ing in Ladysmith the two days fol
lowing, or October % and %.
AS the law now authorizes school
officers to close their school and per
nit teachers to attend both conyen-
ton and institute, it is recommend
ed that they do this, and all three
officers with teacher attend the
convention.
Further announcements will be
made later.
With the exception Of four new
schools not quite ready, all schools
of the county are now in session,
and a successful years work is pre-
dicted. About one-fourth of the num-
Der of teachers are new with us
this year, but all seem determined
to do their best in their several
schools
Teachers in need OF perfect attend
ance certificates can secure them at
the institute, or earlier, if desired.
A supply for the year has been or
dered and will be on hand i'll few
days. They cost Is cents for a book
of fifty.
Those teachers who are teaching
their second year in the same dis
trict may, if work is Of a high or
of ,0I,i+ md hn q Mt soft
isfactory receive from the state at
the end Of the year an additional 81
per month; if retained for third
year, 81, and for each additional year
in the same district So per month.
We shall have a considerable mum
Der of teachers who will be entitled
to this special aid, We expect. Bet
ter remuneration, although it has
been long deferred, is now coming
to capable and earnest teachers in
rural schools.
Further information of special in
terest will be given at the insti
tute and convention, for the 115
teachers OF the county.
The School Flag
A few teachers yet report that no
provision for properly displaying the
flag has been made by the school
board AS the law is mandatory in
this matter, we hope that the stars
and stripes are to wave proudly over
every public and private school in
our great state. Teachers may Ell
courage the early raising Of the flag
for their schools Teach the flag
salute; have patriotic exercises occa-
sionally, and SO inculcate a proper
esteem and respect for our national
emblem.
Our Schools at the County Fair
The educational exhibit made by
some of the teachers and pupils was
very creditable indeed, and many
compliments were heard for the dis
play made.
But for the fact that the fair was
little early for some schools, more
work would have been sent in.
Teachers should have a copy of the
new premium list and begin early
to prepare for next year. There. are
many articles that children could
furnish and SO increase the value Of
the department. This rests almost
entirely with the teachers to arouse
interest, and for that reason we shall
look to every teacher to help the
exhibit in at least one article next
fall That is another way that
teachers may make their services
more desirable and lead to their
being retained two Or more years,
and also to bring about more easily
and promptly their advancement in
school positions.
The following named pupils took
premiums: Martha Cole, Chrystella
Keith, Arthur Nelson, 4; Charles
Cox, Joseph Mehle, 2; Linda Dietze,
3; Allen Plummer, Teddy Jaskot, 2;
Leland Hayden, Vera Hunt Melinda
Baker, Annie Berger, Ernest Rich
ardson Beatrice Sibley, Hazel Car
man, Lucy LIE Blanc, Arthur Novot
ne, Marian Moon, Stella MCGOWAN

mention for good exhibits submitted:

on Carter, Harold Baker, Ernest

Owing to the backward season no
corn was fit for exhibit at the fair
by the boys and girls, who were in
the corn contest We hope to have
them try again next year. Thank you
