Notes From County
Superintendent

The teachers Of the Lincoln schools
are applying themselves in a most
loyal manner to the task Of Special
Industrial classification Of all military
registrants. This is q great task
and the government has called on the
teachers for assistance in order to re-
lieve the County Selective Board Of
some Of their many increasing duties.
Tho question Of whether or not
Emmons county is to have School
Nurse is still undecided. The re-
quired number of school board MEM
bers have not signed the petition.
We have no doubt but that, the petit
ton will finally carry. but we are
anxious to have the matter dispose
Of and placed before the county COM
missioners. While the war lasts, II
will be difficult to secure q nurse. but
no doubt our county could have one
for . part Of the school year.
We believe our school board could
