Notes From County
Superintendent

As"As.A Ns's~SA Ass~'1y "SSAS 40 oupSIln-
tendent Macdonald designates it, will
begin Oct. 18th, and continue all
week. Friday, Oct. 10th, will be a
joint meeting of the teachers and
school officers. The officers have all
been notified that they will have an
"all day and evening" session. A
very complete outline of the work has
been published in the school notes, but
we will mention again that Supt
Wort, of Bowbells, is to be conductor;
the assistant is Miss Burns, Of Valley
City Normal, and the speakers are DR..
Winship and State Supt. Macdonald.
We regret that we are unable to give
the dates on which they will speak.
Miss Poole, the Home Demonstration
Agent, who will be permanently locat-
ed in this district, will arrive here the
18th, and take part in the program.
Mr.. Macdonald states that very teach
er, except those employed in class
flied school, is expected to attend.
Teachers will note that the use of
the monthly examination questions
and report blanks have been discon-
tinu.d. This does not mean that
teachers should have fewer tests or
examinations, and we hope that teach
ers will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity for individual initiative,
caused by this change, and show the
advancement and condition of their
schools in many and varied ways. We
expect to find record of the results
in the teachers register when we
visit the school. The teachers regis
ter will be the best report that can be
made and this will make for the min
imum of useless formality.
The state examiner checked up the
county superintendent books this
week.
Those who are willing to open their
homes to teachers during institute
week will confer favor on this office
by notifying Us as it will assist ma
terially in locating them.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend any session of the institute, but
we wish especially to invite the ladies
of the county to NEST Miss Poole at
this time. Miss Poole will have
charge of Home Demonstration work
in Burleig and Emmons counties for
some time. We regret that We can
not give more details, but will be glad
to answer questions after her arrival.
which will be on Monday. She will
be here all day Tuesday.
