The county board of education
meets on the 18th inst. at the
school house in Dist No. 6, Murry,
to consider the forming of a new
district in that township Meeting
called at $3.50 a. m.
The board will also meet on the
22nd inst. in the village Of Ingram
at $50 a. m. to hear arguments rel
ative to certain changes of district
boundaries in Lawrence, Hawkins
and True. A new modern rural
school house will be erected in the
Bell district, Flambeau, this sum-
mer; also, new building similar to
that one in the new district, Thorn
apple, No. II.
District clerks are by law required
to notify the superintendent prompt
ly after the annual meeting of the
names of school district officers for
the coming year. A goodly number
have already done this, and we shall
be glad if the rest will look after
this requirement promptly, as it will
obviate much extra correspondence
and delay.
If any clerk has not received
blanks for Teachers Retirement
fund, or the annual report, from this
office, please advise us and they
Wi h.
blanks were mailed about two weeks
ago, but some may have miscarried.
No charge is made for these blanks,
as they are now supplied by the
state. Teachers contracts may be
had of dealers in such supplies, ana
are carried in stock by our local
newspaper publishers.
All teachers who raised money
last year through school entertain
ments, and have not already rem
dered a full report to the school of
ficers or patrons of their schools,
should do so as a matter of justice
to the people who assisted in max
ing these functions successful.
A large number of districts have
already secured their teachers for
next year. We have a considerable
number of legally qualified teachers
yet who desire schools in the coun-
ty. School clerks may write or call
upon the superintendent and he will
assist you in securing the teacher
you need for your particular school.
Last year training school graduates
can not legally contract for school
until their certificate is extended. To
secure such, the holder should secure
written statement from two or
more members of their board last
year to the effect that their services
were at least fairly satisfactory. This
statement should be forwarded, to-
gether with the certificate, to this
office, which will later be returned.
Teachers who wrote at the recent
examinations will be advised Of the
results of same in a few days now,
and certificates forwarded as far as
successful.
The next regular examination will
be held about August 18th. All
grades will then be offered. The
supplementary examination for Di-
ploma students will be held at the
same time and places.
A large number of Rusk county
teachers are in attendance at the
various summer schools of the state,
which fact speaks we'll for our young
teachers as being anxious to better
prepare themselves professionally for
the work they are striving to do.
School officers are asking for the
progressive and ambitious teachers,
and are reluctant to employ the
class that appears to have FINISHED
all that is necessary" for teaching.
