$1,70O. They are all one room. frame
structures, built according to all mod
ern requirements for rural schools.
The first has a unique feature seldom
found in country buildings, a steel
ceiling. There will be facilities for
handling either domestic science or
manual training placed In all the
schools within short time. The num-
Der of available rural teachers is
about limited, now, to the number OF
schools in the county. A goodly num-
Der of supply instructors was on
hand in the fall but they have either
secured places elsewhere or are In
other work now.
One feature Of rural school work
which has been instituted since Mr..
Gardner came into Office is the study
centers which are held in every coun-
ty throughout the state three times
during the year. The first one for
Wapelo county was held October %,
when e. L. Palmer and |. H. Hart
talked on didactics and agriculture.
The nextjone is scheduled for January
% when domestic science and reading
will be discussed by Isabelle Osborne
and John Barnes. The final one will
be on March 25 when Allison Aitchi-
son and Grace Raft will talk on geog-
raphy and language. All of these
instructors are sent out by the state
normal school at Cedar Falls and the
work is done under an enactment of
the last legislature. The Wapello
County Rural Teachers Reading circle
meets on the second Saturday of each
month and the Rural Teachers club
meets FIVE times a year. Most of the
teachers belong to one or both OF
.pnese organizations.

ment in the system Of courts for Wap-
clio county that will be welcomed by
attorneys. clients and jurists
During seven weeks of this year
there will be two regular divisions of

have been various occasions on which
two judges would be holding court for
a day or two at time but it is only
at this time that the jurists of the
second judicial district have arranged
such a schedule and it was done for
the primary purpose Of clearing up the
already badly crowded dockets.
The new schedule as it will affect
