NOTES

from the annual report of Miss |. e..
Swantz, as given in the Racine Coun-
Ety Board s official proceedings:
| The Training School has been a
big educational factor in this. and Ke-

er in this county before one year of
special training was required Of a
teacher. Since then all teachers are
compelled to have training, unless they
have experience. Because of this the
methods of teaching have made Won
derful progress in this county. The
work of the Joint County Training
School can never be over-estimated
and its worth should never be estimat-
ed in dollars and cents. It is a pleas
ure to work with trained teachers. =
