeded one hundred and
sixty, the largest in the history OF
Rusk county Although the weather
= was very severe, the members faced
the biting wind and were on time.
Thank you. If those not receiving
their certificate will advise this Of
flee, a certificate will be sent free.
In this convention we were ably
assisted by Inspector A. A. Thomp-
son, of Madison, Prin. r. H. Burns
and Rev. C. H. Sanders, of this city,
, and desire to extend to each gen
tleman my thanks for their hearty
assistance.
1t appears to be the opinion of our
teachers and others who attended
