: COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
(By D. w. Pearce, Co. Supt.)

At an all day session of the princi-
pals and superintendents last Satur-
day, a uniform offering of high school
subjects for the three teacher high
schools was agreed upon. The offering
of second grade high schools will be al
most identical with the former except
that fewer subjects can be offered.
This being agreed upon, the next i'm
portant matter is to select uniform
text books. When this is accomplished,
a uniform course of study for the coun-
ty can be worked out. The three
teacher program will become the core
Of the offering of the larger schools
Of the county. These latter schools
are in position to teach more sub
jects than the former, however, there
can be a large degree Of similarity
thus making change from school to
school within the county an easy
matter and in no case working hard
ship on the pupil changing. There is
also a decided advantage in the uni
form texts lessening the cost to par
ents when their pupils change schools.
However, the biggest advantage comes
in the greater facility in administra-
tion and organization. Supervision is
easier and better both from the coun-
ty office and from the local head of a
school when the work of various
schools can be compared. 1t offers
excellent opportunity for discussions
in teachers meetings, the purpose of
which is improvement in results.
Stamp sales for the week are as fol-
lows: Miss Wheatley, Medina, $540075;
G. A. Hartinger, Spencer, $128925;
Miss Rice, Poe, $62; Miss Krieger, Poe
$18475; Miss Wolf, Guilford township,
$50.50. The banner for the week goes
to the ga grade, Garfield building,
Medina. The total sales of stamps
through the schools to date is $40, ,648.-
so. This represents the efforts of four
months. We cannot expect even that
amount from the vacation thrift socie-
ties, therefore it is hoped that many
places that have thus far done nothing
will in these last weeks of the school
term put on a campaign and get at
least one half of their quota, namely,
ten dollars per pupil.
According to our record, ninty-four
of our teachers purchased N. E.O.T.
A. tickets. Their names will be given
later.
Final reports should be made care
fully and promptly upon the close of
school.
