| time with Miss Olympia ElkOw. of Con-
rath. as teacher This school is locat-
| ed in the newest school district in Rusk
county. it having been created late last

| of the settlers has been leased for
school purposes and the children and
| teacher are quite comfortably prOyid-
ed for in their temporary quarters. A
new modern school house will be pro-
vided when the territory has developed
| a little more.
During the months of January and
| February. our supervising teacher,
| Mrs Jessie Sergeant Trotter. has been
| on leave of absence at her home in Con-
rath. Mrs. Trotter is much pleased
with her new home and if she followed
| her own inclinatiOns would ask to be
released from further duty as super
| wishing teacher However, she has re-
turned to official activity and will con-
| tinue in the field until the end Of the
present school year.
| IN those schools which through the
winter months have had a thirty-min-
ute intermissiOn at noon. the attention
/ of the teachers is called that after
March first. the full intermission OF
one hour must he restored. The school
| day closes regularly at four O'Clock in
the afternoon.
Daily Program
\ large, printed, daily program which
is Il copy Of the program found in the
Wisconsin Common School Manual, has
recently been sent to all Of the one
room schools in the county. This is
| the program that for two years we
have asked the teachers OF the one
room schools to follow as closely as is
practicable. The big printed copy that
was recently sent will ecOnomiZe time
for the present teacher as we'll as for
school next fall. 1t does away with the
/ big task of making a program for the
| the successor that may come TO the
school The program was worked out
in the state superintendent office ana
/ is the result of much thought and care
on the part Of the experts in his depart
ment. One of the very desirable fea-
lures Of this program is that it pro-
videS definite study period for every
child that is not actually reclting. AS
! the children become acquainted with
Fits provisions and the teacher skilled
in administering it, there will be much
less waste Of time by the children at
their seats in not knowing what to do
when a certain class is reciting. The
teachers who exercise care, thought,
and good Judgment will obtain the
| best results If school has not all
of the eight grades, the periods for re-
citations may he made proportionately
| longer. Pencil nOtatiOns of necessary
notifications may be made on the
printed sheet We request teachers
who have received a copy TO post it III
a conspicuous place and to follow it to
the best of their ability.
