COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

D.
There is no money on hand and they
cannot cash their warrants.
Forty-five schools are now enrolled
in the Junior Red Cross. Let's get
hem all enrolled before Christmas.
Examination on Teachers Reading
Circle work will be held December
11th.
Several of the teachers are starting
night schools. We hope that every
teacher will try anG start one. The
law provides that night school may
be started on ten or more pupils, and
if it continues three nights week fer
twelve weeks the state will pay cne-
half the expense and the district must
pay the other half.
Why not name your school? There
has been considerable agitation for
the past few years to name the farms.
We hope every teacher will get TO-
gether with her patrons and select
name, and report it to this office.
Don't let your school by the name of
No. l or No. 2.
Interest your patrons in visiting
school. To the one-room school hav
ing the most visitors during recita-
tim time this year we will give some
kind of banner or placard. Let's
have the school patrons see what we
are doing.
Paper towels can be bought in rolls
Of one hundred and fifty. A case Of
twenty-five rolls costs $3.50.
A number of school directors are
responding quickly to our letter tell
ing them what their various SCHOOLS
need. If the schools have the neces-
sary equipment they can get along
muc!, 1aster.
If teachers will put their needs up
tc their school directors in the right
way, and convince them that the
things are necessary, the directors
viii. be quick to help them.

Now is a good time to have your
school grounds cleaned up. Carry of
all rocks, ashes and rubbish. Many
school grounds are a disgrace to the
community. Teachers should throw
the ashes way back of the schoolhouse
and not in the front yard.
! A number Of the treasurers have
not yet filed their bonds with the
county auditor. Until this is done
you cannot get hold of any school
money.
Carefully arrange your daily pro-
gram including study periods for eacl,
grade,/ then post it in a prominent
place and follow it strictly.
The marks on the report cards
should be the result of the daily
standings for the month, plus the
marks given on occasional tests
In no case should they be derived
from examinations alone.
| Above all do not mark your pupils
higher than they deserve. Pupils
should be placed in the grades where
they can do the best work. You
should not give high marks simply to
get the good will of the parents.
We have on file several copies Of
new readers. We hope teachers will
come in and see them before ordering
