TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES

Several! teachers have asked the
Training School for some types OF COM
munity entertainments which are not
as old as the usual kinds. We have
several rather new forms Of enter
tainments to suggest to those teachers
who are looking for variety.
The teachers of the Training School
have visited about twenty rural schools
this fall These visits have revealed
some things i'll which the Training
School as well as the rural schools can
improve their work greatly. In some
Of these visits we have wondered why
there is no flag floating, as required
both by law and by patriotism
The war in which we are engaged at
the present time should be used in
teaching whenever occasion offers
Glasses i'll agriculture, history, geog-
raphy and language can find frequent
occasions for referring to it, \ little
later in the year the class in Civics
should be built very largely upon it.
We have now travelling library
which teachers in the country may use
if they wish.
How many of last years graduates
who hold Reading Circle diploma are
reading the two books required this
year to get their seal to be placed on
the diploma? The Seniors are read
ing for the diploma of the Teachers
Reading Circle, and the Juniors are
are working for the Pupils Reading
diploma.
The annual institute is over, and
much inspiration has been gained. One
Of the teachers writing to this school
says that her first grade class is much
better since she attended the institute
and took back with her some new
methods and ideas
The School Board convention comes
the 4th of December If possible,
teachers should attend it, But Wheth-
er you can come to this meeting or not.
Of course, you are coming to the Lii
brary Institute which will be held in
the Training School, Saturday De-
cember Sth.
The Training School building is COM
ing to be used more and more as con-
ventiOn place. Meetings of all sorts
are being held there Last week the
Ladysmith and Rusk County Chamber
of Commerce met there. \ short time
ago special meeting Of the Corpora
tive Creamery Co. was held in this
building. We are glad TO note this
tendency to use the building. That is
one purpose for which the county built
it. There is no reason why the build
ing should not be in practically CON
slant use. We are always glad to well
come Rlsk County societies which are
neither political nor UNCONVENTIONAL
Anything which looks TO the uplift of
the county is part Of the Training
Schools business. If the use Of the
building will have tendency to en-
courage these activities. we are glad
to have you use it. This increasing
use. however. makes it imperative that
at least a days advance notice be Civ
Ell to the Principal of the intention to
use the building.
The Model School has received lot
of letters from the 9th and 9th grades
Of the school taught by Magma John
son. one of the last years graduates
Our 9Th and 9th grades are working on
answers to these letters. We can take
on one or two more correspondents.
The first parents meeting Of the
year is being held in the Model School
today 1t is planned to have several
during the year. We feel that parents
should have Il more intimate know
ledge of the work OF the school, and
they are urged to attend not only
these meetings, but to visit the school
as often as possible The best work
can be done only where there is per
feet cooperation between parents and
teachers.
