COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.

I've received today check for
S132.05 from Blue River schools, Miss
Dorlos Burris, principal This amount
is the contribution Of that village
towards the Armenian fund. A con-
tribution like this from a village the
size of Blue River shows how thor
oughly alive and thankful the people
are for the advantages, and the priv
ileges this nation affords them and
how willing they are to share with
this most unfortunate people that
they NAV at least have food TO eat
and clothes to wear If the cities, vii
lagos, and country districts would fol-
low the example of Blue River and
contribute in like proportion Grant
county would double its quota.
11-Teachers OF Grant county who
have had socials and have some money
left could not contribute to a better
cause Teachers who are planning
socials should make every effort to
make people of her district familiar
with the Armenian situation. A con-
tribution of even ten or fifteen dollars
from each of two hundred districts
will go far towards making up the
Grant Co. quota. Send subscriptions
to r. M Orchard, Lancaster.
111-Pamphlets containing full par
ticulars. from various activities for re
naming school year have been sent
out to all teachers in the county.
read it through carefully. 1t will save
you writing to this Office.
Supervisors spent the past two
weeks visiting schools in Jamestown,
Paris, and Smelser.
V-Stin some teachers who have
not sent us pictures of schOolhouses.
VI-County Superintendent spent
the week in township of Woodman.
VII The pamphlet mailed to all
rural, graded, and high schools of
the county contains a premium list
for educational exhibits as offered by
various Fairs of the county This
premium list was made with the end
in view of collecting the best of the
exhibits at the County Fairs for
county exhibit at the State Fair at
Milwaukee. If each teacher will CEN
ter on five or six items in this list
we will be assured of good educa-
tional exhibit at various county Fairs
as we'll as the State Fair. One way
of letting people know that there is
such place as Grant county.
/ Wis subscriptions to the publicity
campaign are not all in. This is an
educational campaign for teachers,
with such men as L. d. Harvey at the
head and merits the support of every
! teacher in the county.
/ IX-The postponed meeting of the
! Southern Teachers association will
be held at Madison on March 26th and
/ 9th. All teachers of the county are
urged to attend this meeting. Time
SO lost need not be made up nor will
salary deductions be made.
