Reading Circle Diplomas were is-
sued to the following pupils this
week: Christina and Freda Serr,
Curtis Brooks and Ida Beska, Sand

and Reginald Albrecht, McCulley.
The following receive d Green Seals
for reading four additional books:
Emma Serr, Sand Creek; Marcella
Zirnhelt, Highland; Quinton Foell,
Blanche Stedman, Ernest Kuehl and
Reginald Albrecht, McCulley.
We are informed that we cannot
get supplies for the Pupils Reading
Circle at this time, but we will keep
on file all applications for diplomas
and issue them as soon as we can get
them. We still have all the seals.
The questions for the eighth grade
examinations, to be held March 31st
and April lst, have eben sent out
all teachers who have applied for
them should get them in plenty of
time. !,
The May examination will be held
as usual, but examinations will, be
held in only "a few schools, and all
pupils wishing to write may go any
where they wish. A list Of the
places will be published later.
Pamphlets containing the new
school laws passed this winter will be
sent out soon.
The annual Eight Grade Commence
ment and Payday for the children
CT the county will be held about
June Sd.
A new schedule for county officers
salaries goes into effect July LIST. In
this county the county superintendent
get $40 month increase. In Cass
county the increase is $1,000 year.
The new salary bill puts the salary
Of the county superintendent equal to
that of the sheriff and county auditor
and treasurer. At last the law-mak-
ers have come to the realization that
the one who oversees the schools
should be paid at least as much as
the officer who looks after the crimi-
mails.
The next school board meeting will
be held April 18th.
The following item from Mclean
county is applicable to Emrons:
1T is probable that if the county
superintendent did more advertising
about the number who are arrested
and fined for not sending children to
school, there would be few parents
more particular about keeping their
children il school all the time. This
past week two negligent fathers were
brought to Washburn by the sheriff,
and paid heavy fines and costs. Don't
ask the county superintendent to ex-
cuse your boy and girl for spring
work. The county superintendent
has absolutely no authority to do so.
The states attorney can give you a
written excuse where it is proven to
him that child is. NECESSARY TO
THE SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY,
and for no other reason"
"sHOW YOUR TEETH" is the slo-
gan for the week of April 11-16. The
plan is to carry message to every
school with literature, informal talks,
tooth brush drills, and examinations
Of childrens' mouths. We hope all
teachers will cooperate, and give
talks and advice to the pupils upon
the general care of the teeth. The
governor has issued a, proclamation
setting aside this week for the pur-
pose above mentioned, and we want
every one to do something.
