County School Notes.
BY supt. q. G. Fites.

BY Supt. q. G. Elites.
Somewhere in this land of ours,
future president of the Uuited
States is getting his first lessons in
Democracy this week. Who can
tell but that he is attending one OF
our own Bon Homme county
schools' The opportunity lies be-
fore him, and happy indeed is that
teacher who succeeds in inducing
him with the needed inspiration. =
The county library books are
now ready for the first forty six
rural schools. The remaining
districts will be supplied just as
soon as possible. 1t is hoped that
the teachers and school officers
will assist in getting these books
delivered to the various schools in
the county at the earliest date that
is convenient.
Teachers should see to it that
their certificates are indorsed in
this county for the current year.
Why not attend to it, before be-
ing asked by the county superin-
tendent.
Several teachers have called at
the Office during the past week and
secured the new blanks that are
required this year in connection
with their work. We are always
glad to have the teachers call at
ofice,, and especially so in the case
of young and inexperienced teach.
erS.
A great many calls have been
upon this Office for new courses of
study this year. We feel that
some of our teachers last year
were careless or, negligent in this
particular. The course of study
is the property of the school. and
should be left in care of the dist
riot clerk at the close of the school
year. 1t is the clerks duty to see
that all school property is left in
his care at the end of the year,
and he should attend to this matter
before making final settlement
with the teacher.
Preparedness" is q popular
term heard in almost every line of
work at the present time. No
where, is this term more apple
able than in the teaching profess
SION Candidates for teaching
positions should know that they
cannot hope to succeed, If they
are to wait until the last moment
before attempting to qualify. The
writer maintains that the really
successful teacher plans her cam
paign weeks and even months be-
fore the opening day of her
school.
AT this season of the year, it is a
good policy for teachers to consult
the statements found upon the
backs of their certificates whose
rank is below that of the regular
five year state, of provisional
state, is prohibited by law.
