kidney trouble. / had annoying
pains across the small of my back
and the kidney secretions were burn
ing and irregular in passage. l often
felt all tired out. A friend told me
L of Doan's Kidney Pills and / gave
them trial. 1 must say they helped
me wonderfully. / still use Doan's
Kidney Pills once in awhile and al
ways get good results"

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Elsewhere in this paper appears a
Teachers Examination, which will be
held at the Pennington High School
building March LIST and End, next.
Miss Alice Gruner of the Clearview
school reports that thus far she has
had no tardies. This is a most mus
ual record for rural school.
Two rural schools in the county
have already completed their 1918
terms. Each was in session only six
months. 1t is to be hoped that the
people of the Dent and Hildebright
districts will make provision for long
er terms next year. Only very few
districts in the county now have less
than an eight months term of school.
For the school year ending June
30thS 1916, the average salaries of
teachers per month was: male, $68.17;
female, $46.86; general average, $751;
81. For the school year ending June
30, 1917, the average salaries of
teachers per month was: male, $72.-
So; female, $46.57; general average,
$685.. The slight decrease in the av-
erage monthly salaries of female
teachers is accounted for by the fact
that in some OF the town schools ad-
ditional teachers were added at a sal
airy slightly below the county aver
age. The County Superintendent is
glad to state, however, that the re-
port for the school year ending June
30, 1918, will show a gratifying in
crease in the average monthly salar-
les Of female teachers.
An extract from the report of the
State Superintendent on the work of
the Esther High School is as follows:
81 have noted with pleasure from the
report of the high school inspector
the progress which has been made in
your high school. | feel that every eff
fort has been made financially to
equip the high school as thoroughly
as possible, l am sorry to say, how
ever, that for two reasons / am not
able to list your high school as first
class high school at the present time.
The two reasons to which l refer are
the inadequate building and the unset
tied condition of the curriculum. I
feel that no high school should be
classified as first class under the in
adequate. building conditions under
which both high school and elementary
school have to do their work. In the
high school, for instance, household
and two sciences are taught in the
room for laboratory. A very small
office room is used for recitation pur-
poses. This room does not have
enough blackboard space" 1t is
planned to publish in this column next
week more of the State Superintend-
ent's report on the work of the Esther
High School.
