School Commissioners
Notes--
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

City schools all closed now. Rural
schools OF Rock Elm and East Chandler
closed June 18th with picnics. Harmon
school near Boyne Falls still in session,
and two schools on Beaver Island.
Annie Wilson, third grader of the
Mountain school not absent or tardy
for entire year. Will be sent diploma
for the same.
High school students not receiving
from their city superintendants formal
applications for payment of tuition by
their home district school board may
receive these applications from the
Commissioner. They must be present
ed in writing to one member OF the
school board before June oath. Failure
to do so would make it impossible for
the board to pay the tuition the follow
ing year. Parents should see that
these applications are in.
Several lists have been sent in for
fair tickets for next fall. After July 15
no names will be accepted. The
complete list will at that time be sent
to the secretary of the agricultural
society and the tickets ordered. Those
entitled to complimentary tickets should
see that their names are in now.
The reading circle books for 1919 are
now on the market "The Vitalized"
and "Americanism. "That Is It?"
Complete set from w. H. Faunce of
Cadillac or McMillin Co., Chicago for
$1.70. All progressive teachers will
read these books. The 1918 books are
the basis for the August examinations
just as in April last. The commissioner
is writing to the officers asking them
if they prefer handling the program at
time of annual meeting entirely from
local talent and if they wish also
speaker sent to them for the occasion.
General good feeling prevails regarding
this plan combining the busineSs"Eeet-
ing and patriotic instruction. Many
feel that il will make the annual meet
ing gathering place, just as it should
be. Holders of second grade and nor
NAL certificates with required amounts
OF normal training are many of them
choosing this summer for the gaining
of their credits. Two summers from
three for second grade renewals and
two summers from six for county nor
NAL. Most of our teachers have
in more than anyone would
ever think of requiring. They seem to
wish to progress. The following teach
ers will be in simmer schools during
the coming year. Miss Nell Maddaugh,
Miss Lola Stuart, Miss Grace Malpass,
Miss Thelma Specs, Miss Gladys Bus
tard, Lola Rothenberger, Miss Jessie
McKinnon, Miss Alice Sedgman, Miss
Georgia Scroggie, Miss Mary Berg, Miss
Marion Worth, Mrs. Margaret Fairchilds
Miss Leila Gennett, Mable Dunlop and
Mrs. Mamie Scroggie, and Miss Ruth
Gregory.
There are no doubt number of
others whose names the commissioner
has not learned.
Through mistake, the name of
Russell Hughes was omitted from the
list of eighth grade graduates. He is
from East Chandler school and passed
with very good average. Also the
name of Bernard Topolinski was
changed beyond recognition. Bernard
is from the Robinson school.
Miss Lillian McNeal of the county
normal class will teach in the Clark
school of Norwood township, Ethel
Brintnall will teach in the Rock Elm
School and Edith Carey in the Ranny
school. If each school board of the IL
still without teachers employ the teach
ers applying, before they accept in
other counties, we shall be short just
two teachers according to the best fig
ures and knowledge now available.
Perhaps we may somehow bridge the
| tide;
