| COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Since the last report of schools Wis
! tied, we have called upon the follow
/ ing: Poe, Hinckley township, Lodi,
Seville, Erhart, Chasebrook and Val
! ley City.
Two inter-school base ball games
have been reported: Granger at Val
ley City, score 4 to 8 in favor of Val
| ley City; Lodi at Homer, score to3
! in favor of Homer.
We desire to know what teachers
( do not intend to teach next year, also,
those expecting to teach but desiring
to change positions. We are very anX-
ious to serve both the interests of
teachers and school boards as well.
Hence the desirability Of this infor-
nation.
Now is the time for teachers to
carefully consider the weaknesses of
their pupils and as far as possible at
tempt to bring them up. A little add
ed care and emphasis may be of great
benefit to the child.
This is the time to look after the
attendance of pupils. At this time Of
year here is sometimes a disposition
TO take children out of school for work.
The law requires no provision for such
| non-attendance. We know Of places
where in years past, the attendance Of
{ the children has been poor and the
/ schools where such has been the case
! show the results of it. The child that
is out not only loses but the child in
, regular attendance also loses, for the
teacher has to attempt to help the
other one on return, thereby denying
the time properly belonging to those
regularly attending.
Uniform examination questions
have been prepared for grades -four
to eight, inclusive, for the schools un-
der district supervision. We are test
ing tho first three grades orally.
There will be q meeting of the Sup
erintGndents and Principals at the
highschooL, Medina, Saturday, April
10, at 10 o'clock, federal time.
The following is our stamp report
for the week: Miss Thompson, Hinck
ley $3.50; Miss Lowe, Homer,
$7l575; Miss Wheatly, Medina,
$52f8,50; G. A. Hartinger, Spencer
$113G; Chas, Bart, Chippewa Lake,

rs; Z, T. Riffey, Seville, SCOOPS;
Miss Miller, Brunswick, $16524; Miss
Indoc, Granger, $23.
Miss Lowe OF Homerville deserves
special mention for the excellent
sales for the week. The banner, how
ever, goes to Chippewa Lake. Mr..
Bart hes a record Of $28 .26 per pupil
enrolled Leadership does the work.
| do not believe there is a community
in Medina County that would be pleas
ed to hear their teacher say, This. is
a peculiar community. One cannot
sell stamps here" I believe
teachers, principals and superintend-
ents are securing the results commen-
surate with the interest they are man
| ifesting in the sale Of stamps. A
number are doing very well. Some
nothing. & few cannot carry the bur
den Of all. We cannot excuse our
selves by saying that we do not like
the way the government has done
some things. 1t is not yet time fol
our patriotism to cease bearing fruit
Many schools could easily reach theil
quota Of twenty dollars per pupil be-
fore the end of the school closes. Any
school should be chagrined to close
without having reached one half the
quota, namely, ten dollars per pupil.
Medina county as last reported stands
fifty-fifth among the eighty-eight
counties Of the state.
