also apparatus, etc, may be pur-
chased only upon the approval of

Teachers would do we'll to place
no orders for cyclopedias, or books
from such parties. Several teachers
have had very unpleasant exper-
fences thus the present year, The

advise teachers or school officers in
regard to these goods, if requested.
The Township Library Books are

The new two-room brick school
building in No. 2, washington, is
rapidly nearing completion. The
brick work was finished last week,
and the finishing work is being hur-
ried along.
Only one room will be opened this

year or two at the farthest, both
rooms will be needed.

erection are: One in No. Flam-
beau; one in No. /, hurry; one in

Hazel Tosland and Leo Austin have
secured schools in North Dakota;
Violet Bien goes to Chippewa coun-
ty to teach.
We have several promising young
men teachers who wish to secure
schools, and parties in need of teach
ers may address the superintendent
who will assist them in securing
teachers.
To avoid misunderstanding at the
close of the school year, clerks
should ascertain with certainty at
the opening of the fall term whether
their teachers are required to con-
tribute to the teachers insurance
fund, and if so, deduct monthly the
one or two per cent as required,
giving the teacher a receipt there
for. Teachers should carefully pre-
serve these receipts, as they may
be greatly needed later in life,
At the opening of the first term,
teachers should ascertain whether any
have been, or can be pre-
pared for the county fair, and get
it ready promptly and forward to this
office, labeled and marked according
to directions that will be given soon.
All schools must be provided with
a flag and arrange so that it can
be displayed on the school building
or on a pole in the yard. such
flag may be had of the Eau Claire

ing at 1925; or of the Northwestern
Supply Company, Minneapolis, Mimi,
same size and quality for 1912. The
flag must be hoisted and kept up
each school day, unless the weather
is bad or wind high
School officers will, of course, see
that a supply of sweeping compound,
drinking conveniences, n i ry
goods, etc, are on hand at the
opening of the term. Sweeping
compound may be had of the Eau
Claire Book & Stationery Company
at Eau Claire, Wis, 1926 per hun
