School Notes

While at the present time just about
one4half of the rural school positions
are still vacant, there are in sight Just
about as many teachers as there are
vacancies; so if we hold in this county
all the teachers we have in sight there
will be no need to issue any special
certificates for the coming year, as
no special certificates can be issued
unless the supply of legally qualified
teacherssis exhausted.
z keep in the Office a map showing
the schools filled era those still vacant;
also list of teachers available. As
fast as the. schools are filed it is noted
on the map and as fast as teachers no.
tify me of their engagements, their
names are crossed off the list. In this
way | am able to inform teachers of
vacancies, and school boards of teach
ers Therefore teachers should be very
prompt in notifying the Office of en-
gagements. The law requires this
within ten days of the teachers en-
gagement. The penalty for not noti-
flying the county superintendent is loss
Of first weeks salary which goes into
the general school fund.
Promptness in sending in reports is
greatly appreciated by every person
who has to do with receiving and tilitig
reports. Since receiving reports IN
time makes it possible for me to get
out my reports in time | gladly COM
mend those who send or bring in the
early reports. Clerk Mrs. E. j. Ham
mer of the village of Hillsboro, was
! the first one to send in the Teachers
Retirement Fund Report. Some twen-
/ ty-five of the reports failed to reach
/ this Office at all, although over one
/ half of those clerks are sure they
mailed the reports promptly. Albert
1 Nelson, clerk of Mills district, town of
/ jefferson, was the first one in with the
4 Annual Report. This is July 70, the
\ last day for the report to be in on time
/ There are still nearly fifty reports not
/ in. OF course many of these may De
| in the mails and on the way; let US
/ hope that all are on the way.
/ / know an exceptionally good male
/ teacher, one with training, ability and
/ successful experience, who is avail
| able for any district willing to pay a
/ good salary to a good teacher. / also
| know of two or three exceptionally
good female teachers who would like
I to know of similar districts.
A four-day teachers institute will be
/ held at the county normal in Viroqua,
/ beginning Monday, August %. This
viii be followed by the regular fall
/ teachers examination. Every teach
er who intends to teach in Vernon
county should be present at this in
stitute as work and plans for the year
will be taken up and outlined.
Salem school district in the town OF
/ Webster, voted to make some decided
+ improvements in their building. The
I Salem building is not in bad condition.
/ but the people of this district do not
I believe in letting it get IN bad condl-
! ton. They are going to put the house
on full basement cellar, with furnace
room and storm basement They also
voted to have nine months school. The
action of the patrons OF that school az
their annual meeting show them to De
active and responsive to the need OF
their children and the cause Of Better
/ Schools fer Vernon County.
Yours for better schools,
