J We respectfully urge upon teacher
to press this spelling contest worl
earnestly this spring, encouraging pu
pills to make all they can of this
splendid opportunity to improve
themselves in their spelling. Pupils
can be interested in this as in any
other work, if the teacher manifest
the right attitude toward the mat
ter, and parents have the right tC
expect their teacher to keep in line
with other schools of the county an6
state in whatever will benefit the
school children.
Reports of social center work have
been received from Miss Ella Cords
No 4, Grant, Miss Viva Bollman, No
Flambeau, and Miss Pearl Will
/ by, No. 5 Marshall. The commune
i ties are becoming much interested
in these movements, and good is re-
sulting thereby.
i The Teachers Associations held
on the goth and 9th of January at
Bruce and Glen Flora were both well
attended and proved to be, as usual,
very helpful sessions. At Bruce Their
were about IS in attendance, and at
Glen Flora about SIS. At the lat
ter place nearly all teachers who
could attend were present, but we
missed teachers from No. 2 Dewey,
No. 1, 2 and in Grant, three teach
ers in Flambeau, two in Grow, and
| one in True.
/ Teachers who presented topics at
! Glen Flora were Prin Bruce Clarke,
Prin Miss Kuehlthau, w. M. Best.
Excellent class exercise was pre-
scented by Miss Helga Hanson. The
topic Language Methods" was well
handled by Miss Ida Anderson.
Miss Leila V. Parfrey of the Train
ing School in forceful manner
spoke of Value of Vocal Music in
| Schools.
Upper Form History was presented
by Miss Jennie Stevenson, which was
ably discussed by Prin. w. M. Best
Of Hawkins.
Miss Kuehlthau's talk on Map
Drawing as an aid to Geography and
History was interesting as well as
very helpful.
''The Attitude of the Teacher" was
to have been treated by DR.. H. c..
Johnson, but he was unable to be
present. Supt. R. M. Lewis, who
was on for discussion of the topic,
responded to call and gave the asso-
citation some good suggestions, and in
| his entertaining way.
Good vocal music was furnished by
pupils of the graded school.
This year the Glen Flora schools
are making a very creditable start
in sewing. A fine exhibit of their
work was shown in one of the rooms,
the work being chiefly under the di-
rection of Miss Ida Anderson. Next
year manual training and domestic
science will receive further atten-
ton in Glen Flora schools.
Prin. E. c. Krienke, of Hawkins
Ihighschool was with us, but as his
train left before his topic was
1 reached, we were deprived of the
pleasure of listening to his discussion.
4 Prof. Burns was unable to accom-
pany us that day because of the late
ness of the morning train Principal
/ Steinfeldt's absence was due to a
call from town.
a A goodly number of the parents in
the village were present during part
4 of the session. The teachers wish
to acknowledge their appreciation OF
the very appetizing dinner served by
the Ladies' Aid society. Our thanks
are due especially to Mr.. Marshall,
of Bruce and Mr. Clarke, of Glen
Flora for their valuable assistance.
A meeting of the Graded nd High
school teachers assisted by those
from rural schools will be held at
the highschool building in Ladysmith
March 18th, commencing at 10 O'Clock
1t is expected that especially those
who were unable to attend the other
sessions will be in attendance at this
last meeting of Rusk county teach
ers this spring.
