"A new ScnOOI district has Deen formed
in the town of Cedar Rapids, north OF
Glen Flora, and building rented fol
school purposes the present year. Mrs
Barker has been engaged to teach there
temporarily.
Owing to poor health, Miss Julia
SedmihradSky has been advised to give
up her school in Big Falls for the fall
term or longer. We regret that such il
the case. as she graduated only last
June from our training school and had
hoped to follow teaching a few years
room in the rural graded school neal
COnrath. The room enrolls about thir-
ty children from the first to the fourth
grade inclusive. Good salary will be
offered to an experienced successful
teacher. Apply to the superintendent
at once.
Two other rural schools need teach
ers at once. Call or write us.
Schoolhouse i'm No. Hawkins and
No / Murry have been enlarged this
fall to accommodate the increased en-
rollments. A few other districts are
in need of similar improvements.
Marguerite Bien has begun her school
in the Hunt district, Flambeau, and
Laura Bollman, in No. Strickland.
The educational exhibit at the Coun-
ty Fair was very good this fall al
though much less in quantity than some
years past. Every school should begin
this fall to prepare materials for next
fall, so that a better showing may be
made. Teachers owe this to the chill
dren, to the parents and to the cause of
education. Let there be no slackers
in our school work.
The departments at Washington and
Madison are making a most earnest
call to teachers and parents to maintain
the standard and efficiency of every
school during these war times. The
schools must be maintained at any cost
1t is directed by federal authority at
Washington that as little building of
schOOlhOuses as are actually necessary
to accommodate the children be done
during the continuation of the war. If
present conditions in buildings are I'M
sanitary or unsafe to health or COM
fort, they must be improved, of course.
1t is not the function of the depart
ment to suggest violations of the laws,
tjrIt it is held to be proper to advise the
people in charge of the schools and
other utilities, of the greater need of
capital, labor and materials by the gov
ernment in prosecuting the war than in
erecting school buildings, unless exist
ing conditions make it imperative to
fully comply with the technical fulfill
ing of the requirements.
As far as possible, temporary build
ings should be used The coming gen
GRAFTON must be educated, and neces
sary facilities provided, but they
should be provided with the least ex
penditure possible now.
