sition.
The Rural School Inspector is here

Teachers examinations We're held
this week. Thirty-:1ine teachers were,
in attendance.
The superintendent was in Grand
Forks last week attending the State
Teachers Association. Among some
of the things proposed are the follow,
ing: A minimum term of nine months
instead of seven; State Truant Of
ficer, with several deputies to enforce
the Compulsory Attendance Law; ap-
portionment of State and County TUT
ition funds on the basis of attendance
rather than upon the number of chill
dren residing in a district. $50 get
busy and see that all the children are
in school.
Mrs. Martha Tatem has resigned as
rural school inspector, and Supt. Berg,
Of McHenry county, has been appoint
ed her successor.
Now for school nurse. Twenty
eight counties already have them.
We are preparing and will circulate
within a few days petition to be
signed by all the school directors, and
we expect to have a school nurse in
the near future.
Within a very short time unless
there is some delay, all school matters
will be taken care Of through the
state superintendent's Office. This
will simplify matters in the county
superintendent's Office considerably,
and we are glad things turned out as
they did. We very likely now will
have course of study.
/ Our Monthly Certificates of Perfect
Attendance have not yet arrived, but
as soon as they do we will. fill all re-
quests for them.
OF the fifty-three county superin-
tendents Of the state, twelve resigned
and eighteen were beaten at the re-
cent election. There will be only
twenty-three of the old superinten-
dents left. Never in the history of
the state have so many changes been
made, and we cannot help but think
it will not tend toward the betterment
Of the schools. Many Of the older and
best superintendent are ont, many of
whom have madeFrecords of efficiency
in their counties. Those twelve who
quit are doing SO either to get out of
the teaching profession or to go into
principalships where the salary is bet

ten. There are three hundred thous-
and school in the United States taught
by inefficient teachers. It is claimed
that about eighty thousand schools
are not in session at all through the
lack Of teachers.
