of the county, using the rural school score card to aid in claS- sifying the schools. Schools scoring 90 to 100 points will be rated as class A schools; those scoring 75 to 90 points as class B schools. and those scoring 60 to 75 points as class c schools. An attractive certificate will be issued from the State Depart ment of Education to each school scoring sufficient points points to be in either of the three classes. 1 will publish in the county newspapers from week to week the total points scored by the schools visited. l am mailing to the teachers cop ies of the score card, so they can begin to make such im- provements as will make their schools get a better rating.
 have also planned to give spelling tests at all the schools I visit on my first round. The second visit I will give arithme- tic tests. The average grade of each school will be published in the county papers. I want every teacher to take at least one county paper, and to urge patrons to take one. Send your school items in to the paper every week or so, and let's ere ate some interest and friendly rivalry that will make Monroe County schools the best in the state.
 We must have a school fair this year Nothing stimulates an interest so much as compar- ison. At the school fair teach CTS, patrons and children have an opportunity to compare the work of their school with that of other schools, and hence go home with a determination to do better work. The catalOg has not been prepared yet, but it would be well for teachers to preserve every specimen of good school work they have, for there will be provision made for the exhibition of all worth while.
 l may not get to visit some of the schools for a few weeks on account of bad roads, but will get around as soon as pos- sible.
 My regular office days are the first and third Saturdays of each month, but will be in the office other Saturdays when possible.
 Yours for better schools,
 w. E. Phipps, County Supt.

TT seems that Monroe coun- ty is to have a season of Hard Surface Road Building Agita- tion for the next few years. When the farmers living in the country who suffer most by not having roads awake to the injustice and folly of their do- ing without roads, then there will be something doing and Monroe county may be counted on to ego ahead" in rapid strides.

IF the farmers of Monroe county were really on to their job they'd organize and main tain community organizations in every school house and center.
