THE COUNTY BOARD OF EDU.

THE COUNTY BOARD OF EDU-
CATION will hold their next regular
meeting at the office of the County
Superintendent Friday, February 5.
AS this Board was appointed at the
County meeting of board members as
a committee on text books, the board
probably will take up the matter of
uniform text books at this meeting
and be ready to report to county
meeting to be called sometime in Feb
ruary or March.
THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED
at the same time to investigate the
heating and ventilating will undoubt-
edly also have their report to present.
There is no doubt that the heating and
be made equal to that of the best city
schools at a small expense.
THE TEACHERS OF THE COUN-
TY will be interested in a ruling
which the county board of examiners
made at their last meeting in refer
ence to taking the examination be-
fore the Normal training.
Teachers who have not had six
weeks training in an accredited Nor
NAL School or College are the ones
affected by this ruling. Such teach
|lers may take the written examina-
tion in April and May, receiving their
grades, and then after presenting a
certificate of Normal School work in
August if satisfactory will be given
their certificate. This will enable the
teachers to present their written Gre
dentials to boards OF education when
| they hire teachers in June.
A part of the examination must be
test in actual teaching. This can
be made either by the Summer Nor
NAL director, by the district superin-
tendent, or by the county superintend-
ent. Teachers who must take the
examination but who have the Nor
NAL school credits must also take the
test in actual teaching. Such applic-
ants must notify the county superin-
tendent on or before the first of
March of their intention to take the
examination.

found in Clinton township. In this
school the pupils have store at which
they sell all the school supplies need.

consists of three shelves in the rear OF
the room. Here the supplies are kept
and the box in which the cash is stor.
ed. When the county superintendent
asked one of the pupils how they
locked up their store the reply was
"We don't need to lock up our store
we're not robbers out here" The
teacher stated that a careful account
of all supplies bought and sold is kept
and that an inventory of the goods
on the shelves and the cash in the
money box showed that not an ar.
ticle was missing so far, and not 6
penny had been taken from the cash
| box.
These boys and girls are getting in.
formation in geography, reading
writing and all the other common
branches, but the lesson Of honesty
and citizenship which they are imbib
ing through their store will make {
greater impression on their charac
ter and on their lives than mere &C
ademic knowledge.
