Many or the counties OF the state
are showing a-keen desire to secure
the highest possible grade of school
supervision in carrying out provisions
of the Education bill passed by the
last General Assembly, according to an
announcement by State Superintend-

selves to the 67-cent tax levy which
the Legislature requires for schools.

or more teachers in the service who
will take a six to twelve week course
during the summer or special course
next year to qualify for posts of help
ing teachers and supervisors.

Tall, principal, discussed with super
,visors how the normal school can best
serve the counties and the aid which
its faculty can give to count supervis-
ors. Miss Virginia Stone, principal of
the elementary department, outlined a
course of study for that department
which has been in preparation for

possible within two weeks. Either
London or Lympne is suggested ss n

Poincare may prove to be more
moderate as head of the government
than he was as leader Of the op-

1t Is confidently believed that the
