the county this year than were last
year. The total that will be required
TO supply all OF the schools this year is
132
The greatest source of waste in our
educational machine is caused from the
irregular attendance. and the non-at-
tendance of children who ought to be
in school. 1t is not expected that chill
dren will attend school until they are
six years old unless they may attend
a kindergarten. Many do not attend
after having finished the eighth grade
They are lawfully exempt Others are
lawfully exempt because of having
reached the age of 16 years There
were enrolled i'm all of the SchiOlS 30S1
pupils during the year ending June 30.
1920. OF the total enrolment only SOB
attended school 100 days or more.
The nOn-attendance and irregularily is
caused from long distances. bad roads.
prcva lence of epidemicS and work
rhp cause most to be deplOred is the
last. Under most conditions the strong
arm Of the law should prevent children
between the ages of 1.and II from be-
ing kept ont Of school to work.
As result of the annual eighth
grade PROMOTIONS. l'E) young people
were awarded diplomas of graduation.
Many Of these are now enrolled in
highschool classes. 1t may be of inter-
est to know that at the examinations
held to test fitness for passing the ele
mentary school course. 100 persons
wrote. 1t is customary TO invite pu-
pills who are about through with sew
enth grade subjects to write in those
branches. which according to the state
course of study should be completed by
the end OF the seventh grade.
The annual promotion examinations
involve the preparation of 1900 sheets
of questions: the reading or reviewing
of 10000 pages OF manuscript; 5000
entry units in the permanent record:
the preparation and mailing of either
the diploma. or a report to each pupil
whose papers were sent to the office.
and much other preliminary and clor-
zeal preparation.
A brief report from Prin h. NJ. Ores
den. Of the training school is herewith
presented The condition of this
school is very much improved. The
old deficit in it's funds has been cleaned
up.

The Training School Board,
Ladysmith, Wis.
Gentlemen: | have the honor of
submitting the report of the Training
School for the year ending November
9th
The enrolment to date Is 80 Last
year at this date is was 2G making an
increase Of 9, or nearly 35 per cent.
There are only three schools in the
state which can show larger increase.
while nearly one half of the training
schools show an actual decrease In
addition to the 81 who are doing the
work in residence. there are s teach
ers who are doing work by CORE
SpOndencc.
The members Of the Senior class
spent one week in n rural school Oh
serving. teaching and getting the coun-
try view point.
I'm response to repeated requests by
teachers Of the county summer SEES
sion was held last summer. This SEES
sion was attended by 53 teachers, all
of whom were working for a higher
grade of certificate. This summer
session met real need, both pedagog-
ically and economically. A careful es-
innate shows that at least 100000 were
saved by the teachers. In addition the
equipment of this school was used in
stead of lying idle. There is no doubt
Of the value of the summer session in
this county. and it should be made a
regular part of the annual work OF the
school.
The correspondence work which was
commenced in small way last year
also seems to have met Il real need and
is growing. The amount of such work
which can be done is necessarily linn
zited by the available teaching force of
this school.
The Model School is at present
taught most eXcellently by a substitute
teacher 1t was impossible to get a
regular teacher for the salary which
could be paid.
AS in past years the school has been
in close touch with the teachers and
schools of the county. There has been
hearty cooperation with all the educa-
tional forces of the county. The Board
has stood strongly for the school and
its work All this is heartily appre-
ciated by the teachers Of the school
and of the county.
Respectfully submitted.

Location at Uranus.

The latest calculations, based on
the perturbatiOns of Uranus, are
stated by DR.. Eric Doolittle to show
that the hypothetical planet beyond
Neptune is nearly four billion miles
from the sun, and requires 2S3 years
to complete a revolution in its orbit.
It is much smaller than other distant
planets, with a mass only six times
that of the earth. This is secret OF
it's elusiveness, and its discovery is
expected to reveal a minute body OF
only the twelfth or thirteenth magni-
tude. Search is now being made for
this mystery Of the skies near Gemini's
western border.
