County Training School


County Training School
This school, maintained jointly by
the state and county, is for the express
purpose of fitting young people for
teaching, more especially in rural
schools, and thus far has been doing
excellent work.
The school is maintained for ten
months each year, and in June each
year graduates d class of bright, ambi-
tiOus young people, nearly all of whom
are placed in the schools of this cOun-
~. A large majority of the graduates
have been very successful teachers.
The school has cost this county but
$500 year, aside from insurance the
state, and tuition received have fl
nanced the rest of the cost.

Leaving an Overdraw OFFS 955.SS
This Overdraw was OccasiOned by
the board being compelled to employ
one additional teacher to meet the
state requirements. Her salary being
$500 The $3.50 paid the ID. s. teacher
will be returned to the county by the
state Also, for securing a supply of
wood amounting to at least the balance
of the overdraw of $155.SS The wood
was bought when green, thus saving at
the present price, $500 per cord, or a
net gain of over 800 on fuel. This,
therefore, explains the OyerdraW for
the past year.
The present year. 191S-1919 owing to
the general advance in prices of every
thing, including teachers salaries, jan
itor services, fuel and school equip
ment. the cost of maintaining the
training school is somewhat increased,
of course, and it is for that reason, the
training school board is obliged to ask
the county to make an additional APP
preparation of at least $500 for this
year, in order to keep even by practic-
ing close economy. Until last winter,
good wood was secured at $500 to
$3.50 per cord Last winter the best
price secured was 500 for green ma
pie and birch-this winter WILL no
doubt, see the price advanced to $500
per cord. After the present year, when
one teacher can be dispensed with, Ow-
ing to change in the law to become
operative September 1919 it is prob
able that a somewhat smaller appro-
priation for the school may be permits
sible, but for the present year, the
amount asked for is needed.
