COUNTY II SCHOOL NOTES

Although all plans for the Teachers
Institute have not yet been completed,
some information can be given at this
time. The date has been set for
the week beginning October 23rd !.
The State Superintendent informed
this Office that the selection Of the
conductor Of the institute has not
been fully decided upon, but efforts
are being made to secure the services
of Nj. = Q. saxvik, City superin-
tendent Of the Bismarck schools.
Mrs. Emma Goldman, Of Iceland,
will be the primary assistant. All
teachers are requested to supply
themselves with pencils and notebooks
and cpme prepared to take plenty Of
notes. for they will prove valuable q
great many times during the year J.
Institute week is not q play-week, but
a week devoted to the instruction Of
the teachers Of the county as to how
to obtain the best results with the
materials you have to work with.
Every teachers Is also requested to
bring the Course Of Study, as this is
to be the basis on which the work Is
to be presented, and we have no
copies in the Office to loan, even for
that week. We are sorry that we are
unable to get . large supply Of the
Course Of Study, but they are unob-
tainable. The expense Of holding
the institute is partly paid BY the
fees collected from the teachers whom
certificates are issued, so we hope
that every teacher will come with the
determination of getting his. OF her
moneys worth.
Every teacher should remembar
that one q the laws Of North Dakota
requires the raising of the United
States nag every day during good
weather that school is in5session. Il

Cross was organized, during recent
years, as IN auxiliary to sthe Red
Cross and carries their work On
through the schools. We hope every

rolled this year, and that every pupil
