County Superintendent of Schools
E. c.. Brick laid off from the examina-
ton of teachers, Tuesday, to visit
a few schools in Bloomington town.
There was a good reason for this
change of program, lnasmuch as
there was only one candidate for ex-
animation in Cuba City on Monday,
ard she was quickly di-poeed of.
Mr.. Brick hope. for a larger attend
ance at the Fennimore examination,
which opens today for two days,
and at Platteville, VIII ich is to be
held on Friday and Saturday. Next
week the examinations open at Bos-
cobel, for Monday and Tuesday, shift
to Lancaster for Wedne 'day and
Thursday, and close the week with
two performances at Bloomington.
And that naturally should end the
program, only that the teachers and
wouId-be teachers of the southwestern
section of the county will not have
been served. To accommodate them,
an examination will be held at Cass-
Vile on May "a and rs.
