| Owing to unfinished repairs, sew
eral schools are not ready to COM
lmence work This is a misfortune
lin some instances. The school in
No. Hubbard is closed because OF
a mild case of scarlet fever develop
ling in the district.
| Work on the four new buildings is
progressing as fast as conditions per-
NIT, except in one instance. We
hope that those concerned will do
what they can to get school started
promptly. Eight months terms must
be conducted in order to receive
public money.
| The new law granting annually to
first class rural schools Twill go into
effect after the close Of the present
school year, thus enabling districts
to get everything required and to
see that the school is maintained at
the standard. Farther data in this
connection will be published later.
a copy.
Several teachers complain that the
copy of the school manual that
should be left in the library by last
years teacher can not be found.
| These manuals are the property of
the school district library, and
should not be taken away from the
school, as it is impossible to get
more copies from the state depart
ment. We trust this suggestion may
be carried out. The new manual, of
which a very small number has been
printed, is in most respects a re-
print of the last manual, so that
teachers will use the one they now
lhave.
| Miss jeanette Stewart, of Bruce,
has just returned from North Dakota
where she went to take school.
iShe reports that being unable to
isecure a boarding place nearer than
four miles from the school, she was
forced to give up the school. Miss
Stewart will probably teach in the
new school to be started about Oct.
first in Big Fails.
Another teacher will be added to
the training school faculty for ten
weeks course in domestic science,
commencing about April 10. This
will make this school still more Ser
viceable to Rusk county teachers,
Both departments of the school are
now nearly filled to their capacity.
The attention of principals of state
graded schools is called here to
recent QUESTIONABLE sent them by the
state department. These letters sent
principals from time to time from
the state should receive careful at
tention, and the suggestions be con-
scientiously followed. If anything is
lacking in the equipment, the school
board should be informed at once,
SO as not to jeopardize the schools
right to receive state aid. These
schOols are, and should be, a great
advantage to the pupils attend
ing them, and the laws are liberal in
encouraging them, but it develops
largely upon the principals and the
under teachers to meet the require
ments. There must be hearty accord
and cooperation between all teach
ers and the principal, as we'll as
with the school officers.
Keep the letters and manuals of
suggestions always at hand, strive
to make yourselves thoroughly famil-
lar with them.
Teachers in graded and rural
schools are expected to send to the
