of the various locals in this district
have drawn up an entirely new consti-

place as district organizer when the
latter takes up his new duties as vice
president.

tend the Missouri convention or the
convention of District No. % at Kan

delegates to have the Assembly take
some action against the recently or

t The years work for the rural

ing to close. Many Of the schools
have already closed. Each teacher
should carefully measure up the

school equipment, with the standard
required for classification and make
application for State Aid, if possible.
Consult your Rural School Manual for
requirements for classification for
State Aid. If you have mislaid your
Manual, secure another from this Of
fee.
Two years ago one Of our rural one
room schools classified and drew State
Aid. Last year eight came up to
the requirements. We hope to see at
least fiftaen classify this year.
