 Evidence Not Ready
 Judges R. J. Barrett, American League attorney, said that the prose cution, had found it's evidence was not ready. New evidence being garn- cred would give the state an impreg nable case, he said, and might result in further grand jury investigation. E He said known reluctance of some grand jury witnesses to stand by their testimony had made new evl- dence necessary. Judge Barrett scoffed at rumors that the case was being pigeonholed To proceed now might make farce Of the case and result in guilty. men escaping pun ishment, he declared.

DIPLOMA GRADUATES

There were PA graduates from the eighth
grade of the rural and state graded schools
last June, besides those who graduated from
the eighth grade in grades below the high
school. About 1873 of these diploma graduates
attended the central graduating exercises and
school contests at Viroqua Saturday. June 4,
and received their diplomas in the presence of
an audience of about 1000 friends of educa-
ton. State Supt Callahan then superin-end-
ent-elect, gave an inspiring talk, there was
music by VirOqus Juvenile band, and a most
impressive time it was for those young people

The Wakefield school in the town of Ster-

schools with enrolment so small they should
follow the example of the Wakefield district

thing much to be desired, and il accomplished

the boys and girls advantages which they de

! have refrained from the use OF statistics
because the reading of a series OF figures Is
monotarous reading. and Unntsresting as

SUPERVISION

II is by frequent careful and sympathetic
supervision that teachers find themselves and
grow while in the service. Supervision uni.
fes and harmonizes the classes Of a school
and the schools of the county and tends 10
raise the standard OF the poor teachers, and
give poise and stability 10 the work Of the
better teachers II also tends to equaIize the
opportunity for instruction Of every pupil
The oftener the supervising force can get
around to schools the more can help them
therefore we have planned for more ire
ouent visits. Before the close OF October every
one-room school in the county had had an in
spection visit, and since that time, many have
had a second visit and over dozen have
been visited even a third time in order to
give greater help and supervision where needed
Next week we begin to hold group rural
school teachers meetings for demonstration
der to bring about still better and quicker
results in surerysion.

TEACHERS

OF the 214 teachers employed in the schools
under my supervision 40 are one-room teach
ers, and to fill these positions this fail It was
neseccary to issue eight special certificates
OF course these people are but poorly prepar-
ed for the positions they are allowed to nil.
The teacher shortage forced the use of these
and some dozen or more regularly GER
tificated teachers who not successful
enough TO warrant their use of adequately
qualified successful teachers were available

a well trained teacher, one realizing teach
er's responsibility and opportunity may be
placed in every school in our country In the

suggestive salary schedule which was prompt
ed to work out because of the dissatls acton
and inequalities under the hit and mss

and miss because if the board could hit hard
enough bargain a meritorious and worthy
teacher contracted at a low salary. while Z
the miss drove hard enough bargain nigh
salary was sometimes secured by teacher
not worth it. The salary schedule is only
suggestive but believe il helps TO eliminate
the Unsatisfactory hit and miss practice.

salary while a teacher with less preparation
and ability deserves less.

IN CONCLUSION

The past year has been busy one. much
more so than the previous one, because mad
a better knowledge of the conditions, needs
and possible remedies of the school situation
and educational problems of the county, and
therefore could do more; the work however,
has been attended with the JOY and the pleas
ure that always comes to those who labor
to improve and develop the opportunities OF
growing boys and girls.
With the aid of the county uniformity OF
Textbooks, and a public health nurse, which
l am taking for granted your honorable board
viii provide for at this session, / enter the
new years work with hopes of more new
school buildings and better prospect through
out for the boys and girls OF cur far county sS
education in our county in the past. and for
an you may see fit 10 do now or in the future
and again for your interest and attention 70
this lengthy report. ! assure you l appre-
eiate your cooperation and hearty support
/ shall endeavor with your aid and encourage
ment to strive ever for better schools for ali
Vernon county children.

TEACHERS INSTITUTES

A four day institute was held in August

work in order to acquaint them with the plans
for the year and start them out on the year s
work refreshed and enthused. The enrolment
was the best ever and the teachers almost
without exception showed that they were pres
emit because they realized the benefits 20 be
derived from the meeting.

INTRODUCTION

That there is nothing new under the sun.
is a truism which have heard from cur
earliest childhood. But at best it is only half
true, for while there may be nothing new,
the old is ever showing up in new relations,
and under new conditions and environments.
Therefore for practical purposes the old be-
comes new.
Therefore. while my report has TO do with
the same old subjects OF the time honored
reports in accordance with the law and an
esta1.ished custom, / shall aim 10 con-
struct it that there will be enough Of newness
in it to merit your attention and approval.
/ This report has to dc with a far bigger
institution than many realize. nor is Il any
ones fault because a matter Of fact schools
and educational agencies have been slow IN
! advertising themselves.
/ Briefly stated, TO conduct this big institu-
ton requires one-third of million dollars
It has to deal with nearly 5000 boys and Girls
about 5000 of whom are in the schools. 465
board members employ 3l4 teachers 70 ran
! this education factory. Cur schools reach q
rectly 1900 homes, while indirectly they reach
every citizen and resident Of the county.
