Emmons County record., 1917-11-15
Notes From County
Superintendent

immigration inspector and chief of the
local division of the government bu-
reau of employment. Thirty-five per
cent of the country's teachers either
have enlisted or been drafted since
July LIST. 1t has been found almost
impossible, he declared, to get teachers
for the rural schools. In this county
ten schools have not been opened as
we can not get teachers to accept our
schools.
At the teachers examinations held
at the court house Nov. S-9th forty
one teachers appeared for examina-
tions. $4,000 has been collected dur
ing the last quarter for permits, re-
newals and examination fees, of
which $37 was turned over to the state
department, and $57 turned over to
the county treasurer for the institute
fund. After paying all the institute
expenses we now have $579. 80 in the
Institute Fund. The following wrote
on examinations: Minnie Uhlencott,
Anna Luckeroth, Elenore Uhlencott,

No recent development of Red Cross
activity has created more interest thar
the proposal to establish Junior Aux.
iliaries, that is Junior Red Cross work
A circular, relating to the suggested
activities of the Auxiiaries, is ir
preparation and will be sent out al
soon as new instructions just received
from France en- be adopted and incor
porated.
The School Auxiliary plan involves
the complete cooperation of the Chap
ter and the School Authorities, ant
this should be assured before any
thing is done. A Chaper School Com
mittee, consisting of three to five peo
pie familiar with school organization
should then be appointed by the Ex
ecutive committee. A treasurer TO
the Chapter School Fund, preferabl!
the chapter treasurer, should also b.
designated.
The Chapter School Committe
may then, with the consent of tn
principal, proceed to the organization
of School Auxiliaries, reporting O.
them to the Division Office.
When any school has paid into tn
Chapter School Fund an amount o
money equivalent to a contribution o
twenty-five cents per pupil, the treas
, urer should issue certificate whic
{. entities the school to be known as
School Auxiliary and to display
special Red Cross Banner bearing tn
name Of the school. The pupils in tn
school now become Junior members @
the Red Cross and are entitled to wea
the regular membership button. Th
principal, or his deputy, should b
E Chairman of the Auxiliary.
In the Northern Division it is yer
strongly recommended that no singl
class or grade be permitted to orgar
ize as an auxiliary and that no au,
iliary be formed on the basis q
4 money or service pledged. Teacher
e in the school do not acquire member

h organization of the school as an au,
: iliary Junior membership is grant
e ed for the school year.
The Chapter School Fund may b
increased by money aerned by the pt
pills, either Individually or as an au,
iiary, but not by a campaign for sui
> scriptions which would interfere wit
the plans of the Chapter for raisin
