About Our Sch Oois

10 patrons OF the Pubic Schools:
] am receiving few inQtlir-
les about summer schools, mostly
from teachers. | am advising
that there be no summer terms,
but that the schools begin as early
in November as possible so as to
get In a 5-month term.
When we only had two
months term. it was best to have
it taught in the summer time, but
now conditions have changed to
the extent that we are blessed
with enough money to have at
least five months. Now why
split the 5 months and have,
two in the summer and three in
the winter?
Any teacher or parent knows
that it takes at least two weeks
to get the pupils graded and the
school to running. Then it takes
lsuallytfrom one to two weeks
to close the school, with the net
result that there are only about
| four weeks Of real school during
the summer. and many times a
Dig meeting breaks into this.
| am receiving many applica-
tions for summer school,, which
means that the applicants do not
intend to teach the winter terms.
They intend either to do some
Ething else, or to teach somewhere
in the winter whore they can get
a five or six months term. Pa
irons justly complain about
breaking in new teachers. BY
having their term split" part
Taught in the summer and part
in the winter. they frequently
break in" two teachers for the
same school.
At the meeting Of the County
Board of Education Saturday, Mr..
j. A. Weatherford requested the
Board to give them a summer
term at Pleasant Site, and stated
that he agreed with the policy of
the Board about doing away with
the summer term, but told the
Board they had arranged to have
a six months term and guaran-
teed the extra month, and that
they would keep the same teach
er. This presented to the Board
the idea of having only two
months this summer at places
where the patrons would guaran-
tee the employment of the same
teacher for the winter and run
the school one month longer than
the free term.
Let me urge the people to de-
mand that their schools be taught
in one continuous term, and by
| the same teacher. Also let me
urge you to begin now to get
your teacher. You may have to
add a little to the salary to get
the teacher you need. But begin
now to look ahead and get ready
/ for a fine school to begin as early
I in November as possible.
Many communities are already
looking ahead. Some have select
ed their teachers and they are
now attending summer schools,
training and equipping them
: selves for better work.
Another thing. if you have any
l applicants for your school, ask
J them if they have state certifi-
cate. If they say mo, . then
they are eliminated from further
consideration.
| am anxious that the rural
; schools may keep pace with the
other schools, and | ask the CO.
operation of the people. If any
patron has a suggestion that will
: better conditions, let me have it.
Yours truly,

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment DR..
