plant in regard to any school matter
that complaint should be taken direct
ly to the school board. If the matter
is then not satisfactorily adjusted
complaint should be made to the coun-
ty superintendent who does what he
can to right the matter. II ne does
not suit you then, and not till then,
you may bring the matter to the at
tention of the State Superintendent.
If he does no decide as you wish, and
you still wish to test the question out.
you may bring the matter into court.
Many oftentimes bring mataers to the
attention of this Office that can be
settled peaceably by the school
boards. Many write directly to the
state superintendent, and every time
the letter is returned to this Office for
us to make our decision first.
Some one made the remark the 9TH
er day that we ought to have normal
teachers in all our schools. There
are more than five thousand schools
in North Dakota, and our Normals
graduate not more than three hun
ired each year. Matrimony takes a
third of the teachers each year, and
every three years We have practically
a new corps of teachers. Another
thing: Normal graduates go into town
schools at salary of eighty to eight
y-five dollars. If Emmons county
went into the normal schools and said,
1--WE will pay all you graduates this
year $780," how many do you sup
pose we would get. This qustion is
to hard to answer. Money talks in
school work as well as in the medical
or any other profession. You get ex-
actly what you pay for. A good teach
er will not teach for seventy-five for
seven months year when she can get
more and twelve months work in
some other line.
School boards, teachers and pa
irons should remember that we are
ryady at all times to assist you.
