School Commissioners
Notes-
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

The annual statistical report of the
Commissioner to the state department
is made out this week. Also the second
quarterly institute report made out,
and fund paid to county treasurer.
The Central Michigan Round Table of
Commissioners Section, M. S. T. A.
will meet in Mt. Pleasant three times
this summer. The first session is held
June 24-25th and the commissioners
are supposed at this time to work dur
ing enrolment week for the welfare of
the teachers of their respective coun-
ties, as well as to confer on educational
and rural problems. Your commits
sioner will attend this meeting but
hopes to be able to return to the cold
Settlers meeting for the 26th.
Final Warning-Names of students
neither absent nor tardy from school
during the last three months of school
term should be now in this office. In
other years, few names have come in
as late as September but there is SO
much work to care for at the last
moment that it seems best to care for
this early in the year. No names will
be accepted after July 18th. Don't
lose your free fair ticket.
Forty-eight four month diplomas and
II full year diplomas were mailed to
st. James this week to those earning
them by punctuality and regularity of
attendance.
The county fair list shows that five
from one family were neither absent
nor tardy. Lillian, Edith, Daisy, Bert
and Clarence Burns, all from Wildwood
School, r. 3, Boyne City. Their tickets
will be mailed them later. Can any
family beat this record?
We have splendid list of teachers
or rather list of splendid teachers 60
ing away to school this summer. Since
last week we have heard of fhe follow
ing: Bessie Allen, Goldie Schneider,
Mrs. Susie Flagg, Mrs. Ella Harrison,
Hazel Sheldon, Leona Donaldson, Ruth
Malpass, Alice Sedgman.
Students names reported as neither
absent nor tardy for entire year, list
continued Albert and Margaret Knop,
Edward Hosmer, Kenneth Brown,
Ruth, Edna and Raymond Davis. The
last three are from one family and the
entire year makes a splendid record
for one mother to report. They live in
the Slaughter School district, r. 4,
Boyne City.
We have agoodly number of students
already lined up for our County Nor
NAL. AT present Mr.. Craig tells us that
he knows of five or six bright capable
young women from the city of Charlie
voix, but the names were not sent in.
East Jordan graduates who figure on
our home college first are: Hazel Kale
Pearl Snyder Sigma Thorsen, Josie
Hammond and possibly one or two
more. Mrs. HI. E. Hutton may enter
the Normal also this fall and .patrioti-
cally take up the teaching work again.
The work of carrying out the war
boards instructions relative to prepar-
ing skeleton programs for patriotic in
struction in annual meetings, notifying
directors and secretaries of same, plan
ing the organization with war board of
county is completed and everything is
well underway in Charlevoix County.
The directors have now only to act or
appoint their committees notifying
County War Board Chairman, of Char
levoix if they wish a speaker for the
special address: "The Task Before
U.s." or if they wish to appoint one of
the district electors to deliver this ad-
dress.
There will be no notes during July
and the first part of August. There
will be some work to see to but the
commissioner wishes to take a short
vacation if possible before the heavy
work of August reports and examina-
tons. Until then, pleasant summer
to you, gentle reader and friend.
