Most Of the 81 rural schools in Au-
drain county will begin the Fall term
August 81, according to w. Clyde
johnson, County Superintendent.
Some of them, however. will not be-
gin till September 8, he said. All but
three Of the districts have already
chosen teachers. Two schools viii
not open this Fall. The Fennewald
school, north of Martinsburg, will be
closed because all except n or two
children in that district will attend
Parochial school. The Bear Slough
district was recently consolidated
with the Farber district.
The new school building in the
Sneed district seven miles north Of
Mexico, will be ready for the begin
ming Of school. 1t will be modern
in every respect, having an unilateral
lighting system, and modern heating
plant. The building cost $1,000. The
school at Moline is the only one in the
county to be screened against inva-
sion by flies. Repairs have recently
been made on the Excelsior school.
One teacher, Miss Beulah Patrick,
of the Skull Lick District, has already
moved into the district. She thinks
it a good idea to be there a week be-
fore school begins in order to get ac-
qusinted with pupils and patrons.
