County School Superintendent Mil Ter, who recently concluded an off cial visit to public schools in the northern section of the county, cX- pressed himself yesterday as very agrecably impressed with conditions in all districts, and in giving a review of his observations mentioned the fol- lowing as deserving of attcntion:
 "I was very much surprised on re- cciving from Fair Oaks, a new school publication named The School Mes scngcr," which was read with much pleasure, because it contained infor- nation of interest and furnished means by which d clear knowledge could be formed of the excellent work which is being done there by Miss Grace Gillespie, teacher. This paper was started jointly by the schools of Fair Oaks. Simmons and Skull valley, each agreeing 10 contribute, and 10 pass the paper from school 10 school. Each grade is well cared for and af- lords the teachers a fine opportunity to know what the other schools are accomplishing, especially in compost ton, English, writing and spelling"
 \ like movement in other districts of the county is suggested by Super intcndcnt Miller, which would break the monotony of the school grind, be- sides prompting the pupils to do something worth while
 The Scligmau school, taught by Miss Lillian Baker and Miss Bucua lIilty, has the largest enrolment since the school was organized. Miss TTilty has charge of the primary room and beside her 5S pupils, teaches IA fourth graders, who occupy an addi- tional room.
