COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

On account of quarterly ex- aminations and the clerical work of the office, the County Supt. has visited only one school since last writing. The school visited was the Aberdeen school in Roe Special School District. This school, with an enrolment of IF, had 16 pupils present, and notwithstanding the fact that the equipment is very poor it is doing some real good work. Four took the standard spelling test for the sixth grade, and made an average of 70 per cent. Henry Poe made 95 per cent, this being the highest grade made.
 The directors of Rural Special No. l, met at the County Sup erintendent's office Tuesday to consider bids for the contract to build a new school house at Shiloh. There were several bids for the contracts, but MT. E. T.

Boals' bid was accepted, since it was the lowest bid made. The building when fully equipped will cost approximately s10.- 000.00, and will be one of the handsomest school buildings in the county. The directors have planned to hire three teachers with qualifications as high as the city schools demand. By hiring teachers of this tyne. they will secure about $1OOOOO from the state as an aid to teach Agriculture and Domestic Science.
