COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS

A few more rural school teachers
needed at salaries ranging from $50 to
$65. For certain of these we can place
inexperienced teachers who have the
necessary academic preparation, al
though they may not have attended a
training or a normal school. See the
superintendent for further information
at once.
School Day at the Fair
This has, by order of the manage
ment been changed from Friday to
Wednesday, the 18th. All should as
sist in giving this wide publicity.
Children admitted that day free. Fri
day would much better accommodate
teachers and pupils and would not
interrupt school work as does holding
lit ON Wednesday, the middle of the
week. Let every school do its best to
make the exhibits as good and as
numerous as possible. Each school
should send something for an exhibit.
Articles should be sent fully prepaid
to the superintendent by Monday so as
to insure getting entered. There is no
other expense. Miss Maude Noteware
and Miss Louise Wegner, supervising
teacher, will assist in handling the
school department.
To the School Board and the Teacher
Has your school good and suitable
flag? It should have one at least 4 by
Z feet, better by s, of full wool gov
eminent bunting. 1t should be kept
neat and clean, not allowed to become
frayed out or torn. Should that hap
pen, have it repaired at once. Do not
leave it out over night nor during a
storm. Care for it in manner befit-
ting the noble American emblem that
it is. Your flag and my flag Teach
and frequently use the accepted flag
salute.

Single adjustable desks, a satisfactory
sample of the desk may be seen at the

The plans for the September work
have been mailed to rural teachers.
If you do not receive yours, write Miss
Louise Wegner, and duplicate set will
be mailed you. Follow these closely,
and the Manual, using as closely as
may be the Recitation Program there
given.
At the close of the second week, you
are to send to this Office a copy of your
program and the classification of your
school.
Post conspicuOusly large copy of
the program in your room. If you have
not copy of the school census, ask
your clerk for it, and keep it in the
register or in your desk for ready ref
erence.
A Word of Caution
Teachers should refrain from ''set-
ting pupils or classes back at the
opening of the term. It is common
for children to forget during the long
vacation some of their school work of
last year but after two or three weeks
reviewing and getting adjusted to
school work again, many pupils soon
show that they are able to take the
work as suggested by their last teacher.
Good review work the first two weeks
will usually put the classes in good
shape for advanced work.
